I still can’t get over the fact that the God of War adaptation is skipping the entire Greek era and jumping straight into the Norse one. The Greek saga is the foundation of Kratos as a character, and it’s where all his history, trauma, and motivation actually come from. Skipping it means new viewers won’t experience the events that shaped him, only whatever the show decides to mention or show in quick flashbacks.
And sure, flashbacks can add context, but they can’t carry the full weight of the original story. The Greek era isn’t just “what happened before”, it’s the entire reason Kratos becomes the man we meet in the Norse games. Reducing all of that to brief glimpses feels like a huge missed opportunity, especially for people who never played the original trilogy.
That’s why I really hope that if the series ends up being a hit, they eventually go back and give the Greek era the attention it deserves. A prequel season paired with the trilogy remake would be the perfect scenario to bring Kratos’ entire journey together for a new audience.

Jeffrey Wright says the backlash to him playing Commissioner Gordon in #TheBatman was 'fucking racist and stupid'
"It's just so blind in a way that I find revealing to not recognize that the evolution of these films reflects the evolution of society, that somehow it's defiling this franchise not to keep it grounded in the cultural reality of 1939 when the comic books were first published. It's just the dumbest thing. It's absent all logic"
