@@WisdomLearner Eris was just the golden apple, everything that happened after she gave it to Aphrodite, Athena and Hera was Aphrodite's fault. Not Eris, she didn't abduct Helen
Ares comes across as really lonely. Like dude can't help he was born as a war God and has a special interest. And while he's going out of his way to find common ground with his family everyone else just wants him to be someone else. Like, that's real depressing man. No wonder he's down bad for the Cathonic Gods
Honestly. He's one of my favourites, and i wish that opinion was shared throughout the olympians. Plus, i would argue that, in a world where there objectively is an afterlife free of the plights of mortality, and where people tend to reach an optimistic opinion about eternity, the act of bringing war comes across as less than evil. He is the god of war, after all, it's his domain, and the ancient greeks weren't exactly known for their diplomacy. Would you rather he hate his job like hades? The horrors of war still exist, many face injustices beyond compare as one may tear apart their lives, but they go somewhere where the wicked are punished, and where they may reunite with those they've lost. War likewise separated and reunited achilles and patroclus.
I absolutely love the direction they depicted ares both design and character wise. And while the sibling rivalry vibes with Athena is cute and on pojnt it's apparently a little known fact that Ares apparently had a soft spot for Athena in that he actually obeyed her on occasion. In a way she probably understands him just as much as aphrodite does being two sides of the same coin.
They are brother and sister after all with all their good and bad sides (and I don't just mean blood related, that doesn't mean much for the greek gods)
Honestly the ashen black skintone for Ares is a look I didnt think would look good but it REALLY works. What better way to represent the hot headed god of war than to have his body scorched by the flames.
Ok, I know Ares and Aphrodite are dating, but... I got a bit of a crush on him. He looks unique, he sounds slick and his blessings have gotten me very far in my runs.
"You would be surprised how often love and war would go hand in hand" Yeah, you would know Aphrodite. You singlehandedly started the Troyan War
He had a lot of help
Wasn't that Eris though? I mean I think Aphrodite was the one who followed through on the threats...
@@J.G.H. Eris sure started the golden apple contest, but Aphrodite was the one to kidnap Helen of Troy
It's Eris not Aphrodite

I like what they did with Ares. His calm demeanor serves a nice contrast with his domain. Makes him seem more threatening.
This Ares is more akin to his Roman counter part MARS. Disciplined and martial.
@@SIGNOR-G he's more of a "connoisseur" of violence instead of a brute bloodthirsty barbarian.
@@SIGNOR-G more actually like how the Spartans revere Ares and even had their own version of Aphrodite who was a War Goddess; Aphrodite Areia
ARES' VOICE IS SO HYPNOTIC 😭
ARES and Dionesis share the same VA’s which makes it more badass
@@Blad3sofWaR OH NO
Can you imagine how Aphrodite feels ❤? So hot to hear in the bedroom

Artemis is the biggest mood all the time
Bro I thought she said Cunt
I was like whoah Artemis just got way better

War does his best to find a reason to be with everyone.

EXACTLY and the white looks so cool

Same this probably the only iteration of Ares I could crush on
And he will get it on with Nyx as well.
He's so polite :)
Love how 80% of these are gods telling Zag to tell Ares to leave them alone.
Ares and Aphrodaeti : Love is War
Indeed ❤
This is so helpful for references! Thank you!
It's so funny that the gods are like "Zag when you get here maybe you can tell..." Like that's all that needs to be said for things to be done 😆
Man
If only ares knew how high war would go
Not poseidencslling him weird 😭
