"When this series started in 2005, Kratos was a Spartan soldier with ashen skin, a Scott Ian goatee, and twin blades chained to his arms who spent hours upon hours ripping satyrs apart with his bare hands, yelling at the gods, blaming them for the death of his family , and brooding after threesomes. The first game starts and ends with Kratos deciding to plunge to his death from the top of Mt. Olympus because revenge didn't bring him peace."
"there are plentiful movies and TV shows based on video games being made, and quite a few of them are actually really, really good. It's to the point now that an outright TV show, with the announcement that Ryan Hurst will be playing the Ghost of Sparta. Granted, many a fan-myself included-has spent so many years fancasting WWE's Triple H as Kratos that it'd be a little weird seeing anyone else pick up a Leviathan Axe in live action."
The entertainment landscape in 2026 features a boom of high-quality movies and TV shows adapted from video games. Many adaptations succeed, raising the standards for live-action projects and increasing fan scrutiny. Ryan Hurst has been announced to portray Kratos, prompting mixed reactions from fans who long fancast WWE's Triple H. The early-aughts Kratos originated as a rage-driven Spartan who sought revenge against the gods, culminating in decimating the Greek pantheon and feeling empty despite immortality. The character later evolves into a thoughtful, pensive father with deep regrets in 2018's reimagining, demonstrating significant growth across the franchise.
