That being said, there's one other reveal/theory that, while might not be quite as hyped up, was still almost equally if not even more shocking:

The reveal of Rose Quartz's true identity.

I know this would kind of be a repeat of god of war 3’d ending (which I just experienced), but I kind of hope God of War eventually, as a franchise, ends with Kratos killing the Judeo Christian god, having killed all other gods from all other pantheons beforehand, and then killing himself. Handing over the destiny of humanity not to all powerful deities but instead to itself.
Yeah...I don't think that's gonna hang well with devoted Christians...Expect backlash and controversy.

Also, I don't want Christianity in God of War. Just play Dante's Inferno if you want Christian God of War.

I wouldn't be so worried about them, if I was making the game, anyway. I understand not wanting Christianity in God of War, but I bet if that happened, I bet the devoted follows would get worked up over nothing, given it is just a game.

Christians technically have a very flawed perception of what God is, anyway, and maybe flawed perceptions about many other things in general. No offense to anyone.

It sounds cool, but too many redditors would get high from the euphoria so we better avoid it.

That's part of why I want it. To make a statement, despite the controversy.

Plus, that would be a bold move to take. We do need more bold moves to be done in this world. People should not let things like a number of devoted Christians stop them from doing something.

It is not like we have not had Judaeo-Christian God be fought and slayed in media before anyway.

Tbh for a GoW game, God isn't really... interersting for a lack of a better words. He's just omnipotent, no specialized powers, no special weapon, doesn't really have a physical form, and if we wanna argue Jesus the whole schtick with him is that he can't be killed.

Also there's like only one God so who else is Kratos gonna fight? Moses?

What kind of statement would that even be?

Cause like I have a lot of beef with Christians but that's still their culture and I don't think disrespecting it like that is the big own you think it is, it'll just give them more fuel to be assholes.

Also you said JUDEO Christian so I hope I don't have to tell you that Jews could potentially find it offensive too

Counterexample, Bayonetta and everything in the Divine Comedy about biblically accurate angels.

Partly that the destiny of humanity and the earth is in the hands of humans, not the deities we've made up. Partly... stuff I might get banned for saying.

So on that, that's a pretty big thing that Christianity already covers. Christianity in a nutshell is all about Gods love, and basically His love gave humans the greatest gift of allowing us to have free will, so in short we control our own paths and we control our future of humanity, the only thing we can't control is our final destination. Killing God really doesn't do much for spreading that message given that it's already the whole point. Just wanna clear that misconception

Idk how it is on the Judeo side for I am not Jewish.

Looks at the state of the world


Maybe, we really should have let the gods handle everything. Maybe humans just kinda suck.

Yeah Christians would get mad as hell over a GoW based around the Judeo-Christian god


But lemme tell ya about Hindus.



No disrespect towards Hindus at all, but they're just as protective of their pantheon and would probably be livid over a GoW based around Kratos killing Shiva, etc.

Considering the humans causing all the problems have a tendency to just say things like "it's all gods plan" and "i'll pray on it" and "thoughts and prayrs" and then don't actually do anything to help make change maybe we need to look at the problem another way.

I grew up christian. I know the stories. Killing god is a metaphorical representation of ending religious thought as a means of how the world is governed and represented. And now I'm brushing dangerously close to the stuff I'm worried if I say I'll get banned.

You can't get banned for being atheist.

Now being a reddit atheist on the other hand...

Okay, first off, there are neuroscientists and philosophers who say that free will is rather an illusion, and the unconscious mind pushes us to do things, rather than actual conscious deciding. Free will may not exist and may be again, an illusion.

Second of all, there are many flaws in gods love. If he loves humanity, or is all loving, why does he show hate at times and even send people to do bad to hell instead of try to make them better? Also, isn't god too human to be a supreme entity? I am sure omnipotent, transcendent beings would not be like how people describe at least Judaeo-Christian God, who has too many human traits.

I could go on, but I don't want to delve too deep. Still, God is just a psychological need of people, not an actual being, and people's devotion to such a nonexistent being has lead them to do bad things and hateful things towards others, which, by the way, they say God approves or justifies, which contradicts the all-loving part. In fact, there is probably not need for a god altogether for many reasons.

Also on the topic of Steven Universe, the whole soundtrack slaps:

Strong in the real way, both of you, change, and so many more are S tier.
I know Garnet’s supposed to have the best song…but I still think this is the peak of Steven Universe music (that Connie ringtone knew the assignment)
