He had to be a better man.
>>731152283yes, we need more grievance culture and victimhood and more women on shrink pills - things can only get better from here on out! Even the trannies hate women now.
>>731152685tell me more about these shrink pills, how smol do they make the women?
>>731152283tl;dr creator got old and his testosterone levels dropped off heavily
Cory was always the fag of the bunch. You can see the whole team getting excited in the making of the OG ones. He was the only one going "yea uh it is really bloody and brutal.. haha..".
>>731152830>he thinks any of the writers of the original are on the rebootlel
>>731152283>A tragic character that does bad things... Did bad things?
>>731152928we must be better men
>>731152887it's because beta men are not taught to be ashamed of themselves anymore. We live in a post-shame society thanks to SSRIs and benzos and perpetual feminization
>>731152928You can get over your past by donating to BLM
>>731152283Why must videogames be used for this faggot agenda. The whole point of games is to escape from the limitations of real life
>>731152685 Honestly the funniest part is how they act like Kratos was ever a role model to begin with. Bro was literally a screaming murderball fueled by rage and bad decisions. Now he’s just a calmer murderball who gives his kid life advice while still turning gods into paste.
>>731152283Toxic masculinity is what I criticise black men for while wanting it for whites.
So nuKratos is of ((())) origin? everything makes perfect sense now.
>>731153096the funniest part is by making every game feminized and pussified as fuck they actually drove away all the masculine young men from the entire market place and polarized themselves into a corner - the opposite effect of trying to brainwash them to your side
>>731153096Exactly, he's simply a game avatar/vessel in order to tell a story. He's not there to be liked as a person just as a protagonist we can experience an adventure alongside.People self-insert into too much instead of seeing certain video game characters as individuals thanks to abundant games with a silent protag like Skyrim or any other RPG-style game.
>why Kratos had to changethe answer is "we didn't have the confidence to sell our game without a popular character/IP"
better manoh better manwho can take his wifes sonraise him to be goodmakeing sure that he can never be called a chudbetter manoh better manthe better man can
>>731153358you have to realize that leftists think TV/netflix/hbo is their church and preacher - once you realize this is how they view it then it all makes perfect sense
People make fun of this so much because he says we must be better then immediately snaps someone's neck
>>731153408Is it confirmed Atreus isn't his own son? I know his mother had some kind of weird life before Kratos came along but I haven't really been paying attention or care to recall the events of the games.
>>731153667It's his biological son. I enjoy betterman posting as well, but it's just memeing. None of it rings true in any way.
>>731152283>>731152685>>731153101>>731153210You fell for a clickbait article headline where nothing like that was said
>>731154005ive seen ragnarok's story, it's not far off.
How many times are liberals going to "defy social norms" in media before they realize they are the social norm in media
>>731152283GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSS
>>731154701Why is it both impressive and lame? How is that possible?
>>731153393And they would be right about that. I always see tons of retards saying God of War can't star another war god, it has to be Kratos.
>>731154701>>731154791its all basically body weight lifting and this guy looks like hes 4'9'' and 95lb soaking wet. even toddlers can swing on jungle gyms and monkeybars.
>>731153096This. Nobody was growing up thinking "ah yes, Kratos is going to be my role model". It'd be like if they made a Sub-Zero game where he has to "grow up" and raise his wife's son. It just doesn't make any sense for that character.
>>731154238There's no just thing as social norm when everything is abnormal.
*Be* better.
>>731154701I WAS STRONG THEN
>>731153667It's heavily implied that his real dad is Sindri.
>>731152283What a shitty way to spin it when he could have just said he wanted to settle down... Again.
>>731154791because he looks like a manlet basedboy
>>731157202Oh no no no nooooo...
>>731152283GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS
As a thunderous roar ripped through the silent forest, the ground shook as a colossal figure crashed from the heavens, impacting the earth with the force of a meteor. Startled by the crater that just formed beside him, Arteus stumbled back, bow drawn, eyes wide with terror.From the swirling dust, Kratos emerged, his massive frame radiating raw power, not a scratch to be seen on his scarred hide, his gaze fixed on the bewildered boy.>Boy, come. We must speak. Atreus approaches, bow slung, looking confused.>Have the news reached you ? Boy. Tyrone is no more. >Tyrone? The... the stable hand? >He was more than a stable hand, Atreus. He was a force. A presence. Kratos grips the his axe, knuckles white, a silent testament to the raw power he once wielded, now tempered by a father's burden.>He... he brought a certain... vigor to our home. A strength that, while not of my blood, was undeniable. >B-but >Silence, Boy! You speak of what you do not comprehend. Tyrone embodied a primal masculinity. A relentless drive. He was... a provider. In his own way. The wind whipped around them, carrying the scent of pine and the distant cries of some unseen beast, mirroring the tempest within Kratos's soul, who continued:>You must honor him, Atreus. As a father. An ideal. A supreme example of what it means to be... potent. To be... man. Reeling back, the boy failed to contain his painful confusion:>But what about you, father? Aren't y->I am Kratos. A faint, tranquil smile cleaved the face of the Ghost of Spartacus.>My path is one of blood and atonement. Tyrone's path was... different. More fundamental. He understood the essence of propagation. Of... vitality. Kratos stared into the distance, a profound, mournful expression on his face, as if contemplating the very fabric of existence and the role Tyrone played within it.>Remember his strength, Boy. Remember his... dedication. Let it be a lesson. A beacon. For even in death, the bull leaves a legacy.
DEEEAAANNNDDREEEEGIVE ME A HEALTHY BLACK OFFSPRING AND MY WIFE IS YOURS
>>731154791His head is like 30% of his body, he's super thin tooHe is literally a basedjak, the impressive part is more that he'd capable of doing this at his age and with a body like his than the actual feats themselves, it's like seeing a 60 year old do a deadlift
>Story is originally set in Greece>Gods are notoriously assholes>Protagonist is also an asshole>Therefore, we should flanderize Norse Gods to be like assholes
>>731152283Why is it always men that have to be better?
>>731154791reminds me to those over edited TF2 vids
>>731152283Reminder that they were 100% intending to make Faye the main character instead of Kratos. Which is why she's such a strong empowered woman who the entire world bends around. Also she beat Thor in a fight even though that's nonsense.
>>731154791They're pube beards and bald heads, and doing the onions face at the camera. It kills the entire momentum.
goy of war lol
>>731152283Kratos is such an evil villain you can't possibly fix him, part of why these stories sucked so much.
>five little words permanently mindbroke all of /v/
>>731152283SHE LIES AND SAYS SHE'S IN LOOOVE WITH HIM
Gods where is my wife's son?
>WIFE'S SON, WE MUST FETCH THE CUM BUCKET FOR YOUR MOTHER AND HER NIGHTLY PARTNER
>>731152283>cool and based thing popular>they use it as a platform for cringe & gaymany such cases
>>731163965>capable of doing this at his ageHe's 25.
>>731165851This and baneposting
>>731165453>mass murderer doesn't want to get close to his boyIt's pretty logical, retard. All these criticisms always fall flat. The new games are far from perfect but the shit people choose to whine about are far from the biggest problems. Kratos slayed countless people, of course he doesn't want to be close to his son and rub off on him or spill the beans that he massacred a whole country of people and gods.>we must betterThe Greek gods were pieces of shit but Kratos realized he brought it on himself by cheating death like a bitch instead of just taking the barbarian hammer in the first place. Kratos has always been a somewhat "deep" character in terms of video game standards, faggots just like to pretend he's a brain-dead wage slave because they want to relate or make fun or someone who probably has all of their shitty qualities, like being autistic.
Toxic masculinity does not exist because there are no uniquely male traits that are unquestionably negative. Most "toxic" masculine traits ultimately boil down to men letting emotion cloud their judgment, which is the realm of women. Toxic masculinity is when people with the strength and will to achieve greatness start acting like women.
>Come boy, we must prep the bulls...for those who come after...
