Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel.
Andy Borkowski started this program nearly 10 years ago and, in that time, it has changed from a simple CZcams show, to a radio show, a tv show and now once again a CZcams destination. Welcome to VGS.

"You don´t hear me lecturing your old man how he oughta be raising you, and believe me, there's plenty to critique"
MY MAN GOT BALLS TO SAY THAT IN KRATOS FACE
I was thinking same😂
I mean, given the family history, "plenty" is practically a compliment
I mean even Kratos thinks Kratos is bad at parenting
Technically, Mimir is ball-less now lol
Lol he called him son of a bitch when they first met on the bridge
Faye thought having a kid with kratos was the best chance for giants to live on because she knew Kratos would brutally slaughter anything that threatened their son ^.^
Good point
That's why the Giants and Faye referred to kratos as Fárbauti .... Which means cruel striker...lol
Dude I don't wanna imagine what would happen to Thor if he tried to attack Atreus.
@@geekymetalhead5112 Kratos would probably dug up everything he swore be buried and by that I mean his old self, the Ghost of Sparta
@@WEEBMUN and proceed to rip somebody's head off
Given how intense the fight with Baldur was, I can't even fathom how insane the clash between Thor and Kratos will be
Grimmm 258 Leviathan vs Mjolnir baaaby im waitin for that shit.
Grimmm 258 I hope they leave it to the end
Their clash will be worst than thor and the world serpent and will send them back through time most likely
I think their clash will be so great that not only it can be felt through the nine realms but Gods from all other mythologies can feel its power as well, as the battle will be mentioned by other mythology gods in future God of War games. Hopefully it will be this fucking EPIC lol!!!
I know right? It's gonna be too intense for anyone to comprehend.
I like how Thor is protrayed in this version of Norse mythology: An immortal serial killer that strikes n a dark, stormy night, wielding a weapon of unimaginable power, and his visage of bloodlust being the last thing you'll ever see.
To be fair this is a story from Giant side since Mimir and BOI's mother is on the giant side.... Of cause those Gods gonna sound mess up =w=
@@darkoneforsteam499 Are they wrong? You seen how messed up his brother, sons, his advisor, wife, and the giant's corpses.
@@isaachinds3736 In Mythology, The Jotunn used to pillage Midgard, Thor was the first line of defense with his hammer. There's a story of Aesir having to build a great wall around Asgard because of them. If they didn't want to get their heads bashed in, they should have stopped. Also they never died out because Surtr and his army, The Jotunn, The Armies of Hel, Fenrir, Jormungandr and Loki are all present at Ragnarok.
So you can see God of War doesn't hold up to the original story. But this is Santa Monica's story, not an interpretation of what happened.
What happened to the god's leader Zeus last time. Dont forget that. Dont underistimate kratos the ghost of sparta. The brutual who mercilessly kills all gods of olympus one by one.
Nigga that’s just how it is in normal mythology
If you thought Baldur was bad, you won’t even imagine how brutal Thor and Freyja will be given that you’ve murdered their sons.
Baldr is seeming stronger since he feels no pain and is invulnerable to all attacks physical or magical and freya can’t harm Anyone that’s why in the last fight between baldr and Kratos you could see that freya could only use plants and tree trunks to stop them from fighting and then she resurrected the dead body of a giant but never actually harmed anyone, so Thor wouldnt be the most brutal but maybe very stupidly strong
Well Baldr was known for being “The kindest of gods” if that’s his reputation I can’t even imagine how horrible the other Aesir are
Baldur is only so tough because of his invulnerability. Mimir even says Baldur is a tracker not a fighter. Considering how tough he was, Thor is probably so strong he’s probably going to make baldur look like a cake walk.
@@jaredhamilton425 Baldur is kind and noble in the norse mytholpgy. I think the curse corrupted him.
@@markmarine8841 i thought she was cursed to never be able to harm another. she could heal, or manipulate things, but she was incapable of harming Kratos, Baldur, or Atreus. you think she wouldnt have tried to kill them when they had the last fight? if she was able? she probably would have tried to at least kill kratos and end the "needless" killing of her son
One of the reasons why worship of Thor disappeared is because Christian missionaries proved that they could chop down trees dedicated to him without being smited by lightning, thus showing that Thor either didn't exist or that their God was stronger. So Thor going up against a guy with an axe again is sort of a rematch.
GhostRider659 huh. That's pretty cool.
Very poetic in the grand scheme of things
Thry slso made Jesus a more masculine person to compete against Thor from what I’ve read
Roland Deschain Yeah thats what makes it all the more fun. The desperation as to even try and make him more masculine in the north xD
Where did you hear this?
Damn. Two mighty warriors with legendary weapons, face to face.
That's gonna be wild.
Pelerin4129 ik dude. I really want kratos to kill Thor but I don’t mind kratos dying to Odin
Atreus: mind if I shoot my aRrOws?
@@thepack9070 thor is actually stronger than zeus and odin in myth
@@MonkeVbnn yet he died from a poison? really? and offended sooo quickly okay
@@justineanddreilogan4825 means jourmungandr's poison is strong af
Only men sleep in a full set of 75 pound plate armour
Poor mimir
Arthur morgan Mimir was actually thrown aside if you look carefully
@@pagogaming2268 If you go under the map you'll see that Mimir is indeed under Kratos not next to him.
Juho h in the beginning of the game the huge tree you chopped down actually wasn't picked up and fell under the map if you "looked under the map" and the one you picked up was a fake
So yeah Mimir was thrown to the side because how the hell can he sleep properly there is a head of his back
@@pagogaming2268 Idk how he can do it, but he can.
I just noticed when Thor uncovers Mjolnir, Kratos puts a protective hand in front of Atreus
HOLY SHIT DUDE THE LITTLE DETAILS IN THIS GAME ARE FUCKING AMAZING!
Kratos isn't stupid (well, not AS stupid anymore) he may not like Mimir's stories much but he does listen to them. He knows how strong gods can be and Thor's built quite the reputation for himself. He's aware of the threat it poses.
@@everythingsalright1121 still ghost of spartas reputation is faaaar more fearsome than thors
@@AmaanKhan-fq4io lol what's a puny giant killer in front of pantheon slayer
Young Kratos destroys Thor, Odin, Baldur, Magni and Modi all at once.
Years later we still got Mimir dangling from our hip
It's not like he's going out for a stroll.
Felix Farside Yeah, but you think he would, I don't know, be put on some special altar or, hell, just decay
Shoulda popped him on a scarecrow. He can yell some obscenities at Odin's ravens!
Let's hope cory give him a body
I doubt it. At the end when he said the dwarves took uncomfortable measurements I think these dwarves are making him a power armor of sorts
“We made the axe to restore the balance of power after Thor went all Bre-Zerk with our hammer”.
Don’t you see what this means guys? The dwarves forged the Leviathan Axe to give the giants a fighting chance against the Aesir. This means that the Axe is a weapon to rival Mjolnir, and that Kratos might survive Ragnarok after all!
Ragnrok is the death of norse Gods.
And kratos will be the on who will bring it.
and Blades of chaos are Powerful even dwarves said that they are special
What if the Leviathan axe and Mjolnir break in a big clash and will be reforged as a half axe half hammer known as Stormbreaker. I like that idea
Probably because he's Tyr?
@@ammadkhan2352 Kratos won't bring Ragnarok. Mimir talks about Surtr bringing forth Ragnarok. And with the *spoiler* at the end of the game, its likely that they will stick close to the story. If I remember it right the beginning of Ragnarok goes, Surtr bringing the fire giants from the west and Loki bringing his offsprings (Jormungandr, Hel, Fenrir, etc.) in the east along with the frost giants. Ofc GoW had the creative freedom in that Jormugandr, Hel, and the others didn't come from Loki, but I think this is still how it would go,
Kratos wont live through ragnarok. He is ragnarok
I always wished it was Thor that shouted “Who are you?!”
Kratos being the stranger in this land and Thor turning up knowing this person killed his son etc then demanding to know who he is.
Don’t think they could do that because they haven’t found the right voice actor yet
@@sh_2426 yeah but you can hire a guy to do one line, it wouldn't big that much of a continuity error if he sounds a bit different in the next game
He would say it in a Norse way Thor takes like this who are yahhhh?
He probably has behind the scenes.
Thor doesn't care his son is dead he is the one that beat him anyway before atreius finished him
I love the real Norse Mythology, they made Thor and Odin more darker in storytelling, bloodthirsty Gods killing off Giants and getting famed for it.
Mr. TeeRad blame Marvel, Marvel made these “oh so noble” “oh look at my flowing locks of hair and six pack abs” playboy kinda look, Norse gods were massive assholes, downright vulgar, vile, beasts of deities who had no qualms committing atrocities that we’re downright evil, soooooooo much better than what Marvel made them into
@@hanscascante7933 The Greek Pantheon was no different as well.
Peza88 what’s your point?
@@hanscascante7933 just saying, alot of the old mythologies had some very messed up characters. Take Cronus for example, he castrated his own father with a blunt sickle to usurp power and then swallowed 5 of his 6 children to prevent them from repeating history. That is the Grandfather of Kratos.
I just think its good that the writers of God of war acknowledge that its not all sunshine and rainbows.
Peza88 well yea, but I was referring to Marvel
so thor thinks his power of lightning with mjolnir can defeat kratos?
When kratos already killed zeus
IanJoe Bartoces Zeus=Odin. Kratos should outright rape Thor, but based on how he was displayed in this game and the whole Loki crap, it's looks like Thor has the upper hand in terms of prophecy and what not. But we know Kratos has a thing for breaking prophecies lol
But he now lacks the blade of olympus which the majority of his Godly powers were stored in and he released the power of hope from his body after impaling himself with said sword, so who knows how powerful Kratos is now.
Bananas Alfredo Let’s not forget that Kratos himself acknowledges that he is weaker now, where before he was absolutely confident of his ability to kill literally anything. Thor is likely equal or slightly lesser in strength to GOW 3 era Kratos. The deciding factor in their fight will be Atreus/Loki.
Alex Dike Thor is often referred to in Norse mythology as the strongest of the Aesir, while Odin is referred to as the wisest.
In norse mythology when ragnarok happens all gods die but get reincarnated as people of same power but only get a glimmer of memory in their past lives meaning artreus being loki isnt a strech
Time to add another lighting god to Kratos' kills
Norse mythology has a lot of Gods with power over ice and lightning. Hestus and Loki as far as I can remember are the only prominent Gods that rule over fire.
This one will have to get it hammered in on who is the boss.
Kratos struggled against Baldr. He will get raped by Thor.
Ramiel nah hes kratos fate is on his side for crying outloud zeus did kill him and he came back from the dead to fuck him up
Ramiel yea cuz balder felt no pain thor would get raped by kratos
So, Odin sets his own demise in to motion by releasing the wolfs, telling Thor to slaughter the Giants and sending Thor to try and kill the final Giant.... Dudes gotta stop while everything is fine.
Too late. He set Ragnarok in motion basically as soon as he heard the prophecy
Yeah, Ragnarok tends to paint the Giants as being the bad guys. But if you pay attention to Norse mythology, you start to understand that the Gods were actually a bunch of jerks and that maybe the Giants are more sympathetic than we've been lead to believe. Fenrir just wanted the gods to recognize his strength and treat him with respect. But they were so paranoid of him that they bound him in chains for thousands of years. And the World Serpent had only just recently hatched when Odin decided to throw the poor creature into the depths of the sea!
@@Nyrufa which is also a very big mistake of him
@@Nyrufa So Basically Olympus
@@Nyrufa actually in real norse mythology thor is knows as a hero even in Germany he is known as a good god and not evil
They cant hype Mjolnir this much and not give it to us in the sequel. It sounds like its a nuke.
When Mimir said that it´s a Superweapon. My thougts where going to a Weapon of Mass destruction.
Dude it can hit you back in time
Thor might be the main villain of this trilogy. Odin would be the master mind behind him.
Hopefully in the next God of War you'll be able to wield Mjolnir
Emilio Hernandez probably not to keep it. But maybe a quick combo during a cutscene
Thor: "So...You're the Ghost of-"
*Kratos grabs him and starts bashing his head in with the hammer*
Tomb Raver accurate representation of skipping cutscenes.
"DO NOT...CALL ME..THAAT!"
Kratos: enjoying the sun in a green field...
*press skip cutscene
The world is burning and kratos is seen all covered in red
Mimir already said Kratos currently doesn't stand a chance against Thor.
Next thing you know in vid of war 5 Kratos grabs Thor’s hammer and bashed him with it
What gets me is how Thor's fingers twitch next to Mjolnir the same way a cowboy's hand twitches next to his holster, just before he draws his pistol.
It's literally like Thor is saying "Draw, God of War, if you ain't yellah (yellow)."
the fastest uhh... hammer in the west?
Gun Troller *North
@@tahabashir3779 Still makes sense. After all, the hammer is what strikes and fires the bullet in a gun.
You know '' yellah '' is come on in Arabic right
I have a feeling Thor is gonna be one of Kratos's toughest fight yet.
Nope kratos manhandles him
Amaan Khan it definitely won’t be that easy stop over hyping kratos the guy is really strong but Thor is on the same level if not arguably stronger Thor won’t be easy for kratos at all
@@AmaanKhan-fq4io I mean Kratos barley won against Baldur, and Thor is far more powerful than Baldur.
@@anthonyrodriguez8788 I know I’m late but the creator of the game said that kratos never showed his true strength in this game meaning kratos never true on bulder
Well Baldur knocked out Jormungandr in 3 hits while Thor had a draw with it and send the snake back in time
Mjolnir looks AWESOME! I can't wait to see Gungnir and Tyrfing!
His goats?
@@AtheistGamerz Gungnir is Odin's spear, said to never miss its mark when thrown.
Tyrfing is an ambiguous sword mentioned in the Eddas, I don't know much about it.
You're thinking of Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr.
@@AtheistGamerz Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr are thor's goats lol
@@Rozwarty oh nice.
@@adityabhalekar3506 thanks
One thing that always stuck in my mind was that Cory Barlog always said that Mjolnir was the nuclear bomb for the Nordic world. And also it is heavily implied that the Blades of Chaos are almost as powerful, if not equal to Mjolnir.
The game, the novelization, the lost pages of norse mithology hammer it home that Kratos' Leviathan Axe was made by the same guys who made Mjolnir, specifically to get the power gap between the giants and the gods back in balance wich is another way of saying that Leviathan has the same destructive power as Mjolnir.
@@theonewhoismany8072 as much as i like the axe i really hope in the fight against thor the blades would be more suited.the greatest murder weapon of greece against the greatest murder weapon of scandinavia.and of course the two greatest cold blooded serial killers going at their throats.
@@sourcookie3113 Plus it seems Kratos can't use the full power of the axe most likely because it wasn't made for him. It was made to be used by a giant so in the hands of Faye it was equal to Mjolnir. This is also supported by the fact that Atreus who is half giant slaughtered a whole bunch of dark elves with it off screen
I really did prefer atreus before he knew he was a god
Grammar...watch it.
I'm pretty sure the majority of people, especially kids, who figure out they're a god would all have a drastic ego boost, instead of being humble about it like Kratos.
I liked him more after his outburst ended in Hel.
atreus got better after escaping helheim
Junxiang Yang Wukong is like Kratos tbh, hate gods and literally erased himself from the death books. Wukong and Kratos vs all else would be lit.
I think the next game will start with an epic fight between Kratos and Thor. Only for Kratos to lose and Arteus to be taken by Thor. Spurring Kratos on a rampage to retrieve BOY.
That's what I'm thinking too
Kidnapping Atreus is only making it worse for them, Kratos will literally show his true power and slay all of asgard then whatever comes in his way
@@e3ng682 So true, but I really hope that happens so we get to see full power Kratos again.
@@e3ng682 Forget sutr. Kratos would turn the world tree into a bonfire in his rage.
7:58 I like how they foreshadow the Axe equipped by Kratos and the Mjolnir equipped by thor, both made the the dwarf. I like to see in ragnarok how these two legendary weapons clash.
How was it? Frozen lightning ⚡️
It's a hammer made by brok and sindri for thor, to boost their reputation. Then he(thor)used it to massacre the giants on midgard which horrified the brothers and caused them to split up. Their last work together(leviathan axe) was to atone for their mistake of making mjolnir.
Alright, one question: if Kratos and Atreus/Loki are such nuisances, and they killed BOTH of Thor's sons, why does the (2nd) biggest jerk in the nine realms wait to appear only in a secret ending?
That seems like it would be an EPIC boss battle.
I know it was a dream/possible allusion to the next game, but still; it would have been nice for us to actually take him on in this game, given all the terrible crap he did to everyone.
squeal bait
Apparently he is so much of a jerkwad that the death of his kin means nothing to him, but after hearing stories throughout the game about how much of an unapologetic, drunken, genocidal prick he is I am actually not that surprised by his lack of concern for his family.
Jeremy Woodruff I hope Kratos rips Thor's guts out because honestly, how they potrayed Thor and Odin in this game, how can you NOT hate them?......
I completely agree; they are completely irredeemable, and if they kill Kratos... Atreus better unleash Ragnorok on these pricks!
Haha I love how in the beginning you turned so brok could see Mimir
😂😂😂
Do you remember the anticipation of GOW3 knowing his going to face Zeus, along with the Olympians .. after that ending in Gow2 atop the tittan!! Epic
And then true boss ended up being a disappointment
"My name is Thor Odinson, you killed my brother. Prepare to die"
Kratos :lmao
And my sons
The bride reference haha
Kratos: no u
Kratos will wield the hammer. I'm calling it now
Senpai Thomas Kratos? Not Atreus?
Numba XV Yes. Loki is afterall...a BOI!
Is he worthy?.
darklightning73 dude get the marvel stuff out of here
Shwokes Envy 👏👏🙌🙌
I would have liked to see those guys work with Hephaetus sadly he dead
I bet they're gonna make a better Pandora together
@@longps9528 I don't think they can rival Hephaestus when it comes to crafting, but hey ho.
When I saw Thor all I could think in my mind was “Oh I’m gonna take that hammer”
Lol. I thought "I'm bout to kill you with your own hammer." And push Boi aside and take care of this shit myself.
“Quiet, no more of this” I love how irritated Kratos got
8:09 Now THAT'S what a godly weapon should look like! I hate it when people act like Mjolnir's just a really strong hammer because they watched Thor and don't realize how ridiculous it really is, to say nothing of how... BLAND Marvel's design for it is. It shouldn't look like some random stonecutter's mallet, it should be a thing of beauty!
Da Shieldmasta Exactly! Marvel's version of it is a abomination to the legendary Mjolnir......
Oh my god! You say my very thought sir!! For that I thank you
I love the fact that in this game mjolnir looks so damn good and so beautiful! Yet looks so powerful, not like in the MCU which looks so lame and weak :(
They ruin the beauty and the power of the mighty mjolnir..
Happy Hardiansyah Why did I read that in Mirmir's voice lmao
Da Shieldmasta Honestly now that I get a better look at this Mjolnir it DOES look better then the MCU version. The shape of it expresses a bygone era of a hammer. The runes along the sides of the hammer looks ancient and the rimes of the hammer appears to have scratches that emphasizes that weapon has SEEN battle. I have to agree with you when I say: this Mjolnir does legends justice.
If I recall, the hammer is actually a mistake in design. One story had two goblins/dwarves (I can't remember which) forging it to make it your standard run of the mill battle hammer. While forging it though for Thor, Loki decided to mess with its creation and turned into a fly and annoyed the smiths so much that they accidentally forged it where it ended up being small. Never liked comics, preferred books.
Nice to see Thor was generous enough to hand deliver Kratos his new hammer
Loki bit off Brokkr's eyelid off while he was bellowing for Mjolnir. That's why he isn't the one bellowing around Loki 5:35
Y tho
Technically he transformed into an insect and stung him in the eyelid. As for why he did it: Loki had bet his head that Brokkr and Sindri couldn't make masterpieces to rival Ivaldi's son's creations of Gungir, Skíðblaðni, and Sif's new head of hair (that Loki had originally cut off for shits and giggles which pissed Thor off, prompting Loki to go to the dwarves to have a new head of hair forged so that Thor wouldn't kill him.) Anything story with Loki in it reaches Greek levels of weird in an otherwise very serious and reasonable mythology, such as Loki being the MOTHER of sleipner and tying his nuts to a goats beard to make a Jotunar laugh to avoid being executed.
Bananas Alfredo
“Greek levels of weird,
Shapeshifting to perform all sorts of nasty acts”
Yep, that’s Zeus’s grandson alright
Abdega It really runs in the family besides of Kratos, he got all the father killing traits instead.
I love how the game sets so much up for the future. Other regional gods, fight with Thor and friggin time travel. Can’t wait.
The axe and the hammer are considered equals (at least by the drawf)
I expect kratos will lose his axe next game... and/or thor will lose the hammer only later on to come back with something way more powerful
Not to mention there is no axe in the last picture at the end of the game.
Kratos grabs the axe off his wall before confronting Thor.
@@AtheistGamerz I think he meant the paintings in the ending of the game, which shown Kratos dead.
“Last time I saw one, I could still get ridgid down south” 😂
If you look closely Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, has the same markings as the Leviathan Axe, Kratos's axe.
Cameron Sivret which i believe Kratos will have it in the next games, because it can be upgraded, like the Axe
remember, Brok and Sindri crafted both weapons, it would make sense they'd have similar markings
Cameron Sivret those are runes, the ones on kratos's axe are probably ice runes and mjolnir has thunder/lightning runes on it
Diego Tapia dont forget the Blades of Chaos and their recent upgrade with fire runes
seriuskndfgs egg it’s because brokk and sindri are the ones who made both the hammer and axe. And guessing that they are upgrading his blades maybe the marking hold some runic power or just for show since it’s a game . Didn’t y’all read the guys comment just before yours ?
They really made thor look like a nightmare
Mimir was my favorite new character in the series. He's really a breath of fresh air compared to the previous installments, which were so dark and heavy.
Kratos sees Thor cover in lightning
Kratos: this is not my first time and it won’t be the last
Thor threatens Krotos with Mjolnir
Kratos "hmm, another weapon, where to mount it on my wall?..."
The effect of Norse Mythology in Pop culture is fascinating. In the Marvel Comics, Thor is very much a hero and is righteous in his intentions. In God of War he's a bloodthirsty monster who does his father's bidding on a whim.
While in the actual mythology, Thor is neither good or evil. He simply is. Thor in the Edda (the oldest record of Norse Mythology) is an antihero of sorts. He did both good things and bad things because he could.
The look on Atreus' face when Brok and Sindri make up to work together was the same as mine, made me smile fr XD
Google says: Kratos (mythology) Kratos or Cratos is the divine personification of strength in Greek mythology. He is the son of Pallas and Styx; he and his siblings Nike ("Victory"), Bia ("Force"), and Zelus ("Zeal") are all essentially personifications. Kratos is first mentioned alongside his siblings in Hesiod's.
So he is basically your god
Years Later and Atreus is still a child.
Though I know that's just a placeholder. I mean, bit of a waste of resources making a whole new model just for the one short scene.
Classy Villain Gaming Fimbulwinter is only about 3 years before Ragnarok.
More of a vision than a dream.
Well it's said over the game that dreams can be the manifestation of the future (not always true tho) , but you can't deny that the giant part inside him can't see the future (they even show it at the end of the game when they're in Jotunheim)
lar ljd it's not a dream its more of a vision of the future , he is part god part giant remember and giants can predict thing before they happen just like his mother
It was only Atreus' vision.. No need to make an older model of it
I wish thor would reveal who kratos really is... Cuz i want the old raged, brutal, and madness of kratos
Not in front of Atreus
@@simonswanepoel2050 Well a comment thinks they will Atreus will get kidnapped and then Kratos becomes his past self
How unlucky Thor is, fighting face to face with The Ghost of Sparta, the very Demi-god that destroyed the Greek pantheon single handedly. I guess its his karma for all those Midgard Giants he slaughtered and for Faye as well. He may not fought Laufey the Just but Kratos is a much better alternative.
This would be an epic fight. Remember, brok and sindri said that they made the axe to balance the power. It might mean that it is equally as strong as the mjolnir. A clash between those two weapon will be so damn epic!
Anyone else thinks Gerard Butler will be a perfect voice actor for Thor in the next game?
I don't think anyone would complain
RIP Etika rip etika :(
Imagine if it's chris Hemsworth lol (okay before you bash me for bringing Marvel) I would like Chris Hemsworth to sound more Norse like and fierce. It would draw more people in tbh.
Nope! More like Willem Dafoe or Hugh Laurie ...
The character model for thor doesn't look liike a good fit for Hemsworth imo. Nor gerard butler tbh.
Oh man, a prime Kratos in this world, that would be a sight.
His current form would be considered his prime
This is his prime. He's holding back to maintain restraint (something he didn't know in his younger years) and to help Atreus learn.
@అస్పష్టత బ్రూ He's a god. Specifically, he's a GREEK god. That's important, as the Greeks considered their gods to be truly eternal, unlike the Norse where their gods could grow old. Kratos doesn't age.
And that's all game mechanics, not story or lore. There's always seperation between the two. For example in Skyrim, Dragonborns much weaker then The Last Dragonborn (The one you play as) can Shout down city walls, but all the player can do is send a guy flying with it.
GOW 4 kratos is definitely weaker than GOW 3 kratos. For one, Kratos struggled to overpower Baldur and move a 1 million ton bridge.
In GOW 3, Kratos overpowered Hercules (who was considered physically the strongest god), overpowered Cronos and Atlas (who held a massive temple and the world, respectively), as well as Zeus himself (who was stated to be able to overpower almost anything in creation). Not to mention he stopped his soul from being ripped out of his body by Hades, who could steal Atlas' soul.
I respect Cory Barlog. I really do. But his statement saying that GOW 4 Kratos is stronger than GOW 3 Kratos is false.
Even Kratos at the start of GOW 4 said something along the lines of "my strength is fading".
And even after the GOW 4 journey, Kratos is exhausted, and goes to sleep when you go back to his house. After the WHOLE GOW 3 journey, with slaying gods and getting hit left, right, and centre, Kratos still walks, killing gods and even impaling himself at the end with the Blade of Olympus.
GOW 3 Kratos is so much stronger than GOW 4 Kratos it isn't even funny. If you say otherwise, you literally disregard everything lore-wise. And GOW 3 Kratos is cooler (obviously), who doesn't love a rampant monster ripping beings in shreds?
Feel free to disagree, as I would love to see who thinks otherwise. 😂😂
7:50 I always thought it was kinda hilarious that in the first 3 God of Wars Kratos was always screaming his opponents name before that fought, but now he literally didn’t know who’s trying to killed now’a’days
The way sindri just returns to brok when you need the key made. I think maybe hes got an idea to undo the hammer.
In the new God of War, Thor teams up with Kratos...... No, wait this is Kratos, just having his son tag along is a bit much already. Next GOW Kratos kills the rest of the Gods and takes Thor's Hammer. Or if anyone hears any updates please let me know
Nah, I think it will be another of kratos kill a pantheon
God of war vs god of thunder can't wait to see it go down
.. The dwarven brothers working in such a relationship warms my heart.
2:45 to 2:48 he’s got a point but kratos isn’t such a bad father
Boy!
Compared to typical Spartan parents, Kratos is rather lenient.
BOY
Just sayin', Kratos has killed one out of his two kids so far. The surviving kid he isn't the best father to (although he is still trying to teach him what he will need to know, credit where credit is due).
That's because he isn't a bad father really, we see him treat Calliope very well, and even see him making the flute for her that she has in Chains of Olympus, and he is pretty good to Atreus, yeah he's a bit of a dick to him sometimes, ok, a lot of times, but that's because A. he's a Spartan and teaches harshly, and B. it's hard for him to be around another child without being worried he'd hurt him or worse, so he sort of pushes him away, but it's very clear he loves Atreus, I mean he retrieved his spoiler, Blades just to save him, the very things that killed his former family, and many innocents, he's just a tough dad, that's all.
New god of war series - 1st intro , 2nd thor and 3rd Odin then jump to another mythology
Going by the stories Mimir told about Thor and Odin throughout the game. I'd say that not only is Thor the most powerful of the Aesir but also the most evil. Kratos is about to get a bigger fight than any he ever had in Greece.
Thor may be the most powerful of the Aesir possibly, but Odin is far more intelligent and dangerous than Thor is. Starkaor was an opponent Thor himself wouldn't face as said by Mimir, "Even Thor isn't stupid enough to face him alone."
@@Vanerov In pure martial prowess thor would be the strongest. But odin will be the more difficult fight since he is crafty and a master of magic.
@@finnheisenheim8274 Odin is more powerful, but not as strong as Thor, although this isn't confirmed in God of War, it's just speculation atm, I've read that Zeus and Odin are at the same power level from someone involved with these games, whether that's true or false Idk.
My prediction is that during a battle between Kratos and Thor, Thor will place his hammer on Kratos’ chest while he is pinned on the floor, preventing him from moving and then going after the boy, causing Kratos to use his rage in a way we’ve never seen before and pick up Thor’s hammer and massacre him, giving the player full control of being an enraged Kratos with the supered up powers of Mjolnir. I’m expecting lighting to be everywhere and oblitering the landscape as this plays out. If this is correct them holy shit it will be one of the coolest moments in video game history.
No worthiness spell in the actual Norse mythology u clown, this hammer is really heavy and Thor requires a belt to use it to amplify his strength
@@thealien_ali3382 this guy thinks he's thor from marvel.
Kratos & Levaithan axe vs Thor & mjolnir cant wait for the sequel!!!
I'm more excited for the Blades of Chaos vs mjolnir. I'm actually worried The Leviathan might actually break if hit against mjolnir but would be an emotional trigger since it's Fayes own Axe and plus Brok even compared the blades to mjolnir and said they were something special.
@@OneKind671 Lmao it won't. Both the axe and the hammer were made by the dwarves and the axe was made to counter the hammer and get the power gap between the giants and gods back into equilibrium wich is another way of saying that Leviathan and Mjolnir are equals. Still don't believe me?

"kid, i like you. But ya dont begin t'appreciate the complexities what develop between family."
after beating the game did anyone think about how much of norse mythology they researched in order to make this game and how true it is like damn
Best part was the big grin on Atreus' face watching Brok and Sindri make up.
I seriously cannot wait to see and play this battle. My prediction, this will be the toughest battle ever for both of them.
Kratos we need your help, thanos is coming
Kratos:... Who?
(°Avengers music playing)
I feel like God of War: Ragnarok is gonna instantly start with an epic boss fight
Didn't know Steve Rogers went back in time to face Kratos
Shut the fuk up
@@tgn3120 lets hope we see stormbreaker next game and maybe some Thanos
@@tgn3120 bitch
Whatever it takes.
@@aakashraj308 Whatever it takes
"Are you a calm and reasonable person?"
-Thor ask calmly
"only when I'm not raging and walking down a path of violent vengeance, which is all that I seem to be good at doing since forever" Kratos replied
Thor must have pissed his pants then fully charged his hammer when he knew what he is about to confront killed zeus...
Man, Mimir's stories are a goddamn highlight in this game
In the next game we need a flashback of kratos finally reaching norse mythology and meeting faye
6:50 saying hello to someone today
8:04 "It's a me *MARIO* "
“He knows why” “He knows why”
“I know why?” “I know why?”
“YOU know why!” “YOU know why!”
I know that the game changes certain aspects of mythology to tell a story, but I think it's pretty cool all the research they put in this game.
Gosh that ending won't get old
cant wait to atreus to scream: THOOOOOORRR!!!/ODIIIIINNNNNN!!!, like a mad boy
Given the emphasis of the weapons between the likes of Kratos and Thor, I am expecting that at least one of these special weapons is going to get destroyed by the other. I would flip over the moon if by the end of the second game, after killing Thor, you get to keep Mjolnir for yourself. Just like how in God of War 2 you get to use the Blade of Olympus after you beat the game.
I think if Steve Rogers knew how many innocent lives were lost to that hammer, he would lose all desire of wielding it.
There different universe's
2:35 love all this line
so basically the next GOW will focus on Asgard, fighting Thor and possibly Odin, or will he fight frost giants??? I bet Thor doesn't die either...... but then again we are talking Kratos.... 🤔
Mario Edwards the Jötnar are dead my man. Don’t let marvel confuse you
Esteban Velazquez I know there dead but I'm saying based on enemy for Kratos to fight or basically gameplay, but I know based on the last preview you most definitely will have an encounter or multiple with Thor
I feel like Thor kills Kratos
"Leviathan vs Mjolnir" I'm waitin for that shit. I'm so excited already🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤. Waitin to see Thor's face get smashed in with his own hammer.
The death of Baldyr causes Fimbulwinter to start which lasts 3 years and is ended by Ragnarok in which Loki leads the fire giants, Fenrir, and Jormungander against Odin and Thor.
Tbh if Thor will kill Loki I wouldn't be surprised if Kratoa will go full Sparta on his ass and on the way all of the Norse gods.
So the original enchantment on Thor's according to Norse Mythology, was that the hammer will always return to Thor's hand. And knowing Kratos, he might see if taking his hands will allow him to use the weapon. Like the wings of Icarus or the head of Helios
Small nit pick I have with this game is when you talk to brok or sindri kratos' axe come out since you're pressing triangle
I hope when kratos finishes thor it would be the same on how he kills zeus but more brutal like he did on poseidon.
Mimir & Brok: I know why? You know why!
😂😂😂
I love this game so much
Kratos: Whooooo aaaaaaare youuuuu
Thor : God of hammers !
Kratos has a chance to defeat Thor,i mean he defeated Thor son (Magni) who believe to be the God of Strength and he's physically stronger than Thor
being physically stronger is no guarantee of victory, Hercules was stronger than Kratos and Kratos won with his superior skill.
No, Kratos physically stronger than Hercules and it's already proven from GOW3 when they fight each other
@@jontuxen2724 Kratos was unable to match Hercules physically until he started boasting to Hera and Kratos got his hands on the gauntlets, only then did the gap in physical strength close.
Dwarfs in the modern era.... Mmm i would imagine the upgrades
In the words of a young, talented Jedi Knight:
*This is where the fun begins*
Will be interesting to see if Tyr holds a grudge against Thor. He sounds like the kind of guy that would still hug his little brother despite all he's done.
Kratos vs a lightning/thunder god? Ive seen that somewhere before.
How about Blade of Chaos
That's a true beast
2:34 BRUTAL
Brothers: We're having a moment yaay
Atreus: I knew y'all loved each other..
Kratos: FOH leggo!
