In a game that has more guest appearances than a modern episode of The Simpsons, Kratos in Fortnite could be written off as just another harmless cameo. But if you look a little closer, beyond the multicolored flames and cartoon imagery, Ghost of Sparta's surprise appearance finally accomplishes one thing: it makes Sony's axe-wielding tough man look like a total laughingstock. The question is, of course, does this really matter? Well, that's what I think.
Dance of war
Fortnite is famous for its dance emotes that won't surprise anyone at all. Almost every kid around the world has tried to emulate at least one Fortnite dance in their life, be it dental floss or a complex K-Pop routine with varying levels of success. And since Fortnite's dances are taken directly from popular pop culture and made for an incredible sum by Epic Games, the game has inevitably found its place in the hearts of sports stars, celebrities and, of course, corporations. The end result is what you see below. Therefore, Kratos' appearance in Fortnite would always result in a nightmarish and inescapable reality: the god of war would be forced to dance like an idiot much to everyone's amusement, over and over again. You can almost hear Hades laugh with delight. Over the weekend, I watched in horror as Kratos, the man who rips Draugrs in half and pulverizes towering ogres to a bloody pulp, quickly becomes the center of internet ridicule. Look how they massacred my boy:Why don't you say it, Kratos? #Fortnite pic.twitter.com/e5gjHmyrm December 24, 2020 And here's the man who beat Zeus, Typhon, Hercules and Baldur as a regular K-Pop Stan.
I finally understand kpop stans. From now on, every Twitter post you post will be accompanied by a clip of Kratos dancing. 😍 #GodofWar pic.twitter.com/Dvq8ThlS7y Dec 4, 2020 Compare that to what Kratos is best known for - hacking and vandalizing his enemies - and the contrast is stark to say the least...
For the love of Zeus
So should the game's most formidable anti-hero be subjected to this kind of treatment? In short, no. He's a character painstakingly brought to life in 2018's God of War, whose painful severity is integral to how players view Kratos and his complicated relationship with Atreus. Now, however, he is showing what his mother Callisto gave him to try and get all the children into the yard. Some may see Kratos twitching and twitching in Fortnite as nothing more than harmless, silly fun, but this video game cameo seems short-sighted from Sony, and it's hard to look past it, it's nothing. more than a way to benefit from God. War brand. Obviously, Kratos has appeared in other games in the past, but his portrayal has always been much more fantastical. Seeing a chibi version of Kratos playing golf doesn't quite stick with me like seeing 2018's God of War breaking a move in Fortnite. It could also be argued that the God of War series didn't have the gravity back then like it does now.This is for everyone who says Kratos shouldn't be in Fortnite because it's a kid's game pic.twitter.com/uqHshU5 Yes Dec 2, 2020 While this obviously doesn't affect sales of God of War: Ragnarok on PS5, fans now have to live with the mental image of Kratos flossing forever. And it's not like the chain-wielding hero of Olympus in the game is bringing any new players to the God of War franchise. The Fortnite fanbase isn't exactly known to be mature... so it's unlikely most are old enough to play the sequel to 2018's Masterclass anyway.
My fat fat Greek is exhausted
Sony has handled its IP address admirably over the past few decades, and there are plenty of other characters in the studio locker who would have been better suited to the Fortnite treatment. But to see one of their star players reduced to that is, frankly, just sad. With rumors that Master Chief could be the next to appear in Fortnite, how many other beloved video game characters will end up dancing for the Epic Games game? And who says he should end there? Take Mario in Mortal Kombat and Marcus Fenix in The Sims. Apparently, nothing is sacred in the world of video games. Today's best God of War deals God of War Hits - PlayStation...
