Wow i never knew hes was the God flowers and fairies.

Ohh wait hes the faking GOD of WAR in case you don't know, him doing brutal shit every 15 minutes is kinda a given.

Actually... Ares as the God of War... wasn' doing brutal shit every 15 minus.  Nor Mars or Tyr for that matter.

Mythology Note: The Roman gods differed from the Greek gods, hence the mentioning of Ares vs Mars.  Ares was more of a douche and mars was smarter, though neither was particularly evil or doing "burtal" things. 

Well until Marvel Comics anyway... but their Thor is a blonde.

Ares destroying Athens was not brutal shit.

By the way the game is about a soldier that becomes god and fight the freaking Gods of Olympic.

Warring with the Gods might get a bit brutal. 

Ares.. didn't destroy Athens.

You're confusing the game with reality... well myth in reality.

Which this actually hits the nail on what irritates me personally, how everyone claims its so close to actual Greek Mythology but ignore that characters in the game act largely out of their own character for the source material.  Yes Greek mythology is filled with violence and sex, but that typically wasn't their point, they were one part entertainment with the sex and violence and one part tales to teach you somethin, be it respect the gods cause you can't fight their will, build the character of the gods and teach you which ones to appease when you want something, and you had the stories of the morals of society. 

God of War has a LOT of the entertainment part of the Greek Tales but lacks just about all the depth.  The character of the gods are largely wrong, the morals aren't there, it's just the entertainment of the greeks which is sex and violence, which entertains todays teens and grown ups that for some reason never grew out of the teen mentality. 

God of War is basically the action movie version of Greek mythology, while it works, everyone likes an action movie from time to time, not everyone understands why people would be obsessed with an action hero (or anti-hero).  Many people have to have a lot of character development or something they relate to with a character, example Gordon Freeman while the silent hero, his character is that YOU are the character, you imagine him how you want, like many RPGs with the silent main character, and people just relate to a nerd.
