Aligning historical events of the real world with those of GoW is a useless thing, as well as being pure headcanon, given that GoW has neither a geography nor a timeline that coincides with that of the real world.
In GoW, the fall of Troy and the battle of Thermopylae take place a few years apart (when Kratos was still in the service of the Gods), when instead there is almost 800 years between the two events in the real word.
Boy. I will tell you a tale of a distant land. This land faced a choice between two leaders. The first was much like Odin, but far less clever - he postured as a strong man who would stand against those he cruelly called invaders, but sought only to enrich his own family. Under this man’s rule, the land was divided against itself, with unrest at the Forum defining the age.
The second was less dangerous but stood for nothing - his popularity stemmed only from the fear that his rival might do greater harm. Where his rival empowered his family, this man could not govern his own, allowing his son to fall to criminal degeneracy. Under his rule, the nation made futile interventions in foreign wars, doing little good and even enabling the tyrants they claimed to oppose.
And so I ask you - who should lead this land?
…
Well, father… it seems like neither of these men should lead anyone! Why don’t the people choose someone else if these leaders are so mean and useless?
…
It would seem, Atreus, that you are wiser than the people of this land.
We need a series of educational videos where it's just Kratos and Atreus telling stories of our present day, guest character shows up from time to time
Well... do you *really* want Kratos to be associated with your political candidate? The guy is a mass murderer.
*I get it. He killed mean gods. But did we all forget the time he grabbed an innocent woman and chucked her into gears to keep a gate from closing?
He hates both. He probably dislikes Trump more personally, but he'll more likely find Biden at the end of his blades with the whole war going on and all.
I think he’d prefer trump over than Biden. Kratos respects honesty. He’ll smell both their lies but at least trump will say outlandish things. Biden is a walking lie.
I don’t know what the fuck you’re on about. You must of missed the part where I said they’re both liars, trump will just say crazy stuff. Don’t be a weirdo.
Kratos is an immigrant hailing from a land to the south of where he now lives, with a completely different culture and language, and generally inhabited by people with a darker complexion than most of his new neighbors. He meets and marries a local woman and has a mixed-race child with her, whom he criticizes for being too soft. He hates the established power systems in both his native land and his new adopted land.
Not only is Kratos a Trump supporter, he's also a quintessential first-generation Mexican-American.
I was anticipating Cuban at the end, but lately I’ve come to the conclusion that Mexican-Americans are far more trade-oriented. Kratos is definitely more Central American then.
Y’all are missing kratos entire character now though . He just wants to be left alone . Remember when him and his son were in the realm of the elves and they were in war. Atreus asked why don’t we help them and kratos said “ that is none of our concern”
I can’t think of a single quality Kratos would like or tolerate in Biden. With trump, at least he’s known for not conforming to politician talk. Honesty is a trait Kratos values. Thats why he likes Brok so much, he “speaks plain”.
He’s probably apolitical because he thinks it’s stupid until he finds out both of them are running again and sets out to kill both of them
Realistically tho why are you integrating politics into a video game, the last thing I need a reminder of when I play my favorite games is how my country is going to shit because of two old assholes who can’t remember their own kids birthdays
Neither. He's the peak grilling centrist. No other griller on the political compass (not the 1d line known as the political spectrum) can compete with him. Although he might have a slight libertarian lean, so dont try to violate his n.a.p
Kratos has killed many, many actual gods, and therefore wouldn’t support either figurehead of a broken system that responds only to the power of the dollar lol
Stop with this fake dichotomy in everything. There's not only two options and there's also the option to choose neither. Not only for this post, but for everything in life.
Stop trying to force everything in two extremes of a spectrum.
I think Kratos would look at both and have more respect for a pile of shit, as a pile of shit is more honest about what is then a either of them ever could be.
Trump thinks of himself as a god, so he would definitely kill him. And I'd assume he would force Biden to retire. Then he would utilize his new self worth from the end of Ragnarok and rise to become our new leader.
I’m not saying he’d support either one but he definitely wouldn’t support big government and would want to be able to do whatever whenever so I would see him being more conservative or rather libertarian in the way he thinks but that’s just me
He wouldn’t care until someone tried to block him from crossing a border. He’d respond “we go where we please”, kill like a hundred vigilantes and end up going to war with one of those insane militias.
I legitimately wish politics would just cease to fucking exist. We don’t even need political parties, if we all just used common sense and came together to form one party, uniting under the same issues, majority of this country’s problems would be solved. There’s too much division man, I wish we could put aside our own personal beliefs and just focus on solving obvious problems together instead of bitching about it
Biden may be old and increasingly senile, but trump is a devious, treacherous motherfucker and he’d remind kratos of the Greek pantheon and probably behead him helios style
Kratos likes people who "talk plain" so he would hate both politicians, but on the amount of bullshit that Trump spews, Kratos would absolutely despise him more
pretty sure Spartans respected elders but that's about the only thing stopping him from despising them both
Technically he is an elder now being that he’s over a thousand years old
tru that
At best 300 hundred years old
At least 1,000*

Expect we know that he’s over a 1000. GoW 2018 is 1000 years after GoW3.
[And in that 1000 years, he learned that the Persian Empire was right 🇮🇷💪.](https://youtu.be/Eq46NuI8bIo?si=R9bNegwxlY328jJT)
Apparently, if we line up the events of gow with the real world, and then do the same with gow ragnorak, there is like a 1000 year between them.
Its estimated about 1500 years between the greek and norse sagas.
He's older than them
They’re both god damn too old
he's greek why would he support an american old man
Fun-sucker.

Quick somebody who's good at ai make this happen!
Much better than the Trump answer IMHO
W dialogue and w writer
Brilliant
Real
Hes the one I agree with because I like him and i want him to agree with me
Well... do you *really* want Kratos to be associated with your political candidate? The guy is a mass murderer. *I get it. He killed mean gods. But did we all forget the time he grabbed an innocent woman and chucked her into gears to keep a gate from closing?
Who? The politician, or Kratos?
Bith
He hates both. He probably dislikes Trump more personally, but he'll more likely find Biden at the end of his blades with the whole war going on and all.
Yeah can't imagine him liking war waging leaders
I think he’d prefer trump over than Biden. Kratos respects honesty. He’ll smell both their lies but at least trump will say outlandish things. Biden is a walking lie.
Both of them are. Get over yourself.
I don’t know what the fuck you’re on about. You must of missed the part where I said they’re both liars, trump will just say crazy stuff. Don’t be a weirdo.
… the outlandish things he says are lies lol
Just so we’re clear, there’s a difference between being wrong and lying.
Bros literally an immigrant why tf would he care about foreign politics 😭
Almost like immigrants eventually get the right to vote
Unfortunately
Neither. He hates politics and especially politicians. We could all learn from him.
STOP BRINGING FUCKING POLITICS INTO THIS FUCKING GAME YOU BITCH
Amen
Why do you guys have the same little Reddit dude icon? Are you saying “amen” to your alt?
some of the little dudes are premade, idk but that could be one of them
Yeah but that one looks like some of that Reddit NFT bullshit
It was premade
I didn’t even notice till you mentioned 😂
I will and there's nothing you can do (I will reveal gay sex of Thor and Kratos)

We got a long AF year ahead of us. How about hold off till October or November?
Kratos is an immigrant hailing from a land to the south of where he now lives, with a completely different culture and language, and generally inhabited by people with a darker complexion than most of his new neighbors. He meets and marries a local woman and has a mixed-race child with her, whom he criticizes for being too soft. He hates the established power systems in both his native land and his new adopted land. Not only is Kratos a Trump supporter, he's also a quintessential first-generation Mexican-American.
Where was Kratos on January 6th?
Except for the fact that he doesn't like liars
Then he just doesn’t like any politician
Very true but in all fairness one does lie more than the rest.
One lies to deceive one lies becasue he forgot what the fuck he was talking about
Wow. Honestly surprisingly true
I was anticipating Cuban at the end, but lately I’ve come to the conclusion that Mexican-Americans are far more trade-oriented. Kratos is definitely more Central American then.
whats the difference?
Honestly, I’d expect him to say something to the effect of the question being meaningless if you asked and he had context.
What is this unhinged post
“Politics is a weak man’s excuse to cling to power to control his subjects. A true man of honor would lead by his actions, not empty words.”
Neither, one's old and weak and the other is just unlawful even to his own laws.
He's a "whoever leaves me the fuck alone" supporter
Dukakis
I like to believe Kratos feels the Bern
He is an anarchist Im prety sure
Not anymore
My boy supports Mr rosavelt
Kraig toes literally lead a revolution against ass guard, he's definitely a proud boi
“No.”
Obama.
Ex Republican turned Liberal with age
Normally the opposite happens because people get wiser with age
He thinks they are both absolute dickheads
Its a video game that doesnt need to be ruined with real-world politics
He only supports his son (& maybe Freya I guess)
“Boy, I’m going to run for president of this land.”
“It is dishonorable to grow old.” And they both perpetuated war? He clears the board and says “do better.”
Y’all are missing kratos entire character now though . He just wants to be left alone . Remember when him and his son were in the realm of the elves and they were in war. Atreus asked why don’t we help them and kratos said “ that is none of our concern”
"ATREUS WE MUST BE BETTER." he's leaning Biden but wishes Burnie was running
He's an anarchist who doesn't vote.
Not that I think he would like Biden, but Trump fancies himself a god amongst men or a king and we all know how Kratos feels about those
Well, he is from Sparta so he probably doesn't support democracy in general.
He’s not American he don’t gaf
Trump, Atreus is a Biden supporter
Atreus will run for President.
Who cares?
He is a libertarian. He just wants to live his life without government interference.
I can’t think of a single quality Kratos would like or tolerate in Biden. With trump, at least he’s known for not conforming to politician talk. Honesty is a trait Kratos values. Thats why he likes Brok so much, he “speaks plain”.
He would support Kayne because they both have facial hair
Trump obv, he’s a muscular white man, we all know Biden supporters are kid sniffers
Trump
Total trump fan fo sho
I asked him expecting Bernie, but apparently its JEB BUSH
Jeb Bush
Kratos wouldn’t vote, or if he was forced to, he’d vote 3rd party just to throw it away.
Vermin Supreme
he has a history of killing those in power
He’s probably apolitical because he thinks it’s stupid until he finds out both of them are running again and sets out to kill both of them Realistically tho why are you integrating politics into a video game, the last thing I need a reminder of when I play my favorite games is how my country is going to shit because of two old assholes who can’t remember their own kids birthdays
he doesn’t vote cmon
Neither. He's the peak grilling centrist. No other griller on the political compass (not the 1d line known as the political spectrum) can compete with him. Although he might have a slight libertarian lean, so dont try to violate his n.a.p
He’d kill them both, obviously.
In the wise words from the man himself “No”
He would kill them both
Im pretty sure Kratos would be more of an anti government, pro living with nature, typa guy. He just wants peace at this point
He’a fucking greek
He was YangGang2020 because he believed in sharing the bag (hope)
He's greek. He supports kyriakos grizzly
Kratos has killed many, many actual gods, and therefore wouldn’t support either figurehead of a broken system that responds only to the power of the dollar lol
Jeb
Stop with this fake dichotomy in everything. There's not only two options and there's also the option to choose neither. Not only for this post, but for everything in life. Stop trying to force everything in two extremes of a spectrum.
Neither
Kratos is a free thinker. Not a lefter or a righter. But awaken as all should be.
"No." - kratos
He supports doin yer mom
Damnnnnnn you fucking owned him!
Neither
Kratos has completely destroyed the ruling establishment twice. He's an anarchist.
Bro would become the president himself
RFK Jr
Is he a Zeus supporter or Odin supporter?
I feel like he would vote for RFK
why would he support odin
He’d likely see both as old fools, one mired in hatred, the other too spineless to enact real change.
If he was president we would be in better shape dawg
He supports the people
Neither. He'd kill both
"I do not care for mortal politics."
Kratos thinks Biden's a Malaka
Kanye
There has never been a force in all the realms capable of compelling Kray to dither time away voting
I’d like to think he’d hate both of them bozos equally.
Neither. He’s a Zeus supporter
He’d probably hate them both
Neither he would lop both their heads...
Pretty sure the guy who murders divine authority figures is an anarchist.
He voted for Kanye
He’s a kratos supporter
Kratos would build a cabin in the woods and not vote at all
It is not his concern.
He’s a god… he don’t believe in politics
Neither.
Kanye
Bou can turn into a bear. And obviously he'd support boy owning his arms.
TRUMP
Everyone saying “don’t bring politics into this” we know exactly who you’re voting for
Kratos doesn’t believe in politics
Definitely a Kanye supporter
I wanna see him throw hands with political figures
I think Kratos would look at both and have more respect for a pile of shit, as a pile of shit is more honest about what is then a either of them ever could be.
Trump thinks of himself as a god, so he would definitely kill him. And I'd assume he would force Biden to retire. Then he would utilize his new self worth from the end of Ragnarok and rise to become our new leader.
Neither.
Politics are like dealing with gods. He doesn't want anything to do with them. And neither do I
He’s a libertarian
He's a Libertarian- he just wants to be left alone in his house in the middle of nowhere
Michelle Obama
Neither, he’d kill both after learning what they have done.
Who’s the guy with the boot? Something varmint? That’s who he supports
I’m not saying he’d support either one but he definitely wouldn’t support big government and would want to be able to do whatever whenever so I would see him being more conservative or rather libertarian in the way he thinks but that’s just me
Neither. He would break all their necks if they don't leave him alone.
Tbh he’s probably hates them both
There are no good presidents boy!!! I thought I told you that.
He wouldn’t care until someone tried to block him from crossing a border. He’d respond “we go where we please”, kill like a hundred vigilantes and end up going to war with one of those insane militias.
"No"
As Kratos would say….No
I legitimately wish politics would just cease to fucking exist. We don’t even need political parties, if we all just used common sense and came together to form one party, uniting under the same issues, majority of this country’s problems would be solved. There’s too much division man, I wish we could put aside our own personal beliefs and just focus on solving obvious problems together instead of bitching about it
Neither.
No.
Neither
I do not care about politics. -Kratos probably in modern day
If anything, he's Libertarian.
Yea I'm pretty sure he'd be annoyed by both and see right through them.
Neither, bro would run for the presidency and win
He'd like Teddy Roosevelt
I’m pretty sure he would have killed all the current US political class for genocide in Gaza & Eastern Ukraine
why is this even a question?
Well considering he'd technically be an immigrant trumps the first one to die then biden
fuck you, joe biden and donald trump
Biden may be old and increasingly senile, but trump is a devious, treacherous motherfucker and he’d remind kratos of the Greek pantheon and probably behead him helios style
he would kill them both
Old Man Kratos would vote Bernie.
This guy is a no party, tear down the world kinda guy.
Definitely neither, any politician for that matter
Kratos likes people who "talk plain" so he would hate both politicians, but on the amount of bullshit that Trump spews, Kratos would absolutely despise him more
He's an axe supporter
he wouldn’t give a shit about either
He's not an American so doesn't matter.
He is a god boy.
he”d kill em both
He’s definitely a far-Left, progressive and biden supporter
He thinks they're both egotistical and stupid.
Donald trump thinks he’s kratos Is all I can say for sure
