I honestly don’t blame Kratos for killing his family. It’s not as though he desired to kill them. He loved them. Ares tricked him into doing it by moving them to the temple in Athens (I think) without telling him. Sure he was blinded by rage and ambition, but he also had his arm twisted by Ares as his servant. I wouldn’t put it past Ares to order him to kill his family at some point if he stopped just before killing Lysandra and Calliope at the temple.
But it's hypocritical. He killed so many wives and men, and even the children or they simply starved. Only when it affected him, he cared. It depends on the interpretation, some would say he was so blinded by his bloodlust and rage, that he didn't even recognize who he is killing right now. And if that's the case, then yes, it was also his fault.
@@DieEineMieze that's how people of every generation are. Fact of the matter is being trained to kill and a soldier will do that to people. It's not hypocritical it's actually a very human thing we've had for thousands of years since the days of empires. It's why they train soldiers even to this day to kill children in times of war.
@@Draco7876 You seem to throw some things together, like morale, ethics and psychology, which have to be discussed on their own. If you mean "humane" with "human" (human in this context can mean everything, since we have good and bad in our nature) then it's the complete opposite of what you claim. War itself is not humane (def.marked by compassion, sympathy, or consideration for humans, tenderness, compassion, and sympathy for people and animals, especially for the suffering or distressed). It means we have to potential to do it, but must people are against it. And soldiers are not trained to kill children, they are trained to kill adults, but if they have to kill a child, they will rely on their training. Besides, not a small part of soldiers would rather get shot themselves as to live with the trauma of killing a child. And to the rest, it doesn't change a single thing of what I have written. If you can't control your rage and emotions and hurt someone you love, because of it, it's your fault and nobody elses.
@@DieEineMieze Weren’t Greek heroes significantly different than modern day heroes? Life was different back then. It was more brutal and “grim” as Kratos puts it. You were sent to the mountains as a kid either to die to the wolves or come back stronger, there were ritualistic beatings. Times were different as much more brutal than they were now. We’re not meant to sympathize with this character, that’s very much established from the start. There are points where Kratos’ cruelty shows through but he also had his arm twisted by Ares before renouncing himself while under his service.
I give my thought on this, if Kratos was to venture back in time to save his family then Ares would've done another trick for Kratos to dismember his family and it would've been the same thing because of the blood oath he made with Ares..If you ask me, Kratos could've ventured to the time where Kratos and his army was fighting the Barbarians and prevent the fight.That way he wouldn't lose to the Barbarians, wouldn't pledged his soul to Ares and make the blood oath and he would've still have his family.
Yea as mentioned by other people in the community the time travel stuff in GOW 2 really messed things up, and he was also blinded by vengeance and pure rage by being wronged by the gods and then titans. Also, Kratos at least showed in GOW 3 how much he missed his daughter.
I actually have a pretty good head canon explanation as to why Kratos didn't save his family. Now mind you, this is all made up by me and not official, but I kinda like it. As he stood before the loom of fate, he contemplated the idea of using it to also bring back his family, an idea quickly torn down by Gaia, as he asked if it was possible out loud to himself. Gaia said that he could bring back his wife and child to the present, but their souls, who now enjoys paradise in Elysium, would then also be pulled out from that realm, and souls that are brought back from the dead in any way will be forever denied an afterlife again. So in other words: he could bring them back and let them live and die of old age, but when they do, their souls would be lost, never to return to Elysium, or worse, be brought to Tartarus or some other realm of torment. "They're better off where they are, Kratos." Gaia said. Besides, Kratos has already waged war with the gods. Sparta is destroyed. He would've brought his family back into a world of doom and destruction. I like this theory, because it is similar to what Sindri did with Brok in Ragnarok when he brought Brok back from the dead. His soul lost its direction, and was truly lost forever. Kratos would not wish that fate upon his family.
i do have to disagree with kratos not blaming himself he has been shown to be aware of what he is doing is wrong like when he told pandora they are reasons people fear him or during some random moment where u see kratos pause after a civilian runs away from him due to his reputation he wants the visions of his family to go away because he knows nothing will bring them back and he hates himself just as much as ares for what happened. the gods have also been giving kratos plenty of reasons to continue killing the only 3 he originally wanted to target which were area thanatos and zeus due to them betraying and killing ether kratos himself or one of his family members ended up turning into a whole pantheon when they decided to keep getting in his way and pissing him off when he literally has nothing left to live for but revenge against zeus and after he got his revenge he tried killing himself and gave the power of hope to mankind speaking of zeus he was the reason kratos lost his mother and brother in the 1st place as he was the one who was consumed with fear which resulted in him ordering ares to take kratos brother and zeus also placed a curse on kratos mother where if she revealed to kratos who his father was she would turn into a monster which actually did end up happening the gods also made kratos serve them for 10 years in the hopes that his suffering would end which turned out to be yet another betrayal of the gods just to use kratos for there own goals and the list goes on but despite all of that kratos knows he is a monster and hates himself for it but does realize its not all his fault and tries to spare people that werent ares thanatos or zeus but has no problem killing anyone who gets in his way which all of the gods did so they deserved it 100 percent
I didn't watch the video yet, but if it's about the time travel after the sister of fate, there was a comment from a developer in which he said, he was too blinded by rage to think clearly.
well his family's thread might be gone, but his thread was there, when he went back in time to interrupt zeus from killing him, kratos probably used his own thread. kratos could have used his own thread to save his family. i see two reasons why he didn't save his family. 1. he was blinded by vengeance so he forgot he could do that. 2. thread works like a video/audio sequence, and you could only rewind to a certain point back in time. sisters of fate cut off parts of kratos' past thread so he could no longer rewind/goto past at that time. Important events like the great war were kept safe for titans/gods those who participated.
It's because he was blinded by rage and all he wanted was to kill the gods that betrayed him and if he wasn't that would've been his first priority remember guys blind rage blinds us from making reasonable choices
What If the Gods actually released Kratos from his nightmares and he no longer has to suffer? Can you imagine that? he would be servant of them more than both Gow1 and chains of Olympus
I think even gods didn't have any answers or control over the nightmares that kratos saw maybe it were past visions shown to him to push towards his destiny by the higher plane of gods If they had kratos would have killed oneroi straight away
@@aniruddhnaik5277 if they released him from his nightmares, they would have been more trustworthy to Kratos and he will never find out the truth about his mother and his brother and continues to believe them and Zeus wouldn't think to kill Kratos to begin with and never destroy Sparta and Kratos could have continued to be the God of war
What you said about the time threads kind of doesn't make sense. The blue protection aura formed around the Titans because Kratos went back in time to save them, if he did the same thing for his family they would've had the blue aura around them at the time and he could've saved them, or even transported them to the time after Ares' death.
Also when he get the power of sisters he wanted to get revenge against zeus I think he realized if he didn't kill his family he couldn't able to kill Olympian God's I mean on the tasks that ares gives to Kratos the 3rd one is kill his lovers if he didn't do that he would have never been the perfect warrior who unleashed hell on olympus my theory is if he didn't kill his family he could not powerful enough to kill king of God's
I honestly think that even if kratos wanted to go back he could since there is a time where his family is alive before they die. However, he chooses not to because killing his family is what sets him on his path to become who he is. Without that act he does not become who he is. I think killing his family is a fixed point in time. It is what always happens and what will happen every time. It cannot be changed. Like Orkos said, three blood tasks were created to seal kratos's pact with Aries. Spill the blood of your enemies, the blood of the innocent and the blood of your very own. If kratos goes back in time and changes this then he pact is incomplete and he would never betray Aries. Instead he would continue his path of destruction and Aries would overthrow Zeus and the rest of the gods and becomes ruler of Olympus. Kratos would be by his side and his ever loyal servant along with his fellow soldiers. The world would be under Aries's rule just as he wanted. Killing his family is what begins the end of the rule of the gods and enables kratos to one day find redemption which leads to the events in GOW 2018 and GOW Ragnorak.
First off, I love Kratos as a character. There are a lot of nuances that give him a lot of depth. That said, I hate the "blind" argument. Because he factually wasn't blinded by anything. Nothing Ares did clouded his mind like Hera and Hercules. He made the conscious decision to enter that temple and consciously decided to kill everything that moved. Yes, Ares put his family in his path, and he didn't recognize who they were in the heat of the moment. But at the end of the day, he saw that his blades were about to kill a woman and a child. And he decided to go through with it.
Wait a second, ever since Kratos killed the Sisters of Fate and gained access to the Loom of Fate, he has the ability to time travel, right? If he had the ability to time travel using the Loom of Fate, why didn't he go back in time where him and his army wrecked a village where his wife and daughter were? Like, he literally could've stepped in the house and saved his wife and daughter from his old self. Then go back to present time and the concept of this whole game could've been extremely different? Shower thoughts. SIMPLE QUESTION: Why didn't Kratos time travel to save his wife and daughter?
@@beerman4928This is nonsense, paradox was also made when he went back in time to save himself from zeus, we don't really know what happened to his other self, and how he could have known that he is having atreus, atreus wasn't even born at that time. i see two reasons why he didn't save his family. 1. he was blinded by vengeance so he forgot he could do that. 2. thread works like a video/audio sequence, and you could only rewind to a certain point back in time. sisters of fate cut off parts of kratos' past thread so he could no longer rewind/goto past at that time.

Hy mate l have one question teory for you. So can Athena , Zeus , Ares and Posaidon and the other good return from dead or from river of Stix or are all the good in same good places of haven or hell , for example where is the soul of The Godess of Death , cant remember the Name of the Talatos dother the Greak God of Death and A Brather of God of Hades right and Zeus and the others. So where is the Soul or spirit of Kratos yonger Brather colled Demos , and the other haf goods do the have it saperetly then the other full Gods by the rein , place , and pawers , with the last pot to rest place ? Or the demigods are by the ending of there laife still with the living and resting in the same place the Goods and the Demi Goods ? Still l wander haw all the norse Goods and Greak Goods are conectid ? Or the Stuff with Odin and Thor ? Haw whoud they know the Full life story of all games for Kratos thil the events of Good of War 4 and then the last one the fifth one in the series. But overall its a God of War Game namber 7. And we know there is Ganna be a 8 Game. By the ending of the game of God of War 5 Ragnarok.
I think it was because of Athena's death, she was the goddess of wisdom her death halved the knowledge of greece, which explains why everyone in god of war 3 was SO STUPID
in gow 2 kratos could go back in time after he killed sisters of fate. Why didn't he come back to the time when he slaughtered his family in stop himself in the past from that event?
There was nothing he could do to save them. I doubt his younger self would listen, and while Kratos at the end of gow 2 could kill his lesser self without much effort, it would destroy him too, would it not? So in the end nothing can save his family, as the spartan army was still there and if he killed himself the spartans would still slaughter the village, as i doubt they knew those were their general's family
@@abdbay oh and btw, even if he kills the spartan army first and then himself, which i think he could, Ares would still be pissed af and may just kill his family out of rage. So really there was 0 way out for Kratos.
Those are my thoughts exactly why didn't he just go back in time to save his family instead of this stupid path of vengeance against Zeus he could've avoided all that by stopping himself from killing his family.
Ok Ares warped his Wife and Daughter into the Temple ok thats the betrayal part. But killing them in a really greek bloodthirsty typical greek rage way(like heracles) was no one but himself and his own blind Madness. Ares knew kratos couldn‘t controll himself but Ares didn‘t striked blindly everything down in this Room and he doesn‘t controlled his mind either. In the Saga of Heracles it is said that Hera blinded Herakles with Rage to kill his family , she maybe put him on this road, but he goes down that path on his own .
I hope it is halfway readable i‘m not a native speaker, I‘m German and i love your theory videos because i love GOD and thinking about headcanon stuff xD
U could attempt to salvage it all you want, but the real reason will always be that writing was absolutely ( maybe intentionally) horrible. He doesn't even mention his family at all in 2. As if they were deliberately cut because blind rage is easier to market than suicide and family murder.
Kratos’ family was mentioned multiple times throughout GoW 2. And we see his visions, they still haunt him. Gaia disguised as Kratos’ wife was the only thing that calmed him and motivated him to keep going after he heard Zeus destroyed his hometown: Sparta. It could be bad writing, but maybe Kratos understood that there was no way to go back to his family through the fates since his family’s threads were cut.

Gaia disguised as Kratos’ wife was the only thing that calmed him and motivated him to keep going after he heard Zeus destroyed his hometown: Sparta. It could be bad writing, but maybe Kratos understood that there was no way to go back to his family through the fates since his family’s threads were cut.
