Fan Film Imagines God of War's Awkward Teen Years

If an indie film studio made one of those awkward high school "coming-of-age" movies starring God of War's Kratos, the trailer would look something like this.

[viddler=5c92ae3f]

Gamers know Kratos. Gamers love Kratos. He's a brutally violent, incredibly angry ancient Greek sociopath whose sole driving force is to slaughter anyone who has ever wronged him in any way whatsoever. But what if he wasn't always that way? What if he was once an awkward young high schooler, trying to find himself and deal with the unrealistic expectations of his dad Zeus?

The above fan-made trailer to a hypothetical, nonexistent indie film shows what Kratos would be like if he were the star of, say, almost every single movie Michael Cera [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/101449-New-Scott-Pilgrim-vs-The-World-Trailer-Hits-the-Net] has ever been in. It's surprisingly well-made with very solid production values, and I may just be speaking for myself here, but I'd love to see this actually expanded into a short film.

Am I alone on that or what?

Good old crude British humor. I first saw this on Game Trailers where a good chunk of users either didn't get the joke or were expecting something real... despite the obvious playful nature of the title.

The ripping out of the "cyclops" was the best reference!

That was actually pretty awesome, I'd watch it as a short film. Also, am I alone on this one or was that music really catchy?

Hah.

More on topic. I would watch this, if just for the laugh because to be fair they did get alot of things wrong with the God of War story there.

Someone really needs to make one of those coming of age films where the protagonist is deep down at heart an evil psychopath, rather then a nice misunderstood guy.

But yeah this was pretty cool.

Hah. Gaviscon, anyone? It cools in three minutes!

But yes, I agree with everyone else, this made me laugh. I'd watch it if it was expanded into a proper short.

It's like someone crossed Napolean Dynamite and God Of War.

And I love it, I would pay cash to see this.

Yeah, I'd watch this. Someone needs to make it. Like, now.
