Kratos and Helios being ironic bros for 9 minutes straight
God of War Ragnarök is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is scheduled to be released worldwide on November 9, 2022, for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. It will be the ninth installment in the God of War series, the ninth chronologically, and the sequel to 2018's God of War. Loosely based on Norse mythology, the game will be set in ancient Scandinavia and feature series protagonist Kratos and his teenage son Atreus. Serving as the finale to the Norse era of the series, the game will cover Ragnarök, a series of events that bring about the end of days, and depicts the deaths of some of the Norse gods, which was foretold to happen in the previous game after Kratos killed the Æsir god Baldur.

The insinuation that him & Helios would be bros after Kratos literally *ripped his fucking head off* is actually hysterical.
Did the same to Mimir, so why not 😂😂😂
@@chriswihulu The difference there is that Mimir asked for it willingly and by his own choice. Helios however....Kratos just found out his power being useful.
@@DJKO12X I know, it was just a joke, nothing more really.
average older brother behavior:
being bros is the only option kratos has since killing helios would also kill mimir
I love how annoyed Mimir and Tyr are with Helios. At least he and Kratos had history, but Mimir and Tyr knew him for less than 5 minutes and they were already roasting him 😂
Especially since Mimir and Tyr are both very kind and understanding, but Helios pisses them off in record time.
Well considering for the short time we knew him he was quite chatty even as far to try to deceive Kratos. I'd say this is how he would be had he remained a living dangling head and realising Kratos use of his power as a mere flashlight while all of Olympus is destroyed already
Tyr knows Helios isn't real and that Kratos has complicated feelings for him, Kratos would be worse if Tyr sided with the self depreciating monologue in his literally external head
Well to be fair, Mimir has stated the Greek pantheon “had it coming” so he already had a low opinion of Helios. Tyr has visited there so he probably shares that view.
@@matthewriley7826that’s a really good point. Since Mimir said the whole Pantheon had it coming, I assume he regards them all as trash. Speaking of the pantheon, I think some members survived? I thought in some side material Apollo and Artemis survived
5:40 I can’t help but think Kratos goes to put his axe away and Helios just fucking bites him
It does look like that
Oh, if you could’ve heard the sound I made after reading that…
LMAO
helios: (angrily bounces away like a pissed-off basketball)
How did I miss since so golden?? 💀
“he IS bitter, isn’t he?” -Mimir The smartest man alive.
Considering the pantheon, the bitterness is unsurprising, circumstances not withstanding.
"I'm back to brighten your day!" -Helios The Brightest Man Unalive
Finally, a worthy combatant. Our battle shall ring throughout the AGES!!! -Bitter Squirrel.
Smartest. Man. Alive.
"alive" well, sort of.
“Is *he* necessary?” mans was starting to lose it with the sun 😂
quoting this every time it's slight hot out.
As someone living in a very sunny place, while hating it: "he is literally me, fr, fr".
I love their friend/enemy relationship. Yeah I hate you and want you to suffer…. but hey, watch out, those guys are charging at us!
Hey, if you’re along for the ride, might as well see how it ends.
massive potato glados vibes
I love how Kratos is just so done with the shit he did with the greek pantheon. He sees the head of one of his most brutal victims and he just says "hello, where is the other guy?"
The way that he insulted him from having his families ash on his skin is insane 8:07
Valhalla testing Kratos' anger😂
They have faded though. I think the ashes fading are a representation of his character growth. So maybe in the next game he might start to look like how he looked back in the original god of war before he killed his family.
@@clips-are-random I dont really like that idea. Kratos' appearance, red tattoo and ashen skin is one of the things that makes him unique
That shit had me speechless the video not the game I don’t have a ps5🥲
@dastardlyruby74737 you know it's on ps4 too right?
It is wonderful to hear Crispin Freeman reprise this role, and actually get to speak some more.
Yesss, and I love the fact he’s a bit more aggressive with the voice acting. Makes him sound like he did when voicing Alucard in hellsing
I can’t help but feel worse for TC Carson though unfortunately, cause Freeman getting his role back has got to sting even worse. Imo they shouldve gotten him to voice young Kratos when Kratos confronts himself about his past.
The fact that he also voiced Itachi and Alucard and I couldn't recognize him as Helios....The man has range in his voice.
@@DarthSigma86 when I first played Valhalla, I heard Helios talk and thought, “his voice sounds like Alucard.” I had completely forgot it was the same person lmaoo😂
IT'S HIM?????
Just realize thst Helios counted himself as among the group of assholes of the greek gods.
I mean the only one hed be lying to is himself
With Hermes being on top
Hades is the only decent one lol, everyone else if either a rapist or a mass murderer (in the actual mythology)
@@chet822funny you should mention that, Ares iirc is also quite the decent fellow. He does a few shitty things here and there but he does care about his family in his own way. Funny how fucking media always portrays them as villains though lmfao. Hephaestus is the kindest god there is but the guy was so fucking broken that he was tricked into raping Athena. I honestly feel bad but I still blame his family for fucking him up.
"Zeus' brood" is Kratos, Helios is not a son of Zeus
8:07 That was personal 🥶
Damn…he really said that…
@@redninja0078Yeah damn 🤯🥶🥶
0:19 i love that Kratos actually said hello instead of just ignoring him and asking where Mimir was a second time. shows his growth - he's much more willing to humor people who don't really deserve it
Don’t remember Helios being this funny
Because he wasn't like this in the originals, he was more normal and respectable. You could argue this is just Valhalla doing this, or Kratos' head, or him being upset he got beheaded, but his personality here really feels more like Hermes' schtick.
he wasn't that funny as a severed head before but now he's gotten better
@@SteelBallRun1890In all fairness, if Helios wasn't saved prior, I'd assume he would have been just as unbearable. Kratos does say that all Olympic Gods were as proud as they were unbearable (more or less)
@@thegoldenbrickstone I'm basing what I know of Helios on what little we see of him before all this. In the Chains of Olympus ending, he has like 10 seconds of talking time, and he was very formal talking about him even going "should we help him?" when talking to Athena. In GOW3, the gods are already all messed up by Pandora's box, but when Kratos takes him down he still shows gratitude to Kratos and admits he owes him for saving him in CoO. He only turns sides when he realizes Kratos wants the Flames of Olympus, knowing what Kratos plans (kill all gods/destroy Olympus/kill Zeus) it's reasonable that he immediately tricks him.
Sometimes, it just takes a head to gain a new outlook on life. Look at Mimir.
8:38 "Quiet, head"
Helios is the best part of the Valhalla DLC. His lines and interaction with Kratos is hilarious.
i like how while helios clearly has his own personality, his existence and consciousness is still only a projection of kratos mind which is why he still provides callouts in combat and also insults kratos with all the things he hates about himself. it kinda reminds me a bit of the joker in batman arkham knight
6:35 keep inventory players when lost in a cave
Okay, that crack about the ash on his skin was painful to hear. But Helios' tirade at the end of the video was _vicious._
0:38 that “again” is extremely similar to athena’s at the end of GOW3
I’m glad it wasn’t just me. I couldn’t find any other comments about it. I think it was intentional by the VA
My hallucination... ends now!
I still find it soo.. Odd hearing "Wrong weapon man!" In a medieval or Viking like time setting.. Its funny tho nonetheless
Yeah there is a lot of modern talk in the dialogue. Atreus and Odin really guilty of it
@@scottprice4955 And Thrud saying the Asgard tavern "sucks"
Who else got hyped when u found out they recasted the same dude who played Helios Edit: haven't gotten this many likes in a minute
Crispin Freeman is a fantastic voice actor
@live10yearsinthejointreact80 yea the delivery was on point as well seems like he enjoyed this role
They got Will Harper / Red Arrow / Itachi Uchiha back
@@Sheenifier and Kaito from Lost Judgement a spinoff of the Yakuza series
I loved when I heard his voice. it would have been really cool if they had TC Carson voice young Kratos for abit too
The part when Tyr speaks about how the surviving Greeks still tell the story of Kratos ripping Helios' head off made me chuckle
I love how even týr is confused as why helios is there.
4:17 Helios: Take this shield from Chains Of Olympus Kratos: Why not give me the Gauntlet of zeus? Helios: why would you want- Kratos: It gives me a giant arm and it looks awesome Helios: i can't do- *O appears on helios' head*
Nooooooo😂😂
What kind of ⭕️ you are talking about? 🗿😬😬
Surprised to hear Itachi so petty 😂😂
All I hear is Alucard
Getting your head ripped off and being used as a lantern is crazy
Knowing it was a cut scene I was still mashing every button at 1:00
Kratos was really about to pull a balde on a head 😂
"How did it feel setting yourself on fire? I think you might still have some ASH IN YOUR SKIN, am I crazy?" Ngl Helios went crazy with this one 💀💀💀
I love that they brought back Crispin freeman to reprise his role as everyone's favorite flashlight i mean sun god
Can't really blame him for being a bit snarky towards kratos, He did save his life only to be killed later
Mimir and Helios bickering on a tabletop would be peak comedy tho pff
King Eochus King Radamanthus King Minos
I like how kratos had to explain what kind of effects are hitting them like bifrost so that helios would just shut up
I know he's helios but all I hear after being a Digital Devil Saga fan boy. Is Heat Replace Kratos with Serph and you get the same effect
Just like in the meme: Helios' power is being a minor inconvenience.
I love the call back but really missed that they could have had TC come back for young kratos
Well they couldn't really..
I love how Helios constantly hates on him, but Kratos shows the amount of hate all the same😂
I never noticed how the animation studio gave those typical greek facial features to helios... meaning those seen in artworks or statues, such a nice detail 😊👌 TBH, I was just focused in him (or rather, kratos' perspective of him) being completely angry at kratos 😅😂
Kratos says later in the DLC 'What I did to Helios was wrong' and still was gonna sacrifice him to the flames 😭😭😭
4:59
I love it when a video title claims one thing and the actual content of that video shows the opposite.
Aka sarcasm. Irony can have us when it earns us, or something.
3:16 why couldn’t Apollo take over as far as we know he’s still alive
3:04 no choice could of not ripped my head off my body that was absolutely a option. 😂 He got us there kratos, Helios wasn’t even a threat anymore. Before we killed him.
Kratos and Helios is basically like joker and batman
Helios is the joker and kratos is the Batman right if it's completely wrong batman hold backs against joker and tries to help him meanwhile kratos don't give a shit about Helios kratos dosent care if helios dies lives oh nvm he cares if he lives tho
Hello helios, where is mimir? Most badass intro I've heard in a long time
The death I gave you is unjust. How can he say that so casually 😆
3:56 4:02
This DLC is the combination of the new game's engine with a mix of God Of War 2. 🔥🔥🔥
It's funny to hear how confused Helios is when he experiences the new debuffs 😂
This would feel and hit diff if I can remember anything about Helios except the fact kratos yanked his head off lol
Tŷr: is *he* necessary? Helios: I am the sun!
4:55 Halfway in.
Ah Crispin Freeman, also the voice of Alucard from Helsing.
Well I kinda understand I would be pissed if I got my head ripped off for almost no reason too
Crisipn Freeman judging me for my life choices for 9 minutes and 50 seconds. 😅
Helios over did it with the ash joke he knows whos ashes is on kratos skin
“He’s lost weight”
Every time Helios speaks I hear Alucard.
"WHAT...WILL...HE...CHOOSE!"
Wow, I love Lollipop Chainsaw
When helios said: "aye-aye asshole" he just cussed at the 1,055 year old sparta😂😂
Everyone seems to forget that Helios was trying to lie and manipulate Kratos into stepping into the flame of Olympus. An act Helios knew would kill Kratos, even though Helios stated moments beforehand that he would repay the debt he owed Kratos in full. Even though Helios' death was morbid, it was still deserved for such an oath breaker.
I really wish they had a way to have him throughout the main game
I love Helios
Helios was honestly the best thing for me in this dlc
That giant statue looks like a Hindu god
1:29 LOL
"Aye aye, asshole."
5:03 this has same vibes as "Kaio-what" from dbza.
thanks youtube for spoiling this to me, very cool
Is this the same voice actor that voiced him in God of war helios
Dude mad cause he got replaced
It would be cool if kratos still hold helios and after he reach nordic land kill mimir revived him back and there is 2 head one smart head and flashlight
I'm still not fully convinced that Valhalla didn't just resurrect Helios rather than this being a figment of Krato's memory.
There's no way he wasn't revived
Quite, hEAd
Isn’t helios his uncle as is hades & Poseidon
Yes the bloodline is weird lol
Helios is kratos brother
Ohh okay fr?
Actually he is kratos cousin
Helios is Zeus' older Cousin. And yes, Helios is Older than Zeus,Poseidon and Hades
I hate how mimir and tyr complain about helios, like he hasnt the right to be bitter when Kratos killed him and then sacrifaced him
This is just verbal abuse
I love that in the comment section everyone becomes a Greek mythology expert and they know nothing about Greek mythology considering that they're speaking about Ovid's fan fiction version and not the actual original Greek mythology 😂
Nothing Helios said was untrue, except for that one lie about the flame of Olympus. Anyone else wonder where Aphrodite, Apollo and Artemis went after the destruction of Olympus? I clearly remember Kratos clapped them goddess cheeks and never went back to see her again, like a true Olympian Chad.
Why does helios sound so familiar
Is this DLC? I don't remember seeing this in Ragnarok!
It is the DLC.
@@user-ju2cg1he3i Gaddamn, I didn't know they released DLC for God of War Ragnarok! That's awesome
It looks like they mixed up Helios and Hermes into one. I don't remember Helios being this obnoxious
Helios's death was not unjust at all lol
Explain. Because the way I see it, when Kratos tore Helios' head from his body, Helios was defending his home and his family. Sure, Helios apparently still owed Kratos a debt. But what would be more important to you if you were in his shoes? A debt, or protecting your home and family? Besides, I'm still not sure exactly how Helios was still indebted to Kratos. Kratos saved Helios, but then Helios saved Kratos. So unless something else happened since Chains of Olympus, they should have been square.
@@mitchellhayward6492Exactly. While Poseidon and Hades both held direct grudges against Kratos it didn’t seem as though Helios really bore any ill will towards Kratos in fact considering himself as owing Kratos a debt of gratitude. Kratos likewise didn’t have any direct ill will towards Helios. However, Helios was understandably trying to defend his home and family which in Kratos’ eyes meant he had to die as he was standing in the way of his vengeance. If that wasn’t the case Kratos would’ve spared him. That’s what makes Helios’ death unjust imo, if anything aside from Athena and Aphrodite it seems as though Helios was pretty much one of the few Olympians that Kratos could have considered a “friend” of sorts but he died for defending his home. I see a lot of people comparing Helios and Hermes’ deaths as being similar situation wise but to me the big difference with Hermes is that Kratos would’ve just walked on by him as he didn’t think he was worth his time until Hermes (stupidly and arrogantly) decided to provoke Kratos to get a rise out of him. From a game mechanics point of view it made the most sense for Helios’ head to replace Mimir for portions of the game but from a story perspective I think there’s alot more to it than that - that being that Valhalla projected Helios because Kratos felt the most guilt for his death over the other gods he killed in his quest for vengeance.
@@mitchellhayward6492Technically his death was probably the only thing that could free him from the evils of Pandora’s box
@@mitchellhayward6492 I always felt that Kratos killed him, because Helios talked shit about Haephestus, who was an outcast too
@@mitchellhayward6492Helios lied to kratos about how to acquire the power of the flame of Olympus. Telling him to touch it to claim it's power. If kratos didn't know touching it killed u already at that point, he would have died. Helios tried to trick him into dying. Then when called out for lying he tried lying again. And at that point kratos was done with second chances.
Which game is this?
helios is a bratty gay
Graphics did him dirty, he looked hot in GOW 3 but noe that i look to thus version... i skip!
I really hate the direction of the game has taken, Kratos isn't sorry one bit, helios deserved it and saying it was unjust is false. Keep in mind Helios and his brothers were against him, he was going to kill Kratos otherwise, i swear the devs haven't played the old god of war, where helios tires to kill kratos while he's fighting a Chimera Kratos would havw forgiven the gods had they just made his life miserable, instead they also made his Mom's and brother's life hell. Zeus made Kratos kill his own mother who became a monster I don't plan on buying or playing Ragnarock anytime soon, they have destroyed a beloved franchise beacuse Cory felt that Kratos should be a dad beacuse he is one, David Jaffe and other old players hate new Kratos because he isn't Kratos, Cory is ignoring events from GOW 1 and 2 like how Kratos whenever tired to have a family the gods would destroy it. Go Cory you a White Knight, you destroyed the only thing about Kratos which made him Kratos his anger, hatred, frustration and resentment towards the gods. Im sure Anita Sarkeesian will let you hit it
I kind of forget what happened in these games a week after I play them. I remember the old storyline feeling like it was written by a teenager, but in a fun way, but I also knew it was dumb. The new one sounds like it was written by a dad, and I think I was compelled at the time, but I also didn't really care after because it was still just a video game story. I wouldn't let this stuff affect you too much. End of the day, Kratos is just a sony mascot who exists to make money, nothing more, nothing less, and I think this game sold well. You might as well b**ch about Mario's narrative not being dramatic enough for all the good it would do you. Also I wouldn't want to hang out with anyone who honestly says any version of Kratos influenced major parts of their lifestyle, but that's just me.
Helios' death was indeed unjust the way it happened, the death itself maybe not but the method most certainly, if you'd played the old games and paid any attention you'd know why.
Ngl my little brother plays better than whoever is behind all this gameplay 😭
never liked these games, they make the gods these goofy non threatening evil peopel
No one asked
