When Kratos stormed Olympus he was a destroyer.
When Kratos storms Asgard he is a hero.
Indeed!!!
What an incredible transformation he had
He really matured and wizzened up
Kratos is similar to Iroh from ATLA. When he was young, he came to ba sing se as a conquerer. After his son’s death, he semi-retired as a general for the fire nation and when the opportunity to free every kingdom from fire nation influence, he came back to ba sing se as a liberator.
Kratos was blinded for vengeance in his youth. After marying Faye and having Atreus, he became more wise and seek peace. When he came to Asgard, he came as a liberator for the asgardians and all the realms from Odin.
@@kevinpham98kp but kratos he is not that man anymore he changed and become better than he was
Redemption arc!
Kratos went from no fucks given death incarnate, to a full blown Superhero
Once again surtur came into destroy ragnorak like a wrecking ball. Godzilla I is crying
@xylus7969don’t compare marvel swill to these games
@@Sancsteq marvel is cringe fanboy
@@jeeves903 That's your opinion. Other people have different opinions.
@Billy Bob An opinion can't be wrong. It's an opinion.
Odin is worse compared to zeus, Olympian gods has Zeus's back but odin own family wanted him crushed by kratos, and heimdall blindly believed him, refusing see beyond the deception of odin.
the difference that Olympian Gods got corrupted, thats why they see Kratos as a Threat when Kratos just want Zeus die, and Kratos come along with Titans also make they see Kratos as enemy, thats why they back up Zeus, even tho its just 'temporary'.
on Norse case, most of Gods knew that Odin are beyond assholes and they did not get corrupted, only a few like Heimdall who keep licking Odin's dirty feet.
Zeus is much worse. Odin killed them for a purpose. Zeus killed his own sons all the time. He killed Kratos's brother because of prophecy. He raped countless human women like Kratos's mother. He abuses people like Hefestus to make his lightning bolts. He's just an authoritarian king that does whatever he wants. Zeus was far worse and brutal for his own entertainment.
Odin is just the better written villain so they know how to make you hate him more. Stories especially Sony games are a lot better written now than back when the OG GoW came out. If these writers wrote the dialogue for the originals even with the same plot I garuntee you'll hate Zeus more.
Kinda ironic considering Heimdalls godly power is the reverse opposite of blindness
@@nicobenji0248 kinda what happens when your father eats babies
@@antonradke5943 he is the guardian of asgard, which Odin is figure head of. Technically he knew and went along with doing schemes because Odin wasn't lying when he said it WAS for the better of asgard. Heimdall could literally see Odin true vision always.
ODIN, I HAVE RETURNED, I SEEK THE DESTRUCTION OF ASGARD
with a cranky look on his face. 🤣🤣
That is not what we seek. We must be better than this!
THE REALMS WILL FAIL AGAIN
It would have been badass seeing him arrive on Suturs shoulder yelling the line.
@@slayerboi7008 oml
"With what army?"
"Atreus and I will be enough."
Straight facts, said with zero ego or arrogance.
Kratos's focused rage, experience, and martial prowess tempered with Atreus's instincts and ability to tap into the deepest motivations and very nature of his enemies is a combo that is quite literally unstoppable.
I will be honest. I still saw alot of soldiers of kratos if it was elfs,vannaheim soldiers or hell-walkers still fighting even when the wall was destroyed by Sindri
But he was wrong Odin beat him and Atreus easily before Freya showed up to save them
@@Respect12948Yes, but 90% of this deranged fandom won't acknowledge that.
@@Lardo137are you implying that kratos was using his full strength trying to murder Odin or let Atreus lead and choose what he wanted to do which is what happened? Context is your kid’s worst enemy it seems. Thor got beat in physical confrontation and is the strongest Aesir physically.
Odin is the just the most adept in magic something HE HAD TO STUDY AND LEARN mostly from Freya who they even state is equal to him in magical prowess.
Kratos at full power murders everyone hell him holding back murdered most and beat the rest into submission while allowing others to stand with him not because he “needed” their help. The sisters of fate couldn’t undo kratos’ existence tf is Odin gonna do with his one eye? Thor and gut wound and heimdall with a busted arm.
None aren’t even immortal without idunn apples did you know this?
@@Marshkoon “HE HAD TO STUDY AND LEARN” Oh my god, you sound like one of those cartoon jocks who think “reading” and “getting higher than a C grade” are for “loser nerds.” Odin’s magical skill isn’t innate to him, he had to learn it, but that doesn’t mean he’s weaker. And you've apparently forgotten that Zeus' lightning isn't even his originally, it was forged for him by the Cylopses.
Again: Odin is the most formidable opponent Kratos has ever faced, that is a canonical fact. None of the Olympians were capable of just snapping their fingers and fully paralyzing Kratos with pure magic, yet you negative-IQ-nancies make up the most hilarious mental gymnastics to act like that makes Odin WEAKER.
“Kratos at full power murders everyone” No, that’s just your delusional fanboy brain talking. Both the game itself and official word of god show proof of the exact opposite. Your only “proof” is ignoring what the game and developers said and acting like every instance of Kratos getting beat up or overpowered is him secretly being a masochist who willingly puts his friends and family in danger. Did you think Kratos was “holding back” WHEN HIS SON WAS BEING KIDNAPPED? Did you think Kratos was “LeTTiNG AtReUS MAkE DEciSiOns” when Odin was choking him? Or murdering Brok?
(Funny, you parasites NEVER talk about how Baldur overpowered Kratos and kidnapped his son right in front of him. And the same magical arrows that stun even Kratos don’t even make Baldur flinch due to his immortality. You don’t talk about it for the same reason you pretend that all the lore about the Greek Gods is 100% accurate and literally canon, but the Norse Gods are just metaphor or exaggerated. Hypocrisy at its finest. Real funny how you say "context" while ignoring 99% of it to enable your delusions.)
And since I know your early-onset Alzheimer’s brain forgets, Kratos was incapable of beating Heimdall without Draupnir. You maggots will parrot Kratos’ “I’ve killed greater gods” line and ignore the entire hour of gameplay, story, and script afterwards. If you activate Fury without using the Spear, Heimdall dodges every one of Kratos’ “Spartan Rage” attacks. The developers literally said Heimdall was unbeatable without the spear. Kratos HIMSELF agrees after to forge the specific anti-Heimdall weapon instead of just walking up to him and killing him, and this is when Kratos explicitly WANTS to kill Heimdall after hearing of the prophecy. But it’s just one of the many, many things you clowns refuse to talk about.
“Wait where did Sindri go?”
This pretty much confirms that Sindri didn’t give a shit about the war, once the wall was breached he was going straight for Odin. What a badass
Absolute G
“I was wrong, Atreus. Open your heart to their suffering.” Chills maaaan this game!
He Dee😅
A God who listened to his wife.
That’s cuz he got a flashback of what ares did to him.
Best fucking line in the game. Also when he tells Freya he shouldn’t have robbed her of her choice.
@@vegapreferred9344 This was the moment Kratos Realized That He was the Champion of the giants. Loki Was The reason Kratos Became the champion
It breaks my heart how Thor was so close to changing, and Odin just cuts him down.
and thats why odin paid with his own life
@@coreyondavis6032 Nah bro,he was going to die just for the fact for killing Brok
He had to die to give justice to Brok’s death. Also Kratos tried his best to make him see reason. He also knew one of them had to die. Can’t have two destroyers in the same realm.
However he did die a changed god. He saw reason and left his trust and will to Kratos and Atreus
Odin is pure evil
Nah man the moment Thor dropped his hammer, he changed. Although he didn’t get the chance to live up to it, at least Thrud got to see that in his final moments, Thor was a changed man indeed and that will live on in her.
Cant believe i didnt realize right away, Kratos keeps hesitating with Thor, partly because he doesnt wish to kill everyone and everything in his way, but mostly because he sees himself in Thor, a shitty father wanting to control everything and using him as a tool, dead children, dead brother, both committed genocide and filled with bitterness and rage. Kratos literally felt sorry for him and wanted him to find peace like he found for himself.
And ironically, despite it costing his life, Thor finally found that peace.
Unironically, that’s what it took Kratos, too. After killing Zeus, he was a bitter man who realised that revenge did not fulfill the hole in his heart. Then he tried to kill himself, only to find himself in Midgard, with a chance to be better. I am only sad that Thor never did get a chance to make up with his family.
I'm torn.
On one hand, I would LOVE to see Thor drag himself outta hell like Kratos BUT not out of a need for vengeance. But love for his family and sheer fucking will to be a better father.
On the other. This was a beautifully tragic death. Thor finally became the man he always could have been.
I really appreciate how much Freya showed up for this fight. Her absolute lack of mercy was perfect. The way she snapped the ravens neck without hesitation had me so hype
The other bird got shot and a symbol appeared above the bird just as it was falling, somebody in another video said it was the luck symbol. I'm guessing it was Huginn since we know that one survived.
Why the raven tho??? What the raven do to u???
@@ArkhamverseJoker pretty sure they were slaves
@@blackmage665 they were children Odin used as spies
I feel so fucking sad about what happened to Sindri and Brok. This game takes storytelling to a whole new level. The anger and sadness in Sindri's eyes will haunt me.
It's literally every Greek tragedy ever. Yes it is a great story but nothing that hasn't been done a hundred times.
@@cult_of_odin Wouldn't you say that it being a Greek tragedy is kind of poetic considering the circumstances?
@@cap9753 it is
@@cult_of_odin Congrats, you just dumbed down every story ever into the fact that they are all just variations of the same core concepts. Good job. Too bad the difference between a good writer and a bad one is that they can take the story and make you feel attached to what is going on *despite* the fact that nothing about it is really unique. Saying that it is "nothing that hasn't been done a hundred times" describes literally everything in fiction writing these days.
It’s rough to see him so depressed, angry, and SUPER bitter! The scleras in his eyes (the white parts) gain a red hue, and he doesn’t give a flying f**k about having a positive relationship with Kratos and Atreus anymore :(
It's a very detail but the way Mimir tells kratos to "stay in control of it" when Kratos activates spartan rage and him replying "I know" shows how much he had grown as a character for me
I think it might also refer to the 'Valor' mechanic. Which instead of making Kratos enter a limited time Rage state, it uses a bar of Rage for a single burst damage strike.
@@CandleWisp my friend, you're referring to the Wrath form of his Spartan Rage, Valour heals Kratos.
Started crying when Fenrir showed. Everybody coming together from the start to the very end. A masterpiece of a video game.
Gotta have Fen in there
It was fun seeing him assist in taking down that dragon, it was kinda funny to see Gna Chase them through that dimension tear.
I hoped he would eat Odin, like in the myths😭
Any idea where vannaheim troops were?
You didn’t cry, that’s a sad comment to make just for likes on an app
"For the sake of our children, we must be better!"
Wise words Kratos.
Sindri's very simple "Shoot it" when you're breaking down the wall as Atreus is so perfect.
It’s so rough to see him so cold and bitter :(
@@Howlingburd19 Brok dying really changed his whole personality:(

@@frogglen6350 tbh, maybe a lil bit. But I think it's still good enough
The roughest or most impacting part in this game for me is how Sindri started to behave after Brok died. It’s rough to see him so depressed, angry, and SUPER bitter! The scleras in his eyes (the white parts) gain a red hue, and he doesn’t give a flying f**k about having a positive relationship with Kratos and Atreus anymore :(
Give him time mate, Sindri will come back around, he was still willing to attack Thrud to protect Atreus, he still cares about his friends, he just needs time to properly grieve.
Seeing sindri show up alone was amazing character development.
It had such a Thanos feel to it “fine, I’ll do it myself”
Good character development but in the "wrong way", he wasn't trying to gather the dwarfs he was making sure no other dwarf will join the fight.
you know he had nothing to lose
The dwarves were right, fimble winter breaks down things, like Atreus' invulnerability from the first game.
The voice crack when he said “today…today…we will be better.” Had me in tears.
"Do you know what I've done?"
"Yes, but what will you do now?"
We don't change, we are destroyers
@@Gundam4”No more, for the sake of our children. We. Must. Be. Better.”
The dance that Odin‘s soul parts were doing were Odin‘s last desperate attempts to resist being captured, most other soul parts just drift into whatever he binds them to. His tried to fly away so hard.
The final battle. Battle of the legends. Love Kratos war speech. Love the ending. Can’t wait to play this game. Odin was the one in the mural of Jötunheim dying in Atreus arms
It was Kratos but they rewritten destiny so now its odin
@@disgustingnerd7027 think you’re right. Still can’t believe it. Mural in Jötunheim scared me of kratos’s fate in the next game

Kratos deifier of fate
@@garrettjackson1451
_"I have...changed my fate."_
From bringing down Olympus for revenge to bringing down Asgard for justice
When you consider how many times Kratos has been a General throughout his life, how many times those alliances ended in betrayal (either his or theirs), to the point where he was literally the only one left standing.
He finally did it right this time.
The best soundtrack of the game is definitely "Ragnarok". Bear McCreary could have gone for an epic battle music for this war but he went for his heart , slowed down the tempo , no huge percussions , only strings and horns , creating a very dramatic piece which is the reality of any war. Going through the enemies killing them one by one to reach Odin , while hearing this music , you could feel deep inside that you didn't want this war to happen.
odin: no matter how many gods fall there will always be another to stand against you
kratos: THEY WILL FALL AS WELL
Had me believing things could change hits hard cuz Thor deep down really knows that Odin doesn’t care for him and Thor deeply wants to be better but all of Odins abuse and his guilt for what he did blinded him during the whole game and when Kratos tells Thor that he has a chance and when he finally stands up to Odin he gets killed in front of his daughter for refusing to kill for him Such a tragic character
What did he do again what was the guilt for
@@kobedagoat6395 Slaughtered the giants and commited many other atrocties simply because Odin told him to, and allowed himself to be manipulated into a genocidal killer. He's a mirror of Kratos.
Hearing his voice crack while saying "today" had to be some of the best voice acting in the world, you really get thr since that Kratos is on the verge of a deep sadness before he says this
The way his voice cracks up emotionally saying Today son 😭❤️
4:13 at this minute skoll and hati joined the war at the same time as fenrrir's appearance even though they had no blood relation at all (game version) but fenrrir seemed to be a father who took his two children skoll and hati to hunt
I was worried that, with all the build up of Ragnarok, the ending battle wouldn't be able to live up to all the hype, but I was not disappointed. The final hour of this game was absolutely incredible.
nah should have been more
The Odin fight didn't seem as epic as Zeus
The Battle of Ragnarok was pathetic. Hardly what I would call all the realms rebeling against Asgard. The constant subverting of expectations ruined what should have been the best part of the saga.

The Odin Atreus relationship was masterfully done
The scene where they walk through the portal was breathtaking. Bear McCreary KILLED that music.
Hearing Kratos yell move forward and leading everyone forward, WITH the music in the background? Fucking perfection
It would be better if he commanded legions of barbarian warriors against Asgard and the gods, normal humans and beings from all the other worlds against Asgard
probably one of the best redemption arcs in videogames, from a soldier follewed by anger, seen as a monster in his own place, to a wise person followed by love and seen as a hero in the new land
It takes some incredible writing to turn a horn-blow into THE END OF THE DAMN WORLD and have it feel earned.
What a masterfully crafted finale.
Still in my head after all these months.
Bear Mcreary is so slept on man, what a composer
This whole sequence played out like a Marvel movie or something. I’ve never seen such scale and production in a video game it was absolutely incredible to play.
Nah, this absolutely SHITS on anything Marvel has produced lmfao
What a horrible comparison
Playing out like a marvel movie isn't a good sign 🤣
Stfu you stuck up little twats
nah, the scale could've been much bigger. Just look at GOW3 for instance
3:25
Something about Kratos ordering everyone around makes me really happy for him. Must feel like a glove fitting just right him being a General of a whole army once upon a time.
Odin: You turned them against me!
Obi-Wan: You have done that yourself... Hold on, am I in the right place?
1:12 love that horn, it gives me goosebumps
Never had a game take me through so much emotions before. Happy, sad, mad, excited, nervous, fullfilling. This was the best ending ive ever played in a video game before. This game will stick out in my mind as long as I am a gamer til im old and grey. Amazing production.

5:40 I didn’t notice this through my first playthrough,
But here in this part where we see Gna, she actually ends up killing one of the Valkyries. I thought that she merely killed a Light/Dark Elf, but when looking at the corpse a second time, it was one of the Valkyries/Shield Maidens.
Man didn’t think one of them would actually get killed
Absolutely loved the characters and their story arcs as a way to wrap up the Kratos saga, the sole complaint I have being that Sindri was so distraught at losing Brok again that he is consumed by rage and utter contempt for the people he called friends mere days or even hours before.
Just like real life. People don't just move on and forgive you every single time. Sometimes they'll blame you for the death of their loved ones and not accept your apology. I'm glad they did it like that to show that you can't always mend broken bridges. Sometimes they stay broken. I think in sindris case he's upset at himself more than Kratos and atreus because he's the one that couldn't fish out all of of Broks souls. Atreus is just his failure being shown to him in physical form. I'm sure sindri will eventually move on and forgive himself and atreus, but he may also just as likely end up never being able to let go. Just like real people who aren't able to let go either.
Despite his anger at Atreus he was still willing to protect him, like that scene with Thrud. Wouldn't it have been funny if he would have hit her sword with that hammer and actually broke it.
It's mainly his fault Brok died. He was already dead, he shouldn't have tried to get his soul. He knows he is the reason Brok doesn't even have an after life, so he's lashing out and blaming Atreus and Kratos for bringing Odin into his home. But everyone was fooled, him included. The line where he says he gave and they kept taking is true, except for the fact that he's looking at it after Broks death. Of course you'd give for your friends - your family. He can't process what happened, and he never got over Brok's death the first time, either. There's a chance he might come around if we ever see him again, but that kind of shit will ruin you forever unless you process it properly.
@@derekrulez390527Couldn't have said it better myself.
One of my top 5 games of all time. The story is right on par with the amazing visuals and fun gameplay. It was over too quickly, but excited for what’s next for Kratos and Atreus.
I liked how when kratos used spartan rage when fighting with thrud and atreus mimir told him " you've got to control it brother".
12:57. When kratos successfully avoided his prophecy
i had so many chills and emotions running through me playing this game. the previous game to this series was my favorite but now, this takes the cake. a true masterpiece. they did it again. thank you to the developers! you all rock

This story is worth a shot on the big screen.
This whole mission was epic. Up there with "on your left" from End Game. I didn't want it to end but We should've had more brutal enemies to fight like 8 dragons at once or battle through a literal army of 10000 foes. Even on give me God of war it felt easy.
“8 dragons at once”
Are you crazy lmfao
8 dragons at once 10000 foes??? ☠️ even a PS5 wouldn’t be able to handle this what are you even talking about bruh
@@lightmohamed5700At 20fps maybe it could do it
I actually give you the credit to use Heal Rage, I personally think Heal Rage is a better way to heal, but somehow not a lot of people agree to this.
I still don't understand why Freyr had to die, they all could have jumped into realm tear together
He was making sure surtr's sword didn't impale everybody lol kinda important
Freyr also died in the Norse mythology by the hands of Surtr too only difference in this case he was stopping the sword from blowing the whole place up so people have time to escape. If he let go a second early, everyone would have been dead
he try to hold back Surtr sword from destroying Asgard when other still there, just from one thrust of his sword, Asgard gonna get destroyed immediately, thats why Freyr try to stopping it, since if he didn't, all of them would died immediately from the explosion Surtr caused when he thrust his sword into Asgard's core.
At the end of the main story you find the real tyr, he says that freyr and his army survived.
@@frnt2bak he didn't say it he said that he's mourning for freyr for being brave
Wish we got more of a "swathe of armies moving against each other" and more focus on Thor's battle with Jormungandr. Also the very rushed truce in Alfheim really needed flashing out.
If you discover all the lore in alfheim you find out that Freyr was the only missing piece for alfheim truce between the elves
I think it would of been cooler if surtr come to Asgard in he’s normal form fighting alongside kratos hoping to defeat Odin without dying so he could be with he’s love again but asgards army’s are overwhelming kratos’s army and as a last minute desperation surtr realises that the prophecy is the only way so he sacrifices himself and tells kratos to activate ragnarok i just feel like we didn’t see enough of him
I think it’s be cool if the elves and hel walkers were actual NPC Allie’s that assisted in battle against the Einjehar. In Ghost of Sparta, that are certain levels where you fight alongside fellow Spartan warriors against Poseidon’s warriors.
@@howdoichangemyusername9802 You could kill them for extra health, felt so sad doing it tho
@@howdoichangemyusername9802 sadly they were just background characters 😔
This may be an unpopular opinion, while the battle was great and spectacular, I feel a little bit underwhelmed. Where was the army of hel? Jormungandr was only in this for barely any time, and there were no great armies on screen. It would have been awesome to see Kratos actually commanding somewhat of an army, seen actual armies fighting, tougher enemies, etc. This segment was great, but it seemed rushed, trying to fit in as many characters as possible in a little timeframe, only giving them a couple of seconds to a minute or two of seeing them in their glory that they deserve. Asgard itself was underwhelming as well, it seemed more of a Midgardian village than a kingdom of the gods.
I could agree, they could hVe showed more. They went with how the characters planned it. Sneak in attack the flaw in the wall while the armies fought.
The game was "filmed" over the shoulder so yea we get the perspective of them literally jusy doing the mission
I believe the army of hel never made it to battle due to the helheim realm tower getting wrecked
@Xylus that was the point tho, you’re just missing it. The point of the game was the show the difference between the Norse and the Olympic gods, every god had Zeus’ back, the only gods who had odins were Thor and heimdall in this game. It wasn’t meant to be a war of gods between gods, but everyone against Odin.
Odin's plan to stop Ragnarok from attacking Asgard was to have the dwarves build those war machines that could destroy the realm towers. When you first visit Asgard you notice that Tyr's temple is sunk and demolished and that was an attempt by Odin to prevent Realm Travel to Asgard. Once he realized that the dwarves had built another way to forcing realm travel he knew that the machines would be needed to destroy the towers themselves.
Odin knew that the story of Ragnarok told to him was that all realms would be destroyed, he attempted to save Asgard for himself and only himself. Odin only cared about himself in the end and he used others to get what he wanted. However we see that the real story of Ragnarok the one not told to Odin was that only the gods would fall, due to their egos.
Yeah imagine a Thor and Jormungandr fight where Kratos is accidentally thrown into the middle or a part where you are on Hrimthurs wall and watch as all the armies rush into Asgard. Imagine if, because all Surtr had was sinmaras heart, he was just a more powerful version of himself. That would look so much cooler.
Man I died the same way not realizing you can jump over those spaces😂😂
I think thor deep down know that odin is wrong, but he denied it, because if he agree that odin is wrong, make his action murdering all of giant also wrong, that why when he said "do you know what ive done" he sounded like someone who feeling guilty, can you imagine how thor feel? Killing all of your people for pleasing your shitty father, and your father still threat you like a shit?
Yea he even says to Odin “ I just didn’t wanna see it” he knew deep down Odin didn’t care for him he just didn’t want to accept it like he’s scared to admit it in front of Odin cuz he knows what he’s capable of or maybe he did all of the things he did to please Odin but Odin still didn’t see him as his son he still saw his own son as a destroyer Odins a bastard yea but he had a lot of a potential to be a good father and a good ruler but he chose to miunuplate everyone around him and he also killed Brok and killed Thor and almost killed Thrùd he’s the reason why Mimir is decaptiaed and he tricked us into thinking he was Tÿr he said he was Tÿr was dead but he wasn’t he bounded Freya to Midgard just cuz she wouldn’t help him learn his magic he sent Magni and Modi to their deaths and he’s the reason why Brok is dead and he’s the reason why Sindri is so bitter and angry and he’s the reason why Thor is dead and he’s the reason why literally no one likes him
You know when you think about it. If they hadn’t brought Ragnarok, they wouldn’t have been able to get past the wall in the first place. Because Surtr brought such a big distraction for Asgard to deal with. It allowed everyone else to get to Odin.
When KRATOS realises that innocent live in the realm, he wants to prevent it being destroyed because of what Faye has been trying to tell him. He tells Atreus that he was wrong and to open his heart to all the suffering and pain, not just because that’s who his son is but because they know the only way to avert fate is to be better. To a make DIFFERENT choice, to choose a BETTER way. IMO
Brok’s death caused a full on war and destruction on Asgard
Thanks for posting this! While playing there was so much going on, I couldn't keep track of everything happening in the background.
This battle and ending to such an AMAZING story, really give me so many chills and choked me up a bit. This was an experience that I received when I first Infinity War and Endgame for the first time on opening night. Having played every GOW game, Ragnarok is truly for me the BEST one in the series and the best PlayStation game this entire decade.....Standing ovation to SMS and Playstation for giving us this true masterpiece of a game and story!!
For a being that has lived nigh forever, such as Odin, it understandable to see mortals and even lesser Gods merely just “numbers that exist for a time; their number increasing and decreasing”.
Seeing a glimpse of something that “comes after all this” would no doubt be an irresistible urge. It might have not affected his actions at first, but as long as an undying deity live, it eventually will and increasingly so.
at 13:20 that is true character development! never would we have heard old Kratos talk about opening your heart to others suffering
I’m actually terrified of how Sindri is just done with everything after Odin killed his brother
They did a real good job with his storyline. And yeah, he's done with everything. You can feel his hatred boiling, compounded by his torment and how he may never forgive himself for what he did.
Am I the only who thought if kratos yelled "ready yourselves" it would have gave us all chills
This scene is very powerful and Oscar Worthy!!!!!
god the soundtrack is just so beautiful
The God of Soundtracks
Seeing Elves, the Dead, the Vanir, Giants and Gods all united for one last do-or-die, all-in apocalyptic Battle Royale against Asgard will go down in gaming history as legendary
To be fair we had only 3 giants and 4 gods the rest of their army was in the count of billions
You can FEEL the venom in sindri’s voice when he says “you don’t get to use us anymore”
@ 11:43 Why do I get the feeling Sindri deliberately killed those Midgardians on purpose. Think about it; Atreus unintentionally used Sindri for his own goals which resulted in needless death. To teach him a lesson, Sindri knew there would be innocent casualties during this battle even so he made it seem that Atreus, and by extension Kratos, used Sindri again to help in their own goal and resulted in the death of more innocent people. Damn Sindri! He has gone down a spiral of uncontrollable rage and hate, which is kinda scary.
Now this is sick
Well, There is only one thing to say
Madness.. THIS IS SPARTA!!
When Kratos tells Atreus to feel their suffering, I can’t help but feel like Kratos noticed that, if Atreus did close his heart, he would become like young Kratos.
I wouldn’t even be mad if they ended the series on ragnarok our esteemed god of war has finally gotten a true win
Oh woah just realized, Kratos has Mimir behind him who is known for knowledge and Loki/Atreus has a mask capable of all knowledge when he falls at 42:30. Interesting!
Interesting will smith reference by Thor
Thors death was so undeserving, yet that is why it is perfect. Odin killed him for no other reason other than because Odin suddenly realised Thor would become a liability or worse, a problem to deal with. Hence he killed him on the spot and tried to blame it on anyone else so his image would be intact. This solidifies his entire character from what everyone opposing Odin has said about him, and proves that he is nothing but a villain with no redeeming qualities and thus must be stopped.
2:00 it's time for war!
Still sad that Thor didn't join the fight against Odin. I also hoped Odin had more stages, more power.
I need to find the ragnarok ost version which plays when you fight alongside Thrud. It is so epiiiic.
The music was sooooo good , really set the tone for what what happening
Really, that Rage Heal coming in clutch.
2:23 literally had the same reaction at the same time the first time I saw this scene
Is it me or when Kratos blow the gjallerhorn the first few notes on the music sounded like the portal scene from endgame
Same. The goosebumps I had were crazy
Kratos becoming a kind hearted hero after our 18 year journey with him being an anti hero just makes me wanna reach into the screen and hug him.
When kratos says to his son today we will be better the music touches my soul 😭 anyone know what’s the name of that music ?
"I do not want this war"
yet it feels the only important war Kratos has had.
first time he took on the role of a general and not a soldier.
a true "god of war"
good writing is good writing.
Dissapointing final act. Felt rushed and unfinished.
Too short and boss battles were ass
Odin: you turned them against me?!
Kratos: you have done that yourself
Simply a masterpiece.
Jesus Christ they jumped Odin harder than they jumped Baldur. That’s impressive
Ong im so ready for the newgame+ update so i can replay this all over again
This sequence and that music was just SUPERB!
It's very slight but right before Odin appears, Thor nods to Kratos. I thought for sure he was going to join the fight against Odin, what came next was not what I expected. But in retrospect, it kinda makes sense. I mean, Odin would stand no chance against Kratos and Thor together, especially with support from Freya & Atreus.
Man this scene gave me chills 😭🥵🤯🤯
