He did it to save his daughter
And like I said, they were damned either way. Either they'd be destroyed by Persephone's actions, or they'd be destroyed (?) by Kratos' actions.
a) He said it himself, he didn't go there to save the captain.
b) Those two were fighting to get up on the ledge. Kratos won.
Right. Helios would have also rolled over willingly and let Kratos kill Zeus right?
EDIT:
Gotcha. Ignore my response to the Helios comment then.

And that aforementioned humanity has larger effects on certain aspects or characters than on others. It's one of the driving points in Greek mythology itself, and God of War is not an exception to that. Every character thus far has acted out of something besides intentions of any kind of malevolence or sadism (except maybe Ares who even then was only ever as treacherous as he was out of presumably jealousy). The violence is just a result of that. That doesn't make anyone evil. It's war, and in war, people die. Fact is if there were classifications for anyone in GoW, it'd be Chaotic Neutral for virtually 100% of the major cast, and that's not too far from how it was in actual Greek mythology. Not evil.
Play the game, because you're just plain wrong here. It was pretty bluntly stated that the character who's life he had in mind was his daughter's, and it doesn't take an idiot to notice that leaving her again killed him on the inside. Hell, beforehand it was also just as bluntly said that being with his family again was "all that he ever wanted".
Anything for himself. Maybe. Always does things for himself. Nah.
We have the classic captain+key example you brought up earlier. He wanted to save those women.
CIS on Zeus' part, not PIS. He could have ended the fight the first time he got big.
Or he was just weakened from the drain and then recovered most of his energy back during the fight.

Indeed we did; Kratos couldn't counter the Lightning Storm.
It's just a hypothesis. Considering Zeus is pretty much the true wielder of the Blade, he could have. Kratos probably didn't know the Blade even existed until Zeus told him about it.
1. He technically didn't even kill him. He didn't save him either.
~ He is capable of 'evil' acts, I'm not denying that. That by itself doesn't make him evil though. He's capable of 'good' acts as well.
Link: I could let my enemies live and just walk away, but no, kiss my ass.
Pointless, but meh.

you mean his giving up his chance to see his daughter to save the world was an evil act? Why help a coward that left his men behind to die so he can do the same to you?
No this is a "how to make sure you won't get betrayed later by the a guy that left his crew for dead" line of thought. plus you failed to answer my question.

You still didn't give a reason why Kratos should save someone like him. GOW morality doesn't follow LOZ morality so applying it is fail in itself seeing as both have their definements on evil.
the captain didn't deserve to live if he was planning on ditching his troops like a coward.
