* Honestly, I think that Khorne is the one who revives Kratos at the end of '''III''. Maybe he becomes Doombreed? After all, if there's a God who can tame Kratos, it would be Khorne.

[[WMG: All dead gods DO become ghost-like beings]]
* Though none of them are shown, except for Athena (I believe Zeus's spirit form was just a trick), I have a feeling that all the gods really do becomes ghosts when they die. Think of it this way, what are the properties of those ghost-like forms? They have the ability to teleport (Or at least be invisible), they cannot fully interact with the physical world (In this case, Athena could've just teleported into the labyrinth and taken Pandora out herself), they're most likely invisible to humans (Judging from how they look. Only Pandora and Kratos interact with them and both aren't normal humans), and they have the ability to bestow small miracles upon people (Give Kratos his new weapons, stop him from touching the flames). To me, these properties seems like what later people view gods as, all-seeing since they can be anywhere, bestowing small miracles, and invisible to us. They're no longer physical beings on earth as the Greek Gods were. I'm guessing all the gods becames ghosts but none bothered following Kratos since they couldn't do anything to harm him. The only contradiction to this is [[spoiler: Athena pulling the blade of olympus from Kratos and flying off with it in hand.]]

[[spoiler:Rather than give Athena her power back, Kratos stabs himself with the Blade of Olympus, a noble sacrifice to give humanity a chance. [[OrIsIt]]? Kratos is clearly alive, per the after-credits scene, and the first games' ending suggests he's still kicking at least into the modern age. Stabbing himself with the Blade allowed him ([[IMeantToDoThat perhaps by accident]]) to re-absorb all the power he'd transferred into it in GoW II. Zeus' impaling of Kratos didn't have the same effect because Zeus was wielding the Blade and its energies, same reason why no one got a booster shot from Kratos using it on them afterwards. Being mortal again, Kratos couldn't simply pull his power back out of the sword; he had to forcibly inject it back into himself. Note that the Blade loses its distinctive glow after Kratos stabs himself with it, whatever stored power it had being drained. Kratos isn't laughing at the end just because he's spoiled Athena's plans; he's laughing because he's just realized he's a God again! Only thing now is to figure out how he loses his power again for the next game...]]

*** Rookie time travel mistake. According to among other things, The Big Bang Theory, saving his family in the past would deter him from seeking the sisters of faith in the first place ergo he would not be able to go back in time to save them. The game makers seem to adhere to this rule of time travel. Altering the past will retroactively effect the future (think of the sisters of fate trying to destroy the blade of the gods before Kratos can use it on Aries. So Kratos must use time travel wisely.

** High Octane Hijacked By Jesus. Zeus did not create the world (even the most ignorant person in regards to classical mythology can tell he is the son of Kronos, who in turn is the son of Gaia and Uranus, who were created by Khaos) and Ares was not analogous to Satan (since morality was always grey, like in reality). On the plus side, you called Jesus evil, which is something I can relate ^_^

[[WMG: Kratos lives, and traveled to the MortalKombat universe to slay the Elder Gods.]]
With Hades dead the underworld is no longer suitable to send the souls of the dead. But they have to go somewhere, and the next best place to send them is the Neatherrealm. Kratos went there after killing himself, but since the guy [[DeathIsCheap doesn't stay dead]] he fought his way out of the Neatherrealm and into Earthrealm. MortalKombat9 begins and Kratos [[GuestFighter gets involved]] and brutally slays everyone that dares fight him, up to and including the Elder Gods.

When he was, still, a god, he pregnant a mortal(one of the two at the beginning of GOW II, maybe?) that woman survived the disasters from the war between Kratos and the olympeans, and, with the baby, started a new life. That child, and his descendents, are the only thing from the god's era that remains. thousands years later, Dante, Kratos last descendent, follows his ancestor's path and started to kill everyone in hell.

Updating a section taken from Ghost of Sparta, the latest instalment in the series.



to:

* {{Jossed}}. [[spoiler: In Ghost of Sparta, Kratos goes to find his brother, Deimos, who is imprisoned in Thanatos' (Death, not Hades') domain after being incorrectly identified as the destroyer of Olympus. Many gods oppose Kratos' quest to find his brother along the way, such as Athena, Poseidon, and Zeus (indirectly). When Kratos frees his brother, Deimos does indeed try to kill him out of revenge for letting him be taken away by Ares to rot in Thanatos' domain, when they were children, but the brothers make up after Kratos saves Deimos from falling from a cliff. Thanatos kills Deimos in the ensuing battle, and Kratos is once more without a family.]]

[[WMG: Athena was behind everything....]]
.....becaue Kratos dumped her. Him and Athena were pretty close, and were possibly lovers once, however when Kratos met his future wife he left Athena who got very mad at him and caused Kratos' Army to lose the war against the barbarians (she is the goddess of war) and Kratos gave his soul to Ares, who tricked him into killing his wife and child which was an act of revenge by Athena. She also punished Kratos worse by stripping him of his humanity and making him lose everything he had, seting the events of the first game and the second. In the end she wanted the Blade of Olympus to take control of the world so she can truly punish him, but he adverted it by killing himself, which spoiled her plans of making him suffer for a thousand infinities of mind destroying torture in the worst ways inconcievable.

* Except that Kratos can shake buildings down, lift innumerable times his own body weight, break necks with a flick of his wrists, and combat roll indefinitely. Lelouch can barely climb stairs without getting winded.




to:

* Linguistics fail. Yahweh is Hebrew for [[MeaningfulName "I am"]], basically claiming that he has no beginning or end, but is simply one unabated, eternal existence. So, by definition, neither Kratos, nor his son, nor his grandson, nor anyone who was ever born, can ever "become" the "I am".

[[WMG: Gods aren't particularly difficult to kill.]]
Kratos says it himself: "Olympians overestimate themselves." You've got a bunch of supposed "gods" getting ganked by being impaled, getting their eyes gouged out, having their heads ripped off, and generally getting the ever-loving crap beat out of them. It's almost like they're not even gods, but just really big people with magical powers. Maybe the [[spoiler:hope bound up inside Kratos after opening Pandora's Box]] helped, but he killed his way up to [[spoiler:Pandora's Box]] just fine. If a baseline human had a GiantMecha, a FantasticNuke, [[{{Supernatural}} the Colt]], or even just [[MoreDakka sufficient dakka]], they could kill a god too.

[[WMG: When Pandora's Box was opened, it affected ''all'' the gods and ''all'' the titans for ''all'' time. Even Kratos himself.]]
It doesn't seem that Zeus was particularly more of an asshole after Pandora's Box was opened. He betrays Gaia after she hid him from Chronus. He chained up Prometheus for giving fire to mortals. He stole Pandora from Hephaestus. And he gets a Spartan woman knocked up behind Hera's back. In fact, many of the gods seem to have been affected by the opening of Pandora's Box, even before it was officially opened! Ares was jealous of Athena's followers (or something like that). Athena [[spoiler:planned this whole entire Pandora's Box thing.]] Chronus ate his own children. Rhea betrayed Chronus in his aforementioned efforts. The Fates denied the largely innocent titans victory in the Great War. And Kratos isn't exactly without asshole-ish tendencies himself. So why does it seem that Kratos is perpetually [[{{Spaceballs}} surrounded by assholes]]? Well...

Hercules complains that despite both of them being sons of Zeus, Kratos is the one getting all the recognition that Hercules should. so why are there legends of Herc and no legends about Kratos? Because people telling the stories wound up conflating the two. Kratos brings certain elements such as mistakenly killing his wife and children, defeating the hydra, ascending to godhood, etc. Hercules brings the actual 12 Labors to the table, the reputation as a defender of Olympus and the gods, etc. It might also explain why so many of the lesser known stories about Hercules have Herc killing people for little to no reason.
