Why Kratos’ Height in God of War Ragnarok is More Significant Than Ever

Wowsers, so God of War, right? It’s been a wild ride watching Kratos evolve from this rage machine demigod to a… well, slightly less ragey dad figure. Crazy, huh? The Norse saga digs deeper into his soul or something—like he’s peeling back layers of an onion. Not that onions have anything to do with Greek demigods, but you get me. It’s no longer just about clobbering gods; now there’s this whole emotional, father-son dynamic.

When you sit Kratos from 2018 and Ragnarok next to his past self, it’s like… whoa, major transformation. Besides growing up emotionally—yup, that happened—he’s gotten a bit of a makeover. Seriously, after Ragnarok, this change in his height kinda makes him more intriguing. Weirdly crucial, almost? Yeah, that’s the vibe.

Anyway, let’s talk about old school Kratos. Remember when he was a massive hulk, probably about 7’0” to 8’0″? Like, that’s taller than my neighbor’s ridiculously huge Great Dane. And he was larger than life, both literally and figuratively. The new games scaled him down to a more relatable size, around 6’5”—still towering, but not so extreme. You think, is it the age shrink? Maybe. Or maybe it’s a clever way to make us see his more human side.

Oh, and then there’s the juicy speculation about what’s next for Kratos. Rumors are wild—Ancient Egypt? Kratos not being the main guy? Hard to say. There’s talk about his bro Deimos taking the spotlight in this side-scroller twist. Tempting, I know, but better not hold your breath till Santa Monica spills the beans.

For now, we’re just in this waiting game, hoping for news about Kratos’ next steps. It’s like waiting for an old friend to drop by with some crazy stories about their latest adventures. Whatever he faces next, it’ll probably reflect not just his mythical brawn, but his emotional meatiness. Weird as it sounds, keep an eye on how his height ties into it. Because, why not, right? Life’s too short not to dive into epic tales of growth—both literal and metaphorical.
