Atreus Trapped in Fate

Gentle reminder that Atreus already killed his father, and is already stuck in the cycle of Fate where sons murder their fathers that he was afraid of when he asked Kratos if he was destined to kill him too like Kratos killed his father Zeus.

Atreus attacks Kratos in a scene from God of War. The joke points out that Atreus has already killed his father in Norse mythology, echoing Kratos killing Zeus and suggesting the feared cycle of sons murdering their fathers is already repeating. It is used as a darkly humorous reaction to foreshadowing, family trauma, or doomed fate. EN: Atreus attacks Kratos in a scene from God of War.
