I think it’s really worth mentioning with the creator constantly shitting on all of it relentlessly, that Cory Barlog has been involved in the franchise for decades as well. He was a big part of the series’ growth pre-GOW 2018, and I think that’s important to note
The last time David Jaffe (creator) & Cory Barlog (then director) publicly agreed on God Of War's path was in early 2006, more than 20 years ago.
Since Cory's reboot turned GOW into a billion dollar franchise David became the most prominent opponent of the new creative vision.
And if he was taking TRT nearing 50, i still really don’t care. Dude does a physical job and doesn’t want to get put on the shelf. It’s not recreational either (straight edge is intact imo).
CM Punk’s recent physique is not something to attribute to taking something. He’s been bulking up since late 2023 and getting in shape since his triceps injury to be in top shape by the summer of 2024.
Saying Punk is taking something really ignores the fact he’s been working hard for his body transformation and recently he’s had the guidance of his coach Jay Ferruggia who specializes in helping people the age of Punk to be in their best shape possible.
If you haven't watched the Chad Gable vs. Kaiser match, you really should stop whatever you are doing and watch it now. One of the great match presentations of all-time.
You must embrace the ridiculousness of the franchise and how it entwines the Disney nonsense with square’s attempts at a real story. Only then will you know peace 🫡
Could have even just ended after 1, but 2 also was a clean stopping point. I think the series is a total waste of effort to grow because it’s shackled by Disney nonsense. It will never reach a point where it can truly be its own thing.
