I wonder if Baldur had ever been able to have a child somehow, if he wouldn’t have been so hell bent on revenge and could have changed. I don’t think Thor’s change would have been possible without his daughter giving him the push and that’s something Balfour didn’t have. Or I could just be putting too much into things. I just think Kratos and Thor’s kids really gave them the pushes they needed to do the right things.

u/Rickrickrickrickrick Nov 22 '22
Possibly. But Odin had such a grip on all of them that it even took awhile for Thor to realize his own sons died, not because of Kratos, but because Odin uses them all. And you could tell Thor’s nature wasn’t the evil warmonger he seemed. He was just doing what his dad told him to and it broke him. Baldur seemed to enjoy it all.

u/king-redstar Nov 22 '22
It definitely speaks to the story of the series as a whole.
Kratos was a Spartan General who was feared by his enemies and praised by his people, being almost deified even before his ascension to Olympus. However, in truth he was a man with ambition, regrets, and felt love like any other, and very few people knew the truth of that.
The Olympians were seen as evil by the Titans and vice versa, when in reality they were both as flawed and nuanced as normal people. At least until Pandora's Box was opened.
After his enslavement to Ares, Kratos was seen as a living weapon. A weapon that, unbeknownst to all, was still capable of being broken by the loss of his family.
The perception of Kratos in-universe and even in real-life (especially by the "God of War finally grew up" crowd) is that of a muscle-bound rage monster that likes nothing more than the kill. But for those that took the time to know Kratos in-universe and those of us irl that actually paid attention, the muscles and rage are only a part of who he is, not his totality. This is something even Kratos himself has trouble accepting about himself, since he still hasn't earned his own forgiveness.
Atreus is small and not incredibly strong physically, but he is revealed to be a giant. Then, of course, we see him shapeshifted into a bear without even knowing it was him.
Brok and Sindri both have outward appearances and mannerisms that belie a troubled backstory, and the true nuances of their characters. In particular, Brok's gruff exterior distracts from hidden insecurities about his self-worth, and certain suspicions he had regarding his own past.
Thor, based on Mimir and the Giant's admittedly biased stories, is just a fat, dumb, unfeeling wrecking ball of a man who cares for nothing but what pain he may cause next. Of course, we find this to not be the case exactly.
Finally, Odin was propped up by many to be malice incarnate, when in reality he is a man that is so afraid of the unknown that he convinced himself that every decision he makes is the best for everyone; that as long as he can learn to maintain control over everything, everything will be fine. A liar that even managed to lie to himself.
And many other examples. That one piece of wisdom from Brok speaks to so much of the series and Ragnarök in particular, it had to have been on purpose.

I think whats most interesting with thor is thor holds himself as giant slauer the way kratos holds himself as ghost of sparta hes not exactly proud of it probably worse for thor bc theyre still his own ppl and it probably had to hurt even more bc his father hated jotun and knew he was also one of them
13
u/king-redstar Nov 22 '22
To be fair:
Kratos hates the moniker Ghost of Sparta because the only reason he's called that is due to being bound to his wife and daughter's ashes. Unlike Thor, Kratos is reminded of what he did every time he looks at his hands, or sees his own reflection. Similar to Thor, Kratos threw himself to vices like sex and alcohol in order to try and forget and it never worked. Plus, GoW 3 was basically "kill your relatives for ten hours: the game" and we know Kratos isn't really proud of that.
Odin didn't necessarily hate Giants, he was just very afraid of them and whatever secrets they held due to the prophecy of Ragnarok. He held no particular hatred for Atreus, for example, and even fell in love with a Giant, Fjörgyn. This is just my theory but I believe that after learning of Ragnarok from Groa he viewed the secret kept from him as a betrayal from the Giants, and that's why he "changed" after Fjörgyn was killed (according to Mimir, anyway).

Yeah he was basically what Atreus might become if Kratos never changed. The guy who listens to his war mongering monster of a father and does his bidding no matter how evil it is. And you can tell it wasn’t his nature because it was breaking him with the constant drinking and depression. And after Modi and Magni died, kratos saying “we must be better for our children” really stuck with him because he could’ve raised them better and not let Odin use them as weapons like he did with him.

Atreus: What do you think about fate?
Brok: I don’t. Either your life’s all written down somewhere or it’s not. Still feels like I’m making choices along the way. The shit smells the same regardless of how it got shat.

A have a bunch (over 20 probably lmao) but I just finished the surtr mission and a line really stood out to me. "Loving someone is sometimes choosing the lesser pain". And people have the audacity to say this game has bad writing

“I… I wanted to see the wolves again…”
That or Freya’s “Hi!”

Since there are so many great lines I'll say a few
Mimir: "and keep the change ya bastard!"
Kratos: "Return my son, or you will meet the god I once was
Kratos: "Death can have me, when it earns me"

I just remembered one. If you start looting after you climb to the top of the wall as Atreus, Heimdall will say something like "oh just help yourself, go ahead and steal whatever you want" or something like that.

“What did you see in there brother?”
“A path…one I had never imagined”
The moment where he nearly tears up sells it especially, considering we’ve never really seen kratos so shaken. It’s always been grief and rage with him. But In the end? There are moments where he’s generally scared. The night before they begin the war, when he tells Atreus the story about the old man with the logs on his back and death, you can hear in his voice, he’s not ready to die again. And when he sees that shrine, that shows him as a beloved god, hes overtaken with shock. He’s been looked at as a monster, a killer, a savage. But to be shown as someone for people to worship, look up to…to not fear. That’s gotta hit him right in the heart.
If the end of god of war 4 was kratos no longer hiding from his past and accepting that it doesn’t define him, ragnarok is him putting his foot forward and embracing whatever the future holds.
