In the brief scene where his skin turns to ash, it is clearly Black underneath
I don't remember this scene, but normally if the skin of something has turned to ash, the inside is carbon.
Also the guy's Greek. His voice actor is black, which is racist cultural appropriation by the way. The actor should step down and apologize for his racist actions in taking a job away from an ancient Greek.
This may be the same reason Kratos maintains his unambiguous ashy skin, despite the fact that he cannot literally be covered in his family's ashes, as long as the story is to be written.
When people perform communion, and consume the blood and body of Christ, they're not keeping Christ locked in the basement of the Vatican feeding him a diet exclusively of fermenting grapes, wheat and sugar and exporting him worldwide. It's symbolic. Kratos can smear chalk or ash on himself as a symbol for what he lost and remind him of how he needs to act in the future.
And when it comes to underrepresentation, and yeah, fucking around getting things wrong, the Greeks should be higher on that list than the fucking puling blacks.
The fucking university shitheads who use Greek letters can't even pronounce them correctly, starting right with the second letter, and getting worse from there (the old scholars were total shitheads, btw.)
Is this written by a user of the old In Living Color skit Booked on Phonics? I swear to god I had a stroke trying to understand the incoherent mess full of grammatical and punctuation mistakes. Forget trying to follow the rambling tirade it goes off on after a few paragraphs.
but im not sure how the original narrative, often recognized as one of our best, stacks up against the depth and variety of film.
What? Isn't the basic premise of the God of War games "Kratos was betrayed by the gods! Kratos will now kill (and occasionally bang) the gods as revenge!" Granted, I haven't paid much attention to the newer games, but is it actually considered a good story? Decent, passable, something like that OK. But "one of our best"?
Eh, a lot of people seem to think the stories of the old games were genuinely good Greek tragedy, but I've never agreed. It felt like the writers were unable to decide if they wanted to make schlock or drama, as the games constantly zigzag between the two to their detriment. And personally, I found every attempt to make Kratos sympathetic to fall completely flat.
The new game is considered on par with The Last of Us (as in gaming's equivalent to Citizen Kane) by the gaming press. Which means it's completely pretentious and full of itself.
As you can clearly see he has a bit of a tan compared to his wife. You know from being outside in the sun.
White guy with a tan means basically black now. So if you ever need to say the n-word in public just go without a shirt for a day in summer and you are good to go.

I probably just committed blasphemy.

Here you go.
So because his skin has a bit of tan it means he is black, that is the argument here.
Greek have skin tones ranging from white to light brown but Kratos has a natural skin color for a white guy that does not stay indoors all day.
This "journalists" appear to believe white people only have milk white skin and they never have a tan.
If that skin color means you are black then I should be able to say the n-word after working in the yard for a day.
I especially love how there's an actual black person in that cinematic to compare him to.

They will most likely go with someone like The Rock rather then black. But be prepared for ancient Greece to be more diverse then modern day London.

I see why Eric July calls game journalists urinalists
Ah yes, all those black Peloponnesians, quite right.
Sony went from fun games to walking simulator games to movies. I guess the PS6 will just be a Kindle clone?

I doubt the author has played any God of War game, yea the story is there and is sad but is meh.
Shhhh. Don’t tell them to look at any African history.
Aside from his voice actor being black, he isn't. Kratos is Greek.
All good and cool people are black to these weirdos. Black culture is cool, white culture is boring. Kratos is cool, therefore he's black.
I'm not sure. I guess everything is inherently black when you have your head up your ass.
The author mentions how he looked before he got covered with ash. Here is a clip of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0BZ3pz3BX8&t=79s

This is beyond a single drop.
