Zeus is even more evil than you think. This is he who caused Kratos to lose everything. Ares is just a god who was sent by Zeus to get rid of Kratos' brother Deimos when they were kids. Then Ares took wife and child from Kratos by marking him a warrior who is killing many innocent lives. Ares was only the beginning of Kratos' vengeance. The most painful part is how his own father would betray his own son. I would say even Odin is a good example how Zeus worked before. He is a big liar and manipulator.
@@ewapiksrandeb3966 Like said above, Zeus and the other gods got all mad at Kratos because of the fear from pandora's box. Before that they were dicks, but reasonable ones.
Funny thing is Odin was talked about to be master in disguise when Zeus in GOW trilogy was like Odin himself in disguise. Many of fans are unaware of Zeus being gravedigger.
I remember playing the challenge mode for one of the god of war games (I think it was ghost of sparta) and I saw the gravedigger was a playable character. I picked him and thought "ok, this ought to be good for a laugh". So I picked him and when the game loaded, he picked up his shovel, struck the ground and turned into zeus and I was just like 😯.
Can we appreciate that these kind of cutscenes disproves every statement that Kratos was just “mindless rageful brute” and “killed everyone on sight” in old games?
Yeah, I've never heard anyone say he killed everyone on sight but, he did become kind of a mindless brute. That's why he has the regrets and whatnot that he has in the new games tbh. Some deaths and the destruction of his homeland and family could have been avoided if someone like Mimir was there to have helped him think things through.
Zeus had no more need for it probably. All that it could be used for probably would be to taunt Kratos with but he most likely didn't want to risk Kratos getting an easy shot at him.
I think by gow3 since kratos let all the evil out of the box zeus probably wasn’t thinking straight anymore from what athena said at the end of the game
Seeing how Zeus could disguise/transform himself like this and the bird in GOW2 it makes sense why Atreus gained the ability to shape shift into animals
and unlike odin, kratos never found it was zeus and even other gods as well and was patient unlike odin who dropped his to kill brok whi accusations and questions that he could have just asked
The gravedigger basically implied himself to be not just a god but a powerful one at that... You can basically make an educated guess and wouldn't be far off...
@@陳潔明-w6yCould be anyone. Pretty much any Greek god could do what the Gravedigger did. Maybe Kratos could suspect that he was Zeus' pawn, but Zeus himself in the flesh wouldnt be so obvious. The only indication is that its breaching Hades' souvereign domain, and that indeed would be only done by either an very daring God or Zeus himself.
Zues, in the actual Myths we learn in school, is said to do these sorts of things. I guess the developers assumed you have a basic education and it is heavily implied
@@kianmarcial8884 Oh I forgot; after you beat the game you unlock "deleted" cutscenes & one describes Zeus being his father and turning Kratos' mother into a gorgon & Kratos killed her too. Geez rough life
Indeed, since they're both HUGE influences on their respective families's lives, not to mention the promiscuity.he best part is that in the fanfic "Dark Mirror", you can see traits of Zeus in him (the arrogance and superiority complex). A meeting between those two would be interesting indeed.
It's so cool his V.A is the same as Max Tennyson. The two meeting each other would be funny, Zeus probably trying to groom his grandchildren into puppets...
Whenever people say "Kratos can't die, he'd just crawl out of hell! He's done it so many times!" He's been _helped out of hell_ several times. If Zeus hadn't resurrected him - i.e, thrown down that rope - he would've been stuck down there forever.
Ghost of Sparta gives players a hint to understand it closer😂 But in GoW1 right after this scene we see Ares with Pandora's box calling Zeus.Isn't it an Accident?
God of War 1 is my favourite game. It has great plot and doesn’t show that the rest of the Olympian Gods as power hungry monsters like in the other games. (It isn’t surprising, most of the huge USA companies like very much to mock and charge the ancient Hellenic History for profits and for type of propaganda especially today) This game has great beginning and very good ending.
The best part is that in the fanfic "Dark Mirror", you can see traits of Zeus in him (the arrogance and superiority complex). Heck ! Even in canon, you can. It's implied after all the man used to be a player in his youth. A meeting between those two would be interesting indeed.
Ещё в 2005 году когда я проходил Бога Войны я догадывался что это Зевс в образе копателя могил, во первых он называет Кратоса сыном, хотя в этой части не упоминается то что у него был отец, во вторых Кратос представлен очень сильным что даёт ему Божественную природу, ведь обычный человек не может поднимать самостоятельно сотни килограмм, швырять чудовищ на 40 метров, убивать циклопов и минотавров, а значит Кратос был наделен силой Бога, в 3 старик в буквальном смысле испарялся в воздухе и предсказал будущее Кратоса, чего обычный человек сделать не может, на 100% я не был уверен что это Зевс, думал что это могла бы быть галлюцинация, но когда он выкопал яму в Царство Аида и встретился с Кратосом снова, я понял что это самый настоящий Зевс, тот кого мы и искали все последующие части, а Арес его сын задача Кратоса что бы избавиться от кошмаров прошлого, убийство Бога который обманом воспользовался главным героем.
When I was younger I thought that little dirt on his hair were his ears, making it seem as if he was some sort of elf guy I wasn't paying much attention the 1st time I played this lol
and here we know who actually betrayed kratos is actually athena she tried manipulated kratos to steal the pandora box to defeat ares and yet athena know it was wield a fear and hope power hoping hope power to goes inside kratos and fear into gods. athena play his last role in ending god of war when she died in kratos blade of olympus, she was jumping not to save zeus but trying to get killed. bcz all his preparation is almost complete athena become higher existance, then comeback in god of war 3, wanted gods and olympus all crumble into dust and also zeus. thats why kratos is confuse when he meet again why she live again in an astral appearance. but again athena easly manipulated kratos once more because he was blind by vengeance to zeus and the gods. after killing zeus kratos realize what he done is terrible and realize athena is fooling him all this time, manipulated him, using him as a pawn. when athena wanted to take his power back (Hope) kratos refuse and said "the box was empty" (pandora box) clearly kratos knew what power athena wanted from him. then he stabbed himself to unleashed the HOPE power into sky, knowing athena wanted to be ruler and the only god in whole pantheon. this just my theory guys but im confidence enough to tell this to you all. maybe my theory was wrong maybe not all wrong and some of it make any sense.
The clues were there all along.
"Don't disturb me now son."
"Athena isn't the only God watching over you."
"I'll be there to help"
As he pretended to help Kratos in GOW 2 by offering him the Blade of Olympus to defeat Colossus only for Kratos to drain his remaining powers into that turning him mortal once again.
It's cool to see Zeus not acting like a total dick.
Bcs it was before opening pandora's box and freeing fear to gods. Zeus was pretty nice, Ares was true villain of all these.
What does Zeus act like outside of his lustful and womanizing nature?

GoW1 Kratos: Lord Zeus
GoW2-3 Kratos: ZOOOOOOS!
I DO NOT NEED YOUR HELP ZOOS! I can TAKE down this BEAST!!!

Normies who only beat GoW III say that, true fans who went through all Kratos adventures know that's super false
@NinjaXFiles even in that game he doesn't just kill people on sight. But yeah I get what you mean
Thank you
So this creepy old man was zeus all the time I finished this game many times and never knew this 😂
well you should have played the second one hahaha
After that scene,Ares was calling Zeus. Accident?
@@gene3169not tha second one. Ghost of Sparta, when you play as the Gravedigger, he'll transform into Zeus
The Gravedigger's voice actor (Paul Eiding) also voices Zeus in GoW 1. I'm surprised you didn't notice that.
@@javiervasquez625Probably because people are more used to hearing Corey Burton's iconic Zeus voice.
It was a shame we never saw old man disguised Zeus again in GoW3
Zeus had no more need for it probably. All that it could be used for probably would be to taunt Kratos with but he most likely didn't want to risk Kratos getting an easy shot at him.
I think by gow3 since kratos let all the evil out of the box zeus probably wasn’t thinking straight anymore from what athena said at the end of the game
U can see him in gow ghost of Sparta
This was such a good twist . It was confusing in the beginning but it all connected in the end. This is one of the reasons why Gow 1 is goat
Seeing how Zeus could disguise/transform himself like this and the bird in GOW2 it makes sense why Atreus gained the ability to shape shift into animals
True, and Loki is a shapeshifter in real myth
This Zeus guy seems pretty chill
This was before he and the other gods got corrupted by the box
Funny how Odin didn't do much different
How things would have gone if kratos beat Aries without opening Pandora's box.
Farther son fishing trips, maybe.😂
Without opening the box he wouldve died
@@KamusariHRyea kratos was an untrained Demi god at this point would’ve never beat Aries
The grave digger’s voice actor is colonel Campbell from metal gear solid
Read the title as kratos meets Zeus as a golddigger
"Though I've got a lot of digging to do, indeed" is a most Zeus statement.
One of the best moments in the series and u gotta love how confused Kratos gets when he first meets the gravedigger kinda funny
Zeus was better at playing imposter than Odin
and unlike odin, kratos never found it was zeus and even other gods as well and was patient unlike odin who dropped his to kill brok whi accusations and questions that he could have just asked
The gravedigger basically implied himself to be not just a god but a powerful one at that...

And he was more of a Threat to Kratos compared to Odin
Also you forgot the scene when he digged the grave for Kratos' brother.
Zues, in the actual Myths we learn in school, is said to do these sorts of things. I guess the developers assumed you have a basic education and it is heavily implied
I mean that plus him calling kratos "son". Knowing what we know now, it was actually pretty on the nose
@@kianmarcial8884 Oh I forgot; after you beat the game you unlock "deleted" cutscenes & one describes Zeus being his father and turning Kratos' mother into a gorgon & Kratos killed her too. Geez rough life
Zeus*
Grave Digger/Zeus in his mind be like:Your father my son 😊
Grandpa max being zeus is weirdly fitting
Did you know from Ben 10?😂, i am did too either
Indeed, since they're both HUGE influences on their respective families's lives, not to mention the promiscuity.he best part is that in the fanfic "Dark Mirror", you can see traits of Zeus in him (the arrogance and superiority complex).

Wait thats the same dude who voiced Bens Grandad never knew
its funny to think that the shovel is actually the blade of olympus!
Now.. Only one, remains.
Holy shit it's grandpa max
colonel Campbell
I was waiting for some one to upload this ❤❤❤
It's so cool his V.A is the same as Max Tennyson. The two meeting each other would be funny, Zeus probably trying to groom his grandchildren into puppets...
whats up my digger
Zeus was selfish even as gravedigger he helped kratos only for his own good 😂
Whenever people say "Kratos can't die, he'd just crawl out of hell! He's done it so many times!"
He's been _helped out of hell_ several times. If Zeus hadn't resurrected him - i.e, thrown down that rope - he would've been stuck down there forever.
How’d you know it’s Zeus? It could have been any god couldn’t it? Or I miss some dialogue that confirmed it was Zeus?
Ghost of Sparta confirmed it was him, when you choose the gravedigger in the post game Arena it automatically turns into Zeus
Zeus does make a sort of appearance in this game. Both him and the gravedigger apparently share the same voice actor.
It was confirmed in Ghost of Sparta
Ghost of Sparta gives players a hint to understand it closer😂
But in GoW1 right after this scene we see Ares with Pandora's box calling Zeus.Isn't it an Accident?
He literally calls kratos
My son

I like how the young krato ask Zeus which I never thought that old man was him who are you 😂 I am a new subscribe to your channel great content.
That was Thor in disguise. He says the same thing in the new god of war to Thor. So continuity is amazing in this franchise
@@JessicaGarcia-xf9wr I know right.
Heeee??!!! I have played all gow , and this is what i missed 😅
This old man exist in gow 1 & gow ghost of Sparta
Honestly it would’ve been cooler if it wasn’t Zeus greater world building and the personality would make a little bit more sense
You wonder why zeus helps kratos, knowing he would be the one to end him.
Zeus is good person after his fear locked in pandora's box and before kratos open the pandora's box.
@@VickyAcis that's true, but you'd think zeus would have just blessed kratos to become a god instead of opening the box holding all the evil.
you sure? he casted a curse on his mother, kratos was forced to kill his mother, he also ordered to capture his brother.@@VickyAcis
Totaly disagree 😂
This was before Zeus was infected with Fear. Kratos´victory against Ares was the catalyst for Zeus´paranoia.
Colonel Campbell?
When I was younger I thought that little dirt on his hair were his ears, making it seem as if he was some sort of elf guy
I wasn't paying much attention the 1st time I played this lol
Why does he look like that fucking tree?!
Odin Disguised as Tyr
Yo it’s the Advisor from Total War Warhammer
Looks like that tree
Seems like it would make more sense to be Thanatos
It's confirmed in Ghost of Sparta that he is Zeus
@@TyrusDovahkiin never played the spin off titles. Just 1-3, 2018 and Rag
I thought it was grandpa max
Why does Zeus and Odin have the same shapeshifting powers? Just weird
So Zeus saved Kratos from death only to end up killing him, himself?
and here we know who actually betrayed kratos is actually athena she tried manipulated kratos to steal the pandora box to defeat ares and yet athena know it was wield a fear and hope power hoping hope power to goes inside kratos and fear into gods. athena play his last role in ending god of war when she died in kratos blade of olympus, she was jumping not to save zeus but trying to get killed. bcz all his preparation is almost complete athena become higher existance, then comeback in god of war 3, wanted gods and olympus all crumble into dust and also zeus. thats why kratos is confuse when he meet again why she live again in an astral appearance. but again athena easly manipulated kratos once more because he was blind by vengeance to zeus and the gods. after killing zeus kratos realize what he done is terrible and realize athena is fooling him all this time, manipulated him, using him as a pawn. when athena wanted to take his power back (Hope) kratos refuse and said "the box was empty" (pandora box) clearly kratos knew what power athena wanted from him. then he stabbed himself to unleashed the HOPE power into sky, knowing athena wanted to be ruler and the only god in whole pantheon.
this just my theory guys but im confidence enough to tell this to you all. maybe my theory was wrong maybe not all wrong and some of it make any sense.
I never knew this. And God of war ghost of sparta?
These scenes are the reason I hated God of War 2,
...but why I like Ghost of Sparta.
What a dumb reason to hate one of the best, if not the best GoW ever lmao
