Plus him being a Spartan, red suits him much better given the fact its a color associated with the culture
I was thinking the same thing and doesn't blue Associate with Athens Because that's their color
@sd dragons As someone whose traveled to Athens....Yeah kind of
Exactly what I was thinking the blue made him look Athenian
@@Arkhuman11 he means more ancient Athenians, whose colours were blue
@@lucask841 I know I learned that while there
He looks like a calm and reasonable person
If the moment calls for calm
@@ajlemuel969I’d say the moment calls for calm, yeah?
Is he a calm and reasonable person?
The reason behind blue is probably bc tattoos ink as far as ik only came in blue in history
Kratos : i'm always calm
Atreus : ha..! That's a good one.
😂😂
The red definitely makes Kratos iconic
If it was blue, it'd have been iconic too.
Cuz it'd be classic and iconic design.
@@abhrajitpaul6057exactly
Red was the spartans color
@@Jjdhjsjshshs I know that.
But still if it was blue, they would have found a way to show that how the blood turned blue.
Man, let's not talk about what not happened anymore and enjoy what we have.
Probability only look good in Math books
@@Jjdhjsjshshsthe red is not the blood of his family dude
I get why they tried to go with blue first it kinda fits the whole "ghost of Sparta" thing. If they had used a lighter grey-blue it might've worked but the red markings are definitely better given his spartan background and association with blood and violence
His skin being ash white is good enough
Kratos:The last Airbender.
If i remember correctly, blue was about playstation branding.
@@maineman5757 No it ruins it because the marks don't stand out much
Kratos is such a turn on for me. He's not especially handsome but he's very manly and strong, he can make my legs wet anytime
Diablo did something great without even realising
@user-dw7vo7yk1fstfu
I dont think Diablo had anything to do with it. If you watch the making of documentary of God of War 1, David Jaffe says he wanted the blue tattoos originally because he though red was too cliché but something in his gut just told him to switch to red.
@@deafbyhiphop well obviously he won’t admit he stole it off of someone else but Diablo 2 was released in 2000 and the first god of war was in 2005 and the mark looks very close
@@JinnHysteria well apparently Jaffe didnt know about the barbarian character from diablo and they found out kratos looked very similar to the barbarian a day before they showed their concept to the press, and they ended up changing the tattoos to red at the last minute. Jaffe didnt design Kratos btw it was by the studio artists at Santa Monica, Charlie Wen and i dont think he ripped off Diablo. You can watch the whole making of God of War series by yourself and see all the concept art they went through before stopping at the Kratos we know now
@@deafbyhiphop I don’t see it as ripping Diablo off I see it off as taking the same idea and I love both games and stuff but it seems to perfect they both look alike with the tattoo and who ever designed it may have had a idea in there head from Diablo or from someone with Diablo in there head but there is no telling if they did or did not because there not gonna come out and say they did that because it may or may not give them a bad look
I think red also fits better because Blue normally represents Athens and Red represents Sparta most commonly
Speaking of Greek polis, it's also oftenly associated with Corinth, Megaris, Rhodes, etc.
No Spartan used grey or black colors with their cloaks or insigna.. they were a lot austheric people and famous for not being Fashionable people ..
@@aleger620they said represents they didn’t they say they wore
@@aleger620 still no blue and red had its contribution to Spartan
@@hareendrangangadharan6974 okay but 5th century military historian Xenophon wrote in Constitution of the Lacedaemonians that Spartan warriors were given a brass shield and (specifically) a red cloak
I can just imagine the devs sitting back with their finished game and some worker bursting through the doors covered in sweat being like “GUYS HOW THE FUCK DID WE NOT SEE THIS” 😂
Lmfao
Underrated comment lol
Your comment should have way more likes than this. Just saying.
😭😭
Because David was too busy getting his basic bitch ass stuck in Metroid dread.😅
Because it actually happened that way goofy. I was there
bro is still honouring him
That does make wonder how the paint hasn’t faded yet, I’d just like to think of Atreus walking into the cabin and he just sees kratos painting himself
@@zanderrushford1207 it’s a tattoo
@@maliquecase9623 oh that makes more sence
Honoring*
@@averyk390 Honouring is also correct, it’s the British English spelling.
thumbnail just looks like if kratos and arthur morgan had a baby
my exact thought
blue makes kratos looks like he would be a calm and safe person to be around
From what I remember, most of Kratos' designs were literally on the fly. The artist said he doodled Kratos on a napkin during his lunch break, and cory barlog walked by and said he loved it.
I heard that the whole game was improv aswell
Crazy how they made such a legacy based on just a doodle
That's crazy
@Andre I heard they didn't even mean to make it. Some guy was in a boring work meeting and mindlessly doodled kratos on a napkin and like 3 weeks later the game was made nit was all an accident
what's "on the fly" mean, and how can one "literally" do it?
you can't take an expression and just plop "literally" in front of it. That's not how expressions work.
Imagine Atreus having blue the complete opposite of his father as how he and kratos are quite different in personality. Kratos always closes his heart to it but boi is told to open his heart to it because that's who he is. He feels for those like him. Because Kratos was never raised like that so it makes sense. Also his runic attacks and some other attacks shows blue and his feel for others to help reminds me of what he inherited from faye but when the things he inherited from his father it shows red so it truly shows that he learnt from both sides.
Ayo 5k likes? Thankss!
It would definitely fit his Norse background, especially since many characters in the Norse realm possesses blue tattoos.
Well Atreus already has blue runic tattoos and black too. They actually glow blue from what I remember time to time depending on what power he's using
but loki is gonma become a villain somehow
Nah green because of Loki idk why
If you look really closely at Atreus's model in the game, you can see he has a birthmark shaped like the tattoo. Same recessive gene his uncle got, just less pronounced.
If you play god of war 1 there’s a hidden level where you get to see all the older/original kratos designs that didn’t make the final cut, it’s really cool
Yeah the one eyed monsters 😂😂
That was one of my favorite features. It was like watching a DVD behind the scenes extra
Yes I remember
"Poor Cyclops"
What level is it I just bought all them again for ps4
The barbarian looks like Arthur Morgan dressing as Kratos lol
Glad they changed it from blue to red💯
Kratos having blue marks instead of red would be like the “bloods” wearing all blue.
If Kratos was from Athens instead of Sparta, then I could see him sporting blue tattoos.
There's a museum in the first game you access from the menu. It has a bunch of cool stuff like this that you can look at. Originally Kratos was skinnier and had dreadlocks. He was also supposed to have a baby or a small child with him, but they couldn't figure out how to make it work without being annoying. Kind of poetic that Kratos did eventually have his "bring your kid to work" adventure.
And now new fans cannot even talk about GOW or Kratos without saying "boi" or banging on about Atreus
@@LusciousTwinklewhy are u so mad?
@@DerexWolfheart Because a once great game series for adults has been ruined by a bunch of kids who think they are funny and know everything.
@@LusciousTwinkleYeah cus the new games totally aren't for adults at all whatsoever. It's the toddlers that are supposed to be comboing runic attacks to decapitate your enemies or cave their skulls in.
@@SuperMegaGaelourde ragnoroks story plays like a B-plot marvel rip off
That and he was rocking Athenian colors while being spartan I hope they thought of that too.
Imagine in Ragnarok, he shows up in Blue marks so the original color was honored and then when he got back and retrieved the blades, and tries it for the first time, the blue paint burns off and shows the Red marks ☠️☠️☠️
The other Kratos concepts. The "Forgotten Warrior" costume from God of War 3 is based on old concept art where Kratos had dreads. I thought that one was pretty cool.
He wasnt very angery in the last two, he was teaching his son to do better
The only time he got that angry is when they said something about his son lol basically he's holding back til his son gets mentioned
He’s angry when the moment calls for it, I’d say he doesn’t “show his anger” instead he just uses it like a weapon, just like he told atreus “anger can be a weapon, if you can control it, you clearly cannot”
@@arjunsriram3878Spartan Rage demonstrates that very well, and he probably doesn't want Atreus making the same mistake he did, being blinded by rage and murdering your loved ones.
Yes and that's trash, If I play Kratos I want him To be an angry Monster, not just a babysitter.
@@opfer88play gow 1-3 then, why complain about something you won’t play?
Before this video goes viral, ima tell y'all have a nice day.
Thank you! You have a lovely day/night as well, my friend
Lol people actually think this guy is the real Xavier
Thanks man I needed that
Thanks you too
Don't tell me what to do
Red can also mean love, like his previous and new family.
And passion for both love and war ironically
Makes sense too since they are a tribute to his presumably dead brother
He looks legendary with red mark
To be fair, the Spartans signature colour was red and gold-ish yellow, it would make sense if he had red markings in the first place either way
Heh. He has a Red Skirt with some Gold-ish Yellow sign on it.
@user-dw7vo7yk1f go look at the first 3 games and say that again
When you said real in the title, I genuinely thought you were gonna talk about the actual Kratos from Greek mythology. But it’s still interesting to hear.
Crateus?
Kratos does not exist in Greek mythology
@@Th3_ArCh0n kratos is not an actual person in Greek mythology, however the people he is based upon do such as hercules, achilles, the the god named Crateus who kratos's name is based upon too
@@MrLoverman7134 he does exist
@@eviljonkler06 proof?
Which red also is the color of Spartan clothing they wore in battle as well to hide any bleeding wound and to scare the rival. For me, I think his red tattoo also marks him as a Spartan much better.
Let’s be fucking honest you can tell the difference between a wound and some red powder the red marks were ACTUALLY used to mark their own
@@GhostOfarenaBruh it was used to mark there own but they chose the color red for that reason they had massive intimidation they'd use. Blood getting stained on red clothing isnt going to show so you don't know you opponent is weaker than he should be
Not to mention the if they stuck with blue it wouldn’t make sense since blue is more associated with Athens
@@kyloxbren more what I was thinking
@@legacydragon1719 glad we agree then 👍
I'm pretty certain its Arthur Morgan wrongly cosplaying as Kratos in the thumbnail
People have already said it but it also wouldn't make much sense for a Spartan to have blue marks on him.
Red is better, it also fits the whole "Spartan" concept, due to the specific color being used by Spartans in their attires in order to confuse their enemies during battles. The color basically functioned as a cover for their own blood in case they were wounded in battle. Also, the part of his mark near his left eye, looks like an inverted Lamda letter - Λ - which was popular to Spartans for it symbolized the broader area where Sparta is, Λακεδαιμονία (i.e. Lakedaimonia in greek).
@user-dw7vo7yk1flil bro hes talking about the historu of spartans in real life not in the game 💀
@user-dw7vo7yk1fNone of it is wrong either, he’s just saying why it fits better. I guess reading is hard for you basketball folk 😂
@@rizzzzzza4643"basketball folk" is that what we call them these days lmfaooo 💀
Haha this has to be one of the funniest comment threads I've ever seen. It's like nerds arguing against thugs 😅 "Basketball folk" 🤣 Bruuuuuh...😂🤣

"If you want to create a character that is constantly violent and angry, red is the best color to go with"

Tbf as a kid i thought red hulk was the angriest hulk simply because he was red
It ain't easy being green 😂
@@kvngjaygamez2570he is I’m pretty sure lmao
Ngl first time I saw Kratos when I was young I thought he looked like an angry bald David bowie 😆
Yes.
Perfect description
In Greek mythology, Kratos, also known as Cratus or Cratos,[a] is the divine personification of strength. He is the son of Pallas and Styx. Kratos and his siblings Nike ('Victory'), Bia ('Force'), and Zelus ('Glory') are all the personification of a specific trait.[5] Kratos is first mentioned alongside his siblings in Hesiod's Theogony. According to Hesiod, Kratos and his siblings dwell with Zeus because their mother Styx came to him first to request a position in his regime, so he honored her and her children with exalted positions. Kratos and his sister Bia are best known for their appearance in the opening scene of Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound. Acting as agents of Zeus, they lead the captive Titan Prometheus on stage. Kratos compels the mild-mannered blacksmith god Hephaestus to chain Prometheus to a rock as punishment for his theft of fire.[6]
Red, rage, fire, anger. Blue, calming summer breeze.
They made the right call.
The marks were originally supposed to extend to the middle of his forehead in the form of an arrow aswell, and it was going to glow when he was in spartan rage mode. I don't know why they cut that out
Yeah man he supposed to be the last air bender
That kinda sounds like the Avatar Aang
@@lukeskywalker4862 oh wow you managed to get the joke, well done
@@Thabzzz i am your me amyou are the no to me and you and te
Did I just have a stroke?
GSP Kratos can't hurt you, he's not real
GSP Kratos:
An Idea I thought of when I completed GOW3, was when Kratos was in Zeus’ fear realm, he found hope torches similar to the labyrinth, And at the end of it, his tattoos got blue. I felt like they should’ve added a stand of blue on his face tattoos in remembrance of Pandora’s hope.
I feel like they shouldn't have fucked the franchise and murdered Kratos' entire character with the 2 latest games.
@@TCELL24 how did they murder his character? I think he is evolving as a person not just a rage filled man on a path to vengeance. He killed everyone he wanted revenge on why would he be the same many years later with the next love of his life and son?
@@Bi-HanTheTyrant His character arc makes no sense. He's far too neutered considering where he came from and what he's done. It's a shame really because old Kratos was a much more fun character to play than this dumb B-movie tier Oscar bait. The combat itself is gimped to hell due to bad camera placement and restricted movement. It's like they stripped out all the fun and put in every generic 3rd person trope they could think of.
So what your saying is that kratos cant grow into a person tries to be calm? Plus the past games were older than god of war 2018 and god of war ragnarok obviously it is gonna have a little weird gameplay.
@@TCELL24 maybe you'll get the new Kratos once you grow up.
Bro switched teams last minute
Right Red matches all tha Blood that he gets over him after every Battle he gets into
Dante from dmc 5 definitely is the chillest dude with a strawberry sundae
Kratos has grown so much in these last 2 games from his one dimensional character. Now that he mellowed, he's one the most beloved characters in video game history
He's not a one dimensional character at all, you either didn't play the og trilogy or didn't understand his character and story
Tell me you didn't play the original games without telling😂.
Stop talking about what you don't know clown 🤡
@@EKPBI like the old kratos more than the new one
Whatever, he was a good character all along.
No color could make Kratos look less threatening 😂 his face is one of the most threatening things with or without the tattoos and regardless of the color
Red goes with his personality and his culture the blue looks like it would match for representing ice or snow for the leviathan axe
If Kratos was Arthur Morgan: Diablo's 2 barbarian
Exactly
Whooooa, another color? It's like a completely different character entirely!
Kratos uses the blue marks in mortal kombat 9 , if you select 2 kratoses to fight each other, the second player will have the blue marks.
YEAH TOP TEN COMMENTS! Ty Xavier and also Kratos has had such a grave past that I think the red tattoos fit him. I also think it's cool how his ash is slowly fading.
I mean blue could also represent his sadness amd deppression. Though red does look better
Color tells stories and displays emotions, I agree with this video 100%
I love that he still honours deimos to this day. They should have a scene in the games where kratos is re applying the red markings while his brothers voice echoes in his head
Now I'm wanting a loot based multiplayer GoW game, where Kratos takes on the Prime Evils in the Campaign mode.
Ty u Xavier and his mythology actually Kratos couldn't be more distant to Kratos in the game also how strong was Hephaestus in physical strength
Dont click at my profile 😊
Even though this comment doesn't make sense, it's got 16 likes. With that being said, I'll go ahead and keep this going with a like. Let's get to one thousand ayyyeee!
@@GeorgiaVikingI guess he meant the Greek kratos was nothing close to the god of war kratos but is also asking how strong Hephaestus was?
@arjunsriram3878 After further review I think it's regarding the Kratos from actual Greek myth whom is the personification of strength and comparing that to Kratos of the God of War games, and then switching it up to inquiring about Hephaistos. So yeah, you were pretty spot on bro. Lol
Well.. After a while of thinking, blue markings would been great to reference his cold hearthed thought's but red aint bad either, reference's his anger and thirst for blood
Kratos is supposed to be named as Dominos. David Jaffe said that during his interview with Kaptain Kuba.
I love the red so much more than the blue but if I had to just know the blue I’d take it cuz Kratos is fkn awesome
I think the blue marks would look good in ragnarok
the game wouldve hit so different if his tattoos were blue
Nah it will be blue dose not have power and chrisma
Reds much better
@@3half6 well obviously
The blue looks cool but yeah, the blood red makes it a lot different and better
I personally say if they made him have blue it would be cool because then the flames on his blade of chaos would match him better with blue flames which is just sick
A primordial fire which is the blades of chaos is better with Normal flames
i think it wouldve been a neat idea to have a scene in gow 4 where kratos changes his colours to blue as a symbolic gesture. and it would help fit the norse theme
after Valhalla he definitely should switch it to blue
The blue made him looks like “God of the last airbend War”
Bro would've been the new Avatar
kratos legit just went from athenian to spartan
I already checked the Character Graveyard in God of War 1 so I already know he was supposed to have blue tattoos but David couldn't live with it so he got it changed to red.
@@Shortsguy8understood I won't.
There is an entire documentary saved in the first game explaining the whole development of Kratos. There's also an arena with statues of the first characters
Thats the equivilent of Making Thors iconic weapon a magical Screwdriver the whole time until finally coming to their senses and decided last minute to make it a Hammer
Would have been cool "Easter egg" if when he got the ice axe a special move would have his marks glow blue
Like from original Diablo 2?
Bro wanted to be a blood not a crip
The graphics were crazy at the end.
I feel like the red is more symbolic too since his character is so associated with death and family having his colour scheme include red as a nod to blood was such a good choice, spartans are also associated with blood too
I remember he had a skin in GOW3 that gave him the blue look, but that color doesn’t really make him look chaotic, and the ash white skin with blue makes him look like he came from a winter setting.
I remember reading this in the concept room in the original GOW extras.. Damn.. Where does the time go
Out of topic but I kinda wanna see Kratos enter the Islander mythology now
Red is perfect, it signals Warning/Danger which fits well
I once saw this piece of fan art where he had added a blue tattoo with the red for the leviathan axe
Blue wouldn’t take away how menacing/badass he is!
man I thought this was a video showing Dave Bautista as Kratos lol didn't realize it was the Barbarian from Diablo 2 hahaha
I used always compare the Diablo 2 barbarian to Kratos so it's very interesting how it actually influenced the look of Kratos. I never would have thought.
Bro was bout to become the god of peace
And Red Is My Lucky Colour ! And I Love It .
The thumbnail with kratos without beard is haunting. Put it back please.
Blue definitely just looks like an alternative color for a fighting game character 😂
yellow fits better because he is always pissed
".....to break a man's spirit is to truly destroy him!" - Ares ( God Of War 1 )
Blue looks so clean when he killed Zeus his red marks shoulda changed to blue saying the spartans all fell
Truthfully when i look at Kratos red... I see Santa Claus
Kratos has the most unique character design out of every game protagonist.
Ah yes, Rudolph, Elmo, Cupid, and Santa are the epitomized essence of anger and rage.
He looks like the kindest person in the room .
Blue kratos looks like a character from cold places
Blue flames rage would be sick
I do like that they include this detail in god of war ragnorok title with his strips being blue
"Oh no, our Character looks so identical to someone else. What should we do now?"
"HUE SHIFT."
Blue: Protagonist
Red: Antihero
that third blue kratos pic looks like arthur morgan when you give him a buzz cut
You can actually play as blue Kratos in God of War 3! Specifically in the remastered version, after completing the game you unlock the Morpheus Armor, which changes his tattoos to blue and his eyes black. His gauntlets also glow blue as well. Beyond being a cool costume, the morpheus armor doubles your red orbs. Before the remaster, the way you got the skin was actually by drinking 7-11 slurpees funnily enough.
Bro Hulk is angry and green fits him pretty well
Blue bro looking like he about to take on Firelord Ozai and is looking for away to not kill him
Not only that Blue is the color of the Greece/Athen army, Red is what color Rome/The Spartans used. So it wouldn’t make much sense for him to have blue marks, and Blue clothes.
If you go into god of war 1 treasures you can find the character graveyard and in it it shows the old Kratos variants that were scrapped such as “dreadlocks” and the one stated in this video
Barbarian literally looking like buff Arthur Morgan.
