There is ZERO chance this gets done right...

The showrunner is the idiot who fukked up Wheel of Time and this is based off the Viking GOW stuff instead of starting from the beginning in Ancient Greece because OG Kratos masculinity is too triggering for the "modern audience" aka Twitter feminists...

Based on Amazon and this showrunner track record, expect Kratos crying in every episode with Freya being the lead....
The greece stuff just has a much smaller fan base Norse games sold 10 times as much as the greece ones, would make more sense to do a prequel series in greece after doing the norse stuff.
But i agree this will probably be trash either way.

ain't Wheel of Time pure ass tho? :patrice:
I haven't watched it, but the trailer looked fire.

I see people saying it's trash, was it supposed to be a layup? I don't know anything about the source material. Why is it considered such a failure? I'm curious

Kratos at the end of GOW3 basically acknowledges he can't keep going on how he was especially after realizing he
sacrificed Pandora for no reason.

Everything we've seen of him since then is basically him doing his best to not go back to his Spartan days and making sure Atreus grows to be better than him. How folks can't put that simple storytelling aspect together. Man is dealing with all that trauma from his Greece days still.

Yeah we should have a TV show with 50 minutes of Kratos doing nothing but grunting and murdering people. :what:

The average viewer won’t have context to his character
You can’t just start a series
Negating 17 years of content
Unless they are going to tell the story through shytty flashbacks
Which is a tired trope
Kratos is very complex and starting with the Tre Lok/Faye storyline is just a disservice to the story
So yeah 50 minutes of him crying ain’t the wave when we don’t even no wtf he’s crying about :pachaha:
And he only almost shed a tear
after Odin served him ether in his own crib about not being a worshipped deity
To finally seeing that he would be
GOW is visceral in all its nature
Why censor that
Storytellers and writers (good ones) can convey any narrative with proper care
Even if it’s murder-kill-destroy

This is a terrible idea for a TV show BUT they aren't going to spend multiple seasons following the greek storyline, gtfo.
