So correct me if I'm wrong. This article says Kratos is Jesus or God now?
If so that would be wrong on so many levels considering Kratos is a complete asshole. God of War games are great but I never personally liked Kratos as a character. |
Did anyone ever like Ares as a character? No. He was the god of war and his reason for being was destruction and feeding off of human turmoil. Kratos has more sides to him that Ares. Ares will kill whoever he pleases, and there have been moments where Kratos outside of blind rage held back his sword against another (see Ghost of Sparta).
|
Yes but the God of War and God/Jesus are two completely different things. And is God/Jesus even in mythology?
|
To some Jesus is a myth. To over two billion people on the planet (and growing) he is god.
|
Yes but is he in mythology?
|
I edited my last post. Christianity will eventually become myth just like all the others. Its just that in this age monotheism reigns.
|
I'm pretty sure historically Jesus is a real person though. His name might not be jesus like the bible says or that he was born from a virgin, in fact he was actually born in Spring not the Winter. But I'm pretty sure he is historically proven to be a real person. Now how the bible explains him is a different story.
|
His hebrew name was Yeshua, and no, I dont believe there was substantial evidence that he existed as a god (This is the same argument for the prophet mohammed). If he did, it wasn't the light professed in the bible because I've never heard anywhere historically about him.
|
As I said the way the bible explains him could be false. i'm not even aware of how he is explained. He is basically a demigod from the way the bible explains him if Im correct. im just saying that he is a real person. His stories might not be true but he is a real person.
This is not my point anyways. My point was that Jesus is not in mythology so for him to become Jesus is wrong. Not only that Jesus was suppose to be a good man while Kratos is a complete asshole. They don't even fit together. now if he becomes God it would probably be more like him becoming Zeus unless their is a higher god in greek mythology that I'm unaware of
|
Jesus and Kratos do not equate at all, you're correct. Polythiesm had a god for every instance or circumstance since they couldn't explain the world. To many Christians Jesus is god and that the holy trinity (father, son & holy ghost) are one in the same. Therefore god sent his only son (who is him) to die for our sins to prove his love to the rest of humanity. One must not deny the holy ghost (Because they are denying god).
|
That's what I was wanting to know. I just found the article to come off a little strange and wasn't using logic. It's a great theory but it just didn't make sense unless I was reading it wrong which is possible.
Thanks btw :)

Actually that is just my theory and I have very little to base it on. The "article" is actually not an article. Its a page in the wiki of GoW called Revelations and Prophecies or something along that line.
I chose the thread title to be what it is due to the following =>
___________________________________
An interesting note: God of War III was released on March 16. 3:16 is a famous verse from the Bible. John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life".
and
Third mural
In the third mural, it depicts "Three travellers heading to an unknown destiny". The mural shows three men walking towards a star in the sky, alluding the journey of the Three Wise Men towards the birth of Christ guided by the Star of Bethlehem. This also signifies that after the end of Greek Gods, Christianity has surfaced along other religions. Some fans theorize that Kratos will become the God that is believed and worshipped by monotheistic religions, while others believe Kratos might, in some way, be connected to Christ himself, being the son of a God who saved humanity by giving them hope. Another curious aspect is that in God of War II, a Griffin Rider wields a weapon called Spear of Destiny, the weapon that shares name with the spear that impales Christ's sides during his crucifixion that is used by a Roman soldier, Longinus.
___________________________________
Everything else in the games that have had murals pointing to the future have been fullfilled. So what do you think the three travelers heading to an unknown destiny are? Will we find out in Ascension? Is it left for our interpretation based on GoW3s ending? GoW4 perhaps if there'll be one?
Basically, its one thing that yet has to somewhat be portrayed unless its suppose to be vague and have us think for ourselves, I dont know. Its very very interesting though.
