Lol i also love the idea that he's tried to dump them countless times before and they keep coming back so by this point, he's probably like "meh, everything else I need to maintain, these hell-scrapers, though..."
Around early mid game in the storyline he dropped them carelessly but before the ragnarok battle he hung them up in his tent. At first I’m sure he hated them but due to brok saying about form and nature of a thing he changed his perspective on the blades. After defeating the berserker King he said the blades of chaos story is still being written and is up to others whether they see the blades as good or bad.
yeah but it also gets to show how tired he is, while he does show the ax more care, he still has it flop out of his hands onto the barrel instead of putting it down purposefully. He's exhausted.
The axe represents this new life Kratos is living, one completely different from his life in Greece. The blades represent his servitude to Ares, all the innocent lives he took. The same weapon that killed Calliope and his first wife. He hates the blades, he even tried getting rid of them but they came back. The axe was a gift from his loving wife, the woman who saved him when he was at his worst. The blades were gifted to a much younger Kratos who became a slave to some asshole god that tricked him into killing his own family. So yeah, he definitely treats that axe gently. He cares about it. But he hates the blades, and is unfortunately stuck with them. He also has the chain scars on his arms still, a permanent reminder of what he did.
As a kid i stole "you don't have yo be a Toa (means warrior) to be a hero" from Bionicle for a few English papers. Sometimes its the nerd shit that goes hard.
I didn't even think of that, considering he bonded to Pandora so quickly because of how she reminded him of Calliope that line from Odin must have felt like the worst deja vu ever
@odysseus1131 he didn't, only Kratos and Mimir did, and Atreus told Sindri while on his sesrch for Freya. That's why Brok shouted "what the fuck" coz he didn't know. I suspect Freya knew or thought of it, and of course Odin/ fake Tyr knew coz he was able to spy on them when the protection starves were down, that's why neither of them reacted.
At 5:30 i always thought this dialogue was neat, because Odin doesn't know everything abouf Kratos's former life, he questions whether Kratos was actually a "God" in the religious sense, but as the player we know that he infact was, The God of War had many mortal followera in Greece. "Kratos, our God has Fallen!" "My Lord Kratos," "The God of War lives!"
Odin likely knew but he also was likely talking about different kind of worship as kratos wasn’t really “loved” more “fear” during his time as the god of war, Spartan only like him since he on their side and gave a huge advantage, meanwhile others and the gods included hated him as he brought chaos and disorder to the land,. It more that Odin jabbing the fact Kratos wasn’t really a respected god and was dude who messed with the order of land. as big of the Dicks the other greek gods were they didn’t like straight up fuck with the other land and people straight up like Kratos/Ares did. Or deny other people their gift and power like for example Helio didn’t only grant sunlight to his worshipper and still provided it to the whole world for example or Hades wasn’t going be Bias deny you Elysium cause you were from Sparta or Athens.
Mmmmm. He had followers in Sparta and it makes total sense he was already a general inspiring undying loyalty in his men and now the greatest general sparta has seen became the God of war leading sparta to glory. Imagine your general being a literal deity of war. But outside of sparta I don't think be was worshipped. Feared perhaps.
@@attackhelicopter588The gid of war was worshipped across all of ancient lands. Greece, Roman, Africa, Asia all feared and respected the god of war. He had a dedicated priesthood, the god of war didn't always want war either, he would demand negotiations and peace first, but when the temple doors opened , he would release war and power upon the people and warriors. Sparta had the "home" of the god of war, as Spartans were his children , believed to come from an offspring of his very loins, so when Sparta went to war, no one could stand before them, and a soldier would rather die then return from a lost battle or without his men, they truly believe return with your shield on upon it, each man didn't fight for himself , he protected his brothers on his right and left, if one didn't return , they didn't return , the Shame on him and his family would last generations, they'd be outcast, hair shaved off, clothes ans property taken , children killed , and wife sold into slavery. Spartans didn't play with war or death, a coward would not be suffered to live or to spread their seeds to carry the coward gene. A warrior must have at meast one son, until then they weren't allowed to enter battle, to ensure that Sparta had sons and daughters from each line carry into the future, it was actually a law, as many Spartans practiced homosexuality , and truly loved the men they fought wuth , trained with, and lived with, as men only visited home, but lived in the barrics with the men they had been with since childhood , so they were forced to marry and have sons and daughters or Sparta would have quickly died out from pure lack of children and war.
If you listen carefully, you can hear a very slow version of Raeb's Lament when Brok dies (40:00 or something like that) I didnt realise it myself until now, but what a cool easter egg!
@@soulofangel6250 those notes are just the motif of the dwarves. During my second play I heard it a lot more. Raeb’s lament is just sorta the main version of it ig
Two things I love the most about Brok's death scene are: - His simple and direct way of thinking was enough to keep him out of Odin's web of lies. He didn't chase the little details like everyone which distracted them from realizing that it was off that "Tyr" suddenly had a change of heart about going to war just because of a mask NOBODY knows what it even does. - at 39:45 the Fire in the background represents Brok's state, it becomes less prominent as Brok's life fades away. After Sindri vanishes the fire no longer glows in the darkness
14:55 i love how kratos goes to hand over mimir and hesitates to give him over to tyr then prefers to trust freya with him. At first kratos was defending tyr's bullshit then after Atreus leaves he starts disliking him, even more after he didn't fight with them. Kratos never outwardly shows his disproval for tyr except for once but there's subtle clues.
@@D.v-O4u2c You know for a series with a pretty straight forward story and plot it weirdly has lots of fans that _really_ try to make things more complicated than what they are.
Fun fact: 'Tyr' Odin's reveal was actually meant to be very different. Recall Mimir's scene with the apparatus, and Sindri talking about his 'Bifrost eyes'... Tyr has those exact same eyes. The original plan was for the crew to suggest Tyr doing something similar, and thus the jig would be up, as good ol' Odin doesn't have them.
Speaking of Týr and Odin: When you first encounter Odin disguised as Týr, his name in the subtitle is written as "Tyr", without the acute accent. The real Týr's name appear as "Týr" respectively.
"Luck! Thats all this is!!" I love the panic in Heimdalls voice and then Kratos capitalizes on that and slams him against the wall and then their dialogue starts.
The bit just after 13:20, where Atreus and Kratos hug hit me in the feels. Cos Kratos let go after a bit, but Atreus didn't, so he put his arms back around him and asked what was wrong. That's honestly grade A parenting; even if you're mad at or disagree with your kid, you need to be there for them.
I love how in that moment, despite Atreus growing up, just for a moment he becomes a scared little kid wanting his parents comfort/protection. It's genuinely heartwarming and cute to see them have a heart to heart.
7:20 is really a memorable scene, because Kratos was just thinking about the whole situation if he is doing good and what would his wife have done in this moment
When Thor is drunk and staggers back into the brawl singing, "Thinking too muuuch" cracks me up every time, I think about that scene when I'm over thinking now 😂
I always get so oddly heated at the part when Odin asks if Kratos ever had people worship him, like "Yeah actually, one of, if not THE, greatest militaristic powers in all of Greece worshipped him as he led them in bloody conquest, only to then be manipulated into unknowingly killing the last of them all."
I love that Kratos' way of checking to see if its really Fen is to tell him to sit lmao!!! Any dog owner will confirm this is how we do that for real lol. Also just like a dog... he sneaks up to his humans when he thinks they arent looking... Fen is such a good boy lol.
25:26 I love how he fails to grip the horn the first time, this detail along with the fact Mimir gets to see it all makes it perfect. Kratos realizing he lost his control and became the god he once was completely shakes him down to the core.
@@herpderp3916They fixed each other. Faye was no different from Kratos at one point too. Her clash with Thor gives enough proof on that. They even fought each other until they calmed down and realized they are like kindred spirits.
I don’t think Faye tamed him. Kratos always had a loving person within him but was hardened due to betrayals & losses. Faye just brought it out of him.
The blades symbolized his rage, his vengeance, his shame for being a pawn for the gods, and his guilt for the unintentionally unfortunate death of his life, just fine but legendary weapon. The axe on the other hand symbolized his calmness, tamed rage that once burned catastrophically, it represents the best of the worse within and the redemption that comes with it, it is not just a weapon but a witness and a testament of what Kratos is and what life means to him after everything that he takes and taken away from him.
This scene, at 7:20 It made me realize just how.... Tired Kratos is. I could feel it on him. That exhaustion after everything. That wondering. That sorrow. Regret. Maybe its because I have gone through with Kratos from the first god of war to the third, and seen the results of the spin-offs. I have followed this man for nearly 20 years through games and other media in that sense. Seen his story start, and come to a close in the Greek pantheon. And known, he has not only changed. But just grown tired.
So true But the annoying thing is that some gamers still want him to be that cruel killer he used to be. I'm grateful that he gets to regret his actions and try to better himself, while still being an absolute unit. I appreciate the devs and writers giving us this mature Kratos that has come full circle from what he used to be.
@@kejahwills Same. The new god of war games feel like a proper homage to Kratos and hos story. People keep calling the 2018 gow a reboot. Its not. Its a new book entirely. A new life for Kratos in his saga. Now we will see how things go in the future.
He just holds back a lot and it’s tiring even his age shows it, gods do not age at all but he chooses to give up his godly powers and hold back The fact that he punched a wall without breaking it demonstrated how much it’s focusing
@@NECROMAGICIAN666 He still has his godly powers tho, but it's not the same as it was from the previous games, since his other powers left along with Greece. If he could give it up, he would tho. For now he tames his power and improves himself as a character
I love the scenes between Atreus and kratos. It’s the first time we ever see in this series where two gods actually have a healthy family relationship where they have ups and downs. You could argue Thor had that with thrudd, magni, modi, and did but Thor’s always drunk. And of course, the Greek pantheon was anything but family(except for hades). I just appreciate how significant scenes with these two are as it breaks the cycle of gods fearing their children and wanting to kill them to keep their power. Kratos does this by simply showing unconditional love for atreus.
if I may, I think I know why. said sword likely wasn't exactly battle grade, he was mostly using it as a way to help him vent. and of course he knows how to swing his smithing tools far better then any sword or ax so he went with what he knew.
I love that when everyone is yelling at BOY Kratos is the only one that doesn’t even though he is the most judgmental one, that is his son and he does not want to lose him again, and helps his boy when he is in distress
Anyone notices that fake Tyr never holds a weapon? I think it's more than just for the disguise, it feels like Odin cannot fight while using the disguise as it would break the spell. Even when he revealed himself it was undone the exact moment he stabbed Brok. He would have gained at least a moment of confusion and chaos if he kept his Tyr disguise after he stabbed him but I think the spell unraveled as soon as he grabbed the knife.
Honestly the whole line from Odin concerning Kratos not knowing the love of mortals and to even think past himself just describes the character of Odin completely on point. It’s almost like he’s talking to himself.
Kratos, the god killer, among the many peoples he met whose either friend or mostly killed at sight, kneels down to brok and request for a blessing for the spear. This shows how much kratos repects brok.
What I enjoy most about the Lady of the Forge scene, is how when she takes Kratos’ blood, she sees the symbol of the god of war and seems like she frowns, almost as if she isn’t happy with that. She wants the nature of something, not the form. Hence why she’s content when it switches to a lambda, Kratos’ true nature. It’s a brilliant fucking scene, as it served as a little pay off to Brok’s earlier comment when capturing the sound of wind
Interestingly, Odin grabs something and tinkers with it when he talks about Atreus to Kratos. Might be reading it too much, but thats a subtle threat, “your son is with me and i can torture and torment him whenever i can if you do something i don’t like”.
Definitely. It looks like tongs or pliers, which can be easily used as torture weapons. That whole scene was Odin trying to manipulate and intimidate Kratos while keeping up a facade of wanting peace, and Kratos not buying his BS for one second. As Heimdall learned the hard way, you *never* threaten Atreus in front of Kratos.
Odin saying, "That boy of OURS" doesn't help either. Dangerously possessive, like, "We are SHARING Atreus right now. If you mess up, he'll just be MINE."
That part where Kratos & Atreus fought them valkyries together in that space world was soooo goated🔥🔥🔥 the scenery that pose they did fighting back to back was a poster worthy
Thor looked at the arrow Heimdall was holding, and then back to Heimdall. He was gonna make sure that arrow would be a part of Heimdall for the rest of his sorry life...
just noticed thor has the same scar on his eye like kratos. Crazy when they both acknowledge they have a nature of being destroyers. maybe in an alternate timeline, thor could've been in kratos shoes.
Why do I hate seeing Kratos so sad? Like, good game, just makes me feel bad. I don’t even like Kratos that much, it just makes me want to hug his big treetrunk arm
I think I finally understand what happened with the Lady and Kratos' blood. She's using his blood to mold the spear in his image. What does Kratos' blood say about him? That he was a god of war; but no, before that he was a Spartan. That's who he is, that's the one part of him he's proud of, his Spartan heritage. So that's what she goes with to put the final touch to Draupnir.
If she used it as the blood of the god of war, it probably would’ve been chained to him. But as a proud spartan? I’ll be damned if that didn’t make the spear look like a beautiful piece of work.
There is a GOW game in which Kratos confronts Thanatos together with his brother. His brother carries a spear in the same design. Even the red banner on it.
I never realized that when Thor said “This feels familiar” after making a frozen thunderbolt in his fight with Kratos, that he was referring to his fight with Faye when she wielded the Leviathan Axe.
Heimdall's death scene so stupid the moment you remember that 5 minutes before this fight, you Ripped the bottom Jaw and front Chest off a "unique" named wulver. Mimir I'm 100% certain you would take slowchoke ("No more pain only dreams now") over having your front torso ripped off.
3:33 I just now noticed that the lady of the forge uses the symbols of the Greek alphabet even though she is in the Norse mythology, does anybody have an explanation for that?
I think she's basically just using his blood to see his history. She frowns at the omega symbol, which represents Kratos as the god of war, but approves of the second symbol--his mark as a general. It's leadership, not wrath, that she chooses to imbue the spear with.

I love how Kratos carelessly casts the blades aside compared to the axe it really shows that he hates what they symbolise

if I may, I think I know why. said sword likely wasn't exactly battle grade, he was mostly using it as a way to help him vent. and of course he knows how to swing his smithing tools far better then any sword or ax so he went with what he knew.
@@scribblerstudios9895 “if i may🤓🤓🤓”
I'm pretty sure that's Brok's sword. He must be repairing it for the funeral or just in memory of him.
6:50 Little details here, but you can see how much Kratos hates the Blades by just throwing then in the ground, but he treats the Axe with respect
I love that when everyone is yelling at BOY Kratos is the only one that doesn’t even though he is the most judgmental one, that is his son and he does not want to lose him again, and helps his boy when he is in distress
2:17
Thor was probably thinking of something that involved Mjolnir, butts, rope, and mead.
I think he was planning to stick that arrow in a place Heimdall wouldn't like...
34:27 I like how Sif is trying to tell Thor his father Oden is the reason for their problems but Thor misunderstands his wife and attacks Atraus.
I don't think he misunderstood, he knows what is going he , but he just can't fight odin straight on so direct his anger on atraus
Anyone notices that fake Tyr never holds a weapon? I think it's more than just for the disguise, it feels like Odin cannot fight while using the disguise as it would break the spell. Even when he revealed himself it was undone the exact moment he stabbed Brok. He would have gained at least a moment of confusion and chaos if he kept his Tyr disguise after he stabbed him but I think the spell unraveled as soon as he grabbed the knife.
49:28 always gives me goosebumps. So proud of those two for how far they’ve come.
49:09 DAAAAAMN Loki a *BEAST!* 😱 I need to stop sleeping on these games and play them
YOU NEED TOO🔥
That Kratos yelling “BOY” would have scared me shitless
11:27 i just noticed that heimdal didnt try and block because he knew atreus would stop her
the scene with atreus as a bar and kratos perfectly syncing vs. the best fighters in the norse mythology gives me goosebumps every time… big time
Honestly the whole line from Odin concerning Kratos not knowing the love of mortals and to even think past himself just describes the character of Odin completely on point. It’s almost like he’s talking to himself.
“I thought we were his family too.” “…we were” 😢
you can actually hear sindri start to sob a little more after he hears that
Look at kratos face when Odin called him a monster at 5:51
He was about to snap.
I didn't notice that.
I took it as
pot meeting fucking kettle tf you on about old man
“Yeah right bitch…5:51..the FUCK you say?!”
Kratos, the god killer, among the many peoples he met whose either friend or mostly killed at sight, kneels down to brok and request for a blessing for the spear.
This shows how much kratos repects brok.
Yeah that frozen lightening scene was so damn cool
“Have you ever been in love? It’s pretty good.”
Best line ever. 😂
These games have such a magical feeling to them and the gore and violence is amazing ive been a god of war fan since 2008
If I made a mistake, and Mirmir told me “this is a fuck up of not insignificant proportions” I don’t know if I could live with myself anymore.
Heimdall trash talking to Thrüd: " I’m not afraid of your father.
When he trash talks to Atreus: " oh crap. "
"Don't be sorry father" had me bawling
The Valkyrie entrance at the spark of the world is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
lmao those transitions reminds me of my powerpoint presentations i made in middle school
when atreus leaves, and kratos just yells "BOY", it sent chilllls down my spine
Kratos:Death can have me when it earns me
Death:💀
tell that to thanatos
i often think about what Thor showed Heimdall in his eyes
Fen. The best doggo in all the 9 realms.
Every time I hear Odín say Loki after the heimdall fight it makes me laugh
Odin: I did not want this
Every being in the known universe: you wanted it and you got what you deserved
What I enjoy most about the Lady of the Forge scene, is how when she takes Kratos’ blood, she sees the symbol of the god of war and seems like she frowns, almost as if she isn’t happy with that. She wants the nature of something, not the form. Hence why she’s content when it switches to a lambda, Kratos’ true nature. It’s a brilliant fucking scene, as it served as a little pay off to Brok’s earlier comment when capturing the sound of wind
Was the Lamda symbol his before? I don't recall that
@@ashtonpeterson4618 lambda represents the fact that he’s a spartan, through and through. I should’ve made that more clear
4:00 The creation of Draupnr gave me goosebumps.
14:41 Dad of Boi comes into the fray
I love how mimir was so quick to say no to go to helheim with Kratos and Atreus but was also quick to say yes when hildisvini asked him
DUDE WATCHING KRATOS' FACE CHANGE WHEN HE KILLS HEIMDALL GAVE ME CHILLS 😮
Interestingly, Odin grabs something and tinkers with it when he talks about Atreus to Kratos.
Might be reading it too much, but thats a subtle threat, “your son is with me and i can torture and torment him whenever i can if you do something i don’t like”.
Definitely. It looks like tongs or pliers, which can be easily used as torture weapons. That whole scene was Odin trying to manipulate and intimidate Kratos while keeping up a facade of wanting peace, and Kratos not buying his BS for one second. As Heimdall learned the hard way, you *never* threaten Atreus in front of Kratos.
Odin saying, "That boy of OURS" doesn't help either. Dangerously possessive, like, "We are SHARING Atreus right now. If you mess up, he'll just be MINE."
6:50 i love how kratos just toss those blades like he always hated, but put the axe gentler on the table
from this series of God of War, i learned something. The one who call other a monster is actually a monster of themselves.
That part where Kratos & Atreus fought them valkyries together in that space world was soooo goated🔥🔥🔥 the scenery that pose they did fighting back to back was a poster worthy
Kratos holding eye contact with freya as he’s saying Atreus made a Mistake 😳
Kratos is the only person I know who articulates himself well through just grunting
Love how crazy was gonna let go of Atreus but embraced him more and calls him Atreus
1:50 is the part that I haven't fully understand, yet. The encouter between Heimdall and Thor. Like...what did Heimdall see in Thor's eyes?
Thor looked at the arrow Heimdall was holding, and then back to Heimdall.
He was gonna make sure that arrow would be a part of Heimdall for the rest of his sorry life...
Well I guess stocking the arrow down places where it isn't supposed to stick in.
Completely forgot about the father/son fight against valkyries and Artreus ripping one in half but I love it
Odin: “what would drive you to such mischief, is this lokis doing”
damnnnn, so THATS why they call loki the god of mischief 😮
just noticed thor has the same scar on his eye like kratos. Crazy when they both acknowledge they have a nature of being destroyers. maybe in an alternate timeline, thor could've been in kratos shoes.
We wouldn't have batted an eye had you just made a full on playthrough and posted here.
Why do I hate seeing Kratos so sad? Like, good game, just makes me feel bad. I don’t even like Kratos that much, it just makes me want to hug his big treetrunk arm
Sindri really changed
What an amazing story man
game is genuinely so stunning
i love the fact of when Aterus glances at fraya he stops stocking about how the boat fly
7:20 I can see why this scene is one of your favorites.
chill☠️
@@KYGASTANno offense I can see why it is its quite an memorable scene, well put together
I think I finally understand what happened with the Lady and Kratos' blood. She's using his blood to mold the spear in his image. What does Kratos' blood say about him? That he was a god of war; but no, before that he was a Spartan. That's who he is, that's the one part of him he's proud of, his Spartan heritage. So that's what she goes with to put the final touch to Draupnir.
If she used it as the blood of the god of war, it probably would’ve been chained to him. But as a proud spartan? I’ll be damned if that didn’t make the spear look like a beautiful piece of work.
There is a GOW game in which Kratos confronts Thanatos together with his brother. His brother carries a spear in the same design. Even the red banner on it.
de hecho amigo, fíjate en las expresiones faciales de la dama, el símbolo omega no le agrada...pero el símbolo espartano si.
that does fit the facial expressions she makes about the blood
It embodies his real legacy. As he says to Brok when you first start using it on the way back, the spear is the first weapon a Spartan learns.
My fav one-liner is probably “This is a fuck-up of not insignificant proportion” 😂
I like getting to end game and sleeping to see everyone’s armor sets lolol
Love fens giant tail wagging in the background .
“My favorite scene in God of War Ragnarok”
*shows the entire game from start to finish*
game’s too good☠️🙏🏾
I never realized that when Thor said “This feels familiar” after making a frozen thunderbolt in his fight with Kratos, that he was referring to his fight with Faye when she wielded the Leviathan Axe.
the thumbnail itself says it all
"Death can have me when it earns me"
*Chuck Norris who?*
Now I gotta play the game all over again now lol don’t be sorry father. Be better
“Thinking too muuuuuuuch”😂😂😂
14:50 "OH WE GOT A MODEL FATHER HERE"
I love the favorite scene when it's all about the games.
1:19 i love this scene XD
You forgot the I need a hero scene 😂😂
38:38 was one of the saddest moments brok dying😢
Odin should’ve had Thor to attack them to distract them while he takes Atreus/loki back to Asgard
Heimdall's death scene so stupid the moment you remember that 5 minutes before this fight, you Ripped the bottom Jaw and front Chest off a "unique" named wulver.
Mimir I'm 100% certain you would take slowchoke ("No more pain only dreams now") over having your front torso ripped off.
the fact surtr nearly brought kratos to his knees is extremely terrifying to say the least bringer of ragnarok or not
3:33 I just now noticed that the lady of the forge uses the symbols of the Greek alphabet even though she is in the Norse mythology, does anybody have an explanation for that?
maybe it’s Greek blood, or perhaps a spear is one of the weapons of a Greek spartan? Im not really sure :)
She's a magic fish lady in a magic underwater forge helping a dude with a talking chopped off head tied to his waist bro
I think she's basically just using his blood to see his history. She frowns at the omega symbol, which represents Kratos as the god of war, but approves of the second symbol--his mark as a general. It's leadership, not wrath, that she chooses to imbue the spear with.
Bear loki riping a valkyrie in half is quite lovely
Atreus in Bear form is awesome
I can just imagine fenrir wagging his tail and destroying the whole forest
