"Protagonists" who did more evil then the people the fought.

Like what? Killing monsters?

Killed everything.

The false gods and the sheep who worshiped them all deserved death.

They could just fuck outta his way and stop being pricks to hin

Killing hundreds, if not thousands of innocent Grecian people. Murdering someone after he'd gotten what he'd wanted, and they were begging for their life. Bringing floods, blocking out the sun, and spreading disease. He goes past the lines of morality. He isn't an anti-hero. He's a piece of shit.

You do realize protagonist =/= hero, right?

...

Either you don't what effect quotation marks have when used in that way, or you don't know what protagonist means.

Sometimes you act a bit irrational when angry, it can happen to everyone.

Replaying the games again, I've sort of grown a soft spot for his murderous "give no fucks" attitude. If you just go with the fact that he's an irredeemable prick, it's kind of demented fun.
I'm sure somebody is going to call me an edgelord for this saying this shit.

they could have restarted the GOW franchise in another world with another pantheon.
but no. they have to take the most mediocre approach, I fucking hate them fopr that.

What do you mean? They are literally moving it to another world with another pantheon

also: he wasn't betrayed by ares, but ares by him.

>Murdering someone after he'd gotten what he'd wanted, and they were begging for their life.

Who, Cronos? Cronos tried to kill him first.

He probably means the ship captain. Kratos needed his necklace or something, and when he gets it, he rips it off his neck and lets the poor guy die. It really wasn't called for at all.

you play with an older kratos

3 would have been better if they used the alternate ending and gave us 2 new protags
(the three wise men, kratos and his equals in the separate mythology heading for the birth of jesus)

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS

Protagonist does not mean good guy. Kratos is not portrayed as a good man. He killed his own family.

so did hercules but you see people fawning over that dickhead.

>not having Kratos become Yahweh

would have fit perfectly

Dante from dmcdmcdmcdmc

oy veyyyy there is nothing wrong about these monsters.

I hardly played any of the GoW games but was Kratos even likable in any way or did he just spend 3 games running around screaming the names of Greek gods and slaughtering them?

Pretty much the latter. The only decent thing he really does is trying to keep Pandora alive.

Kratos has always been Imperium of Man-tier in that he's a brutal asshole but the people he fights are even more so, so we root for him.

With that said, there are points where he does shit just to be petty.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he was only out for Zeus right? If any of the other gods had left him alone, he'd not even have bothered with them right?
