Ragnarök Is Coming (Part One)

Kratos was grabbing the reigns of the sled that Speki and Svanna were trudging through in the snow, the great Spartan General has already made enemies within the nine realms; starting with Odin, Thor, and the rest of the Aesir -- for the death of Baldur.

Which? was Odin's favorite son, his closer. It wasn't gonna be an easy journey for the retired and esteemed God of War and his son; which told by prophecy, that he'll betray his father and go into servitude to Odin & to Asgard as it's prince.

The demigod would slide the sled into their protection stave, as he saw Atreus standing outside with the deer that they scavenged for along with the other kills that Kratos got for the two.

"Boy, I have returned with our hunt. Ready the fire. Then? We feast, and then to bed."

Atreus nodded in his father's direction, jotting what he said; as he was journaling about the events that transpired pre-Ragnarok.

"Yes, sir. Let me just go check on Fen and the wolves."

Atreus would make his rounds to Speki & Svanna's kennel to drop them off some juicy tendered venison that was gutted from the deer they captured on the way back to the stave.

"Eat up, Speki. Eat up Svanna. Gotta keep your strength."

Atreus would then head over to Fenrir, as the wolf was laying half livingly; as he plopped down aside to the wolf with it's body resting upon his lap.

I think cory barlog needs to stop being a coward and give Kratos old man yaoi

[neechees]

Since it's Angrboda appreciation week, a random detail that I'll bring up again is that Cory Barlog a few years ago pointed out that Kratos holding Atreus takes Kratos out of Spartan Rage and calms him down immediately (so it's love, the love Kratos has for people close to him calms him). And then later in his journal, Atreus says that thinking about Angrboda and what she's feeling helped him while in his own shapeshifter mode and calmed him down, & outright says he thinks this is how his dad does the same thing

We will be the gods we choose to be, not those who have been.

Don’t be sorry. Be better.

Furiosa PSA 1/?

Been seeing a lot of misinterpretation and misinformation with regards to Furiosa, so I wanted to address just a few things I've seen going around in one place that people on here can easily refer to.

Is Furiosa replacing Max as the focus of the franchise going forward?

No. Furiosa is a prequel that's been in the works since it was originally conceived of as an anime in the 2000s until that eventually fell through. There will be no shift towards her character being the singular focus of the franchise.

Why didn't we just get a sequel with Max?

There is at least one Max story, The Wasteland, that is planned to be turned into a future project after Furiosa. It will take place between Furiosa and Fury Road. Miller just wanted to tell Furiosa's story first.

Why aren't we seeing any sign of Tom Hardy?

Despite the fact that Max may be showing up in Furiosa in some capacity, not to mention the fact that the character will obviously be the focus of the The Wasteland, Tom Hardy is likely not returning to play Max. This is in part due to his behavior on the set of Fury Road which has left Miller and co. unlikely to work with him again. He did sign on for two other projects, but at this point his reappearance is incredibly doubtful.

Who will play Max going forward?

At this point we don't know who will be carrying on the mantle of Max Rockatansky, but once we get to production on The Wasteland we'll undoubtedly get some answers. Miller is an unconventional storyteller, and so a James Bond approach to Max himself seems probable, with different actors portraying the same individual across various media.

Given that Furiosa takes place 45 years after The Fall, is Max the Feral Kid?

No. Max is the same person from the original trilogy.

Is George Miller riding the modern wave of doing prequels, reboots, etc. in order to cash in on a character that people loved in Fury Road?

Fury Road was the result of two decades of development from George Miller's initial idea of the story while standing on a sidewalk in 1996. After the initial version of the film which was supposed to star Mel Gibson as an older version of Max (to tie more directly into the period of time after Beyond Thunderdome) fell through due to the Iraq War and financial struggles, the surrounding lore of Fury Road was expanded significantly. This resulted in the creation of two other scripts which became the basis for Furiosa and The Wasteland, respectively. Taken together, Furiosa, The Wasteland, and Fury Road represent one singular trilogy tying Miller's modern iteration of Mad Max together. As a result, Furiosa is hardly some unrelated prequel banking on modern perceptions of how much people liked Furiosa-it was simply a story that was always meant to be told. The same goes for The Wasteland, which is the second chapter in what can be considered the "Fury Road Trilogy." The Wasteland itself was meant to be a video game developed as a collaboration between George Miller and Cory Barlog (the man behind the modern God Of War games), but this was something that never happened. Instead, Avalanche Studios released a game in 2015 which liberally borrowed from Miller's mythos in ways that he expressly did not want them to. As a result he distanced himself from the project and has disavowed his connection to it. It appears that there is now talk of turning The Wasteland into a TV show, but we'll have to wait and see for more confirmation on this.

Why aren't we getting Charlize Theron in Furiosa?

George Miller didn't want to use de-aging tech on this film because he thought it wasn't convincing enough.

Immortan Joe and co.?

We will be getting a good bit of a younger Immortan Joe, although to my knowledge it's still uncertain as to who's playing him. His conflict with Dementus is going to play a key role in the story of the film. Nathan Jones will be returning as Rictus Erectus, along with Angus Sampson as the Organic Mechanic. Quentin Kenihan obviously couldn't reprise his role as Corpus Colossus due to the fact that he unfortunately passed away in 2018.

Is the pacing/storytelling going to be similar to Fury Road?

Furiosa is a movie that takes place over the course of 15 years and involving multiple road wars and various other events which is going to make its storytelling significantly different to Fury Road. Whereas that narrative had one large chase stringing together all of its components, Furiosa will be vastly larger in scale and scope.

Ragnarök Is Coming (Part Three)

Kratos would search through the woods for his son, of course -- the behemoth was filled with worry; he's lost Calliope and his first wife & then losing Faye.

He was extra vigilant & watched over his son like a hawk, not to be a "big jerk" or a "complete asshole" as Atreus labeled him; but deep down? he fears that he'll lose his son like he's lost his first wife and daughter.

"Boy, where are you?! Do you hear me?"

His voice bellowed through the forest, as he was slaying all matter of creature, venturing through the caves and reaching the pinnacle -- only to be tackled by an oncoming bear; wrestling it to the ground and unsheathing his axe.

He was ready to fight the foul beast to get to Atreus & his whereabouts.

Kratos uproared, and began to spar with the bear for a couple hours; and would slaughter the animal -- rushing to what seemed to be the footprints of a child. it was Atreus's footprints.

He found the young archer, after fighting off raiders and hel walkers; and would stand in front of his son.

"Atreus, where have you been? I told you to STAY ON THE PATH. We are going home."

Atreus being slightly irritated with his father's lack of trust and doubt -- he buried his heels into the snow and would confront him head on.

"If you trust me, I might be able to show you something. If we work together. Besides-- Sindri was with me THE ENTIRE TIME!"

Kratos looked over his shoulder, and would then retort.

"Trust? You have broken my trust. You are my son and you lie. Stay and we will speak more of this."

There was more urgent but pressing matters at hand, as thunder rippled and cracked in the sky; which could only mean one thing? Thor is here and he's here with a vengeance. which means? Odin isn't too far behind.

The two would arrive back into the stave, seeing dead kol-raiders and dead bounty hunters and hel-walkers scattered. Their stave is no longer protected -- which now gives Odin and the Aesir free reign to hassle them and make their journey difficult.

They would enter the cabin, shutting the door behind them and laying their weaponry by the foot of their beds, laying down and shutting their eyelids -- for whatever 'trouble' encounters them in the morning or even tonight.

Thunder bolts would strike through their roof, which awakened and alerted the Spartan and he would reach for his axe and nodded at Atreus to get his bow and arrow -- to have his quiver at the ready.

Kratos would rush to their door and would fling it open and heard the aesir make his descent.

Thunder would emit and circle around the thunder god, which caused the god of war to shout out.

"Who are you!?!"

The mysterious figure would sway his furred cape to the side; with Mjolnir tethered to his hip with lightening emitting from the hammer and his fingertips -- he proceeded to reach for his mead.

"may I come in? I have mead."

And, that's when Kratos knew it was none other than the father of Magni & Modi -- the sons of Thor that met their demise by his cursed blades from a foreign land far from here with foreign magic etched into them. The "mysterious figure" was: The God of Thunder himself, Thor. The son of Odin. who also happens to be the brother of Baldur; who shared the same fate.

Kratos was eye to eye with the deity, as he motioned with his axe for him to enter his humble abode -- his eyes not leaving Thor's blazing glowing blues; walking over to the table where Atreus had two cups ready for the men to drink. or at least a cup ready for their uninvited guest.

Thor would take a seat, raising up the bottle of mead after unscrewing the cork on it and pouring the reddish liquid into his cup and attempting to pour it into Kratos's; as a form of being gentlemanly.

Kratos stopped him after pouring the mead into his cup, making him set it down between the two of them in the center. He isn't privy to small talk or fond of it. He just wanted to know what he wanted and why he was here.

Thor: "y'know, you could of told me before I poured. Just tryin' to be polite."

Kratos would eye him sternly, as he retorted with the following. Straight to the point.

"what is it you want? I do not have what you seek. Leave my home."

it was clear why Thor was here, and it was to abstract vengeance onto the god killer that slaughtered his sons and his brother. but not until Odin says otherwise.

As ravens would then proceed to caw, it was none other than the lord of the hanged himself, Odin. Huginn and Muninn flew into his arms; which made his inkless arms appear to be inked.

The raven god would enter and would confront The God of War with the murders of his grandsons and his other son.

Odin slamming his palms atop of the wooden table.

"Now, what you did to his boys? I'll call it self defense. They were pretty useless,"

Odin would mutter to Thor, and then proceeded on.

"--But, what you did to Baldur? Not forgivable. Sure... he may have lost his mind; but he had value and now he's no longer with us-- BECAUSE OF YOU.

He was my closer, so- I'm willing to cut you a deal. I'll handle your debt with my traitorous ex; if you promise to no longer spill ANY MORE aesir blood.. and to tell HIM to stop on his quest for Tyr."

Odin's eyes averting to the young archer,

Thor: "we know what you've been up to. Stop it."

Odin would chime in, "He's dead. You understand?!"

The king of the norse gods would then continue his ploy,

"--and then we're square, seek no quarrel with us and we won't seek any with you. Kick your feet up and relax. isn't that what you want?"

Kratos thought it over, still in disbelief that his own flesh and blood lied to him about where he's been going -- and Odin's promises never last. if he tells you snow isn't white? he's lying.

"No,"

Odin wasn't too pleased to hear that, as he turned his head over his shoulder when turning his back to the retired God of War -- muttering into Thor's ear.

Odin: "--Don't take all day."

Thor nodded, before untethering his hammer from his hip as it emitted thunder and would spin it around.

Thor: "Bout time. Now--"

Thor would lunge at the Ghost of Sparta, levitating in the air as his big hand held Kratos's head with his jawline pinned against Mjolnir.

Thor: "You're new to these lands, and we have a thing called blood payments. I'll take it from you for what you did to Baldur and my sons--

You'll pick it up!"

He threw the demigod from above to hit the ice cold ground, as the god of thunder landed on his feet; and the two would spar. It could be felt throughout all the nine realms.

[sorenblr]

[supercityboys]

Kratos’ first real story being about Atreus’ namesake and Cory Barlog’s “what about bi?” are connected and a smarter woman could put them together

[lokis-wager]

I'm tired of being problematic! From now on, I'm only going to ship wholesome stuff, like Faye X Kratos-

What's that? They're both violent warriors who have committed murder and assault in their pasts? Oh.

Well if I ship them I must be condoning assault and murder! Alright, let's try something else, like Kratos X Freya-

Oh wait, Kratos is still a murderer. And Freya condemned her son to a fate worse than death.

Huh. Well, if I ship them, I must be supporting assault, murder, and parents who abuse their children. Alright, let me try something else, like Atreus X Heimdall -

Huh? Age gap? Oh right, one of them is a literal minor! And one of them is a warrior - so again, probably killed some people. Wait, Atreus killed people too. He literally killed Modi in cold blood! And Heimdall's ability is to literally invade people's minds, so you know, that's pretty gross.

Alright, so shipping Freya, Kratos, Atreus, or Heimdall with anyone is bad, as it condones assault, murder, abuse, and invading people's privacy. What about Odin- okay, well. He's even worse. Obviously. Okay how about Thor X Sif - well. No, that's condoning alcoholism. Fuck.

Wait... aren't some of these ships canon????!!! Does Cory Barlog (and all the GoW writers) unironically support murder, abuse, assault, and alcoholism????

Listening to Like a Tattoo and thinking about Atreboda is this mental illness or delusion
