This is one time that I wish the big studios will intervene and edit the script. That's fucking horrible, the ending of the original GOW still allowed for a conclusion without a need for a sequel.
I thought that the whole symbolism is that no matter what Kratos can't abandon his past and he has become more than what Ares hoped him to be, not just a murdering monster, but an actual God of War.
I mean he can't even disarm himself, weapons are literally a part of his body (I imagined one scene where he's summoned to meet the politicians in Sparta and he's told he can't bring any weapons).
As for the black actor, it's alright after he becomes covered with the ashes of his dead wife and child, but what about before that (PS: The original character was conceived to be black)?
I mean, we've seen a lot of good black facing in a few recent movies and tv shows, how hard will it be to white face? I mean, Kratos looked pretty tan before that fateful night.
