I still don't get how no one's figured out just how much of a dumbass Zeus was to even suggest the idea of Kratos using Pandora's Box to kill Ares, like they had just forgotten everything about what's been contained there, and then the Gods instead blame Kratos for everything that's transpired from him killing Thanatos to then getting whacked by Zeus to then coming back and then whacking the Sisters of Fate, the rest of Olympus and then Zeus himself, before Kratos kills himself in order to earn redemption, screw over Athena out of a payday and to save mankind from the Gods.
Like, Kratos is that one harbinger of death who should have been left alone from the very beginning. If they didn't kidnap his brother, he would have been your average prodigal Spartan with a happy family. If they didn't make his daughter sick, he would have no reason to instigate the wrath of Alrik or rob the latter's father of his life even if unwittingly, and it would not lead to their wars where Kratos is ultimately forced to sell his soul to Ares to be molded into the perfect warrior. And if Ares had just kept away far and wide from his wife and children and instead used them to further motivate Kratos to instead overthrow the Gods to protect them, then he would've easily had Olympus all to himself and the only ones dead would be the Olympians themselves. But nooooooooooooooo, they had to spill the beans everywhere they went. For all the might and perfection they have, they seem to be the dumbest pantheons in terms of making life choices, while making the Norse look incredibly cunning and smart in every step of the way imaginable. It's just hilarious as **** and I'm surprised no one made a joke about this.
