Was it really necessary to erase this Kratos? The confident, assertive, conquering god-killer? Jokes aside, whatever shit they invented for the reboot doesn't have 1/10th of this presence.
actually thought the animation for Kratos vs. Asura was good. I know a lot of people had problems with it, but I thought it was great.
Even if you disagree about Asura losing, given the power gap between the two it makes sense for Kratos to take little damage. It also put Kratos in some kind of a mentor or elder role to Asura, and let Kratos show how far he had come by defeating someone who had been down the same path as him. He wasn't just fighting Asura, he was TEACHING Asura. And I think that's very heartwarming in a way. That Kratos would take the lessons he learned and help someone who was just like him.
If this weren't a Death Battle I'm sure they would have ended cordially and taught each other well. The alternate ending is weird, even if heartwarming in its own way. It was nice to see Kratos reunite with his daughter, but it feels weird to have him just stand there and take that punch.
I haven't played Asura's game though (but after watching this fight I think I might watch a playthrough!) so I might be missing stuff but as a big GoW fan I thought they did Kratos justice and from what I saw they treated Asura with the utmost respect. What character has ever gotten an alternate ending made just for them?

I'll be honest if the reboot games didn't have the hold the left stick forward to awesome dad while absolutely fuckall happens I would call them better than the old ones.
The old ones fucking suck. The platforming is bad, the combat is braindead, the story is absolute garbage. You're playing bad DMC3 clones with none of the fun and where the only standout part is the graphics. But the graphics still suck.

It's a shame zoomers will only know Kratos as a soilet guzzling old faggot instead of what he actually used to be originally, what made this series known in the first place.

It's not revisionist, but it only describes some of his character. He's also extremely selfish and consumed by blind rage, that doesn't mean he can't be confident and assertive at the same time.

Kratos story begins when he's pathetically begging Ares to save him after Kratos lost a duel, he was always a loser

Just remember, the very first moment we see this man is when he's lost all hope and tries to kill himself. He was never some kind of too cool to care gigachad, he was always a broken soul haunted by the terrible things he'd done.

To be honest a lot of people would want to end their life in his position
Yes it was necessary to emasculate the masculine character

Funny thing is, at that point in the story, he had just been dead like half an hour ago and it was no different for him. So, I don't know what he was expecting.

There are 6 games of Kratos being a mass murdering destroyer hell bent on revenge. All of them are good. You can still play them. But if you thought Kratos was meant to be inspiring or good in any way, you're helpless.

He was too dysgenic, no one wants a literal two-dimensional character for a video game protagonist.
