Atreus: So… why’d you want to name me Atreus? I know it can’t be for a god. Kratos:… Hah! No. He was a soldier. A Spartan. Atreus: A great warrior? Kratos: All Spartans are great warriors. We train from birth. Our lives were discipline, duty, battle, and death. Life was grim, and we greeted it grimly. Atreus: Hmmhmm.. Kratos: But Atreus of Sparta was unlike the rest of us. He wore a smile even in the worst of times. He was… happy. He inspired us to hope.. that though we were machines of war, yet there was humanity in us. Goodness. When the day came for him to lay down his life in battle, his sacrifice saved countless others, and turned the tide in our favor. I carried him home on his shield, and buried him with all the honors of Spartan custom. His memory was a comfort in dark times.
“He wore a smile even in the worst of times. He inspired us to hope .. “
Kratos named his son for these qualities, for happiness and hope, and his newborn son’s infant smile, as a promise of hope that Kratos could be human and hide his monstrous past.
and now that we know Atreus was named Loki by the giants, Loki who smiles even in the worst of times
So I think my biggest thing probably was that I was expecting a lot more partly because of being spoiled by BoRhap and partly because of the mythic chaos that is Motley Crue…
I MEAN THE STUFF DURING THE CREDITS WAS BETTER THAN THE ENTIRE FILM.
What I Liked:
Everyone seemed to know how to play thier instruments and the lipsinging was decent enough
It all looks really pretty. Very lifetime movie of the week.
Machine Gun Kelly is a dweeb and I love him more than life.
PETE DAVIDSON!!!!
The acting in the first half
The Nikki Sixx soul patch look + wig
The actress that played Vince’s daughter
What I Didn’t Like:
Literally nothing interesting happens for the first hour
Douglas Booth’s American accent is just as bad as I thought it was gonna be.
All the fucking voiceover is overdone and unneeded.
The wigs looked … at least on the boys, they looked terrible.
The SELF AWARE COMMENTARY 4th Wall Breaks. If it wasn’t filmed before BoRhap came out, I would’ve thought it was shade
How actual MTV archive footage wasn’t used for the thing about them getting into trouble… although I guess that would’ve blown the budget for sure.
Ozzy
Vince’s wife (the acting)
A lil powerpoint of book recs!!!

When your racist old boss thinks you owe her an explanation about why you quit
