God of War Creator Criticizes First Image of Live-Action Prime Video Series: ‘Terrible’

creator David Jaffe didn’t hold back his thoughts on the first image from the live-action Prime Video series. In a recent reaction video, he criticized the image showing Ryan Hurst as Kratos and Callum Vinson as his son Atreus. Jaffe was quick to point out the flaws in the setup, but also acknowledged the talent behind the show, including showrunner Ron Moore and writer/director/producer Cory Barlog.

While Jaffe’s comments may seem harsh, they do raise some valid points. The image may not be a fair representation of the final product, considering the show is still in production. Jaffe emphasized the importance of casting good actors who embody the essence of the characters, rather than just focusing on physical resemblance to the video game characters.

Jaffe particularly critiqued the lighting, blocking, and character portrayal in the image, suggesting that the show has some ground to cover in winning over fans, himself included. Despite his criticisms, Jaffe acknowledged the potential of the show with the talented team involved. So, while the first image may not have hit the mark for some fans, there’s still hope for the “God of War” series to deliver on its promise once it hits screens.
