While Tony is certainly more talkative than Kratos, both gruff and grumbly characters known for their acts of violence, as well as struggling with how their pasts comes back to haunt their sons. Hearing Tony reference and give commentary on these things in scenes where players would only usually expect a grunt or short answer from Kratos gives hilarious insight. The video features Tony telling Atreus that he needs to learn impulse control and referring to his crippling magic bursts as “panic attacks.” When Freya talks to him about his son not knowing his true heritage, Tony gives the line referring to stereotypes about people who work in waste management.

Many fans are already speculating on how the games will continue forward, especially since Kratos’s story, much like Tony’s, has come to an ambiguous end. The Sopranos have gone on to create a prequel film based on the exploits of a young Anthony Soprano, and with many believing that Atreus will be at the helm of the God of War next game in the franchise, it’s hard to imagine that Kratos won’t at least make an appearance. What first drew fans to both of these characters is how they both clearly had more to them than the violence that one first sees them associated with, and the rare moments when fans get to see a softer side of them come out.
With the ongoing accolades and praise that God of War Ragnarok continues to receive, It’s a small wonder that something like this would garner so much attention. The game and its sequel, now being referred to as the Norse duology, painted a more human picture of Kratos. Combing his clips with the words of Tony Soprano, who is more forthcoming, both better illustrates Kratos’s more relatable moments, and make them considerably funnier.
God of War Ragnarok is available now for PS4 and PS5.
