As bad as this stuff has gotten lately let's just remember that they have not ruined this franchise with dumb shit over something like 6 games now even though their starting premise was the main character being a black skinned Spartan born of Zeus and Callisto.
I cannot bring myself to care about the look of some obscure Norse giant that I had never heard of before today despite being a fan of Norse mythology in general.
As annoying as the hypocrisy of seeing European myths/cultural figures be changed, while supposedly it is a profound heresy to do that to other cultures, I still have hope.
Mainly because the whole father/son dynamic in the first game was really refreshing in an age where strong, competent, stoic father figures are extremely rare in popular culture and when they are there, are often presented as abusive or bad for the kids. Kratos's relationship as a strong, stern but loving father being GOOD for his son is pretty against the modern narrative--which is nice.
Hopefully they don't fuck that up.
