Rethinking the dynamics between kratos and the gods in the og series through the lens of siblings versus their shared dad makes things a lot more, idk, tragic? Kratos starting out as the older brother taking care of his little brother, then going on to seek his own older brother's help, ares trying to train his younger brother so that they could one day take down their shitty dad, and athena just trying to keep things together so that her siblinga don't all gang up on dad and kill him. Theres something about it that makes me sad

#text post tag #god of war #mostly sitting here thinking about the dynamic between ares and kratos tbh #i know he had his own agendas when he was trying to turn his little brother into the perfect weapon against zeus #but like.... i wanna believe he did on some level care about kratos when the other gods all fucking hated him #as the original greek god of war maybe he understood kratos' violence and anger on a level that none of the others did #and more importantly saw a way that it could be honed and utilized #maybe in another life ares wouldve like. told kratos what his plans were and given him a chance to willingly be his #big brother's secret tool to kill their dad #but he didnt and things went the way of your average tragedy #in true greek fashion
