Untangling God Of War

A beautiful acknowledgment from Mr. Barlog: bit.ly/38Q5KGP Three quick amendments: 1. While indeed Snorri spent time as a leader in Norway, he was Icelandic by birth. 2. The longer the stories were being told throughout the generations, the 2 fertility gods, Frigg and Freya, began to bleed into the one goddess. In the Edda's, Baldur's mother is Frigg, but I've purposefully kept it as Freya in this video for ease of understanding. 3. I've made a typing error and wrote Alistair Sung as Alistair 'Yung' in the credits. Getting someone's name wrong is for me, the greatest crime so I am so sorry for this.

"Untangling God of War" and ends it with Kratos untangling his bandages.... Poetic indeed!

How about the line after Atreus kills Modi? “This knife is much better than mothers.” Acknowledging the temptation of his father’s path of wrath and violence instead of his mother’s path of kindness and peace.

“You honor your mother, and abandon this path that you have chosen” coming from Kratos that line is pure chills.

Since God of War Ragnarok is out, you better be making one for that too because this is completely beautiful. Take as much time as you need! This is pure art.

If you’re trying to make me play god of war again for the fifth time. Well... you succeded

This deserves to be a Netflix Special.

As someone who's had issues with my father, I couldn't help but choke up at the end. If/when I raise a son, I'm going to treat him like there's no other more valuable person in the world. We will be the men we choose to be. Beautiful work my friend

Imagine telling people in 2005 that Kratos would be one of the most multi-layered, deep and interesting characters gaming has ever seen.

good lord, everything about this video is incredible

This wasn't a YouTube video. This was fucking art, and I love it

Videos like this are proof that, among all the fast food-like content that youtube has, true masterpieces and hidden gems are created by passionate and talented people just because they love what they do

"It is never too late to reinvent the story" Time to time when i feel i down i remember this line and come back here. What a master piece.

God of War removes Loki by putting him at the centre of it all.

so that's what 2 years of editing looks like

This is absolutely masterful. From the educated observational commentary, the use of typography, to the use of sound and cinema. This is truly a work of art. Never before have I been brought to tears from what is essentially an essay. I can't imagine the time and dedication it took to create this. And whether it's monetized or not, you put your heart into it. Thank you for your excellent work. Please don't stop. I'm looking forward to your essay on Ragnarok 💙

"Who I was is not what you'll be" is very poignant. Love that line

Atreus being Loki is the BIGGEST surprise i’ve had in a long time playing video games.

Oh shit I never realized how Kratos said the same words to Baulder that Zeus said to him before “killing” him. “The cycle ends here” AMAZING WRITING

Just absolutely INCREDIBLE!
