Who Would Win A Fight Between Kratos And Jesus?
As the release of God of War Ragnarok draws closer, a curious rumour has appeared: Kratos is going to duke it out with Jesus. Back in 2020, director Cory Balrog did confirm that Christianity exists within the game's world, so given that Kratos is a Greek god currently fighting Norse gods (with Egyptian gods muted as a future option), he's taking on any gods who cross his path.

We are never going to punch Jesus in a triple-A video game and we probably need to make our peace with that. I also think Stan Lee had it right about these hypothetical questions: the winner of the fight is whoever the writer wants to win. Still, who cares about facts, logic, and sacrilege? I have content to create, and I'm ready to take the logical out of theological.
