Also proves he dropped his godly power. If he had godly power it wouldn't have effected him. Default health? Gameplay mechanic.
Didn't mean in that way. Still doesn't mean it was as strong as pillars. And Atlas look as if he wasn't even trying to even crush Kratos, it looked like he was just sitting there.
Lol once again Gumachi misinterprets some dialog and attributes it to mean something else ENTIRELY. He still had rage of Poseidon yes? Did you not see that I explained it already? That is a 'godly power'. That does not mean he was still a god. If he was he could have turned back into giant size at will just as all the other gods are able to do. He was already a mortal dude. Get over it.
Secondly, Athena IS NOT only human sized, she like all the gods can change their size, and their giant size is the 'default' one. When Kratos is shown in the beginning sitting on his throne in olympus, he was already in his giant size. Athena was too. That's why they were the same size in that scene. When Kratos free falls down to the Earth, he didn't change size along the way, and when he reached the Earth he was already a giant. Fancy that eh? lol.

It's all there for you to see....in the scene man...his red orbs get completely drained first. Then he goes back to the sword and it drains his blue orbs and you can see the magic bar getting smaller until its gone. Then finally he goes back to the sword for the last time and it drains his green orbs and his health bar decreases until it is tiny.
The pouring his power into the blade bit was an official plot device to explain why have to you go from the fully upgraded kratos that you had near the end of GoW 1 to starting over completely from square one. That's why initially in the gameplay you start out with all the moves, health bar and magic bar quantity that you enjoyed once. Only to have it taken away for you as hit rock bottom and have to climb back up.
Nah? Oh amazing! You can say Nah? Ohhhh me too! Nah. See above.
Nope. Proves what I said. That fully upgraded kratos, not even god, just fully upgraded kratos could take that without a problem. Gameplay mechanic? Ohhh don't you just sound oh so clever thinking you won something there. Sorry, that was a direct canon confirmation of a gameplay mechanic to demonstrate that Kratos starts out his quests much weaker than when he finishes them. End.
As strong as pillars? Course not. Much STRONGER.
