One particular fan of 2018’sGod of Warhas taken the time to replace Kratoswith clips of Tony Soprano and they fit together perfectly and hilariously.God of Warhas been massively successful, with players citing specifically enjoying seeing the relationship between Kratos and Atreus. While Kratos and Tony have very dissimilar personalities, there is enough commonality with the two of them that the humor in this flows easily.
While Tony is certainlymore talkative than Kratos, both gruff and grumbly characters known for their acts of violence, as well as struggling with how their pasts comes back to haunt their sons. Hearing Tony reference and give commentary on these things in scenes where players would only usually expect a grunt or short answer from Kratos gives hilarious insight. The video features Tony telling Atreus that he needs to learn impulse control and referring to his crippling magic bursts as “panic attacks.” When Freya talks to him about his son not knowing his true heritage, Tony gives the line referring to stereotypes about people who work in waste management.

Many fans are already speculating on how the games will continue forward, especially since Kratos’s story, much like Tony’s, has come to an ambiguous end.The Sopranoshave gone on to create a prequel film based on the exploits of a young Anthony Soprano, and with many believing thatAtreus will be at the helm of theGod of Warnext gamein the franchise, it’s hard to imagine that Kratos won’t at least make an appearance. What first drew fans to both of these characters is how they both clearly had more to them than the violence that one first sees them associated with, and the rare moments when fans get to see a softer side of them come out.
Even with the game having been out for nearly half a decade now, and its sequel out for just under a month, fans are still discovering and creating new things aboutGod of War. It has recently been announced thatAmazon will be producing aGod of Waroriginal serieswith game director Cary Barlog serving as executive producer. There had been rumors about an adaptation for over a decade, but it was only on December 14th that it was officially confirmed that it would start at the 2018 reboot of the series rather than taking a route more similar to that ofThe Witcher’s production history and starting from the beginning.
With the ongoingaccolades and praise thatGod of War Ragnarokcontinues to receive, It’s a small wonder that something like this would garner so much attention. The game and its sequel, now being referred to as the Norse duology, painted a more human picture of Kratos. Combing his clips with the words of Tony Soprano, who is more forthcoming, both better illustrates Kratos’s more relatable moments, and make them considerably funnier.
God of War Ragnarokis available now for PS4 and PS5.
