Thanks to Jonathan Doberski for help with my research.

"not that God of War, not that God of War, not that God of War, not that Gardevoir"

absolute comedy, new sub here

Everyone always asks “where is Kratos?” But no one ever asks “How is Kratos?”

[UndeadGhostGirl]

And here I assumed Kratos was *completely* made up.
... I'm just gonna head cannon that the Ghost of Sparta isn't the Daemon Kratos but rather was *named* after him.

[--Paws--]

So daemons are beings personifying abstract concepts and "words", like there would be one representing hunger or itchiness. Does that make Morpheus a daemon, he represents sleep.

[MrItch]

I actually never knew the difference between demons and daemons.
It’s actually pretty interesting.

I love how zelus was shaking- no buzzing uncontrollably fast even while beating up Kronos. 😂

[Zenithsh]

History is interesting and complicated but thanks to your animations always funny and easy to understand

[CamScam]

To be fair I always kinda assumed Kratos was made up because I'd never heard any stories about him. It does make sense to turn a very minor figure into a main character for a fictional story about a pantheon.

"No, not that God of war, or that God of war, or that God of war, or that Gardevoir"
Me: *chokes on air*

[videogollumer]

It's pretty ironic that the mythological Kratos is straight up the kind of someone GoW Kratos would want to kill.

More history lesson of Greek can you try explaining the difference between Greek and Roman mythology

[Slug_Boots]

we've answered the "where's kratos?" question but the real intellectuals ask "where did he go?" or "why is kratos"

[ScarabGem]

Could you do Aztec mythology because their gods would look ridiculous in your art style also an episode on Ragnarok would be cool

[FixTheWi-Fi]

Huh

Ngl I didn't know there actually was a Kratos in the mythology. Thought he was entirely an original creation for those games. The more you know.

[annarss]

"Or that gardevoir" killed me dude. I found about you ten minutes ago and I already subscribed. Keep it up pal

[thevenomspino]

Fun fact, when making God of War, the team didn't know Kratos the god/daemon was a thing, and the name connection was a complete coincidence that they just didn't change.

[leonardorolingstella]

Also, even though in the game series Kratos hates the gods, in Greek mythology he was literally one of the first gods to side with Zeus during the Titan War. He even sides so much with the gods that he regularly commits atrocities in their name, excusing himself for his brutal actions by saying "it is the way of Zeus"

[ZekeStaright]

"Or that Gardevoir"
THIS is the kind of writing I am here for o(>t<)d

[ILoveCornStarch]

This channel is so underrated yet so high quality


WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE MORE SUBZ

I suggest episodes dedicated to one god like this one
