Mmm no they aren't.

It is a fact whether you disagree or not. Much of the narrative structure in GOW is broken to the point of silliness. Out of interest, when the boy starts hacking at the troll, what did you take from what he was saying?

There is no objective way to measure the quality and structure of a narrative. You're just putting too much weight behind your opinion.

I think you misread the beginning of the troll fight by the way. First off, the line isn't "Are we going to fight that?" It's "We're going to fight that?" And the way he says it isn't in excitement, he's surprised and a little worried. It's not "We get to fight that" it's "How are we supposed to fight that."

 

Him hacking at the troll is the first time we see his anger. We see him lose control and show us a glimpse of his internal conflict that's going to play an important role over the course of the rest of the game.

 

They even show you the build up to that scene DURING the fight. As the fight goes on he starts to get noticeably frustrated to the point where at one point Kratos says "control yourself boy" and Atreus responds "I'm FINE, kill it!"

 

I honestly think that more than anything else you just needed to pay more attention during that whole encounter.
