This is actually HIGHLY interesting. For many speculative reasons. Because the Greek gods actually DO have some roots in Egypt. In some recounts, when Zeus fought Typhon, the Greek gods were forced to flee to Egypt by turning into animals like a fish, a cat, an ox, etc. This was used to tie-into and explain why so many Egyptian gods have animal heads, sort of a merging of mythologies in "the most ambitious crossover in history." But Zeus actually becomes Amun, who is known as an oracular god and supposedly the ruler of the Egyptian pantheon. LONG TANGENT. This scribe keeps talking about destiny and kept following Kratos, haunting him. Could he have been Amun, another incarnate of Zeus, his father? It would be horrifying to see Zeus has not died, but simply have his influence of power shift elsewhere, the way many gods do. Kratos also met many talking animals who echo the sentiment of him running from destiny. Could they be the other Greek gods haunting him, but in the animal forms they fled to Egypt as? (Yes, I know most of the animals don't match, except the crane, who could be Hermes an ibis, Thoth.) It's also almost a bit poetic how the scribe sends Kratos off with "Good fortune as your path carries you away from you." which could be seen as an encouragement to Kratos going along his long path of change; to finally be a different person, a different god, from what he is now at the end of Ragnarok. Also, haven't read the comic, so I'm not sure if Comicstorian is just dramatizing it, but saying "the sky darkened " could be a nod to a shadow of Zeus's power slipping through the cracks, foreshadowing his new form as this old scribe, as Amun. Of course, this is just speculative, I'm not an expert, and please don't rip me a new one if I made any errors. I'm just theorizing from the limited knowledge I have of the myths.
@@rivy-lurk-869 I probably won’t experience GOW: Ragnorok for a few years, if ever, since I’m a PC player. Granted I could watch videos of other people playing the game… It won’t feel the same.
The original concept for the switch of mythologies was going to be a switch to Egypt. We can assume that each area has their own pantheon, so Midgard is just an area that he walked to that happened to have a gateway to other realms (the world tree) with their own pantheon.
After GoW: Ragnarok, this got me thinking. Do you see the realm Thoth and Athena are in at the end of the comic? Maybe that is the realm where the origin of creation itself exist. It's possible that the answers Odin would've found with his mask is a direct gateway within this realm
@@gagepodrybau1720 Yup. Same with Ymir. In Norse mythology, Ymir is known as the first being. The fact that Odin says right after he killed Ymir that this was the place where the rift first formed, his origin could be a testament as to why it did. Do you wanna read the full theory I posted on reddit? It'll give a better explanation to my OP
Just as I’ve finished God of war 1, 2 & 3 I go looking for what happened after 3… it’s hard to believe he’s gone. But he’s still here. He’s still teaching me. Still informing me. God love him.
Yeah I think it’s cannon because in the game Atreus asked why didn’t he threw threw blades of chaos in the river if he hates them so much. He answered that he tried but they returned
There was also one other event that’s apparently canon, and that’s the crossover fight in Shovel Knight. There’s a few problems with continuity in the fight such as the Nemian Cestus, but Cory Barlog confirmed it himself that the fight IS canon taking place on Kratos’s journey from Athens to Scandinavia, and I’ll take his word for it since it is basically the word of God (of War).
What’s funny is Dark horse also did published a Non-Marvel Loki comic, it’s a collection of all of his adventures and Pranks he did over the Years. They even included the Part where he had to “Distract” the Horse, Loki was literally Frowning while the Horse was going to town on him…
I think there's another digital comic free on ps store that kinda describes his pre game story in norse mythology with some brief flashback on how he met Faye, his norse giant wife. But still not much detailed, probably through some easter egg in game we might find
Benny's voice acting is on par with ragnarok! Thats saying a lot, cuz the voice acting in ragnarok is fuckin phenomenal! Thanks for sharing your talent and comics with us, Benny!
😂 kratos relationship with the blades is similar to siegfried from Soul calibur and how he kept running and everytime he slept, soul edge appears next to him
Maybe he was having a mystical journey. Bit like how Odin was seeking knowledge in places outside his realm of experience, Kratos might have been subconsciously looking for a way home, or a new place to call home, which he would find in Laufey and Atreus eventually.
The reason why The Mythologies never attacked each is other is because of the fact they lose their own powers after leaving their own territory. They still have their godly rights though. Such as their physical strength and speed. Their weapons also keep their basic properties but don't keep any abilities. Like how Kratos's blades still have their fire. Kratos is that much of a Chad to be able to end another Mythology without using any prior abilities earned
I wouldn't be surprised if I finally saw comicstorian voice acting in an animated series, dude does every voice in the comics and now he's nailing a kratos impression???? Dudes got mappa talent
"This really doesn't answer much." Yeah no kidding. All it shows is Kratos being unable to get rid of the Blades of Chaos and then killing some fucking hippo thing.
I think the "Blades of Chaos" are drawn to Kratos because he brings forth "peace-ish" in his violent wake. The Blades of Chaos could be attracted to Kratos mainly because these blades are attracted to Chaos and Kratos will always find himself in that position. To contrast, the Blades symbolize "Peace" after a necessary war. Something that we can see Kratos doing here.....sort of.
They are bound to his soul since their former owner Ares no longer exists, Kratos is the rightful owner of it. It's basically bound to his soul unlike his other abilities in GOW3 which he stole from other gods. Basically, everything he took and acquired during the events of the first three games no longer applies to him in the Norse world because those elemental powers are bound and tied to the Greek world, the greek pantheon's abilities like time manipulation (sisters of fate), blade of Olympus (which is made of elements belonging to the greek part of the world) and claw of hades, etc etc, etc. all of them are bound to the Greek homeland because the original owners, (greek gods) died there. The Blades of Chaos are tied to Kratos's soul, wherever he goes, they will follow no matter what. That's why he doesn't have any other abilities in the 2018 God of War other than the blades.
@@dabaruknemuhar1981 ah! Ok. But, here's comes my confusion. How the heck did Kratos end up in Norse? Based on a comic I saw on YT, the Greek world seems to also be apart of our world (fantasy version) where other fictional beings from other cultures also exist, like the central Asians and Egyptians. So, based on that, wouldn't the realm of Norse be another one of the realms on Fantasy Earth?
@@negativeplayer4446 I'm not sure how he ended up in Norse but it could be that Planet Earth in the God of War series is ridiculously large, maybe it is about as large as the Andromeda galaxy or something which is how so many pantheons exist on one planet and these different realms that exist are pocket dimensions that some gods can traverse and access. It is a Planet that is so vast it requires more than 1 sun and moon for each pantheon and culture and more ocean and land. So on one hand, you have Helios in the Greek part of the Planet aka the god of the Sun, and on the other hand in the Norse part of the Planet, you have wolves chasing the sun and moon. So maybe all these different pantheons exist on the same planet which itself is near-infinitely large, so much so that the gods themselves believe their world is the only one...when it's actually just a small fraction of the larger planet. As for the realms? Pocket dimensions or a different reality (the tree of Yggdrasil and all the 9 realms) could be pocket dimensions like Helheim, Asgard, Vanirheim and so on, they could be different realities all connected by the tree in another dimension. Midgard is the real Earth where you will find the Greek gods on the far side of the world because unlike the Norse gods, the Greek gods don't have access to other dimensions hence why Olympus is one big mountain while Asgard is a different dimension. But that's what I think, I'm not sure if it is canon or not.
@@WonkyTonkBotty Who's Cory Barlog? Did he write the Kratos comics? Was he a writer for the original GoW trilogy? Never heard of him. And yeah I'm not surprised whoever this is took inspiration from some hulk comics, it's very obvious between the parallels but I don't mind since Hulk was my favorite character in marvel comics and I think the GoW story and character development is done very well
*Many Years later* *Kratos:* I once walked in circles, then I faced a giant croc then a giant hippopotamus before curled into a ball. *Atreus:* I'm sorry father but what?
I always saw it as in 4 it's shown that Tyr used the unity stone to go to other lands, and he even had Greek gifts, my thought was at the end of god of war 3 after he fell from the mountain he drifted on the sea till a portal Tyr opened up using the unity stone to visit the Greek realm without realizing kratos slipped into it, seeing how the unity stone was able to bring a whole tower from the space between I can assume the size of a portal made by it would be large
@@notusgodwind4512 They were bothering him and trying to make him a slave to fate again by facing that creature. I think it's more than enough reason, considering his character, to just slaughter them.
So after some research ( 5 mins on google) i've concluded that Kratos killed 2 egyptian gods, Sobek and Taweret, in this adventure without really trying.
Lol kratos forgetting that his blades are connected to chains wrapped around his hands so every time he throws it and turns away he is simply dragging it along by him.
And they want people to pay money for this garbage the balls on Sony and the Developers. It doesn't help that that the developers are too damn lazy to explain this in the game so we still have absolutely zero clue anout how they met and how their romance came to be
Don't you think they left it out for a reason? Maybe for the sequel where it would make sense? She's shrouded in mystery for a reason, use your brain please?
@@WhyAreYouLagging Shrouded in mystery? The characters in both games explicity tell stories on the things that she have done when she was alive, including how she met Kratos and how she fought Thor. Since Ragnarok is the last of the Norse mythology arc, showing how Kratos arrives in the world should have been no problem for this comic, especially since the sequel game itself did not even show how that happened.
In my headcanon, before watching this video, I always imagined that after Kratos's second failed attempt to take his own life, he realized he's been cursed by Zeus to never be able to take his own life to find the peace he's been so desperately craving for and is doomed to walk the earth until he dies in battle. He wanders the world searching for an opponent who could best him in combat, but it always ends in failure; this is Kratos we're talking about; almost no one could match him. What hope does the God Killer have to find anyone who could kill him? Then he hears about Thor and moves to Midgard but meets Laufey instead. They fight, and in the middle of the fight, Faye begins to show Kratos mercy even when Kratos constantly demands her to resist him and is close to chopping her head off in anger at missing another chance at peace. Still, her kindness calms him down, and he eventually relents. Zeus' curse is ironically a gift of a second chance of redemption Kratos wanted from the franchise's beginning.
If anyone is wondering if the other Pantheons of gods knew about one another.. YES, they do. Remember that Tyr was connected to atleast 3 other pantheons aside from the Greek Gods (Egypt, Japanese and I think the other one was Celtic)

The original concept for the switch of mythologies was going to be a switch to Egypt. We can assume that each area has their own pantheon, so Midgard is just an area that he walked to that happened to have a gateway to other realms (the world tree) with their own pantheon.
You know it’s hard keeping up with comics, when there is no comic book stores 😢
You could just buy online not being that i what do to because there comics book store here either
read comic online is free
After GoW: Ragnarok, this got me thinking. Do you see the realm Thoth and Athena are in at the end of the comic? Maybe that is the realm where the origin of creation itself exist. It's possible that the answers Odin would've found with his mask is a direct gateway within this realm
Well yes considering that Thoth was there dam near in the beginning of creation considering he is the scribe of Nun in Egyptian creation lore
@@gagepodrybau1720 Yup. Same with Ymir. In Norse mythology, Ymir is known as the first being. The fact that Odin says right after he killed Ymir that this was the place where the rift first formed, his origin could be a testament as to why it did. Do you wanna read the full theory I posted on reddit? It'll give a better explanation to my OP
Just as I’ve finished God of war 1, 2 & 3 I go looking for what happened after 3… it’s hard to believe he’s gone. But he’s still here. He’s still teaching me. Still informing me. God love him.
Yeah I think it’s cannon because in the game Atreus asked why didn’t he threw threw blades of chaos in the river if he hates them so much. He answered that he tried but they returned
There was also one other event that’s apparently canon, and that’s the crossover fight in Shovel Knight. There’s a few problems with continuity in the fight such as the Nemian Cestus, but Cory Barlog confirmed it himself that the fight IS canon taking place on Kratos’s journey from Athens to Scandinavia, and I’ll take his word for it since it is basically the word of God (of War).
7:37 damn good Kratos impression sounded like TC Carson there
So before Norse he lost his way to Egypt first?? Man Kratos should team up with Zoro to find One Piece together.
😂
Watching this was cool. Sounded like Vegeta almost the whole time and made me realize they are not so different when it comes to attitude 🤣
What’s funny is Dark horse also did published a Non-Marvel Loki comic, it’s a collection of all of his adventures and Pranks he did over the Years.
They even included the Part where he had to “Distract” the Horse, Loki was literally Frowning while the Horse was going to town on him…
THIS NEEDS ITS OWN GAME
True
A dlc, right?
A spin off?
a prequel to 2018 with a mixed gamepkay style of the classics and the newer ones would be perfect
Kratos is great love hearing story’s about him or playing the games we Need a movie or animated series
Trying not to cry rip man
I think there's another digital comic free on ps store that kinda describes his pre game story in norse mythology with some brief flashback on how he met Faye, his norse giant wife. But still not much detailed, probably through some easter egg in game we might find
Benny's voice acting is on par with ragnarok! Thats saying a lot, cuz the voice acting in ragnarok is fuckin phenomenal! Thanks for sharing your talent and comics with us, Benny!
does anyone don't want to talk about how good he is for doing voice impression to our god of war?
I gotta say your Kratos’s voice is so on point.
😂 kratos relationship with the blades is similar to siegfried from Soul calibur and how he kept running and everytime he slept, soul edge appears next to him
Maybe he was having a mystical journey. Bit like how Odin was seeking knowledge in places outside his realm of experience, Kratos might have been subconsciously looking for a way home, or a new place to call home, which he would find in Laufey and Atreus eventually.
Your kratos voice is actually pretty good, very enjoyable
The reason why The Mythologies never attacked each is other is because of the fact they lose their own powers after leaving their own territory. They still have their godly rights though. Such as their physical strength and speed. Their weapons also keep their basic properties but don't keep any abilities. Like how Kratos's blades still have their fire. Kratos is that much of a Chad to be able to end another Mythology without using any prior abilities earned
What prior abilities did kratos have I thought it was just strength with his god hood
@@michaelhardiman4747 i think just bast boosted capabilities in all manners
@@michaelhardiman4747 power of hope and all the other stuff he got from gods he killed
Benny, I miss you man... Thank you reading for us
Your Kratos impression is pretty damn good man, it’s a tough one to pull off kudos
Imagine Kratos going to Egypt after ragnarok..
Ra(God of sun): "hi"
Kratos: "oh sht here we go again..."
Still hunted by Athena and she just vanished in Ragnarok lol
I wouldn't be surprised if I finally saw comicstorian voice acting in an animated series, dude does every voice in the comics and now he's nailing a kratos impression????
Dudes got mappa talent
Kratos struggling against a hippo but then immediately put it down once he retrieved his blades doesn’t make sense
He holds back a lot according to GoW 2018 and Ragnarok
that was a good "NOO!" at 3:59.
That Kratos imitation is sooo goood!
And also I love such vids as these comics are not available in my country
9:00 This made me feel like I was having a stroke...
I won't lie Ragnarok is a masterpiece seriously
"This really doesn't answer much."
Yeah no kidding. All it shows is Kratos being unable to get rid of the Blades of Chaos and then killing some fucking hippo thing.
I think the "Blades of Chaos" are drawn to Kratos because he brings forth "peace-ish" in his violent wake.
The Blades of Chaos could be attracted to Kratos mainly because these blades are attracted to Chaos and Kratos will always find himself in that position.
To contrast, the Blades symbolize "Peace" after a necessary war. Something that we can see Kratos doing here.....sort of.
They are bound to his soul since their former owner Ares no longer exists, Kratos is the rightful owner of it. It's basically bound to his soul unlike his other abilities in GOW3 which he stole from other gods.
Basically, everything he took and acquired during the events of the first three games no longer applies to him in the Norse world because those elemental powers are bound and tied to the Greek world, the greek pantheon's abilities like time manipulation (sisters of fate), blade of Olympus (which is made of elements belonging to the greek part of the world) and claw of hades, etc etc, etc. all of them are bound to the Greek homeland because the original owners, (greek gods) died there.
The Blades of Chaos are tied to Kratos's soul, wherever he goes, they will follow no matter what. That's why he doesn't have any other abilities in the 2018 God of War other than the blades.
@@dabaruknemuhar1981 ah! Ok.
But, here's comes my confusion. How the heck did Kratos end up in Norse?
Based on a comic I saw on YT, the Greek world seems to also be apart of our world (fantasy version) where other fictional beings from other cultures also exist, like the central Asians and Egyptians.
So, based on that, wouldn't the realm of Norse be another one of the realms on Fantasy Earth?
@@negativeplayer4446 I'm not sure how he ended up in Norse but it could be that Planet Earth in the God of War series is ridiculously large, maybe it is about as large as the Andromeda galaxy or something which is how so many pantheons exist on one planet and these different realms that exist are pocket dimensions that some gods can traverse and access.
It is a Planet that is so vast it requires more than 1 sun and moon for each pantheon and culture and more ocean and land. So on one hand, you have Helios in the Greek part of the Planet aka the god of the Sun, and on the other hand in the Norse part of the Planet, you have wolves chasing the sun and moon. So maybe all these different pantheons exist on the same planet which itself is near-infinitely large, so much so that the gods themselves believe their world is the only one...when it's actually just a small fraction of the larger planet.
As for the realms? Pocket dimensions or a different reality (the tree of Yggdrasil and all the 9 realms) could be pocket dimensions like Helheim, Asgard, Vanirheim and so on, they could be different realities all connected by the tree in another dimension. Midgard is the real Earth where you will find the Greek gods on the far side of the world because unlike the Norse gods, the Greek gods don't have access to other dimensions hence why Olympus is one big mountain while Asgard is a different dimension.
But that's what I think, I'm not sure if it is canon or not.
I thought i was having a stroke at 09:00 😂
Awesome video though!
I guess this at least confirms in a way that the mythologies are quite literally near each other
The fact that bro almost sounds like TC Carson makes the story better
Your Kratos voice-over is awesome! 🔥
Kratos reminds me of hulk in this comic. Super angry, wants to be left alone lol
Cory Barlog explicitly said Greek-Kratos was the Hulk, and Norse-Kratos is his normal Bruce Banner self.
@@WonkyTonkBotty Who's Cory Barlog? Did he write the Kratos comics? Was he a writer for the original GoW trilogy? Never heard of him.
And yeah I'm not surprised whoever this is took inspiration from some hulk comics, it's very obvious between the parallels but I don't mind since Hulk was my favorite character in marvel comics and I think the GoW story and character development is done very well
@@Hybred Cory Barlog directed GoW2 and GoW2018.
We miss you rip my good fellow rip
RIP bro, i always loved your narration
Imagine the blades just walking back on their blade tips like two legs
Dude... Ur kratos voice is damn near perfect. FUCKING well done !!!
The voice you gave the scribe kinda sounded like Sean Connery for his first few lines🤣
Idk if it's just me but I'm gonna appreciate the accuracy of the kratos voice he has
Given how Greece and Norway are on Earth, I'm betting he took a really long boat cruise
*Many Years later*
*Kratos:* I once walked in circles, then I faced a giant croc then a giant hippopotamus before curled into a ball.
*Atreus:* I'm sorry father but what?
I loved the part when Kratos got to Norse Mythology. That was my favourite part.
That is a good question that everybody who's a fan of God of War wants to know
I always saw it as in 4 it's shown that Tyr used the unity stone to go to other lands, and he even had Greek gifts, my thought was at the end of god of war 3 after he fell from the mountain he drifted on the sea till a portal Tyr opened up using the unity stone to visit the Greek realm without realizing kratos slipped into it, seeing how the unity stone was able to bring a whole tower from the space between I can assume the size of a portal made by it would be large
The story:you can't fight destiny.
Kratos:*literally killed the personification of fate in his homeland and defied a death prophesy.*
Surprised he didn't just tear the Egyptian pantheon apart for telling him what to do.
But they didn't have anything to do with his problems
@@notusgodwind4512 They were bothering him and trying to make him a slave to fate again by facing that creature. I think it's more than enough reason, considering his character, to just slaughter them.
Love your Egyptian scribe sounding like Sean Connery for SNL Celebrity Jeopardy. "Kratos is coming for you, Trebek."
So after some research ( 5 mins on google) i've concluded that Kratos killed 2 egyptian gods, Sobek and Taweret, in this adventure without really trying.
Kratos and Atreus must go to Egypt in order to fight Dio
Lol kratos forgetting that his blades are connected to chains wrapped around his hands so every time he throws it and turns away he is simply dragging it along by him.
That would make for a hilarious sketch 😂
That's hilarious 😆
“WHY WON’T THEY DISAPPEAR?!!”
we miss you
Scribe: Would you let all these innocents di-
Kratos: HYUCK I'LL DO IT AGAIN
Well, that was...disappointing. They didn't even show how Kratos and Faye met in this comic.
And they want people to pay money for this garbage the balls on Sony and the Developers. It doesn't help that that the developers are too damn lazy to explain this in the game so we still have absolutely zero clue anout how they met and how their romance came to be
@@mariobadia4553 right
They met on Tinder.😎
Don't you think they left it out for a reason? Maybe for the sequel where it would make sense? She's shrouded in mystery for a reason, use your brain please?
@@WhyAreYouLagging Shrouded in mystery? The characters in both games explicity tell stories on the things that she have done when she was alive, including how she met Kratos and how she fought Thor. Since Ragnarok is the last of the Norse mythology arc, showing how Kratos arrives in the world should have been no problem for this comic, especially since the sequel game itself did not even show how that happened.
And I think the crocodile creature was a monster from this... Before they drafted God of war.
I'd really hope to see him and his son reunited when his son is grown.
I love how his beard is slowly growing in
This kinda reminds me of Egyptian mythology. pharaohs, crocodile, hippopotamus, it all kinda connects to Egypt
In my headcanon, before watching this video, I always imagined that after Kratos's second failed attempt to take his own life, he realized he's been cursed by Zeus to never be able to take his own life to find the peace he's been so desperately craving for and is doomed to walk the earth until he dies in battle. He wanders the world searching for an opponent who could best him in combat, but it always ends in failure; this is Kratos we're talking about; almost no one could match him. What hope does the God Killer have to find anyone who could kill him?
Then he hears about Thor and moves to Midgard but meets Laufey instead. They fight, and in the middle of the fight, Faye begins to show Kratos mercy even when Kratos constantly demands her to resist him and is close to chopping her head off in anger at missing another chance at peace. Still, her kindness calms him down, and he eventually relents.
Zeus' curse is ironically a gift of a second chance of redemption Kratos wanted from the franchise's beginning.
If anyone is wondering if the other Pantheons of gods knew about one another.. YES, they do. Remember that Tyr was connected to atleast 3 other pantheons aside from the Greek Gods (Egypt, Japanese and I think the other one was Celtic)
he also visited native americans and brought back dream catchers
Our county doesn't even have any comic book story. Thank you for this!
Thoth isn’t a crane, he’s an ibis.
