Why Did Zeus Apologize to Kratos? (god of war theory)

Zeus think that kratos care??!😂 hell no

Zeus:”Kratos, my son im sorry release me😭”
Kratos: Zeus im sorry i will release you😊 FROM YOUR LIFE!!!🤬

Zeus's Spirit: Son, you may killed me but you must teach the way of greek to your Son.... It is his destiny!!!

Kratos: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ZEUS ALMIGHTY FATHER!!!! STOP THE HORNY PATH!!!!!

The gods were never so merciless when he opened the box, everything went to hell.

so the whole god of war 2 and 3 gods were controlled by evil?

I think it was fell into everything but chaos because Kratos free himself he made that power to seal those black aura madness by stabbed himself 😅

Like father like son

That's explained why zues and greek gods they all turned against him cause they all possessed

I know I’m drastically late but I think the idea was Zeus trying to weasel his way out of what’s happening, “apologizing” to Kratos and asking him to let him go

Guys Zeus is EVIL once he killed his father chronos he imprisonated all the giants and did many other things there was no way that Zeus could’ve been a good father

I mean the guy ordered him to murder his family that's no God of respect zooooooouuuuuuuues face me! Then proceed to run for two games from a mortal force of nature.

Just as Promotheus asked Kratos to release him from torment by killing him, so Zeus too asked Kratos to release him from evil which infected him by killing him

After the black smoke escaped Zues, he turned good, but he was killed.

I think it was a half assed attempt to get Kratos to stop beating the daylights out of him

I think I know what happened to the evil fear it probably left Greece and infected Odin because he was afraid that Kratos and Atreus will cause Ragnarok in Asgard Right

Could the Evil-Fear have gone into the unborn son of Kratos and Aphrodite?

They rlly messed it up i regret killing zeus bcuz the fear went out of him after starting punching him so he was the old trustworthy asshole he was before they should have kept the black smoke inside him

We can already see the evil is going out on zeus

(Ragnarok spoilers) press read more to know















there are zero appearances of the greek gods (except Kratos of course)

It created Anubis

i kind of feel bad for zeus now

I mean him imprisoning the Titans assign understandable since the Titans we're still loyal to his father chronos. There's literally a scene of them I thinking God of War 1 or 2 of them fighting by Chronos Side in the Great War. I'm not exactly sure why he imprisoned Gaia.

I mean yeah Zues was always a dick head, thats kind of a Gods thing, their dicks but we just don't understand them since they gods and were mortals

I hope the evil spirit didn't possess atreus. Remember, arteus started hearing voices, and he said it felt evil. Then that point on, he started to act evil and killed Móði. What if that evil spirit hitched a ride around Kratos and possessed atreus during their journeys together.

I like, even more, that much of his strength came from his loved ones, entombed on his skin, who still loved him despite his betrayal.

A not so insignificant part of me wished that they would be released in the same place Faye wanted to be taken, which was a large part of why she wanted her ashes to be released on that mountain.

That Kratos would be liberated from that curse, or that he would feel liberated without having to see his pale skin anymore. That he would see some misty vision in the ashes of Faye, and his Greek family, stepping towards the afterlife together (just a vision, anyway)

We, the players, had to maintain the aggression or sense of justice to ensure that Zeus's death was warranted. Otherwise, we'd have the same sense of guilt as other acts like from COD MW2 "No Russian"......

I believe Zeus will return. He said that he was sorry. He noticed Kratos in hellhiem. I believe If the heart of Zeus is now weighed by the scales of let’s see Anubis, after the evil spirit is gone out of him it might play a role in the release of Zeus from hell & also bring together the pieces of the mural of Kratos being golden & becoming the ruler of Olympus. The evil spirit said to Kratos not Zeus himself that he wouldn’t be the ruler of Olympus. So in order for zeus to even mention such a thing to Kratos, I suspect that Zeus is going to be around. And it would be something if the people don’t believe that Kratos has changed in Sparta. And that Kratos doesn’t believe that Zeus has changed. Aries is under ice. Could a relative or a group of dedicated soldiers of Aries find away to bring him back? Well I’m out. Hey Cap! 💪🏽

The answer is simple. The evil spirits travelled West, towards the Italian peninsula. Over there it possessed the original Roman gods and made them obsessed with Greece (as the evil spirits are originally from Greece and are most familiar with Greek gods). Slowly but surely, the Roman gods memories and personality is changed until they fully act and think that they are the original Greek gods. They even order the conquest of the Greek world and bring back order to the lawlessness of that realm after the chaos brought forth by Kratos.

When Kratos reaches the Roman civilization, he is confused as it seems that the Greek pantheon he killed has resurrected somehow and renamed themselves as Jupiter(Zeus), Minerva(Athena) etc. The Roman gods think their killer has returned and seek revenge. Kratos allies with uncorupted OG Roman gods and realises what happened. Instead of killing the "Greek" pantheon again, he will this time atone for his past crimes and seek to free the possessed Romans from the evil spirits that he himself freed back in GoW1 and GoW3. Kratos fixes his mistake and saves the Roman world pantheon. (At the end they remember their original selves but now have the new Greek personality fused with them)

This concept keeps intact the fact the actual Romans just copied and pasted the Greek pantheon. And it allows Kratos to literally revisit his greatest regret (destruction of Greece) without having to go back to Greece itself. The possessed Roman gods look and act just like their Greek original copies. Redemption is a key theme here and a small nostalgia bait.

Plot twist it’s about to go into sindri

Zeus was too much of an a-hole to ever apologize. His arrogance was always his greatest flaw. Zeus deserved what he got. Unfortunately in this version of the mythos, all the Greek Gods are mad.

I love the new god of war I can’t wait to see what other mythologies kratos runs into but I hope one day he goes back to Greece just to see the after math and everything

What about demos he was punished for what and the titan who eated by bird every single day

I don't think it exactly excuses Zeus. Anyone and everyone can be corrupted by fear and that doesn't make their actions less bad. But that's just my take

Kratos：do not be sorry,be dead man

Zeus wasn't evil Pandora's box corrupted him

Maybe what Athena said was right the evil consumed him when Kratos open the box

Over a decade after one of my favorite story arcs concludes, and the generation that proceeds me thinks there's a theory to this?

Go play the games...


Spoiler;
When Kratos opened Pandora's box, fear was let out along with hope. Basically, mortal emotions where unleashed on the gods.

Zeus apologized because he saw that he was consumed by fear, and it's what lead him to take all the actions he did against Kratos. (Time travel/sisters of fate really makes a mess of a point a to b journey.)

At the end, we see Zeus turn into a wraith. Wraths are spirits who never make it to the underworld, bound by emotions. Ofc, it could also be because the underworld's ruler was dethroned.

I would have liked that, that would have been a nice touch.

I do agree Zeus is a shit bag, and likely would not apologize, but it would have been an interesting thing to have happen. Like all the fear being released Zeus finally sees what a bastard he was and apologizes for it.

I think like the power of hope, fear was released to the world. With hope around, it’ll make a good counter balance to fear and the other plagues of man.

How dod Kratos get his full god powers back?

Absolute power corrupts absolutely..Zeus got what he had coming

The Zeus from God of War 1 would have said it.
I even appreciate that he sounded like the gravedigger during the line.

i always wonder what was that black smoke coming out of zeus

See, I don't think it was Zeus trying to make amends as much as it was Zeus begging Kratos to spare him, ergo "release me".

I know what he said about probably not going to The next gaming franchise which is in the norse one but I think it went to Balder

Well he defended well in the last with his fuckin face.

I don't think he technically broke his rule since when he killed kratos, he was made a mortal again since he drained his powers into the blade of olympus
