God of War Young Kratos Lifting Strength

[Egarroyo0330]

So Atlas, Cronos, Gaia, Hercules, and Zeus are all class E which makes sense, however what does not make sense is how Kratos is only Class T. Why would he be weaker than them when we literally see him overpower them in cutscenes, he overpowers Atlas in GoW 2 and Hercules, Cronos and Zeus in GoW 3, so wouldn't he have to be stronger than them? I imagine this was just a little mistake someone made and never noticed.

Bump.

Even then, it should actually be Class Z, as the mass of the crust is 2.6e22 kg.

Yeah, but it doesn't seem like anyone will ever change it, not like lifting strength decides the outcomes of battles often anyway though.

Also, that calc was assuimg Kratos was the size of the average human when he is confirmed to be 8'8 by the new devs and was said to be 8'6 by the GoW 3 devs during one of the bonus videos, also this is assuming that the GoW world is the roughly the same size as the normal Earth when really it would be way larger since a hypersonic Pegasus takes 6 days to fly to the edge of the World and that wasn't even from one side to the other, it was more in the middle, add in Olympus being about 9000 miles tall and the crust would be many orders of magnitude heavier than the real Earth and orginal calc, but I don't believe this wiki would use that, but it's interesting to know. Lastly, Atlas would only need one hand to hold up the Earth as said in the GoW 2 novel, so the feat would be even more impressive.

It does seem to be an actual statement, and comparing him to people like Baldur and others, it makes sense. I know that's an older Kratos, but I see no reason that he should've gotten shorter, plus his hallucinations of his younger self aren't larger. However, in other instances, not so much - but inconsistency is in practically every franchise.

I think the one hand thing could be used, but the others, I'm not so sure - Pegasus taking 6 days is likely a low-end showing and another inconsistency.

Mount Olympus being that tall would probably increase the mass by a fair amount though.

Yeah, there are a lot of weird moments that seem either like PIS, SIS, or drama, there are multiple that I can think of just in the new GoW, but to make the game more dramatic I suppose they can't have you walk through enemies as if they didn't exist.
