Show me a trailer, advertisement, random animated gif that shows me all that please. I don't remember any for the first two games or Chains of Olympus and everything I have seen of God of War III leads me to believe the same (even though I know it will have those).

There you go again with the trailers/advertisment/GIFs thing.
Go on, I challenge you to find a trailer of Marcus Fenix, or Master Chief, or Dante, or the Prince, picking daisies, or doing the can-can, or whatever else it is you expect them to do. The Mad World Gears trailer is considered an excellent one (and it is), and what is it? A big guy running down a street and shooting a giant monster. How one-dimensional that is.
The simple fact is that these people are action heroes. They are marketed as such because that is what they are. Kratos is marketed as a badass because he is a badass. Greek mythology is violent. Kratos is violent. The presentation of violence is one aspect in which GoW is head and shoulders above most game series, so that is what Sony wants to advertise.

To be honest...I thought that was pretty pathetic. Fenix displays nothing resembling emotion in either game, and the thought of him lying in a garden, in the shade of a tree...
So, you would like a trailer of Kratos lying under a tree and sighing?

I actually agree on the commercial, but it shows what I'm talking about.
I don't really care what Kratos is doing as long as it shows me that it's something other than being brutal for 10+ hours. Something like Gears of War may have zero emotion but at least I can look at it and think there might be something else to it, I can't say that for God of War.
And yes, don't worry, I think Fenix is pretty meh too, though not quite as much as Kratos. At least Gears has the Cole Train. :-p
And I'm done with this topic for a while because hooray weekend! (long Friday today was -_-)
