When your previously deceased wolf overtakes the soul of some giant demon dog from hell, and is revived as a massive dimension hopping mythical puppy with big teef
Atreus: Hey Brok? How do I tell if a girl likes me?
Brok: I tell ya’ what ya’ do.
[Walks around his table and gets in the Boy’s face]
Brok: You walk up to her and say “Do you like me?”. If she says “Yes”, she likes yer. “No” means ya move on and quit wasting’ yer time. [Walks back to the business side of his table]
Kratos: [Mildly approving grumble and walks off].
Brok: [Leans over table and whispers to Atreus]
Come back once yer dads are sleepin’, an’ I’ll give yer the master class on wooing women.
One of my absolute favorite Atreus scenes in Ragnarok, tries learning from his father and fails miserably. I think its so fricken cute he tries to do what Kratos does when opening chests
ok ok. but the way kratos cries when he sees the mural depicting him as a god that’s worshipped and loved because all his life fate has bound him to being a god-killing monster. for the entirety of these two games kratos has tried to make himself a better person and repent for all he did. even as ragnarok started he was furious he had to be tied up in yet another war,,, only to finally learn that it was all worth it - that he’s something more than the ghost of sparta and that he’s destined for something greater. that hit hard man im fucked up
the mission where Kratos is introduced to Thrud and Angrboda is so funny because even though you’re like at mid battle it’s peak dad being introduced to son’s friends. Thrud and Atreus fighting with Kratos but it’s like he’s taking them to the mall
I have made the decision that what Atreus initially mistakes for a crush on Thrud is actually admiration for her display of femininity & the desire to obtain something similar for himself. For gender fluid purposes, of course.
