Amazon Prime Video is currently working on a Live-Action series based on War god Reboot from 2018 and its Showrunner, Ronald Moore, recently confirmed that the Strömningsgigant is planning to do two full seasons of it. Of course, this news has fans at the same time excited and concerned about the project.

While the show could be as good as other latest customizations of Live-Action of Video Games-As The last of us or Fall-out – It can also ultimately fail, especially if the authors, directors and show runners do not adapt properly on the correct of the franchisee's signature element. If they get the following things right, the coming War god Series will surely be good.

1

The casting of the main characters

Amazon must find the perfect real kratos and atreus

If this was an animated series, they could easily throw Christopher Judge and Sunny Suljic (Kratos and Atreus' voice actors from the new games), but since it will be live-Action, Amazon must work extremely hard to find Ideal actors for both main characters.

It really won't be easy, especially considering that atreus is eleven years old War god (2018), which means that the young actor they will throw will grow up very quickly between seasons. Nevertheless, HBO Max managed to get the perfect actors for Joel and Ellie for their adaptation of The last of usWhich is proof that this type of perfect casting can be achieved if the production company is careful.

Father-son-dynamics

The New God of War Games is about the relationship between Kratos and Atreus

The War god Series focus on many different things, but there is a specific element that is more important than anything else, especially in the two new Nordic games: Father-son The relationship between Kratos and Atreus. The new show can be epic, violent and full of action, but it will fail if Amazon does not faithfully adapt this crucial part of the story.

After all, War god (2018) and The war god Ragnarok Tell the story of Krato's new life in Midgard and the journey to spread his wife's ashes, which forced him to grow closer to his son Atreus. Throughout their adventure, he grows into a better, kinder and stronger man, and the Amazon Prime video series will not work if this aspect of his character is undermined or completely omitted.

The relaxed dialogue

Kratos, atreus and mimir must have many fun calls

Because this will be the adaptation of an epic and ambitious franchise, the new War god Show is likely to have a solid fantasy dialogue for all important stories in which Kratos and Atreus meet other gods from northern mythology. It would be good and everything, but how is it with all their other Conversations?

Throughout his adventure, Kratos and Atreus (and later Mimir) repeatedly talk about random subjects, such as Krato's past, the world they live and its myths and legends, not to mention that they even tell each other some fun jokes. These conversations may seem insignificant at first, but they announce all three characters perfectly, while adding some sought -after humor to the story. The authors of the new series must find moments where they can implement these small exchanges in the script.

The environments

Midgard (and the other nine areas) should look amazing

The people responsible for the budget on Amazon Prime Video have a monumental job: Make sure everyone environments of its new War god Series are properly adapted to the screen, and in order to make them work, they should save no costs.

The last two War god Titles have presented players with some of the most beautiful 3D environments that have ever added a video game: from the snowy mountains in Midgard, to the beautiful forests in Alfheim and even the frozen chaos in Helheim. These places raise the experience and have become an important part of these games' identity, so they must look as detailed as possible in the new Live Action series.

The enemies

Special effects of high quality will be needed to bring them to life

Of course, Kratos and Atreus' journey through Midgard were far from peaceful, as they often met and fought several dangerous enemiesLike the drags, revenge, the Wulvers and many more, all with their unique designs and impressive abilities.

In addition, they also encountered many gigantic managers, such as the trolls or Hraezlyr the dragon. All these deadly enemies are an important part of the game's story and its many action scenes, so the VFX workers on Amazon Prime Video should try to adapt them as faithfully as possible, whether using CGI, practical effects (such as costumes and animatronics) or a balanced combination of both.

6

The violence

Kratos kills should be as gorey as possible

Back in the mid-2000s, War god The series became notorious for its violenceEspecially when Kratos had to perform a monster or Greek God manually. While the latest northern mythological games have toned down the violence a bit, it is still a huge part of the franchise's identity, and the player can cause Kratos to kill all his enemies in extremely brutal ways.

The new age has enabled television programs to break the form more often and get away with risky things, especially blood and violence. Amazon Prime Video even has deep into Gorey series that have become huge hits, like The boys or Invincible. So if streaming giant holds the philosophy for War god Show and keep it as violent as possible (without exaggerating it, of course), fans of the games will surely be happy with it.

Props

Krato's weapons and equipment must be faithfully recreated

When adapting a popular IP to live measure, some key elements cannot be omitted or changed drastically, or fans will be dissatisfied with them. At War godThere is nothing more important in its iconography than Kratos Signature Weapon: The Leaves of chaos and Demarcation.

No matter how costly it is, Amazon Prime Video should try to make real copies of Krato's most important articles and find ways to seamlessly implement them in the fight choreography. Of course, many other props must be adapted faithfully (such as his armor sets and Atreus' bow and arrows), but the appearance of these two weapons will play a major role in the show's immediate success.

Krato's Greek backstory

The first half of the franchise should not be omitted or forgotten

When Amazon Prime Video announced that it would make a live-action adaptation of the new War god Games, the fans' reaction was quite mixed. As promising as this sounded, it also meant that the streaming giant would completely omit the first six War god games that took place in Greece. While these games were very different in both games and tone, they are still an important part of the franchise, and not everyone who has not experienced them will in any way enjoy Krato's character development in the modern Nordic games.

Because of this, the new War god Show should contain several flashbacks that recount the most important moments in the Greek mythological story that shaped Krato's character into what he is at the beginning of this new story. In addition, it would be good if Amazon decided to adapt the original six games when it eventually covers the whole War god (2018) and War god RagnarökThe And it is empty to adapt.
