Redemption arcs can be good and all but why do so many stories think it's by becoming a libtard

Redemption arc if it real desn't lead to a happy life of the sinner. If repentance is genuine, then he must dedicate the rest of his life to atonement. But it doesn't happen, it's always just escape somewhere
>>
there was no real redemption for kratos in both games
he is still the same retard from greece who kills gods, the whole god of hope thing was forced and dogshit writing
the only exception, is that now hes a father and mellowed out
but he, never, at any point of both games, was a good father
he is a terrible father to atreus and a genuine retard yet for some reason people miss it

Writers think they're normal and sometimes accidentally write that into their stories. So when they need to write a guy mellowing out it's tricky for them to separate them from becoming more like themselves.

oh definitely, he's long past the point of just fucking shit up as he can because he can, he's been around long enough to know how one thing leads to another, only what happened with baldr seemed to throw him off-centre for a moment

All this time since the first nugow, the way everyone kept eulogizing Faye felt endearing and helped with world building, it was a nice push to help Atreus develop as a character and to stop Kratos from referencing himself all the time to teach the boy about life.
Now that she is alive, all these touching moments will be lost like tears in the rain. Now all of that legacy meant for her son is gonna be subverted into turning her into Captain Rey Marvel Skywalker who can do no wrong and beat Thor and then Odin and the almost killed Kratos before they got together and even then she's the one wearing pants in the relationship because YASS YASS QUEEN and then Poochie got back to her own planet without any help from men because she is women hear me roar
>>
>>740789683
Kratos’ story in the nu-games is basically just him accepting that he is a pawn of fate and everyone around him but somehow getting peace for becoming a willing tool to do other people’s bidding. Really puts you in the mindset of the people that make this shit. “No get mad you were manipulated, it’s for the ‘common good’.”

>>740794979
That thing Sekhmet pulled from her hand was a fragment of Stanley ipkiss's Mask that allows the user to travel through dimensions and possibly time. It's the macguffin Odin was meddling with and sought Atreus for help with it.
It will be revealed she got teleported into that place and actually survived, or is in the afterlife and gonna find a way to revive herself, or stoically remain a ghost but keep helping her family.
Either way, she definitely escaped being burned off in that funeral pyre, and having you throw those ashes in Jotunheim in the end of the first game is actually gonna mean an entire new magic macguffin to maybe rekindle her powers against the final boss in her game, instead of just respectfully throwing some fucking ashes in the wind and calling it a day.

Dad of Boy is particularly hilarious because the writers completely missed the point of OG Kratos. OG Kratos was not someone anyone looked up to. He was a cartoon character, completely ridiculous, we all laughed at him and quoted him because he was so funny. He was over the top, he wasn't a role model. Dad of Boy took a character that was played for laughs and turned him into a mopey grumpy cuck for "serious mature adults".
Imagine I were to make a Spongebob reboot. It's set 40 years in the future, all of the inhabitants of bikini bottom died in an oil spill. Spongebob was the lone survivor. The show opens up on spongebob getting trashed in bar. He's got an eyepatch, a robotic arm, scars all over his body and a grizzly beard. The show is about him killing humans for their transgressions against the ocean while he maintains a dour attitude. He's also currently raising Sandy and Squidwards half squirrel half octopus child.
This is the same exact concept as the Dad of Boy duology and the upcoming Hag of Bore... take an existing franchise, completely misunderstand it, and repurpose it to push a political narrative.
>>
>>740795137
He could never resolve any situation by himself. The series isn't named after Kratos but the God of War himself who helped Kratos to defeat his enemies but in return he had to become the pawn of the God.
>>
>>740796947
God of War literally begins with Kratos trying to kill himself. Just because the series is a little over-the-top sometimes doesn't mean that Kratos is comparable to Spongebob, you fucking retard. The series is sincere from beginning to end, it's never at any point satirical, comedic, or ironic

I have a feeling you never actually played the games and you're just parroting what everyone else says
kratos's lines in gow1 are chill and stoic. go rewatch the scene when he sees ares for the first time.
even in gow3 when he talks to that one engineer god forgot his name, hes mostly being sassy. he only screams in a select few scenes like when he sees zeus or athena but hes not hollering the whole game
>>
>>740789683
Kratos was an angry faggot moaning about his dead family, and he destroyed all of Greece because he couldn't stop raging.

what an absolute faggot.
>>
>>740796694
Which she set up by both not saying “go to jotunheim” and telling Kratos to cut down the tree with the ward that hid them. She facilitated it.
>>
>>740795870
that would unironically make her a good character, faye is a massive mary sue up until now and if actually she is a villain who used kratos, and then kratos goes apeshit or something, would be decent writing. i mean, the whole premise would shit on 2018 but still
>>
>>740797390
Look at how zeus behaves, his voice acting and dialogue then tell me this game is serious.

It would, but unfortunately the writers will never actually make her a villain or address her actions as being anything but justified and right. As it is they are basically writing a manipulative psycho, saying that it’s totally a heroic freedom fighter, and hoping no one says anything. And if they do they will most likely just try to dismiss it as “misogynistic man babies not accepting a strong female character” or some dumb shit like that.
>>
>>740792308
It's quite cherrypicked to sound pathetic, when he's really just allowing himself to accept himself as a god once more.
It's a joke to think Kratos loves himself as a base rate. He just comes to the conclusion that even if he hates himself, he has parts he will respect in himself.
>>
>>740797963
true
this game is just incredibly predictable, she will either come back to life and they will be reunited and live happily ever after, or, she cant come back and she watches over her family even in death and also kills bad guys, which is very wholesome chungus
>>
>>740797253
I'm saying the new games are bad on a fundamental, conceptual level. They took a parody, that was already considered liberal at the time because it was mocking masculine stereotypes and disrespecting Greek Mythology (which is based and for chuds) and turned the series into a renunciation of an already liberal character. Liberals dunking on other liberals, missing the point.

>>740798305
You aren't the ones in charge of developing the game. Just because they didn't hit where you wish they did doesn't mean that they missed their own target. I'm pretty sure they themselves even said that this is a more "mature" take on the franchise which is accurate descriptor for the situation.

If their own target was shooting themselves in the foot, they hit the mark with resounding success.
>more "mature"
Yes, being brooding and grumpy with no fun allowed is very mature. I myself am an mature adult who only plays the maturest of adultest video games and by that I mean drab, boring, oatmeal with rocks in it flavor of video games. I AM AN ADULT MAN WHO WILL BE RESPECTED FOR HOW TOLERANT AND PROGRESSIVE I AM. I'm better than you. I'm very serious.

I mean... Are Frank Frazetta paintings "parodies"? I feel like you can't call yourself a parody when you're being so earnest and unsubversive. Also, ironically, disrespecting paganism is a pretty conservative take now. That's not even getting into how the original plan was to have Kratos convert to Christianity
>>

We're talking conceptually and artistically, not financially but you knew that you disingenuous chud.
Conceptually, on a fundamental it's completely ridiculous that it exists and everyone involved or who defends these games are total clowns.
Artistically, it's a cookie cutter over the shoulder boring rpg element slog with disgusting visuals made to milk dumb dad gamers who want a pat on the head for being such good fellas and to flaunt their moral superiority.
It's a resounding success in putting feminism back 100 years by making a subversion of a character that was subversive to begin with. Subverting a subversion, undoing the original subversion of toxic masculinity. Unless the writers were secretly conservative and that was their goal, in which case bravo, resounding success.

God of War 3 he literally attempted to kill himself so he could bring hope back to humanity

Here's you (you), take it I guess. It's obvious you have no media literacy.
>but he, never, at any point of both games, was a good father
He loved Calliope and was willing to let the world end to stay with her in the afterlife. He only abandoned her and Elysium because he knew they'd both be gone forever if he didn't. He carved the flute she plays despite hating music himself and literally spends all of Sons of Sparta bonding with her. He also knew he was being a shit father to Atreus but quickly changes his attitude by the end of GoW 2018, teaching him to be merciful, compassionate, and independent by the end of Ragnarok.

Its simple
Conservative culture advocated for getting a "real job" over any of the arts, so said arts became the domain liberal types which created a relatively hostile environment for any conservatives who do actually make it in.
Gaming was and still honestly is an offshoot of programming with as a STEM related field counts as a "real job" and so you had a better mix of people coming into the early games market.
Then as the needs of gaming on the arts side of things become more intensive (and as nerd guys thought letting women in would get them laid) more and more of the arts culture came into the space.

The moral of the story is thus, if your cultural worldview doesn't have a properly integrated place for a role, niche, or job, you are ceding control of that to others.

Also the CIA funded the Modernist (inherent liberal bias) Art movements of the mid 20th century because the soviets were kicking their ass at doing Realism (ironically a inherent conservative bias) Art, and so they wanted to drown out that aspect of the arts via making Modernism the big thing. But that's a whole can of worms.

Yep, there is no inherent political bias in religion, but because it was a foundational social pillar of pre-enlightenment society it became divorced from liberalism culturally even if the more moderate supporters were religious themselves.
Then the "Opiate of the Masses" line happened and outside of some very modern and nascent splits in the American church the left in general gave up religion as a cultural institution.

If anything religion or at least an element of spirituality seems to be a major part of classical liberalism since it relies on the idea where all are equal but relies on it not being an equality of physicality or mental ability but a sort of inherent human spirit thing.

>>740805381
If your going to point out some minor religious movements or shit like Liberation Theology. I can Point the the embodiment of The Enlightenment, The French Revolution and its aftereffects, its philosophical descendants like Marxist critique heavily denied the validity of religion as an important part of culture.
In contrast the conservative movements of any era have always used that gap and the historical structure of the Catholic Church to integrate religion easily into their movements in meaningful and lasting ways even when separated from historical roots such as the SBC or shit like the prosperity gospel.

Yeah their have been left leaning religious figures and movements but they fizzle out because the broader liberal ideology to this day doesn't have a proper structural space for it.

Video game 'writers' are all failed hollywierd, tv and book 'writer' wannabes.

No, GoW (2018) was part of the "Dad simulator" trend that Bioshock 2, Heavy Rain, and TLOU started.

The Greek pantheon games were fine, repetitive as they were. The only problem is the developers didn't know how to build a concept universe that was mechnically fun and rewarding. Rygar did it better before them.

I'm still confused on how suddenly pussy whipped kratos was made to be, he was fine character wise in 2018 but ragnarok has him being led like a dog on the leash by his wife faye, has her insulting his ability to raise his own kid and he just takes this etc
I can't remember if there was a change of writers but ragnarok really bogged down kratos, I was confused when faye kept condescending him like she when orders him to pick up the log then says "good boy", or when she tells atreus that kratos will teach him how to hunt, then says "or maybe I'll have to teach you that anyway", people say it's banter but banter is a two way street and kratos takes it with nothing but a "le funny brute grunting". You wanna show him changed? More humanised? Have him actually have back and forth with his own fucking wife. If they wanted us to really think kratos has changed they shouldve had him responding back in any way, taking these jabs as the jokes which they were meant to be I assume, it's like Santa Monica equated kratos's vulnerability as being submissive/a pushover.
Then you have freya nearly killing kratos with a blade to his throat, the only reason she didn't was because she was interrupted by Bear-treus, you win the boss fight and it ends with her about to fucking slaughter you.

which naturally had the usual suspects going "omg we are gonna reform him from being toxic masculinity"
before it was just annoying to hear and the game was just a bit too modern (cough, marvel) in its humor for some of the old crowd.

Because liberalism is the basis of morality in the modern world. Even so-called conservatives are still liberals, they just hold what liberal values were in the 80s or 50s or what-not. So, naturally, liberals dominate, and conservatives are helpless, since the latter is just the former but slow. Only someone that rejects all the principles of the Enlightenment could not be a liberal, and thus take society in a different direction. But such groups just don't exist, not in the first world.

1.)
You are literally doing it right fucking now
You are actively funding and participating in a genocide that has a motive of ethnic cleansing 2 million natives, many of which will likely migrate to europe afterwards. Or how you blockaded and starved out cuba or venezuale, where millions also migrated from

You psychopath worms are not some fucking victims of evil immigrants, nor are you the ones carrying the biggest burderns of the migration crisis (Iran takes in the most amount of immigrants in the world by far)

2.) I never advocated for immigration, you are so fucking brai washed and project some percieved "leftist"(liberal) narrative on me you can't even fucking read.
Leftists advocate for the west stopping their imperialist exploitation of the global south. Westurds (conservatives and liberals alike) pretend this is not happening and pretend that they are either some greatest humanitarians for taking in some immigrants or are upset about "le great replacement"

Gimenez, Marxism and Class, Gender and Race: Rethinking the Trilogy
>According to UCLA professor andcritical theorist Douglas Kellner, "Many 20th century Marxian theorists ranging from Georg Lukács, Antonio Gramsci, Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, and T.W. Adorno to Fredric Jameson and Terry Eagleton employed the Marxian theory to analyze cultural forms in relation to their production, their imbrications with society and history, and their impact and influences on audiences and social life."[2][3] Although scholars around the globe have employed various types of Marxist social criticism to analyze cultural artifacts, the two most influential academic institutions upon Western cultural Marxism have been the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt am Main in Germany (the Frankfurt School), and the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies at the University of Birmingham, UK. The latter had been at the center of a resurgent interest in the broader category of cultural Studies

West still pushed NATO expansion while knowing this, and now your lying media and political class claims Russia is there because they want to conquer ukraine rather than to block western military expansion (the military who even currently support a genocide with 30+% children casualties, and eho have a colossal track record of invasions /bombings /overtrheows in the last decades)

Honestly, let me give you some advice: stop trying to justify your stance. I think you'd probably sleep a lot better at night if you stop trying to convince yourself that you're not evil.

God of War was always generic schlock designed for normies. The original games were brainless button mashers made for guys who play FIFA and CoD who thought that the sex QTE was the coolest and most inventive thing ever put into a game. The new games are simply adapted to the times and the changing values of normies. That's why it's all about dad shit now. Because the CoD kids that the original games were designed for are all dads. They're all millennials who love Star Wars and Marvel movies which is why the new one has a Joss Whedon cube in it.
What i'm wondering is why i'm sitting here on /v/ being told over and over that I suddenly need to care that this normie shit continues to be normie shit. Go play a real video game.

Nothing gets redeemed and Kratos is just a mindless automaton that acts contradictory and is a slave to the people around him and Faye. It’s trying to take down a character who normally acted in his own quest to be free from fate and making him a pawn of “collective good”.

Online conservatism is the millennial midlife crisis.

If someone was rambling about "chuds" and "incels", I'm pretty sure you would very quickly come to assumptions and conclusions about their world philosophy and intentions.

If someone is rambling about how the number one reason the world sucks now because of "niggers", then it's not a stretch to assume they're a racist piece of shit who probably rarely even comes into contact with black people irl.

If it's impossible for you to resist the urge to call people niggers and tell people to kill themselves on 4chan, then maybe don't proselytize on 4chan.

The average viewer will probably think "wow that's soo true!"

Shame that fantasy doesn't exist

i honestly thought a fight would happen, and OG kratos's voice actor would come back and they'd have a battle of words, then they just fight to the death, or something. it would've been an actual cool moment but instead we just have a shitty monologue that was executed so poorly i swear its like it was written by a drooling retard

Wasn't that basically what the golden order of Eldern Ring was?

>have to create moment which is going to be kratos facing off against his old self
>it is not an epic boss battle
>it is not him struggling with his rage against the influence of his inner demons
>it’s just him having a struggle session with himself while on the verge of tears while his old self just sits there quietly with an annoyed look on his face
Really puts into perspective what these people think a great struggle is.

Pretty much this, 99.9% of content creation is done by libniggers.

Interesting. As someone who has just been laughing at the memes I've always wondered if Kratos reform arc was actually believable character development or reboot tier nonsense. Guess people have been downplaying his character in the early games.

The problem is conservacucks are unable to create good art that is also fresh and unique.
It requires exploring new ideas and cultures and embrace differences.
That doesn't mean there isn't good art made by them but in terms of quantity and quality it's miniscule.

Conservatism is about being a mindless drone who is afraid of change and different cultures
The ultimate goyim who would vote for rich billionaires to own le libs while dying from poverty.

kratos should have died like the mural depicted and the message should be that the cycle never ends tbdesu
