About Video Game Sophistry:
Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel.
Andy Borkowski started this program nearly 10 years ago and, in that time, it has changed from a simple TH-cam show, to a radio show, a tv show and now once again a TH-cam destination. Welcome to VGS.

So my friends....who's here after the trailer? TYR IS COMING!
I am lol
yeeep
As soon I heard the name Tyr I tried to do some research here
THIS MAKES IT EVEN AWESOME
Yep yep yep
Mimir: He was a God of war who brought peace.
Kratos: I brought peace, too. A little piece of Ares. A little piece of Hades. A little piece Athena. And a little of piece Zeus.
and then... worst of all he brought a little piece of monica.
I can almost hear Kratos saying this aloud
By Killing Them...
Kratos number five
DONOTDENYMEMYREVENGEEEEEEEEE
"I've never been inside a giant's belly either"
That's where you're wrong kiddo
lol cause his mama was a giant huh
And when Kratos was almost eaten by Kronos, at this moment Atreus was in Kratos balls, so yeah he's been 2 times in a giant belly
Optykful sperm cells don't live that long...
They usually deteriorate in a few days
I don’t ge- _oh. . ._
Purity fbi Are the sperm cells of a demi-god comparable to the sperm cells of a normal human? they would live longer since they are in a supernatural being but I mean who the fuck knows lol.
“You only killed those deserving? Right?”
*music change*
“...yes”
"I killed many who were deserving... and many who were not. I killed my father."
Maybe one day kratos will come clean. Atreus still needs time to adjust to the revelation of being part god and giant
GamerJosh2611 Those deserving, Zeus, of course, Ares, Helios, Hermes, Hercules, Hephaestus, Cronos, The Sisters Of Fate, Hades, and Poseidon.
He technically killed everyone who was stupid or paranoic enough to get in his way.
@@Wolfgodmak Did Hephaestus really deserve to die? His only crime was trying to save his daughter.
"Tyr was open about sharing his knowledge and wisdom"
Tyr: Lol enjoy these 5,000 sawblades between you and my wisdom.
He was also paranoid.
Didn't Mimir say it was too stop Odin?
Yes. He was Odin's Number One Enemy. He had to be careful when dealing with him, so he set up traps so Odin couldn't steal from him
Those traps are for his greedy father and family so they would never be able to access Jotunheim.
Imagine the the Kermit meme when reading this
A God of War, but he used his knowledge to promote peace instead. Damn I'm sure Kratos felt something when Mimir said that, considering his own stint.
I thought the same thing
Tyr is an older Kratos so I'm sure he did when he heard it. Probably what sent him on the path.
King BLUE_DUP
Speculation is fine and all, but don’t go about believing that it’s canon so soon.
Punch Down King Kratos is most likely gonna become Tyr in the game.
Wolf 110 makes sense why he becomes a god of war that promoted peace instead of war, after all he's seen first hand the ugly side of war in his youth
Reminds me of a quote. "It is important to draw wisdom from different places. If you only take it from one place it becomes ridged and stale."
-Iroh
Of course.🙂👍
Iroh would definitely be Tyr mate
Ayy :)
Literally everything iroh says is a great quote
And Iroh too, was known for his acts of War and later fighting for peace.
I like how Tyr's lore completely flips the meaning of being a "God of War" and really made Ares and Kratos in the past look like madmen by comparison
Yeah but kratos knows he was a madman lol
Welp tyr gonna be in the new good of war game
Ares in mythology was actually a True God of War. he did need war,yes, however he symbolized passion,bravery and respect for women.
O have a feeling Tyr will be seen as a mad man/god after the next game.
There are different interpretations of these things to my understanding. Clearly Tyr was shown to be a god of war in a different sense than his Greek counterparts. Obviously he knows a great deal about war and desires to avoid it.
Kratos: Imma just break this vase of me here, and leave the largest part where I'm painted on it in tact and facing upwards on the floor. The boi will never suspect a thing.
God of war logic
And the boi never did...
😂😂😂
Lol
God of War more like God of logic
Ok here is a crazy theory. What if Odin has Imprisoned Tyr? Within the game, Mimir gives several examples of Odin doing whatever it takes to horde all knowledge for himself. And we know that Tyr traveled everywhere and probably gained a whole lot of knowledge. Thats why we haven't seen Tyr at all. I swear if this is revealed in God of War 5, I will flip out.
Gabriel Meyer part of me thinks Mimir is Tyr, who had some of his memories blocked off by Freya/Odin so he couldn’t remember his own identity.
But he was imprisoned in a tree to be used as a knowledge resource for the Aesir whenever they needed.
Actually there is a Giant's mural in Tyr's Temple you find that shows Tyr chained at his ankles and his neck with Odin and Thor standing above him. I think your theory will be proven correct in the next game that Tyr IS alive and being held somewhere in Asgard parhaps in the lower area of Odin's palace.
@@jeremesmith9266 the most probable theory i could get behind. I mean the similarities are too great to miss. They are knowledgable about the world beyond their own. They witnessed a lot of events happening between gods not to mention is a difficult chance for a mortal. And the eyes, like as if the giants have spare to give to a mortal chancellor
@@jeremesmith9266 also the way he he seems too close to kratos that he would address him as a brother ( both gods of war ). He also seem to be close to everyone despite being just a reference for a certain race of gods. Its just that maybe the curse wasn't just him being bound to a tree but also having his life rewritten since odin needs tyr for joutenheim but does not need his principle.
@@jeremesmith9266 Good theory but mimir is an actual person in Norse mythology separate from tyr.
It's pretty cool that Tyr knows about Kratos.
The Feleapz I'm pretty sure tyr IS Kratos
More like 'knew', he's dead unfortunately. One of the most interesting off screen characters I've ever not seen.
I feel like tyr being dead isn’t as they make it seem.
King BLUE_DUP
Tyr is one of Odin’s sons.
Dyllan Rodriguez yea i dont think hes dead its still unknown
Holy shit, when Kratos smelled the wine he was reminded of home and his old life. The flute that his daughter played can be heard.
I don't wanna ruin the likes
Would be a plot twist and a half if it turned out aphrodite was his daughter and the fact depending on which choice you make he fuckin nailed her.. and I'm pretty sure most of us chose to give her kratos sausage surprise 😂😂😂😂
@@OdinSmilesRavensLaugh72051 bro get some help
@@wesleygaray2666 tried! Was told I'm beyond it
@@OdinSmilesRavensLaugh72051 You ok in the head bro
Tyr maybe the Norse God of War, but it seemed that Thor was more bloodthirsty than he was
Minev oh the irony
Thor and Odin are also gods of War.
The Conspiratorist are they?
In Norse Myth, the title of God of War was shared between Odin and Tyr. There are some theories that Tyr, originally called Tiwaz (which simply means "god"), was the original chief Germanic god, but was replaced by Odin later after people started worshipping him more.
You all might want to fact check me on that, though.
Atreus: Look, the Tree's upsidedown. Or are we?
No boy, your father just flipped the entire known universe.
SwordTune "kratos"
Why in quotation marks?
SwordTune because "kratos"
#flipthetemple
Oh now i see the reason why once we were wise and now we are stupid and attention whores
Damn Tyr built an entire temple with puzzles while Kratos couldn't even make a floor for his house I guess every God of War is different.
well kratos is really good at destroying stuff, building is the exact opposite of it...
Boy... the ground is the floor.
@@jorgenitales412 Lol, that's pretty much exactly what I was going to write. Kratos basically embodies the strength and brutality of war and nothing else. Tyr sees to be a master, or at least a journeyman of every aspect of war.
Then again Kratos is a Spartan, famous for their stark minimalism to the point they didn't write any of their laws and customs down for being superfluous. What little knowledge we know about them is thanks to Non-Spartans who lived there and wrote about them like Xenophon...
@@whyisblue923taken 😂
"i wouldn't have felt so bad about killing so many elves"
mimir: uh...m8
"Their Little problems"
mimir: *M8*
Right? That was a red flag if I ever seen one god damn man
@@wjbushjr well he is u know who after all LMFAO
Boi: (。皿。)
Kratos:(-ˋ_ˊ-)
Mimir: (ˊ·ω·ˋ)
Mimir out here knowing damn well shit’s a red flag, while Kratos is there like “…meh”
I was dying 😭
That expression Kratos makes when he smell the taste of his homeland is pricelesss. Normally I hate to see a badass character becoming more sentimental but GoW managed to make him more badass by doing it.
Even one man armies need the refreshing sweetness of home
And the chorus sings "und svíður", which apparently means "wound burns"
Even if he's far away he's still misses his home town
When Kratos smelled wine background song shows Kratos thought: Home...
[MD] Marcus my friend told me they were thinking of the crappy Titanic flute theme 😅
for a video game character you could definitely see and feel him thinking back on it......a place he could never go back to
You don't fucking say!? Jesus..
b a ikr, was pretty fucking obvious hahahaa
Aaah, many a good night could be remembered, eh? ;-)
Now with that Unity Stone, kratos can travel to Egypt and Japan to kill all the gods there
kratos has no chance against thor unless he gets the blade of olympus
Yea we'll let Cory decide that not your stupid shitty fake ass story.
If you're talking serious... you did not play this God of War. At least, didn't play it right.
ReaperOfTheNorthLegion Pretty sure he's going to acquire Surtr's fire blade that gives the final blow come Ragnarok, the death of Baldur kick started it already so that's where we're headed. Thor is supposed to die seconds after defeating the world serpent due to his venomous bite. Atreus is supposed to be Loki which means he fathered the world serpent and in the game when he's asking Kratos what powers he will have, he asks if he could turn into a wolf and Kratos tells him to surprise him ... what if he turns into the wolf that kills Odin in ragnarok? that's supposed to be another one of Loki's children but the game is different of course. The next game might top this one, really excited for the future of these characters
the gods in japanese culture are nice so they probably would not fight kratos, he only kills gods when they try to kill him first
So being a god of war isn’t just about starting wars, it’s also about stopping them. Interesting.
Different approaches to being a God in general.
But kratos stopped it too literal
Dr. M Hyde you stop them by ending them.
@@lucasrackley250 depends if u end them with death or not
Well Kratos do the right thing since most of Greek gods were dickhead in the beginning.
Did anyone see the curtain with the Egyptian Japanese and celtic gods in the elevator
Michael Pitman where
Michael Pitman no what's the time code?
looked more aztec or mayan than celtic
No it's celtic and it's probably the where the next trilogy will take place...
աåʀʀɨōʀ ωαяяισя eyptian pyramids, japanese torii, looks like a mayan pyramid and mayan head dress
"He's open to letting you row into his mouth to look inside."
28:49 *Kratos looks into the camera like in The Office*
He is thinking "Not again"
“That’s what she said.”
6:25 dammmn when Atreus told Kratos "and you're good" you could feel the mixed great joy and guilt Kratos felt. This game is so beautiful, like wow, an excellent continuation to the series. Kratos is simply trying to teach his son better and be an example for him, but he must do so while overcoming/accepting all his past atrocities done. You could really understand, who am I to teach my son to be a good being if i did so many horrible things in my past? A question I'm sure many of us ask ourselves when struggling to improve ourselves. Cheers !
I don't know if it's just me but the Jormungard looks very happy when someone's talking to him xD
Sufi Iskandar Imagine speaking a language that's considered dead and no one understands you and cant even have a conversation with. You'd be happy too when talking to someone who finally knows what's you're saying.
But apparently he is too busy or tired to talk to when we want to use the horn to call him.
I find Jormungdr chilled out and caring hes kind of cute in that friendly animal giant sort of way
Jormungand is the kind of snake you wanna be cool with. He looks cute when he just chillin around the mountains minding his own bussiness.
There's a reason Mimir used to get drunk with him.
Tyr, the God of War who had a vision of peace so amazing, the only soldiers needed would be clay statues for decoration.
Truly, he was too good for the pantheon or this world.
At first I thought those were souvenir terracotta warriors from a Chinese palace, but I totally understand what he means
Goddamn I love this version of Kratos a hell of a lot more than the "always-pissed-off" one.
The growth of Kratos' character really sucks you into the game. From a senseless war machine, to a vengeful broken man, to a Father struggling with his past and trying to forge a path for his son and the future.
Exactly. Compare these to quotes.
“If all of Olympus will deny me my vengeance, then all of Olympus will die”
“Vengeance, you will find no peace”
@@lostsurferjames5 its cool to see kratos find purpose and peace after god of war 3. He literally destroyed greece. Its one thing to be told that someone was once a savage and a murderer, its another to follow the character for years and then finally watch him redeem himself
you mean ZOOOOOOOSSS!!
@@natelav534 red dead redemption series. It shows the character at their worst and then at the end their best, but they died because of their sins
Can we take a moment to appreciate how well Cory tied together so many pantheons in a single frame?!. Honestly, a master storyteller moment
Do you think Kratos was thinking of his brother and how it could have been different when he saw how Brok and Sindri were getting along?
I don't think so. It's not the same. His brother was forcefully taken away from him right in front of his own eyes when Kratos and Deimos were only children. The only reason Deimos hated Kratos when he finally found him in Thanotos's realm is because he was trapped there for so long he believed his brother forgot about him and no one was coming to rescue. So it's kinda like "Oh now you show up to free me? After all these years I've been tortured by Thanotos? Well fuck you. It's too late!" And thus that was that. But they did reconcile briefly in the end, and fought Thanatos together, brother standing with brother once more. So before Deimos died, at least Kratos finally got forgiven by his brother and he died fighting alongside him.
But god damn is it sad
The only time Kratos get to meet Deimos again was very brief. They fight and it ends up with Kratos surrendeting as he dosent want to hurt his brother. And even when they start fighting together, Diemos dies just after the battle against Thanatos
@@CrystallizedBlackSkull At least he still has Kassandra the Eagle Bearer
@@RestlessRebel That is exactly why Kratos destroyed Greece and peaced out.
@David -01 No. If it was the whole world then Why isnt the sun blocked out here? because it was just in Greece0
Atreus: "You only kill those deserving, right?"
Kratos: "Sure" (fingers crossed)
**being guilt about the innocent people that he killed**
0786RICARDO he was like an atomic bomb. he killed many of both.
@@LeBornMajes "Oh no, not you again":*intensifies
Odin pulls out his Spear and boasts its power made by dwarves. Kratos pulls out his sword of olympus, made by his fathers full power and upgraded by "the dwarves". Odin about to get served.
Exlecticution i dont think so the blade of olympus is completly powerless now,maybe it made a appearnce but severly weakend.
Pretty sure he'll acquire Surtr's blade which is supposed to be the final blow to the gods come ragnarok.
that is not possible kratos went to midgard not to long ago he was in greek myth for a long time
Wild imaginations some people have. They've already said this God of War series isn't a quest for revenge, or Kratos repeating what he did to the Greek Pantheon. This isn't his story either -as the game says at the end. It's Atreus'. Kratos will likely die and stay dead based on the mural at the end of the game (Kratos appears to be laying dead in Atreus' lap with what looks like a rock, or hammer lodged in his skull), or play a side role as Atreus comes of age in the next two games. He's not ending the Norse Gods like the Greek Pantheon. I don't really understand the weird fetish some GoW fans have with that. It's makes for a poor story to just keep repeating the same thing over, and over again as well. As the developers have said.
thor slays giants like little kids, one swing from his hammer slaughters giants he was also the guy that had such a violent battle with jormungand that they shook the nine realms and cracked ygdrassil
I like how even Mimir questions game logic of flipping a whole temple by hand
Brok is the best!
"Last time I saw one of those I could still get rigid down south"
ROFL! Dude he is fucking hilarious!
Kratos: *Sees fanart of himself, gets lost in bad memories*

Tyr sounds like the best god ever in any mythology
The games take some liberties. Gods, for example, are usually depicted as very humane, supernatural but not perfect - or evil for that matter. They are gods. Powerful but not all-knowing.
@@Arcaryon i mean, we know basically nothing about the mythological Tyr, but he might very well have been the norse equivalent of a "good" god, i.e. one that can serve as a general role model on deceny, with him being brave, lawfull, honest and whatnot.
But, once again, there is little evidence regarding him, he really only appears a couple of times in the Sagas. I suppose Snorri thought that he was a tad boring compared to his more flawed collegues.
No
That's racist
Your comparing gods of other cultures wtf? R u gud?
@@SeventhT I am sorry, are you talking to me? If that is the case, i do not understand how your comment relates to mine.
I heard when Odin found out he was betrayed by the Norse god of war he had to shed a Tyr.
Kratos and Atreus: *Bring the Jotunheim tower back to Midgard."
The World Serpent, casually minding his business, when he sees the same tower his ancestors nearly died to and keep hidden:
*Hol' up*.
Jormungandr is the child of Atreus/Loki
Once Mimir told them they were enemies of Odin he recognized they were his father and grandfather and decided to help him
Jormangundr may be a giant himself but he wasn’t their to witness the fate of his brothers
Atreus getting prideful when knowing he's a god..... many years later...
Atreus: I AM A GOD!!
Some Green Beast: puny god...
He's a demigod not a pure god like kratos
Thankfully, I doubt he would find himself in that position.
@@LeBornMajes That went completely past your head.
@@LeBornMajes reference to avengers 1
@@LeBornMajes Kratos' a demigod as well thanks to Callisto who became a full god.. but being a full god isn't a being a pure one, that's when you've never been a demi god and just a full one from the beginning with 2 unmortally parents 🙏🏼
Anyone else watching this because they showed Tyr in the Ragnarok trailer?
If they showed Tyr in the trailer this early, i can only imagine what else they have in store. Going to be crazy with Thor and Odin and im ready for it!
Have you heard of his voice actor? He might get an Aussie accent?
I feel like it would've been better to keep tyr under wraps. He's way too important of a character to just show in a trailer. But yes, maybe they do have a crazy fucking ride waiting for us
Both Mimir and Tyr free from his grasp, Odin is not going to like this.
@@CooperStation01 he has yet to reveal more surprises
@@emperorofinception3571 Odin is about to have his whole career destroyed
And his face
Tyr would be such a cool character for Kratos to meet seeing as he's the lone good God we've seen in the entire series. Even Kratos is technically a bad guy. Imagine all the Gods of War meeting each other. The Celtic, Mayan, Egyptian, Hindu and Japanese Gods.
GundamGoku to participate in the annual War Games
Only problem: Tyr is dead for years...
What if all God of Wars are just a different interpretation of each other. I mean like Tyr is just the Norse persona of Kratos. All of them look the same but with different temperaments and experiences.
Lol, its highly unlikely but it makes you think.
@@justnoob8141 fate is a lie told by the gods.
@@jj-hl3pz well if you do norse mythology, there is this thing they call the wyrd which is fate or destiny that they cannot change. Most of the gods in the norse mythology knows that they will die come ragnarok and they can't change that, that's why they do their best to prevent it or prolong it.
"you dont miss depth till its gone" as someone who has vision in one eye my god can I say, I FELT that one brother.
3:01 Tyr went to Greece, Egypt, Japan and I think Central/South America.
Sapphirewingthefurrycritic Yeah, Mayans apparently.
that's the celtic triskelion
Hmmm. They did mention how Tyr was able to time travel and also travel into other mythological worlds right??? So maybe he his Kratos in the past cause he has been to the Greek Mythological world right?...idk . This shit is confusing bruh
Saleucami Celtic is closer to Greco Roman than norse
North and Central America, brother, the vast majority of Mayan culture rests in Mexico
So from the missing panel, we got these gods of war (correct me if I'm wrong xnx)
Norse- Tyr (obviously)
Greek- kratos
Celtic- morrigan
Japan- hachiman
Egypt- montu
Edit note: kay first off, I just googled all of this, so if I'm off, I'm off.
No fuss xD
Second, jesus fluffin christ, I didn't think any of my comments would gain this much attention lol
Does Egypt have multiple War Deities? I recall Set and Menchit ("She Who Slaughters"). I could be wrong, :-S
Norse - Tyr
Greek - Kratos(Game), Ares(Mythology)
Japanese - Hachiman
Egyptian - Horus*
i only ggogled my findings
@@scarlet-overdrive67 k
The Morrigan is the Celtic God trio representing the 3 fates. Atropos is one of the 3 and she's the warrior I guess? But they've never been the Celtic god of war I believe
I love this whole sequence of events involving Tyr. It gives Kratos a real introspective of his own unimaginably bloody past as the God of War of his own pantheon, so brutal that legends of him spread across the world, even appearing in Tyr's collection and the Giants' monument. This game gives us so much closure for a man, now old, who was once plagued by so much rage that he can now barely feel it anymore, but still remembers all the pain it brought him.
The storytelling in this game is pure magic.
Ok but is nobody gonna mention how Tyr's stone army is literally just a mimic of the terracotta army?
Mimir failed to mention tyr was 8'5
I mean some of the murals in the game show Tyr is being very tall and way bigger then everyone else even Odin and Thor I never thought Tyr would be that tall
When the story begins everyone does that immediate change of direction in the boat lol
Interesting that at 4:28 every treasure on that table is covered in cobwebs, but the wine has none on it and the vase only has 3 thin strands. This could imply that they have not been there long at all compared to everything else, and that Tyr returned with them not long prior to Kratos entering the Norse realm.
Of course it's also possible that the developers just didn't want to animate 40,000 cobweb strands since Kratos needs to interact with the objects, lol, but still it stands out as odd to me.
There was, though it wasn't as much as others. Like you said, it is interesting, they haven't been there as long as the others.
I still wonder why Atreus hasn’t asked kratos what he is the god of
Because he already figured it out when kratos looks at the war symbols.
Kratos: "Never in one that wasn't trying to eat me"

Pretty sure Tyr is alive, since the panel only shows he's being 'chained' rather than dead.
You right
@@indigo4740 holy shit lmaooo
I like how he was enjoying a scent from his homeland, then when it shows a bit of his past, the music changes, so powerful
Always found it odd how mimir doesnt mention the story of try losing his hand to chain up Fenrir, i know with the twist at then end it would mess up timelines but that is one of Tyr's most famous stories
Didnt happen no one knows
Prob switched it to something else
Kameron Porter maybe but tyr also is the one that makes sure the guard doggo of hel(bascially a more badass Cerberus) doesn’t run rampant on the battlefield of ragnarok
Hasnt happened yet. Fenrir is the child of Loki and Loki is only 12 pr so here
@@Blackhawk211 aye but in this timeline with loki being 12, Tyr is considered dead so it can't happen, which puts quite a few stories into question regarding loki, supposedly Odin was meant to chain loki to a rock to be whipped with poison dripped on his face until ragnarok for what he did to Baldr. Unless they plan to go with the theory that Kratos is either going to take Tyr's place and be the new norse god of war or he was going to become Tyr all along.
Unity and a great team between Atreus, Kratos, Mimir, Freya, Brok, and Sindri. Touching moment that..
Still holding out hope for a peaceful solution to Freya's anger.
When you beat all of the Valkyries, the Queen hints that there will be no peace between Kratos and Freya.
@@JohnSmith-tc1lk then Kratos will kill Freya as well.

@@JohnSmith-tc1lk Sigrun was one hell of a boss fight and her powers are regarded as weaker than freya. Gonna take kratos and atreus everything they got to survive a fight against freya once she gets her wings back
He forgot Jormungandr :(
5:09 I always get goosebumps when kratos picks up the vase with the music change to the deep voices.
What a great storytelling moment.
Mimir is such a great character. I hope he still have the same role in the sequel.
Seems like it!
you're in luck boi
what a nice touch, at 5:00 when Kratos finds the vase depicting his old ways, the music repeats the phrase "Und svíður" 2 times. this translates to "wound burns" signifying just how much Kratos regrets who he was back then. that this secret is a heavy burden to bear
You know, I've never thought of this, but perhaps Tyr saw what happened with the Greek God of War and decided that it would not be the end for his world. He decided he would be different and give peace a chance. Too bad Odin was evil. Perhaps this isn't a story of Kratos, but a story of Tyr's decisions and how Kratos is chosen by fate to be justice for Tyr. A god of war, who decided to give peace a chance despite his nature, was unjustly cut down because of evil. Only a greater more primal evil is needed to bring justice to that.
I love how knowledgeable and wise Mimir is. Also has a good heart. You'd think he was Tyr or something.
Nope
He might be, same right eye he has like Tyr's, probably lost his memory or smthing
mimir is Tyr that's why odin took his memory and keeps torturing him everyday
@@RamezB. Mimit and tyr are two different beings
@@mal4797 mimir is the god of knowledge and wisdom and tyr is the god of war
Kratos seeing himself on greek relics is just an amazing scene.
7:24 you can see Japan and Egypt on the board so developers could make kratos go to Japan and Egypt if they wanted to
And now I'm here again...... Thank you God of War : Ragnarok
Tyr could possible had been the best God of War who ever lived in the Nine Realms.
possibly? hes the only one besides kratos, which lets be honest, not that great for himself or 99.9999% of those around him
I wonder if you will one day do a display of all the Codex pages of Atreus's Journal. There is a rich amount of lore there about the creatures, scrolls, shrines and the like, but nearly no TH-camrs do that.
Just check the wiki.
Iruka5000 The ones in the wiki only depict the drawings, not the info texts though.
Seconded
a bit of an incentive to play the game.

5:16 I just realized the purpose of the urn being broken. Atreus still saw that it depicted Kratos, but he didn't see the pile of corpses Kratos was standing on.
6:10 "I ran out of gods to butcher"
Aphrodite: ahahahshahahaahahahah
@@playlover9680 She took a good pounding dont worry!
One thing I love about the New God of War is that when Kratos has a moment, the music gets so dramatic and deep and you the whole choir just sing in the deepest voice.
It's been 3 years and I'll still never get tired of Alistair Duncan and Christopher Judge's voices.
When you think about it, Tyr is literally the polar opposite of Ares as a God of War.
Tyr: peaceful, resorted to violence as a last resort, preferred diplomacy over combat, despised mindless bloodshed
Ares: lived for violent and bloody combat, openly attacked anyone and everyone, wouldn't stop until everyone on the battlefield was dead
For a war god, Tyr seemed like a really nice guy
That's what it means having command over something compared to him ares maybe was a god of violence or bloodshed but he wasn't very wise but that's just my take on the character.
@@uzairbinshabbir Ares (based on what I saw when watching walkthroughs of the games) seemed to be a bloodthirsty warrior who thrived in combat and death. While he could lend his power to others and command armies of men and monsters, he did not display much concern over their deaths in battle clearly seeing them as a means to an end. He may have been a god of war, but clearly he was not a leader. Kratos was one although by his own admission he doesn't consider himself a good one. Just my impression.
@@emperorofinception3571 Yeah I agree I am loving this new shift in Kratos' personality lets just hope they don't kill him by the end of the series I would appreciate if the ending is somewhat similar to uncharted 4.
@@uzairbinshabbir I would like something of a happy ending for him as well. Or at least a practical ending (which in this case means he doesn't end up killing everyone and everything again). Having never played the uncharted games I don't know what you are referring to. That being said while a part of me is worried about Kratos dying (That is always a possibility in stories, films, or games and it makes things remain interesting) another part of me thinks if he does die it will be the same as his death in God of War 3. Namely a death so that he can go to another region and kill more gods. I honestly am beginning to think that the game writers won't be satisfied until every god in every pantheon is dead one way or another by his hands.
11:00 Sindri casually taking out a 1000 degree brand out of his bag lol
The fact that tyr is going to be at the new god of war game, I just went back here to know what he did
Tyr stands tall ...... literally
10:44 the look at kratos, he probably miss his brother at this moment
Man. That's make me sad.
Tyr was the Norse God of Courage...also he was the only one brave enough to put the chains around Fenrir that cost him his hand and prevented Ragnarok.
but it still happened but he is a good god
I'm calling it now. Kratos is gonna discover where Tyr was imprisoned and bust him out and the two will become best bros and fight side by side in Ragnarok.
art studio udara either that or Kratos gets sent back in time during Ragnarok, and he turns out to be Tyr
XxUltra GamingxX that makes sense since they might”kill him off”

Why would Kratos turn out to be Tyr? Tyr sounds like a completely different individual from Kratos.
@@UnfamiliarIntimacy both are gods of war so that's why but idk how Kratos could be Tyr. I don't see any possible way. I cant imagine Krstos being loved by all.
I can imagine Mimir being Tyr, with a curse by Odin to forget his life- he does seem to know everything and a lot of ppl and liked by everyone.
O k
Problem is that Mimir is a completely different entity in Norse Myth so I don't see how he could be Tyr either.
Tyr's past is Kratos's future.
5:21 always make me laugh to dead
A masterpiece of a game and a very beautiful and respectful look into Norse Paganism
Its almost like Tyr designed his entire temple and its trials so that only Kratos could complete them. Kratos also seems to have the exact same principles as Tyr, he is well-traveled and knows of other pantheons just like Tyr, he held the exact same divine title as Tyr, he befriended the Giants just like Tyr, he married a Giant.... who believed enough in him enough to have a child with him and etch a series of events about the both of them onto a wall in her realm. Tyr either goes back in time to start the entire prophecy of Ragnarok, or Kratos somehow becomes Tyr himself. Tyr is even shown on a mural giving a talisman that represents day/night (Skoll/Hati) to the Greeks... which they sorely would've needed after Kratos killed Helios... they feud with Thor, Faye gifts Kratos an axe that can rival Mjolnir... and on and on. It would be a pretty Tyr thing to do, given the way Mimir describes him, to write a prophecy about Kratos for Faye ... especially given Kratos' hard stance against fate.
SPOILERS
Nope, they're two different people. It's most likely that the giants told them of Kratos and Atreus' journey so he could make his temple puzzle for them. As for Týr himself, he's a master of inner peace, patience, wisdom, and willpower.
07:55 this moment is when Atreus realised that his father was the God Of War, and is obviously disheartened by it
This is top-Tyr storytelling.
"We can flip the temple."
"What."
Nice refresher course before Ragnarok comes out
Who’s here after the God of War Ragnarok trailer?
I knew he was going to be a badass looking individual, but god damn is he tall. Specially compared to the Greek God of War
Yeah dude was towering over Kratos geez
Glowing eyes and seriously bored face
All that’s left if for him to say
Your already dead
25:10 that little 'Wot' from Kratos slayed me
"you said there was a path. the temple can be flipped."
"So we should flip the temple.. that logic is infallible!"
i love the exchanges between Mimir and Kratos they're so much fun!
tbh Tyr really is such an interesting character and i really wish i would have seen more of him, he’s literally the polar opposite of Kratos. Kratos inherited the role of being the God of War and was as vicious as gods themselves. He was full of rage, anger, and vengeance and he knew nothing but the art of war. Yet Tyr while being the God of War used his power for peace and spreading knowledge. He would also travel outside his own realm to seek other gods wisdom and knowledge kinda how Uncle Iroh went to other nations for wisdom and knowledge. Such an amazing character i hope he isn’t dead but if he is then what an amazing off screen character.
Well good news my friend
@@indigo4740 I KNOW I JUST SAW HAHA 🔥 PS4 went all out
He lives. And he is ready!
3:00 Mural has depiction of GREEK, EGYPTIAN, JAPANESE, & MAYAN/AZTEC (1 of those).
a starving african child IDK. That's up to the studio to plan and explore.
+Chris Carter Vol. 1 you mean 7:36 ? Sure. But at 3:00 it's Mayan/Aztec pyramids.
Aztec more like. Mayans were mostly peaceful
Jonny Morris Celtic
Is it just me or Týr's story felt wholesome? "The God of War... Who fought for peace instead." Kratos visibly felt different hearing those words.
I like Tyr. What a guy.
Opening heavy doors is what made Kratos strong. What an excellent exercise. Working out shoulders, triceps and back. 💪
Who’s here after seeing how tall Tyr is
I guess the panels showed him to be tall because he was almost the giant’s height?
@@acemarvel1564 that’s because giants aren’t actual giants, it’s what their race is called. The girl winking and smiling at the end of the god of war ragnarok is 1 of the last remaining giants. As the director explained later on. So it’s gonna be interesting since the claim in god of war 2018 was that tyr was dead and all the giants wiped out.
@@a.d2019 I’m only kidding
@@acemarvel1564 no you’re right tho I mean look at Thamur
@@youtubeboomin6429 or the sea of fallen giants that Kratos and Atreus witnesssed from the top of the Jotunheim peak.
My head cannon is that Kratos is secretly a massive history geek and enjoys learning about tales from other lands- thus why he never interrupted Mimir’s stories like I honestly expected him to
it's the unity stone! I guess Thanos missed that one.
