One of the creators and the designer behind the God of War video games has spoken out about the first look at Prime Video's upcoming TV adaptation, and it's fair to say he isn't too impressed.
"I’m sure everybody’s trying real hard, it’s so dumb,” said outspoken God of War creator David Jaffe over on his YouTube channel. "Kratos in this pose with this expression, not the guy’s face, but this expression, he just looks stupid. If you’re going to reveal, to most people, a brand new character that you hope is going to carry your series, for the first time, and they’ve never really seen this before, and this is the way you introduce them?"
It sounds as though Jaffe has mainly taken issue with how the demi-god and fearsome warrior Kratos is presented. "Could you find a picture that doesn’t look like he’s shitting in the woods? Cause that’s what the picture looks like," said Jaffe, adding that he has no issue with Hurst playing the character, but it's a "dumb fucking picture."
However, Jaffe made it clear that although he doesn't approve of the first look, he is by no means bashing the team. "Let’s be incredibly clear, okay? Two things can be true. This can be a terrible image, and it is. It’s so bad in so many ways," explained Jaffe. "And Ron Moore is awesome, who is the showrunner… This guy is a juggernaut of a talented fellow. I have absolutely no doubt it is going to be a good show."
