THE CRAZIEST BOSS FIGHT SO FAR | God Of War - Part 4

Dad of BOY

After watching this for the 4th time, I suddenly realize Kratos Confusion on the Giants (at 16:00) It is because in Greek Mythology the Giants in Greece, were... well giant.

Atreus: can you kill something that big? Kratos: *holding back the memory of cronos* Kratos: maybe

If anyone didn't know. In norse mythology (sort of spoiler), Baldur's mother loved him so much that she talked to everything and everyone and took and oath from them that they couldn't kill Baldur. However, his mother could not receive an oath from misletoe as it was too young, meaning that misletoe is the only thing that can kill Baldur. In the original versions, Baldur wasn't an A**.

I'd like to image seeing freya just peeking outside her window just to see kratos and atreus in her yard running around and stealing her stuff

I love how brok makes a dick joke/insult about his brother, and then genuinely worried about him. That perfectly sums up what its like to have siblings.

Atreus: "Can you kill something that big?" Kratos: "Hold my Beer."

Jack: Sees summit "This isn't the end, is it?!" Me: Looks at playlist "Well according to this we're at 4 of 11. So no."

watching Freya burn the mistletoe arrows but not the arrowhead attached to Atreus' quiver strap haha Baldur's in danger

+100 Luck +100 Defense +100 Vitality +100 Cooldown +100 Runic -1 Strength Sean: Nah, it will take too long for Kray-Kray to kill the enemies...

Atreus- "Father, you say we have to stay focused, but you keep running around smashing pots, why?" Kratos- "When you see the tuition fee for college you will understand boy."

1:43:58 this whole scene came the closest to making me cry of any, "He tortures me, you know. every day, brother. Odin himself sees to it personally, and believe me, there is no end to his creativity."

1:30:50 Ymir is the world. When Odin killed him his flesh became the earth, his blood rivers and seas and his hair forrests and trees.

1:12:27 The way Kratos knew that the dragon would not fall on him, and his shoulder roll. You know Kratos had a bit of his old pride going in his head "I still got it!"

God of War logic: Kills gods, titans, and dragons; Gets 1 shot by a witch/revenant

Just realized, Mimir is a lot like Prometheus, he’s extremely intelligent, wise beyond belief, and would answer directly to Zeus. Both attempt to help an oppressed race, and both are chained to something on top of a cliff, and are tortured everyday, they even both are missing a body part, Mimir’s eye, and and Prometheus’s liver.

I love how almost every culture has a Promethean; a deity-like being who has stolen light or fire from the heavens to spite the Gods and/or to aid humanity. The Maori had Maui. Japanese Shintoism has Susanoo. And now here, the Norse myths have Mimir. Well, also, technically Odin was, himself, a Promethean when he became a crow and stole Creativity and/or Poetry from the heavens, but this works too.

BOY: Can you kill something that big? I've got to imagine Kratos chuckled in his head a little bit

"That's a god hole not a boy hole." I don't think Jack realizes half of the things he says while playing the game.

Rewatching this series, it makes sense why Kratos would cut Mimir's head off even with the risk of him not being reanimated. Firstly that Kratos is stubborn and would find a way even if Freya didn't know the old magic... but secondly comes from the game God of War Ascension, in it, we had an ally Orkos, the keeper of all oaths. He helps Kratos free himself of his oath with Ares and they become friends, we learn that Orkos was a disowned son of Ares, being deemed a disappointment and then was used by the Furies, they claimed they cared and loved him but only tortured him when he tried to correct injustices. The game goes on and Kratos and Orkos bond together but in the end Ares decides to punish Orkos and Kratos more by making Orkos the keeper of Kratos' oath to Ares, meaning that the only way to end the pact was to kill Orkos. Kratos doesn't want to do this, but Orkos begs him to give him a proper death, end his suffering. To suffer at the hands of the gods is not something Kratos wishes on anyone, as he himself was tortured, those he knew and bonded with went through it too, he is willing to put people out of their misery if it means they can be freed of the gods.
