I know it might shock some people but the circle button appearing above enemies to command your character to brutally murder them is not in the myths.

I think the reason Apollo never appeared or died in this series is because if he was killed, his death would probably get rid of all music, and we can’t have a god of war game without epic music.

Fun fact: If Haphaestus sounds familiar, he’s voiced by Rip Torn, the same man who voices Zeus in Disney’s Hercules

I like to imagine that the reason why the other Olympians were not killed was because they had a plan and its finally come to fruition. Maybe Hestia, Aphrodite, Demeter, Apollo, Artemis and Dionysus (and the other minor gods whom Kratos didn't kill) purposefully stayed out of Kratos' way in order for Kratos to kill Zeus and the other Olympians so that the ones who remained, would rebuild Greece with themselves becoming the new rulers. Maybe Hestia, Demeter, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite and Dionysus would be the new rulers of Olympus with Hestia being Queen of the gods (Because she's goddess of the Hearth, Homes, Families and the State).

Ironically, Hercules trying to take Kratos' title of god of War is kinda accurate since in the myth Heracles "took" Cratus' title as the god of Strenght

Imagine if zeus's bodyguards were actually there with Zeus watching kratos fight poseidon and when they saw kratos brutalizing poseidon they got so scared that they left immediately and then zeus was just standing there alone and disappointed

I think that "wraith form" from Zeus is supposed to be the hate that consumed him. It's the reason why Kratos's hope is what kills him for good.
Edit: I have been corrected. It is fear that consumed Zeus, not hate.

[Hyruleson]

I think the reason we don't see a lot of the gods like Apollo is because they were smart and didn't get in the way. Specifically I could see it where the gods who hated Zeus more than anything just sat back and let Kratos do the work for them. Apollo in particular could have secretly been reviving Kratos with the death cure his son made just to get rid of Zeus as for why Apollo would do this well don't forget Zeus killed Apollo's son.

The rage he feels when Heracles is misnamed in Greek myth is as strong as Kratos’ rage😂
Love your videos dude

The biggest misconception about Titans is that people think they are different from “Gods”. The Titans are literally Gods, they are just the older pantheon that were overthrown by the Olympians who became the next pantheon of Gods. Titans are not greater than Gods. They ARE Gods.

*Poseidon dies*
The remaining water sprits/deities "I guess everybody take five?"
Zues "Do something!"
The remaining water sprits/deities "You ain't the God of us"

Just a quick note: Hermes’s winged helmet is also a misconception, in original greek myths he wears petasos, which is a hat with similar shape to the „classic” winged helmet

Some behind the scenes infor:
Addressing the Golden Ichor blood. They originally DID bleed that in this game with the notable moment being the decapitation of Helios where it was to be gold ichor and a burst of uncontrolled sunlight erupting from his neck. The only remnant of this is how his eyes and mouth are "bleeding" sunlight. However when they did that, they found it to really kinda not read well as to what was happening. The decision to dial it back to "just red blood" was for more of a "my ook ook monkey brain understands this" for the common audience. This idea was still used when Kratos pins Zeus to the heart of Gaia.

Fun fact, Artemis was supposed to appear in this game but was cut out due to time constraints. She was depicted as half-woman half-lioness (with goat horns and lizard tail no less) for some reason.

[annakofron]

Fun fact, Achilles being dipped in the Styx by his mom to become impervious to damage never appeared in Homer's original Illiad. The Achilles heel doesn't play a part until the first century ad when it was codified in the Achillid.

[issacthemagus]

I always found it interesting how similar Kratos’s story is to Heracles. Kinda wanna see a Heracles game in a GOW style now

[lisboah]

The fact that -Hercules- Heracles is taking orders from Hera, of all people, is so hilarious considering that Hera kept screwing his life over and over again.

[lhenzeybheta.gelbolingo]

I love how kratos in this game is finding pandoras box to "kill a god" when before he obtain the box he already is killing gods

[rawansharma]

"I guess if hera died everyone would be getting divorced"
Made me laugh unreasonably loudly

[Taverens_Pull]

That golden ichor blood thing is your best running gag in these GOW videos.
