Still America but it doesn't really matter. Some non-Americans love throwing down the "American" card every chance they get.

Edit: On topic, I personally never thought of it and don't care but I'm fine discussing it. He's greek I assume and I'm not a Jaffe fan but I'd expect he's a SME.

True. And many people outside America are very ignorant about the USA.

That is also true, most people around me don't give a fuck about anything outside their own bubbles. And maybe that's is correct way to live your life... I was always curious about how world operates and history of each region.

But I think statistics for USA would show higher % of ignorance, boosted by american exceptionalism (being told that you live in the best country in the world constantly) and educational system/media focusing mostly on internal USA stuff.

And this wouldn't be and issue (and wasn't in the past) but now with internet so many people make fool of themselves online... Especially in times where you can learn anything about the world in ~2s thanks to google and Ai.

You mean this isn't an accurate map of the US ? :messenger_grinning_sweat:

And that map could be accurate for young Americans as well:



Where the world is going...

Meanwhile I know the names of most states but can't place them on the map (outside of Alaska, west/east coast and Texas)

If what you know of a people and a country is entirely from the internet, then you don't know the people or the country. I'll leave it at that since this is getting way off topic.
 
What how? Gayness in Christian faith is a sin and Crusaders, Knights Templars, Conquistadors etc were some of the biggest Chads in history.
It's the "from God of war to warrior of christ" line that sounds straight out of christian conversion therapy.
 
Kratos is more christian than Spanish inquisition, he literally killed most of the pagan gods.

True but too bad he did it out of revenge and spite.
If someone from Santa Monica is reading this: the only logical redemption arc for Kratos is to ultimately to become christian

Yeah, he does kind have the look for it. He is probably gonna miss all that hair on his head for a while though 😅
Gonna give that tv series a chance, obviously not expecitng much but who knows, maybe i will be positively surprised, we will know lots more after first proper trailer :D
 
Yep, many Americans are very ignorant about the world outside USA.
Lets just say american education(and i mean middle/highschool and college lvl too) not doing their ppl any favours :D
I see clips of americans not being able to name 3 countries(heard them answering with alaska, africa, asia or even wakanda :messenger_grinning_sweat: )or to tell how many world wars we had till now :P

You can find just as many clueless videos of the algorithm'ed populace anywhere else as well. Especially them club slags in the UK and and other parts of Europe.

They only show the idiocy for engagement.
 
Why the shit is this even a debate!?

I'm full Greek. I'm white. My family is white. All Greeks are fucking white. Kratos is white with a tan because sun tan

I have to explain this in baby terms.

Never in a million years would I have had the slightest inclination ponder this. He's just a badass demigod videogame character. Some people are waaaaay too pressed about ethnicity stuff.
 
That's one cool thing about voice acting is it gives a much wider range to the types of characters you can help bring to life. A black guy can voice a Spartan and it still ends up working.

It's SUPER obvious that they picked black men to voice Kratos due to their voice tone, and not due to their personal skin complexion. I thought everyone knew this.

From what Jaffe said, they had no idea they were picking a black man at all. They had a number of voice samples and they picked the one they thought was the best fit. Nothing to do with race. Maybe that's what you are saying as well.
 
Kratos is a Zey/Zem Black Non-Binary Gay Jewish Muslim that believes in Jesus while fighting both Greek, Hindu and Norse Gods.

I have a question for Jaffe though, so since his foster family's ashes are on his body... does it envelope his cock and balls too? And if he's fucking other people, does it mean that his family is technically involved as well? So since Calliope is part of his ashes, Kratos is technically a Pedophile along with who he fucks. /reeeeeeeeeee

DONT YOU FUCKERS JUDGE ME.
 
A spartan warrior from ancient Greece and we're asking if he's black? Wtf is wrong with people? There were no transcontinental flights back then and the population was extremely homogeneous. We're talking in the era where we currently count the years down, not up :messenger_grinning_sweat:
Unless Jaffe pulled an Ubisoft and managed to find the only supposed black samurai in the whole Japan :messenger_tears_of_joy:
