This is what many people spend years in therapy trying to find. Know thyself young ones . Do not lose yourself in this world or become your own monsters.
One of the hardest parts of changing is accepting the past, accepting all that you’ve done and trying to move past and be a better person, Kratos spent GOW2018 and Ragnarok trying to run from his past but only through confrontation was he able to achieve any peace
This is the perfect ending for Kratos' story. Seeing Kratos facing his past self and taking responsibility for his past actions. Not mention, becoming the "God of Hope."
This is why mirror gazing is probably one of the most profound and intense forms of mediation you can do. Just staring at your own reflection in the eyes.
There’s so much about this scene that is just beautiful, but I just love that last line “Now? I believe…I would like to sit her for a while.” It may be a bit obvious but it feels like that line has a double meaning. 1. Kratos is a man who has spent his entire life just on the move. Whether he’s fighting, planning, leading an army, hiding from his past, he’s constantly on high alert and ready for anything. He is finally allowing himself to just sit down and relax for probably the first time in years. 2. It may also apply to the throne and the position of “God of War” that Freya offered him and that this is him accepting the role. He will likely sit on that throne of such authority for a while now that he feels ready for such a task. It may be so obvious but it’s still fun to think about nonetheless
I would love to be able to tell my past self, who played the first two GOW games, "youre going to play a GOW game in the future that will be so emotional it will make you tear up". My past self would proceed to laugh me out of the room. Its amazing to see kratos develop into the character he is today.
I wanna send this to my dad. Tell him that we both must be better than our anger. For the sake of our children, our animals, our family, our friends, our loved ones, we must be better. I worry he will not be able to look past the cloud of anger and regret, and will not understand. I love my father, and I hate him. I must not become him. I have to break the cycle.
just sent this to my father. one of the few scenes in a game that made me bawl like a baby. who would ever think the old hack and slash series would turn into a piece of art. confronting such common issues nobody ever speaks about. this dlc was a masterpiece.
My dad disowned me bc I decided to change my name, but he and I share our same lustful and angry ways. Sometimes I can't control my anger but it's a sin of the father I live with. I try to be better than he was, but sometimes I'm too much the same man as mynfather
has too be hard too face your self and everything he told his younger self was true he over time became heartless power hungry and cold but even with all that he was much more then that he is more then that.
I know this is a late comment, but honestly, it's a really imoressive performance on christopher judges' part. To lead a scene solo, delivering a monologue to show kratos internal struggle. People underestimate how HARD that can be. There is no one to bounce dialogue off of. He alone has to carry that whole scene. When scenes like that are made, and the VA, art directors, and sound team all match perfectly you can make some of the greatest things. This while being better on the movie side that the game side, is better than most games or movies in that regard.
This hit really hard. I did something terrible at 16 to someone who genuinely loved me. I did it so callously and nonchalantly too. No reason and uncalled for. I’m 29 now and it still sits with me. I’ve spent my entire life trying to make up for it, but no matter what I do, the regret never truly diminishes. People say I was just a boy, but I know what I did. Even as a teenager, mistakes can follow you forever.
Me: “You ate like an idiot, blamed women for your loneliness, felt threatened by those who wanted to help you, and were terrified of trying something new! You wasted so much of your existence doing NOTHING! But you have ambition. You only need the ambition to show. You have ambition”
They should have brought TC Carson back to voice young kratos one more time. Pay honor to the og kratos and a way of passing the torch! TC carson is the goat the will aways be the real Kratos. 💯

Real.
Fellow auti

goodluck man

As a psychologist, I approve this. THIS comment, and all this scene is the exact point of therapy

Can we pay some respect to this guy?
For not putting a pointless watermark that just makes the scene ugly?
We need more people like him.

This has to be one of the best moments in any game in recent time
You can say that again😂
Chris Judge deserves all the awards for this. Such a beautiful performance.
That's putting it mildly

The duality between kratos old and new themes is absolutely perfect

I feel the exact same about my old man. Love him and hate him at the same time. You are not alone
You both will find peace. Together. You are more than what others saw. YOU are more than that.
Feels good to know I'm not the only one in such a situation with my father. Thank you for sharing @Wyattb606

Man this scene still gives me goosebumps.
I find myself coming back to this scene constantly. And saying to myself "YOU CHOSE"!
2:52 When it feels like Kratos is addressing me DIRECTLY. 😢
This is the perfect end to Kratos' story. There doesn't need to be anymore games, just let it end here
This part was just so well put together man, this games is just a masterpiece.
This spoke so many volumes to me!!!!!

No comment is to late I see them all, and I agree he’s a very talented va and mo cap artist

This is so good and beautiful
he could have died the villain or lived long enough to see himself become the hero
I belive a fakos line can sum up everything and that is "I have not brought you liberty, I found it here, among you." By Skanderbeg
Me:
“You ate like an idiot, blamed women for your loneliness, felt threatened by those who wanted to help you, and were terrified of trying something new! You wasted so much of your existence doing NOTHING!
But you have ambition. You only need the ambition to show.
You have ambition”
It’s like watching Shakespeare

I chose .
where can i find the vocals without the background music?
I NEED IT ASWELL
Christ.
what's the song
Why didn’t young Kratos on the throne not speak old Kratos
