"They are all natural lightning bolts. Appearing slow is irrelevant, "
Can you source me the evidence for this? How is them actually being slow irrelevent? Can you prove their all the same? Because I can tell you their not, the one in GoW 3 for instance took ages to charge, looked very different to other versions and blasted Gaia away. The ones your probably talking about in GoW 2's fight are slow moving ball lightning that Zeus can spam relatively quickly.
"Ever played God of War? To parry you need to press the block button just as the projectile / attack is about to hit you. Kratos reacts to Zeus' lightning after it is fired."
How do you know pressing the button is not just initating Kratos blocking after already seeing the bolt charged at him? Its impossible to tell when the player is in control.
"You are so dishonest
I am the only one who has actually shown the speed and caclulated it thus far and my interpretation does not rely on hyperbole, its based on actual shown events in the series.
"Both Ares and Poseidon dash from the top of Olympus to the halfway point in seconds "
I just re-watched the scene. You literally see Hermes slowly running from the top to only a few meters down before the scene cuts off....so again, we only see him running slowly as I expected. Hades does not even run, he jumps off, you can calculate gravity and his likely terminal velocity but I doubt its going to come up hypersonic, not sure anything falls at hypersonic speeds.
"By this logic no one in fiction is superior to Subsonic unless stated."
Not at all, by this logic we go by what is shown. We know when a time slow is in effect because we physically see things moving slowed. Its not even time were worried about alone, if someone runs and is making craters where their running and are launched in the air their acceleration on impact with the ground is high, regarldess of how fast they look.
We see nothing to suggest hermes is any faster than he appears.
"fire a bolt of natural lightning"
How natural the lightning is in each circumstance and whether Zeus "always" fire natural lightning remains to be scene. There are many different forms of lightning in GoW, and in fiction in general. GoW has bolts from the sky, it has bolts charged up, it has slow moving ball lightning and this can all be seen even in real time (with non superhumans) reacting to them.

Unless the debris, fire and everything else, including the wind moving Zeus' hair is all moving a lightning/reletavistic speeds that lightning is not natural or as fast as it. Their strength is not all that high either, see in that scene where a stone tower takes some time before Zeus' stomp makes it give? If anything GoW needs a downgrade heavily, its the hyperbole like those stated in that blog that gives it any higher credence but the actual mainline canon in the games shows us quite clearly in many ways their capabilities.
Also, is there any proof that the "last spartan" is anything but a human spartan? He gave Kratos a little bit of a fight. Not much but something.
