Yea from what I've seen people are either in indifferent towards Atreus or don't care for him
God Of War: Ragnarok (Nov. 9th, 2022) (PS4/PS5) (Valhalla DLC out 12/12/2023)

Yeah, but man it would be kinda sucky for kratos to lose a child again borderline depressing at this point.
The only way I could see it work is if kratos literally had to kill him in a similar ferya/baldur type situation.
That could be epic, and to set it off it could all be mastered minded by "Loki" for the sake of the future... the world needs "The god of war" a point he nor the players find out until many games later.
Naughty dog give me a bag and I'll fix kratos for you.
I feel like he has to become the villain especially since they "averted" the prophecy of Kratos dying... for now
Loki is a villain through and through, I mean Atreus as a child murdered a defeated Modi in cold blood, disobeyed his fathers orders as a teen and started a realm ending war for shyts and giggles based off an obscure prohecy regarding his own greatness, which led to the death of his best friends brother... dude is at best dangerously mischievous and at worst hes gonna grow into being a dark god/giant/mortal hybrid that threatens EVERY mythology
We know that Gods are found in every realm... but so are Giants. Theres Giants in Greek mythology (not the Titans, the Gigantes that started the second war for Olympus), which havent been used in the series before... theres Giants in Celtic mythology (which was hinted at as being Mimirs homeland) like Balor, Dagda and the other Celt Gods... and even in Egyptian and Japanese myths like the serpent Apophis or Susanoo and them. All places thats already been foreshadowed.
Whose to say Atreus doesnt go on a quest to "free" these realms searching for his people since he is the "champion of the giants" and ends up causing absolute CHAOS everywhere he goes, with only one God who can put him down for good....Kratos
GoW 2018 was the better story but it also benefited from being mostly setup, introducing new characters, not having to resolve any major plot lines, and then ending on a cliff hanger.
GoW:R had the more daunting task of following through on all that setup. And part of the issue is they kinda pussied out on half of it.
If you gon reveal the kid is Loki and Kratos is prophesied to die and Ragnorak is the title… it might make you think this is headed in that dark place that Last of Us 2 went narratively (and a good portion of GoW:R had that foreboding vibe), but instead they wrapped it up like a Marvel movie.
Which is fine (wholesome is fine) but it just felt more “safe” than I’d expected given all the setup.

Making Atreus a villain would be the biggest ass pull Santa Monica could do. Atreus ain’t built like that and convincing us otherwise. Gonna take one hell of a writer to make that work. At best they should just try their best to make him. Into an interesting and cool character.I feel like he has to become the villain especially since they "averted" the prophecy of Kratos dying... for now

I think I enjoyed Valhalla DLC more than Erdtree, so many epic moments
He should have never had a kid. There's no redemption arc for the mass murderer. Everything he touches should turn to shyt. He should be finding a way to take himself off the planet.Yeah, but man it would be kinda sucky for kratos to lose a child again borderline depressing at this point.

The next game should be kratos vs Atreus where he destroys him
Hes the god of lies and he's already a bytch ass nikka. Wouldn't be a stretch at all for him to use manipulation which has been enhanced from his time around Odin to be an epic turd for Kratos to Punish. Let me write the next game.

Sounds like you went to the MCU school of writing. We grounded over here and true to the source material.This sounds like you went to the David jaffe school of writing
Kratos is irredeemable garbage who does not deserve happiness because of all the families he has murdered, including his own
Basically this, overall this should be kratos fate.
They ignored this part of the character heavily but if kratos was named say... Joel then he'd have it coming
Naughty is a little more grounded but to focused on trying to condition their audience with gay shyt they lose a little of that groundedness but not as much as God of War.
God of war is now a pg13 game for adults. Disney status. I'm still convinced the games were designed to get santa Monica in the door to create Disney products. Last god of war had some little cute ass squirrel helper. Like wtf am i playing. It's time to get back to roots. Balrog got married and became soft

Moved my PS5 to my PC monitor to get the higher framerate performance active. Got on Valhalla for the the first time and got back into fighting shape. Smacked tf out of Tyr ass real quick. I like the more you drag him, the more power he gotta use to keep Kratos from murking him.
