WE MUST BE BETTER MENhttps://deadline.com/2026/01/ryan-hurst-cast-kratos-prime-video-god-of-war-1236683097/
Nerd culture is fucking garbage. Give me noir, or western, anything but another adaptation of some shitty comic book or video game.
>>217341452Didn't he play Thor in GOW Ragnarok?
>>217341452Where’s his melanin?
>>217341452I am shocked they didn't cast some brown guy justifying it that both of the Kratos characters are voiced by blacks.
>50 year old cast for a action heavy roleWhat the fuck is it with uncs not standing aside for Zoomers or hell even fucking millenials to play roles like these?
Why are they skipping the whole greek stuff? That's 80% of his story
>>217341535Combination of studio bullshit and also needing reliable, experienced actors who can deliver solid performances consistently and also don’t have drama in their personal lives.
>>217341535>Zoomers or hell even fucking millenialsBecause they're all S o y swilling simps with zero testosterone.
>>217341535wonder if he'll break his leg like when they tried that in the god awful cowboy bebop show
>>217341452Kratos never said that btw
>>217341542>Why are they skipping the whole greek stuff?Too long. Too segmented. Too "gamey." People gravitate to father/son shit, not psychopathic anti-hero getting rage baited 3 times and burning everything to the ground.I'm sure there will be flashbacks to Olympus genocide.
>>217341524Man, you retards still find a way to complain when you got nothing to complain about, is it that hard to just shut up?
>>217341535>thinks 50 year olds are decrepit by default because he's worn out at 24if you eat well and exercise you can stay more or less the same fitness til 70.
>>217341452Whitewashing fucks
>>217341631He’s not wrong but they probably just wanted to save on makeup costs.
>>217341603Where am I complaining sperg? Me being genuinely surprised about casting choice despite character being perceived as a borderline person of color through out the years is me complaining? Suck a lead pellet from a barrel of a gun.
>>217341660How much powder would it even take to make a nigger look ghostly pale?
>>217341682we talking will smith or peter mensah?
>>217341535Aren't they doing nu-God of War so he is old
>>217341682Even if he had just a Mediterranean tan it would take a lot of time to get right every time they had to shoot.
>>217341581how would you know? they havent even filmed it yet? its not like the entire concept of making movies out of moviegames is retarded because everyone who cares already saw it. that would be silly
>>217341524People were campaigning for some black actor to play Kratos, it did seem like that was the direction that they were going to go
>>217341524>BOY
>>217341535He got in shape at least
>>217341542He's also straight up evil in GoW 1-3. Works for a fairly nihilistic action brawler, not so much for a TV series.
>>217341790dafuq
>>217341535Kratos is a thousand years old in GoW 2018 and he wasn't young before he became immortal.
>>217341452Not a terrible choice all things considered
>>217341836I'm sure they compensate by making half of the norse gods niggers. The games already set precedent.
Atreus better be half black.
>>217341524His son and wife will be black
Love you brother>caves Hercules' head in
>>217341859what did they mean when they casted a black person to portrait the god of mischief, chaos and lies?
>>217341524Considering that the white stuff on his skin are the ashes of his dead family, that could technically be whitewashing.
>>217341890He gave him a chance to walk away, that's more grace than he ever gave to any other person he came across.
>>217341524>>217341603>>217341737>>217341762>>217341859>>217341663Kratos was always swarthy. Dave Bautista would have been a good choice, especially since he's half Greek. Still not complaining since I was certain they were gonna cast a black actor because his VA's have been black.
>>217341452He looks miscast.
>>217341958>his VA's have been black.Didn't his original VA lose his job because he's too black to do mocap?Anyway, Dad of Boy is fucking gay, who is excited for this shit in an even less interactive format?
>>217341535they are clearly looking at the new games, where he is an old man
>>217341958They should cast TC Carson as Zeus
>>217341524Since when do they need to justify their race swapping?
>>217341452Fucking Love this casting. Ryan Hurst is such an undiscovered gem of an actor
>>217341452Let's see the writer's room for this one
>>217341992They literally turned him into a tree hugger, kek
>>217341958>Kratos was always swarthy.To contrast ash skin curse he got. People keep fucking pretending that this is some racial indication when it's purely to visually contrast him before the curse. Him getting slightly more white wouldn't hit as hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLF_sV2f41o
>>217341714 He is older but essentially eternal. He is built like a 30 yr old body builder. They shouldn't have cast a 50 yr old
>>217341799You didn't get it.
>>217341452The only sensible choice, thank god it’s not a nigger
>>217341958>Kratos was always swarthydid you even play the games?
>>217341958Almost like voice acting has nothing to do with the race of the character, you insane faggot
>>217342080>thank god it’s not a niggerDamn, I remember people saying the same thing about Geralt cast announcement. I wonder if it helped the series.
>>217341452This is whitewashing the character, the voice actor for Kratos is African American. Kratos should be played by a person of color to stay faithful to the game, right chuds?
Another fucking vidya slop, what is with this shit lately? At least GoW is already trash so who cares how much they're gonna rape it. I miss the times when games were a niche associated with loser nerds.
>>2173421170 out of 10. We must do a better bait.
>>217341452fits considering he got cucked completely in soa
>>217341535bro it’s all just prancing in front of a greenscreen
>>217342108Women ruined that series though. The female showrunner hated the lore and games and didn’t like Henry Cavill for bringing any of it.
>>217342150OH FUCK ITS THAT GUY!
>>217342108>I wonder if it helped the series.Henry Cavill was the best thing about the show, he reigned the writers and show runners in as much as he could. cant say anything about this casting besides >>217342080
>>217342154We know next to nothing about showrunners. It's Amazon lead though so brace for impact.
>>217341958swarthy like greek, not like a nog
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODSWHERE IS MY WIFE SON
>>217341790Yes, the shape of a raisin
>>217341631>All the way back to Greek timesWhat did the faggot mean by that? Greece still exists today.
>All these niggers mad he’s whiteAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>217342277ancient greece, just like egypt, was ruled by people of dark skinover the centuries it's been whitewashed by outbreeding and mixing
>>217342314No.
>>217341958He's half-filipino and looks like he's dying of AIDS now.
>>217342314We must post a better bait.
>>217342323yes..?
>>217342340y'all wuz dickwashers n' shieet
>>217341603these people are browns btw
>>217341542Because greek god of war hasn't been a thing for almost 13 years and all the zoomies only know it for old kratos and the norse stuff
>>217341631Based solidsnakex
>>217341535You vill vatch ze quick jumpcuts und you vill like zem!
>>217342402Solidsnake's probably going to get banned
>>217342465I think he knows it too. Godspeed.
>>217342150GOOOOOODS WHERE'S MY WIIIIIIIIIIFE
>>217342199She went on a now-retracted rant online that was all about how Henry kept trying to influence the writing and also how he refused to do the iconic bath scene properly.
>>217342465that thread is a goldmine, many people are gonna get banned
>>217342340How do they explain the fact that Cleo wasn't Egyptian? Are Macedonians black too?
>>217341500Yes.
>>217342534How far gone would you have to be think GREEKS AND ROMANS aren't white?
>>217342570Only anglos and some germanics are white.
>>217342579Shalom
>>217341477kys, boomer
>>217341790Looks he got drunk fat and then got on the wagon>>217341807Weird he actually looks like David Morse who played his father in Outsiders
>>217341631We've literally come full circle to the point that the liberal brand of idpol are unironically doing the>meds ain't REAL whitesshtick. What a time to be alive.
>>217341631We must be swarthier men.
TRAAAAAAGEEER
>>217341477Unc crashing tf out LMAO
>>217341452They are starting adaptation from norse games?
>>217341452> Kratos with Thor's voiceWhat?
>>217341452>WE MUST BE BETTER MEN
>>217342534American politics is such that a light skinned person with Egyptian heritage is considered less appropriate to play an egyptian that a dark skinned African American who has no connection to egypt.
>>217343129Dat yakubian aint from kemet bih
Oh fuck off Amazon. New God of War sucks and the old is overrated albeit a fun time
>>217341500He looks like Baldur
>>217343129Rami Malek is literally egyptian, retard
People will complain about everything to feel cool and fitting in. >oh look at that faggot axe it go fly away and come back like a faggot>oh grunts like a faggot>tender moment with his son like a faggot>he is beating up only White Men I see... oh he beat up a White Woman I see where the writers are doing here >Oh finally a nigger he beat up it doesn't make up for the strong White men he beat up but at least its a possible recovery for the series>Oh for fucks sake jesus christ he has a annoying Reddit head, this disembodied head is the embodiment of Reddit! (heh heh im clever)>Dwarves who are gay for each other WOKE (no they aren't gay) yes they ARE faggot, nobody who ain't a faggot cries for their best friend)on and on and onLooks like another show to completely ignore anyones opinion on.
>>217343749nugow is normoid slop consumed by the same people who consume netflix. No one is going to purity test my wifes son: the game: the show
>>217341452wtf is this bullshit, kratos is Black
>>217341452>Boring Nu-GOWPrepare for preachy writing by women and fuck all action.
>>217341477The future is now, old unc fr
>>217342069the implication when you play the games is definitely that kratos has lost a stephe kills the entire pantheon of greek gods and then struggles to fight baldur in hand to hand combat at the start of the first game
>>217341807If only you knew how druk things really are
>>217343931Norse gods are way stronger than Greek gods.
>>217343637That's what he said you dumb esl faggot. People are saying Rami's casting is whitewashing because he's "white passing" and a black Cleopatra is a good "historical corrective"
>>217343593Nah Baldur is still staring up the stairs
>>217343964other way around in this universe. Play the games and you might learn. Greek gods >>> norse gods
>>217342579Go back in your grave Benjamin.
>>217343928>>217342865>>217342652Idiots pretending to be zoomers we know the demographic of this shithole is millennial fags.
>>217341790>using ozempic and working outlmao holy fucking shit what a fucking retard
Why in the fuck wouldn't they just go with triple H. It's not like it requires good acting and he literally looks like NuKratos
>adapting the soi nu-kratos norse slop and not the greek kino story>showrunner admitted he isn't a fan of the gamesDOA
>>217345740He has a heart condition he can't take any bumps anymore, also Steph doesn't let him out of the cage
>casting Thor's VA from RagnarokLol, im definitely happy with this choice despite the bit of irony. The guy at least knows the Norse games (hoping he at least watched or read some about 2018) and gave a decent performance as Thor in a good representation of the God (a fat drunk, not le epic macho man like in marvel). The show is already handicapped though due to Atreus. He was annoying most of the time in the games and any child actor will probably make the character worse. I am expecting Freya to be black, though. Odin will be a race mixer and Baldur will be light-skinned, cause that's how Nordic people look of course.
