Hurhurhur. 😛Achilles because he reminds me of Spiderman. And Odysseus. Aeneas is awesome too. =D
Very easily actually. Which is not to say they're bad games of course, just not my particular cup of tea.

No fear or uneasiness. I just think it's very stupid.

Not so much that so much as the constant *****ing Kratos is known for. Particularly the 2nd game onward.

Hehe I actually once had to do a presentation on that. 😆
Both represent the ideals of what a hero is of the time. Both are exceptionally strong and skilled individuals and blah blah blah. Both are known for *****ing but in different ways. Achilles cries a lot. And I mean a lot. So all the emotions inside him are released and consequently make him a better fighter for it. Spidey bottles it all up which results in his powers going away out of depression and him actually manifesting an evil alternate personality. Both is ironic because I don't think people in Ancient Greek would have had a hard time expressing emotions like the people of today do, which leads to a nice contrast between the two heroes and time periods. Lastly, Achilles returns Hectors body to Priam (though he had to be begged and ordered to by the gods, which is understandable because he was emotional) and Spidey returned Norman's body to Harry immediately after(Spidey isn't the type to torture a corpse of a man who didn't really do anything to him). Said scene was awesome for my project. And yes, I was only using the Movies Spider-man. Comics are probably really different.
Based on?

Suicide . Wouldn't suggest that for most people but since Kratos is a bastard who shows no desire of fitting into society while killing innocent people, I'll make an exception in his case.
Also, the dude gained the power to travel through time. Why not just travel back to the time where he killed his family and stop himself before he killed them? Happy ending right there!

Yep. Didn't work. Try again.
Yeah I watch Extra Credits too. And yeah, Kratos from the first game is much more likeable than in later installments. Not that he was a nice guy in the first one, just more understandable.

@AuraI think you're looking into a fictional character far too close and enjoy him for all the reasons it's fake and we can.
Not really. I'm a story teller. If something bothers me in a story, I can't ignore it.

Yeah, he's a roid rage filled psychopath from the Second Game onwards, but he somewhat gets a little better after meeting Pandora. But hey, when you have Supreme Forces constantly f***ing your life over after you sacrifice a lot for them, he's entitled to b****ing about it.
How did you do on the presentation? Also, damn, I would never have gotten away with comparing a mythological character to a movie/comic book one. Lucky bastard.
The inherent superiority of GoW to KH...313

People try to delude themselves into believing he was, but he was always a glorified serial killer.
Him going back to being a conquerering douchebag was not character derailment. For the sheer reason that getting over his wife and child's death (Which he never actually did) would only make him go BACK to being a glorified serial killer/conquerering douchebag.
Kratos has NEVER been a "likeable" character, people only delude themselves into thinking otherwise.

@ auraIt's all subjective anyways but I tend to go for the vengeance fueled badasses. To each his own.
Why should he want vengeance on anyone but himself? He killed his family himself.

Not really. Not while he is doing evil deeds anyway, like completely screwing over the planet.
Pretty good. Went over the time limit though. And yeah, it was an awesome assignment.
Why is GOW superior to KH? I'm simply curious, it may very well be. 😛
