The video game where a greek guy literally emigrates to Midgard, where he then starts hopping realms to kill off Norse gods (tbf in self-defense), and then the game ends by
God of War 2018
teasing most/all other cultures' pantheons are real in this game's universe, tooNot that any of these tourists know or care about that, of course.
When the next game features the egyptian pantheon, surely they'll be upset that too many white people are involved?
It'll be a toss-up between
's being upset that Cleopatra isn't a big booba lady they can goon to, or giddy that they can kill a bunch of brown-skinned gods. Which reminds me, Kratos is depicted as having tan/bronze skin in the original game, before he's cursed to have his skin covered by the white ashes of his dead family. Dude is literally only depicted as white because of a terrible curse put upon him by the gods.
im gonna be honest, if cleopatra isn't a big booba lady, i'll be immensely surprised.
I know the og series was infamously horny, but the new games are actually very tame as far as sexuality goes! I can't even think of any characters that showed cleavage. Tonally, they are very different from the ps2/ps3 games set in Greece.
The entire plot of GoW 2018 is that Kratos's wife has just passed, and so him and his son take off to fulfill her last wish to have her ashes spread "across the tallest mountain in all the realms" and it's all very somber. (Aside from all the gods and minions that you have to go John Wick on along the way.)
And since it's been a few years since I played, I wanted to look into it to be sure I remembered right, and I found this interesting article (aside from some mild ableism) God of War’ reinvented: From sex games with Aphrodite to deconstructing masculinity
He get another wife? Is he immortal or something? He still have god powers from taking Aries place or whatever he did in the first games?
