The scene with Hercules is hands down one of the most intense, epic and memorable moments in the game. What's your favorite death scene in "GOW 3"? Share in the comments, I'd love to hear your thoughts! 🤔 Fam, I've put a lot of time editing this video...any support would be greatly apricated 🙏💖
I don't know if I have a favorite death, but I would say that the death scene I liked the most was the one in Helios, since before God of War, I liked the predator that collected heads in his culture.
And then you see Mimir horrified by the way Kratos killed that Heimdall brat. Like dude, seriously, you have no idea just how worst it could get, he went down easy
Everyone knew of Kratos's history, but actually witnessing it firsthand is a whole other matter. And Mimir knew this is what Kratos was trying to avoid giving in to. I also assume it was quite shocking for him to see Heimdall getting rekt like that.
To be fair he did freak Odin out with that. Odin made a quick recovery to continue his tirade of verbally treating Kratos like he treats Thor. Mimir "Every god is unique." Me: "Kratos is the only god to be able to cause other gods permadeath. His natural godly power is being a god slayer. I think he'd be great friends with the Doom Slayer..."
@@osmansaleh777 The young Kratos from GOW Ascension is even similar to the old Kratos, but obviously less experienced, I don't see much difference between the two, they are just in different circumstances, I bet that if Odin killed Atreus, the old Kratos would do the same or even worse with the Norse gods.
Helios: “And you believe him? That freak has fallen from the graces of Olympus!” Kratos: “That is exactly why I believe him!” Best line in GOW III imo. So freaking badass!!!
Reminds me of Hitman 3 Agent 47: "If I am who you say I am, do you think THIS was your best course of action? Target: "It's five against one." Agent 47: "Yes. See your mistake?"
Yeah, Poseidon is my favourite greek god, killing him made me sad, and the fact that killing Poseidon means every mortal dies along with him just made me sad
God of War 3 is already been released 13 years ago but every time I rewatch it , I can't feel It's old. Everytime rewatched it,Everytime replayed it, It's just like a new game. never getting old and boring.
Hahahahaha good for you. It's got high replayability. I can't replay the 2018 version on the hardest level instant death after one hit nnnnnaaaahhh. That makes sense in dark souls not God of war nope in my opinion.
Hercules seem the most brutal. The way his face was disfigured and caved in was brutal as hell. Especially when Kratos kept going until the ground caved in as well!
When Zeus says: “Your pawn has failed you Gaia. Perhaps you should have chosen the other one.” The other one is Deimos a.k.a. the marked one, the brother of Kratos
Lol what..? You do realize you're not supposed to empathize with him cusing the apocalypse and killed literally every innocent human by killing the gods right?
To be honest, Zeus kinda started the whole mess. He kidnapped Kratos' brother due to fear of a marked warrior killing him, he wanted to prevent the whole son killing his father trend. Look at how well that aged for the Greek pantheon.
Cronos: “I should have expected this from a coward such as yourself, a coward who kills his own kin” Me: Well that’s ironic coming from someone who tried to kill his own kin.
Yes. Zeus put a curse on Kratos' mother, and Ares imprisoned his brother when they were only boys and tricked him into killing his family. And we mustn't forget after his servitude on behalf of the gods they didn't hold their bargain and his torture continued just because they didn't want to.
I can't help but love the irony behind the death of almost every major antagonist. The Furies: Banes of traitors, killed by the one oath breaker they pursued for any reason beyond simply following their own established laws (Working with Ares to betray and take over Olympus) Ares: God of War, killed by the creature of war that he turned Kratos into Thanatos: God of Death, killed by the marked warrior the gods feared after imprisoning the one he THOUGHT was the marked warrior Icarus: Has his wings ripped off Sisters of Fate: Keepers of fate, trapped in their own mirror of fate that is then shattered after trying to change Kratos' fate Poseidon: God of the Sea, has his corpse dumped into the ocean Hades: God of the Underworld, has his soul ripped from him with his own weapon Helios: God of the Sun, has his head ripped off, which seems to be the source of his power Hermes: Godly Messenger, has his legs sliced off to stop him from running Hercules: God of Strength, gets physically overpowered and beaten to death Kronos: Titan father of Zeus, known to have eaten his children to stop them from opposing him, immediately loses the fight after trying to swallow Kratos Hepheastus: Smith God, electrocuted and impaled by his own creations Hera: Only god you never fight, killed by Kratos without a weapon Deadalus: Creator of the Labyrinth, Killed by his own creation once it is assembled Zeus: King of Olympus, tried to kill Kratos to end the cycle of sons killing fathers, giving Kratos a reason to kill him, thus ensuring that the cycle continues
Well Aphrodite didn't piss him off lol she was like "hmmz why fight when we can have some hot fun 😉 i even brought in two lovely lady servants to play with." She clearly likes gods of war as boy toys
He matured and mellowed out considerably in the Norse saga, but in the original trilogy, he was pissed to the highest of pisstivity...Sole job was to kill as many gods and titans who stood in his way...the shot at 0:58 sums up this game perfectly
Explanation about Hades: Hades is the god of the infraworld (the hades realm), when kratos took his weapon (the claws of Hades) he aqquired the capacity of absorbing souls. By taking the soul of hades inside him, he basically became the new god of the infrawold, thats why from that moment he increased a lot his powers and he had no problems in the infraworld (because by taking the soul of hades he was "the new hades" and every creature recognize it as if he was the original one)
That's a whole lot of headcanon you have there, my man. Absorbing his soul had no visible effect on Kratos other than the Hyperion Gates becoming usable. Enemies in Hades still fight Kratos afterwards. Don't tell me you forgot about the infamous Cerberus/Satyr fight
I still find it cool that they got Kevin Sorbo, who played Hercules in the Live Action TV series, to voice Hercules in God of War. So much nostalgia just from that. Also, the only thing I'll say about people calling Kratos a monster is that Kratos was made into a monster by the very gods he ends up killing. It was the Gods and Goddesses of Olympus who created the "monster" that Kratos became through their own petty squabbles and actions. They created their own downfall and in so doing caused the deaths of those who worshipped them In the end, when given an actual choice, Kratos preferred peace and tried to avoid fighting.
Hell he literally told his opponents to stand down and walk away. Only a few gods realized they needed to leave kratos alone. Artemis was one of them. Same with aprodite
Poseidon's death: raised the waters till every city was under water. Hades's death: every soul ever collected by Hades was able to escape now roaming free in the land of the living Helios's death: removed the sun from the greek sky. Hermes's death: a swarm of diseases flew across the land of olympus Hera's death: all plant life died Zeus's death: brings complete chaos and destroys the greek world
@@itsnevertoolatetodotherigh3271 Hatred and the evils of the world was leaked into the gods and they couldn't think rationally against kratos. The sisters of fate could no longer control fate and kratos could time travel as desired. Thanatos didn't give off any consequences but he and Hermes are supposed to guide souls to the afterlife via taking them to the underworld. So now kratos is crowned a destroyer of worlds
What I really liked about Kratos's story is even though the gods were all awful, the writers went out of their way to make it clear that them dying was in fact really bad. Kratos suffered at their hands, but he singlehandedly wrought more suffering to more people than the gods ever did. The gods weren't simply selfish administrators of some government or state, they were actual forces of nature. It's like if someone suffered a lot due to a river, and then decided to poison it and then dam is up, so that the entire ecosystem and any societies that depended on it to wither and die. That's what makes Kratos ultimately the villain of this trilogy, and why the question of the possibility for his redemption in the Norse games has actual weight. Could someone who did what Kratos did ever been redeemed? What would he have to do? it's pretty interesting.
The latter part of what you said is a perfect continuation of what’s actually goin on, as for the first yes the writers went out of their way to make him the bad guy and boy did they do it alright, but still wouldn’t make sense to call him a villain? If anything anti-villain is what I’d call it, but even that is way out of line, if you actually consider the actually canonical timeline of the Greek pantheon, fact is kratos was born a spartan that right there already eliminates his choice of freedom of what he wants, now if your an actual og fan of the franchise, you’d know the first actual god of war, whose literal job was to do exactly what it sounds like, ares who by the way along with Athena again goddess tore his family apart as a kid, to inferior subjects even as to going to torturing damos (kratos brother) till the end of his life, but wait there’s more, apart from ares already fucking his life as a kid, who still prayed to him for help, in his what was supposed to be kratos last moment, who even went as to aid and work under ares for his life, again ares (who by the way is/supposedly a gig whose definition means violence and chaos, fucked him and his family, now I don’t know or care how divine entities judge, but one would truly understand an entity such as a divine being wouldn’t clearly kill selfishly kill innocent people nor torture anyone especially considering and being a god of “WAR” all the more reason not to, but what did majellan do ?kill his well serving servant’s family who did nothing but serve him like a dog? Being a mortal such as ourselves the fact if any of our pet’s not die but was killed by someone just because they could and not face any consequences as such, would set a chain of events where none of us would just shut up and listen ? 😂, mind you again I still haven’t compared it to a human being, now imagine your brother/sister being forcefully taken from to the one your loyally praying and serving to and then that same person kills your husband/wife and son/daughter. I’m pretty sure that consequences what comes after dealing with that person or ‘people’ would be completely worth it. Doing him/her, everyone and yourself a favor by putting them down their graves, one would call it ‘God’s work. But hey by that point if at all anyone who has gone through all those stages would only evidently loose all sense of rationality right? 🗿
@@nickmathew8506 Your reply was hard to parse, but I think I just need to reiterate to the GOW OG trilogy apologists that the Greek gods are literally extensions of natural forces. They aren't really "people" in the way we think they are people and you can't deal with them like people. Nature is cruel, so that's why the Greek pantheon is cruel. The God of War is not "a job", it's a mode of being, just like how a god of the sea can't act in a way contrary to the nature of the ocean. Ares was a god of the bloody, chaotic side of war. Athena was the "noble" side of war, the measured and calculated side. But war is cruel and causes suffering, and it will never truly end as long as people are people. It's a phenomena that someone like Ares is an expression of. Gods do not have personhood, they simply have natures they abide by. The god of squares cannot be a circle, so to speak. I would say that if your family was screwed over by natural disasters, it would not be justified to destroy the world. That's what Kratos does, and that's why he's the villain. He kills Poseidon in GOW3 and sees with his own eyes, the massive fallout, and he persists, out of his own lust for revenge. He was not bringing justice to the gods. If I developed melanoma, I would not bring justice to the world by destroying the sun. If my family died in a flood, I would not bring justice by ending all rain. So yes, Kratos was not just an anti-villain by the third game. He was a true monster, and that's why his guilt is so true by the norse games.
Exactly paraphrasing and upholding my earlier comment, if a divine judgment were to exist their entire existence and nature like you said would be the force- or to phrase it clearly ‘a way with nature’, but it was so that this force or way with nature that evidently physically strips him of his human morality. A physical literal embodiment of nature itself stripped kratos of everything, now if you look at this logically by what you accounted, the natural force of nature is everything itself, and I was only using iterations to give you a perspective of understanding with people and divine beings, never mentioned it was a job. Zues himself killed one of his own son’s because of the potential disaster he could bring forth, fearing for not other entities or beings safety but the god themselves,now would nature take down another natural calamity again another of nature here just because it imposes more of destructive force ? No because nature does not think it’s essentially a form of way, but here specifically it’s stated by “God’s” by what all you accounted I agree with whatever it is that you said and actually it agrees with my point, had the “force of nature” not be a literal physical embodiment, and if we are going by definition, a divine being is omnipotent, meaning literally powerful bearing no weakness, but the ‘so called’ omnipotent beings had limitations themselves that could potentially bring forth existential crisis, which it did. I’m not for or justifying kratos’s action by saying any of this, But the fact is if inferior subjects or beings could ever in any lifetime rival superior beings, they were never inferior beings to begin with or the so called superior beings were so full of shit.
Even mentioned in god of war 4 when kratos mentions what their existence means and who they actually are, in atreus rhetorically asking, since we’re god’s could we turn into bears, upon which kratos mentions that he dosnt know it wasn’t viewed that way to be revered as a god. But low and behold atreus does turn into a bear in god of war 5
The sad fact is hades is the god that suffered (emotionally) the most because first hades is the god that cares about his family the most and the only one who didn’t cheat on his wife second of all we killed his family so hades is also the saddest god
@@vincentthought6130that's exactly who he is. Even before he called to Ares to save him in GoW1 he was a violent power hungry leader who went village to village killing and claiming the lands. When someone finally bested him he didn't just die like a warrior he called upon daddy Ares and we know the rest.
@@igadevivas it looks like you need to replay the previous games yourself since you seem to believe he’s not those things. I hate to break it to you but the young Kratos is not a sympathetic man. He’s immature, he’s selfish, arrogant, violent, petty and overall not à likeable person. Arguably the gods are no worse than him. His older self is the better (in my opinion) because he’s matured and grown from his past. That’s why i view him as the superior GoW
I like how the consequences from the deaths of the first 3 made perfect sense(Poseidon's death = all of Greece being flooded, Hades death = all the souls he'd collected being released and, Helios's death = the sun getting blotted out) but, when you kill Hermes you get a sense that something is off because, for some reason his death results in plagues being unleashed upon Greece the for some reason, Hera's death results in all plant life withering away. Furthermore, those 5 deaths seem so much more "spectacular" when you compare them to Zeus who simply blows up like Ares & Athena each did...
I think with Hermes it's a reference to the fact his symbol, the Caduceus, is oftentimes associated with medicine and doctoral practices. So releasing a plague upon his death is sort of the opposite of what that stands for. With Hera, it's assumed that she was either given the role of Goddess of Nature instead of Demeter, or Demeter was just completely inconsolable due to Persephone's death so Hera took over her duties. Those are just my takes on them both
@@AshlandTalosHermes I always associated with the symbol of health so the plague made sense. Hara was confusing but as a high schooler in 2010 I didn’t care 😂
The reason why kratos could kill all the gods was Pandora’s box,rage,strength,godly weapons and Pandora’s box made the gods weaker because of fear but besides that he’s badass
@@X-tR3jit actually did when kratos first opened the Pandoras box he got the power inside it but at the same time he released the evil into world which corrupted the gods, changed them which made the gods fear kratos so they sought his death but we can see how that turned out
I'm low-key surprised the gods never got together and decided: "Okay, so this Kratos guy is becoming a serious problem. We need to pool our efforts, or we're all dead."
Kratos is the definition of a Greek Tragedy. He lost his wife, his daughter, his mother and his brother because of what the gods have done to him. You play the three games knowing damn well why and you are (in a sense) chained to follow Kratos in his path of destruction forced to watch him let loose his wrath.
WAS..... A Greek tragedy. Ragnarock, shifted that paradigm to a new beginning. The old Kratos, ghost of Sparta? is of the past, the New Kratos is made a king and, a father a brother, a friend...a great leader.
When Kratos was at his most brutal. I do like how he didn’t immediately repost to killing every god in his way since he have Herc and Hera the chance to walk away.
There is an interesting bit they cut out from the end of the battle with Zeus, right after he breathes out that black smog. With the evils of the box no longer corrupting his thinking, he apologizes to Kratos and tells him to 'realease' him. They ended up not using it, probably to keep the players from sympathizing with him and feeling bad about killing him. Even with that though, there is a lot of crap Kratos put up with throughout the Olympus arc thanks to the schemes of the gods well before he ever opened the box, not to mention everyone else they've ever screwed over. They had this coming for a long time.
I still think they should’ve stuck with that ending. It would’ve made kratos’ “suicide” more impactful what else is there to do after butchering your family again all because they were corrupted by evils you let out.

Young Kratos was a savage beast, an animal who killed indescriminately men, women, gods and beasts. Old god Kratos is a watered down version of his younger self.
Kratos was MADE into a monster. Not only being trained since a child to be a machine of war but also having to endure the cruelty of corrupt god's. Y'all gotta remember the time Zeus cursed the mother of his own child, Kratos's mother to turn into a monster and try to kill Kratos. His whole upbringing just been torture and chaos.
Kratos slicing Cronos' fingers is the equivilent of us getting a paper cut, think of the small spartans slicing your finger everytime you get a papercut 😂😂😂
*Kratos* "I do not seek to destroy Olympus only Zeus" *Kratos finally gets a one on one with Zeus.* *Zeus* "you have caused nothing but chaos and tragedy, look around at what you have done" *Kratos* *I see only what I have come to destroy*
I find it interesting how Greek Kratos tried being reasonable to Hercules considering the lack of care he clearly have towards his actions aside from toppling Zeus and Olympus.
As brutal as the deaths are I loved how there was a clip showing the damage to the world you were doing. It gave the feeling of "there's no going back, the world is over because of you".
You know it’s kind of ironic that, despite how awful many of the gods are, it is Kratos - in my opinion - who is the true villain of the game considering how many innocent people he kills in his pursuit for vengeance against. Like sure I understand his motivation for wanting revenge, but given how many hundreds - or really, thousands die as collateral - there’s no real justification for it.
@@mathevengers1131But is that really justification? He wants revenge because of what the Gods did to him but in the pursuit of that revenge both commits the same things the Gods did to him on others, as well as worse things. If the goal is justice then the ends definitely do not justify the means. If you disregard all logic and reason and any sense of morality or ethics and say “doesn’t matter he got revenge” Then congrats, You’re a bigger monster than the ones you wanted to destroy.
@@JuiceofApple107 he did become a bigger monster at the end, but he never wanted that. All he wanted was Ares killed because due to him his wife and daughter died. And then he wanted Zeus because his nightmares weren't ending. He just wanted 2 lives in revenge.
@@mathevengers1131 True that’s probably not what he wanted, but it’s what he did, and there were certainly opportunities to show mercy. To show restraint and only kill those that were absolutely necessary to get his targets. But he didn’t and that’s why his story is a tragedy, and why the sequel games make his redemption so compelling and interesting. It’s a perfect Greek tragedy.
@@JuiceofApple107 he did give chances to almost everyone. Like, he told that gate keeper in gow2 to move out of his way, but he didn't allow Kratos to pass through the gate. Then there was also sisters of fate whom he said to move out of his way, but they wanted to fight him. Same goes for Hercules, Kratos said that he didn't want to fight him, but he was forced to. There are many such examples. He gave them a chance, but they refused, so he didn't show any mercy after that
I love how Kratos didn't even respond to Hermes' monologue about how his own sense of honor betrays him. Bro was just eyeballing his shoes like "Mm.. hope those fit me."
“The power to kill a god.” He says after killing 60% of the Greek pantheon. He already had the power. Why would anyone be surprised that Pandora’s box was empty?
The funniest part of the compilation is watching you start from being horrified, to getting slowly more desensitised to the carnage. That's what this game does to us.
BRO This game so good, it needs another. What makes Kratos so good is that there is another reason you do not mess with him. Aside from Lore making him near invincible, it so crazy how brutal Kratos is.
The funniest scene ever in the old games is when Hermes is monologuing and Katos is just not even oaying attention being "Hmmm, them shoes though...respect the drip my man, I'll be taking those."
33:43 I remember the first time I press that circle. I ended up 20 minutes beating zeus untill I finally noticed i could have stopped long time ago :'v

Zeus: King of Olympus, tried to kill Kratos to end the cycle of sons killing fathers, giving Kratos a reason to kill him, thus ensuring that the cycle continues
And Aphrodite: Goddess of Love and beauty, allowed by Kratos to live because...why not.
@@nathanalexandre9043 😏😏😏 very family friendly reason
Well Aphrodite didn't piss him off lol she was like "hmmz why fight when we can have some hot fun 😉 i even brought in two lovely lady servants to play with." She clearly likes gods of war as boy toys
@@DiscusvissenRocken 🤤🤤🤤
Lol
He matured and mellowed out considerably in the Norse saga, but in the original trilogy, he was pissed to the highest of pisstivity...Sole job was to kill as many gods and titans who stood in his way...the shot at 0:58 sums up this game perfectly
Explanation about Hades:
Hades is the god of the infraworld (the hades realm), when kratos took his weapon (the claws of Hades) he aqquired the capacity of absorbing souls.
By taking the soul of hades inside him, he basically became the new god of the infrawold, thats why from that moment he increased a lot his powers and he had no problems in the infraworld (because by taking the soul of hades he was "the new hades" and every creature recognize it as if he was the original one)
Wtf is an infraworld??!
You mean the UNDERWORLD
Every sentence of yours have one the same meaning.
That's a whole lot of headcanon you have there, my man. Absorbing his soul had no visible effect on Kratos other than the Hyperion Gates becoming usable. Enemies in Hades still fight Kratos afterwards. Don't tell me you forgot about the infamous Cerberus/Satyr fight
@@MagnaHarter But remember what happens with stygia, after taking hades soul they no longer attacks kratos :p
Aphrodite was the hardest boss fight
😂
Giggity

He killed her later on according to the books
@@kachi2000 No way, really?...Kratos was a real monster in his early life 💀
The OG game. Old games were just on another level
💯
I still find it cool that they got Kevin Sorbo, who played Hercules in the Live Action TV series, to voice Hercules in God of War. So much nostalgia just from that.
Also, the only thing I'll say about people calling Kratos a monster is that Kratos was made into a monster by the very gods he ends up killing. It was the Gods and Goddesses of Olympus who created the "monster" that Kratos became through their own petty squabbles and actions. They created their own downfall and in so doing caused the deaths of those who worshipped them
In the end, when given an actual choice, Kratos preferred peace and tried to avoid fighting.
Yeah, but it's a shame Kevin Sorbo became a religious nutjob
Hell he literally told his opponents to stand down and walk away. Only a few gods realized they needed to leave kratos alone. Artemis was one of them. Same with aprodite
The reason people say that Kratos is a monster is because the Gods created the monster and Pandora was reminding Kratos of his daughter Calliope
Poseidon's death: raised the waters till every city was under water.
Hades's death: every soul ever collected by Hades was able to escape now roaming free in the land of the living
Helios's death: removed the sun from the greek sky.
Hermes's death: a swarm of diseases flew across the land of olympus
Hera's death: all plant life died
Zeus's death: brings complete chaos and destroys the greek world
What about the sisters of fate thanatos and Arez
@@itsnevertoolatetodotherigh3271Ares was the God of War before Kratos dethroned him.
@@itsnevertoolatetodotherigh3271 Hatred and the evils of the world was leaked into the gods and they couldn't think rationally against kratos. The sisters of fate could no longer control fate and kratos could time travel as desired. Thanatos didn't give off any consequences but he and Hermes are supposed to guide souls to the afterlife via taking them to the underworld. So now kratos is crowned a destroyer of worlds
What I really liked about Kratos's story is even though the gods were all awful, the writers went out of their way to make it clear that them dying was in fact really bad. Kratos suffered at their hands, but he singlehandedly wrought more suffering to more people than the gods ever did. The gods weren't simply selfish administrators of some government or state, they were actual forces of nature. It's like if someone suffered a lot due to a river, and then decided to poison it and then dam is up, so that the entire ecosystem and any societies that depended on it to wither and die. That's what makes Kratos ultimately the villain of this trilogy, and why the question of the possibility for his redemption in the Norse games has actual weight. Could someone who did what Kratos did ever been redeemed? What would he have to do? it's pretty interesting.
And he was. Spectacularly
The latter part of what you said is a perfect continuation of what’s actually goin on, as for the first yes the writers went out of their way to make him the bad guy and boy did they do it alright, but still wouldn’t make sense to call him a villain? If anything anti-villain is what I’d call it, but even that is way out of line, if you actually consider the actually canonical timeline of the Greek pantheon, fact is kratos was born a spartan that right there already eliminates his choice of freedom of what he wants, now if your an actual og fan of the franchise, you’d know the first actual god of war, whose literal job was to do exactly what it sounds like, ares who by the way along with Athena again goddess tore his family apart as a kid, to inferior subjects even as to going to torturing damos (kratos brother) till the end of his life, but wait there’s more, apart from ares already fucking his life as a kid, who still prayed to him for help, in his what was supposed to be kratos last moment, who even went as to aid and work under ares for his life, again ares (who by the way is/supposedly a gig whose definition means violence and chaos, fucked him and his family, now I don’t know or care how divine entities judge, but one would truly understand an entity such as a divine being wouldn’t clearly kill selfishly kill innocent people nor torture anyone especially considering and being a god of “WAR” all the more reason not to, but what did majellan do ?kill his well serving servant’s family who did nothing but serve him like a dog? Being a mortal such as ourselves the fact if any of our pet’s not die but was killed by someone just because they could and not face any consequences as such, would set a chain of events where none of us would just shut up and listen ? 😂, mind you again I still haven’t compared it to a human being, now imagine your brother/sister being forcefully taken from to the one your loyally praying and serving to and then that same person kills your husband/wife and son/daughter. I’m pretty sure that consequences what comes after dealing with that person or ‘people’ would be completely worth it. Doing him/her, everyone and yourself a favor by putting them down their graves, one would call it ‘God’s work. But hey by that point if at all anyone who has gone through all those stages would only evidently loose all sense of rationality right? 🗿
@@nickmathew8506 Your reply was hard to parse, but I think I just need to reiterate to the GOW OG trilogy apologists that the Greek gods are literally extensions of natural forces. They aren't really "people" in the way we think they are people and you can't deal with them like people. Nature is cruel, so that's why the Greek pantheon is cruel. The God of War is not "a job", it's a mode of being, just like how a god of the sea can't act in a way contrary to the nature of the ocean.
Ares was a god of the bloody, chaotic side of war. Athena was the "noble" side of war, the measured and calculated side. But war is cruel and causes suffering, and it will never truly end as long as people are people. It's a phenomena that someone like Ares is an expression of. Gods do not have personhood, they simply have natures they abide by. The god of squares cannot be a circle, so to speak.
I would say that if your family was screwed over by natural disasters, it would not be justified to destroy the world. That's what Kratos does, and that's why he's the villain. He kills Poseidon in GOW3 and sees with his own eyes, the massive fallout, and he persists, out of his own lust for revenge. He was not bringing justice to the gods. If I developed melanoma, I would not bring justice to the world by destroying the sun. If my family died in a flood, I would not bring justice by ending all rain.
So yes, Kratos was not just an anti-villain by the third game. He was a true monster, and that's why his guilt is so true by the norse games.
Exactly paraphrasing and upholding my earlier comment, if a divine judgment were to exist their entire existence and nature like you said would be the force- or to phrase it clearly ‘a way with nature’, but it was so that this force or way with nature that evidently physically strips him of his human morality. A physical literal embodiment of nature itself stripped kratos of everything, now if you look at this logically by what you accounted, the natural force of nature is everything itself, and I was only using iterations to give you a perspective of understanding with people and divine beings, never mentioned it was a job. Zues himself killed one of his own son’s because of the potential disaster he could bring forth, fearing for not other entities or beings safety but the god themselves,now would nature take down another natural calamity again another of nature here just because it imposes more of destructive force ? No because nature does not think it’s essentially a form of way, but here specifically it’s stated by “God’s” by what all you accounted I agree with whatever it is that you said and actually it agrees with my point, had the “force of nature” not be a literal physical embodiment, and if we are going by definition, a divine being is omnipotent, meaning literally powerful bearing no weakness, but the ‘so called’ omnipotent beings had limitations themselves that could potentially bring forth existential crisis, which it did. I’m not for or justifying kratos’s action by saying any of this, But the fact is if inferior subjects or beings could ever in any lifetime rival superior beings, they were never inferior beings to begin with or the so called superior beings were so full of shit.
Even mentioned in god of war 4 when kratos mentions what their existence means and who they actually are, in atreus rhetorically asking, since we’re god’s could we turn into bears, upon which kratos mentions that he dosnt know it wasn’t viewed that way to be revered as a god. But low and behold atreus does turn into a bear in god of war 5
The reaction to Hades death got me rolling over here. I am busting up laughing at her.
😜
The sad fact is hades is the god that suffered (emotionally) the most because first hades is the god that cares about his family the most and the only one who didn’t cheat on his wife second of all we killed his family so hades is also the saddest god
For the guys who don't know what the real God of war is, this is it right here, this is the real Kratos.
Id argue it’s the worst Kratos considering he’s à arrogant, egotistical, violent, jackass who only cares about himself.
@@vincentthought6130that's exactly who he is. Even before he called to Ares to save him in GoW1 he was a violent power hungry leader who went village to village killing and claiming the lands. When someone finally bested him he didn't just die like a warrior he called upon daddy Ares and we know the rest.
@vincentthought6130 nice parroting, how about you actually play the 5 old previous games before spouting some nonsense.
@@igadevivas it looks like you need to replay the previous games yourself since you seem to believe he’s not those things. I hate to break it to you but the young Kratos is not a sympathetic man. He’s immature, he’s selfish, arrogant, violent, petty and overall not à likeable person. Arguably the gods are no worse than him. His older self is the better (in my opinion) because he’s matured and grown from his past. That’s why i view him as the superior GoW
@@shalindelta7 not trying to shit on his character. Im just saying I think the older Kratos is the superior.
Nah I can’t with the way Kratos looked down on Hermes like "Nice kicks u got there mind if I try them on ?" 😭💀
Loved all these kill scenes from the games every single one deserved it
This game for me was an "On the spot addiction" no other game gave me this much addiction...🙌
Fun fact: Hercules was voiced by Kevin Sorbo, who played Hercules on TV.
"The Air on Olympus affects your thinking brother" is one of the meanest lines I've heard from Kratos.
I don’t think anybody had it worse than Hephaestus the guy was killed by the dude that was sleeping with his wife 🤦🏿♂️
😅
A new level of netorare
That's what he gets for turning a hoe into a housewife.
I like how the consequences from the deaths of the first 3 made perfect sense(Poseidon's death = all of Greece being flooded, Hades death = all the souls he'd collected being released and, Helios's death = the sun getting blotted out) but, when you kill Hermes you get a sense that something is off because, for some reason his death results in plagues being unleashed upon Greece the for some reason, Hera's death results in all plant life withering away. Furthermore, those 5 deaths seem so much more "spectacular" when you compare them to Zeus who simply blows up like Ares & Athena each did...
I think with Hermes it's a reference to the fact his symbol, the Caduceus, is oftentimes associated with medicine and doctoral practices. So releasing a plague upon his death is sort of the opposite of what that stands for. With Hera, it's assumed that she was either given the role of Goddess of Nature instead of Demeter, or Demeter was just completely inconsolable due to Persephone's death so Hera took over her duties. Those are just my takes on them both
@@AshlandTalosHermes I always associated with the symbol of health so the plague made sense. Hara was confusing but as a high schooler in 2010 I didn’t care 😂
Love the fact they got Kevin Sorbo to play hercules
And Rip Thorne for me Hephaestus he plays Zeus in the Hercules movie
Young Kratos is the embodiment of there is no such thing as overkill it’s just making sure you’re dead
Poseidon’s death was the best! Gives you that God-conquering feeling similar to Ares’ in the first installment
Kratos after killing Helios: The power of the sun in the palm of my hands
Young Kratos was an equal opportunity ass kicker therefore can't be accused of sexism.
I have to agree with you on that 😂
The reason why kratos could kill all the gods was Pandora’s box,rage,strength,godly weapons and Pandora’s box made the gods weaker because of fear but besides that he’s badass
Nah. Pandora box don't made them weak.
@@X-tR3jit actually did when kratos first opened the Pandoras box he got the power inside it but at the same time he released the evil into world which corrupted the gods, changed them which made the gods fear kratos so they sought his death but we can see how that turned out
@@potatogod6540 That didn't make them weaker, just corrupted
@@potatogod6540 in the dlc it's proven otherwise, they were amped
The way this one ended giving the player the option to pummel zeus's face for how ever long they wanted was magnificent!
Fun fact: the voice for hades is Clancy brown; the villain Kurgan from Highlander series….and also the voice for Mr Crabs in SpongeBob
I'm low-key surprised the gods never got together and decided: "Okay, so this Kratos guy is becoming a serious problem. We need to pool our efforts, or we're all dead."
They are very arrogant and selfish. That's why they didn't team up against Kratos
Example:
"I don't need help from another god, I'm powerful enough!"
Kratos was like , "the power of the sun in the palm of my hand" lol
Didn't know that kratos is doc ock lol
The hades fight might be the best fight in the whole series. You have to take chunks out of him and kill those individually.
Kratos is the definition of a Greek Tragedy. He lost his wife, his daughter, his mother and his brother because of what the gods have done to him. You play the three games knowing damn well why and you are (in a sense) chained to follow Kratos in his path of destruction forced to watch him let loose his wrath.
and just like Greek epics, It's one hell of a bloody ride.
WAS.....
A Greek tragedy.
Ragnarock, shifted that paradigm to a new beginning. The old Kratos, ghost of Sparta? is of the past, the New Kratos is made a king and, a father a brother, a friend...a great leader.
@@dp5-1 very true. 👌👍
When Kratos was at his most brutal. I do like how he didn’t immediately repost to killing every god in his way since he have Herc and Hera the chance to walk away.
Kratos: THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR LEAVING ME WITH THE MILK!!!
Kratos is a living videogame character that does not give a shit about feminism😂😂😂😂
There is an interesting bit they cut out from the end of the battle with Zeus, right after he breathes out that black smog. With the evils of the box no longer corrupting his thinking, he apologizes to Kratos and tells him to 'realease' him. They ended up not using it, probably to keep the players from sympathizing with him and feeling bad about killing him. Even with that though, there is a lot of crap Kratos put up with throughout the Olympus arc thanks to the schemes of the gods well before he ever opened the box, not to mention everyone else they've ever screwed over. They had this coming for a long time.
I still think they should’ve stuck with that ending. It would’ve made kratos’ “suicide” more impactful what else is there to do after butchering your family again all because they were corrupted by evils you let out.

thanks kratos for making our childhood and adulthood awesome
GOW is like Skyrim every time I see replays of something about it I’m gonna wanna replay it lol
I forgot they had Kevin Sorbo become Hercules again! Absolutely amazing!
Kratos once again controls his own fate
I love and enjoy every reaction of yours Jelly 🤣 fantastic video ❤️
God of War will never stop being one of the best game series
Young Kratos was a savage beast, an animal who killed indescriminately men, women, gods and beasts. Old god Kratos is a watered down version of his younger self.
You have to pick, be a good father or be a psycho, can't be both
The Greek gods are physical manifestations of their domains. The Norse are just regular people
Kratos was MADE into a monster. Not only being trained since a child to be a machine of war but also having to endure the cruelty of corrupt god's. Y'all gotta remember the time Zeus cursed the mother of his own child, Kratos's mother to turn into a monster and try to kill Kratos. His whole upbringing just been torture and chaos.
Kratos slicing Cronos' fingers is the equivilent of us getting a paper cut, think of the small spartans slicing your finger everytime you get a papercut 😂😂😂
Funny how how the gods think kratos as dumb and stupid until he proves them wrong 😂
Helios: Feel the power of the sun!
Jelly: Son your getting destroyed
😂
I imagine how this version of Kratos can face Thor...Midgard will be almost wiped out..💥
I played this game as a nine year old and I could not get enough of watch how the gods die and the labyrinth was my favorite part in the game
It was like watching my favourite movie with my bestfriend who has the same vibe as me. thank you for this video 💝
*Kratos* "I do not seek to destroy Olympus only Zeus" *Kratos finally gets a one on one with Zeus.* *Zeus* "you have caused nothing but chaos and tragedy, look around at what you have done" *Kratos* *I see only what I have come to destroy*
Thor: “is this the god that butchered a pantheon “
Kratos: “you couldn’t possibly imagine”
Using god of sun as a torch 🔦 light was most disrespectful thing to do 😂😂😂
“FEEL THE POWER OF THE SUN!”
*shines a slightly bright flashlight* 💀
the part where Poseidon falls in and just a little splash comes three or two seconds later it`s a tsunami😅😂
I find it interesting how Greek Kratos tried being reasonable to Hercules considering the lack of care he clearly have towards his actions aside from toppling Zeus and Olympus.
Finally kratos being calm and reasonable person
As brutal as the deaths are I loved how there was a clip showing the damage to the world you were doing. It gave the feeling of "there's no going back, the world is over because of you".
You know it’s kind of ironic that, despite how awful many of the gods are, it is Kratos - in my opinion - who is the true villain of the game considering how many innocent people he kills in his pursuit for vengeance against. Like sure I understand his motivation for wanting revenge, but given how many hundreds - or really, thousands die as collateral - there’s no real justification for it.
Others were coming in his way. He just wanted revenge, not his mistake if other innocents were trying to stop him.
@@mathevengers1131But is that really justification? He wants revenge because of what the Gods did to him but in the pursuit of that revenge both commits the same things the Gods did to him on others, as well as worse things. If the goal is justice then the ends definitely do not justify the means. If you disregard all logic and reason and any sense of morality or ethics and say “doesn’t matter he got revenge”
Then congrats, You’re a bigger monster than the ones you wanted to destroy.
@@JuiceofApple107 he did become a bigger monster at the end, but he never wanted that. All he wanted was Ares killed because due to him his wife and daughter died. And then he wanted Zeus because his nightmares weren't ending. He just wanted 2 lives in revenge.
@@mathevengers1131 True that’s probably not what he wanted, but it’s what he did, and there were certainly opportunities to show mercy. To show restraint and only kill those that were absolutely necessary to get his targets. But he didn’t and that’s why his story is a tragedy, and why the sequel games make his redemption so compelling and interesting. It’s a perfect Greek tragedy.
@@JuiceofApple107 he did give chances to almost everyone. Like, he told that gate keeper in gow2 to move out of his way, but he didn't allow Kratos to pass through the gate. Then there was also sisters of fate whom he said to move out of his way, but they wanted to fight him. Same goes for Hercules, Kratos said that he didn't want to fight him, but he was forced to. There are many such examples. He gave them a chance, but they refused, so he didn't show any mercy after that
I love how Kratos didn't even respond to Hermes' monologue about how his own sense of honor betrays him. Bro was just eyeballing his shoes like "Mm.. hope those fit me."
Kratos killing every god in the game with his bare hands.
Kratos at the end of God of War 3: I have the power to kill a god?
Turns out the power to kill a god was in our hearts the whole time.
When she saw cronos get stabbed in the jaw 😂😂😂 “OH LOOK YOU HAVE A PIERCING NOW! 💁🏽♀️” 😂😂😂😂😂
😂
kratos really mellowed down after he had atreus... imagine him never changing and laying down discipline at home like this 😅
“The power to kill a god.”
He says after killing 60% of the Greek pantheon. He already had the power. Why would anyone be surprised that Pandora’s box was empty?
I remember playing GoW 3 for the first time and witnessing Poseidon being killed, I still feel bad for him.
The funniest part of the compilation is watching you start from being horrified, to getting slowly more desensitised to the carnage. That's what this game does to us.
BRO This game so good, it needs another. What makes Kratos so good is that there is another reason you do not mess with him. Aside from Lore making him near invincible, it so crazy how brutal Kratos is.
Atreus: who would kill their own son!
Kratos on the back: 👍
Kratos is a very calm person 😊
Helios: Feel the power of the sun !
Tobey Maguire: Get outta the way I can’t see !
The Hades fight reactions were hilarious. Reminds me of my Wife watching her play games! 😂😂😂
The funniest scene ever in the old games is when Hermes is monologuing and Katos is just not even oaying attention being "Hmmm, them shoes though...respect the drip my man, I'll be taking those."
Man those games are brutal . Kratos is ruthless
Hera: you destroy all you touch
Commenter: not everything, ask Aphrodite
Aphrodite: no, I got pretty well destroyed.
Great video jelly as usual!!!! ❤❤😍😍
Thank you!! 🥰
Odin really didn't know who he was messing with. They got Kratos Lite. If Kratos really went hard, nobody would be left standing.
You know its over when you see X above you
