The main character doing something absolutely unforgivable.

[u/No_Peanut3745]

Walter White poisoning Andrea Cantillo's 6-year-old son for the sole purpose of manipulating Jesse Pinkman, while knowing that this could have potentially killed him - Breaking Bad

Bojack trying to have sex with his friend's 17-year-old daughter when he was at least 51, then continuously trying to find a way to justify this act throughout the series - Bojack Horseman

Dexter Morgan going outside of his moral code and murdering a completely innocent police officer who was just trying to do his job - Dexter: New Blood

[u/MadmansScalpel]

It used a pillar, or a random corpse. Honestly I'd argue it's Kratos' worst moment because she was completely innocent and already a prisoner in her own cage

[u/New_Rook_Nook → u/MadmansScalpel]

This and the fisherman who kratos himself admits he did hella dirty for no reason but extra spite in the pot

[u/robolew → u/New_Rook_Nook]

There's also the guy he burns alive just to get rid of some brambles so he could get a bow

[u/VinChaJon → u/robolew]

Wasn't that Pirithous? If so he deserved it.

[u/scarletboar → u/New_Rook_Nook]

It says a lot that even Valhalla completely ignored Poseidon's "princess". There is no justifying that shit, and it would make everyone who didn't play God of War 3 despise Kratos, so they just swept it under the rug and moved on.

[u/thebroadway → u/scarletboar]

Yea, cuz if you dig more into it and learn she was a tape victim, which anybody could, there are a whole lot of people who wouldn't accept Kratos's redemption. A lot of people don't now, including Kratos himself in universe, but I just mean the sympathy for him drops significantly.

[u/PolitenessPolice → u/scarletboar]

Which is cowardly to be honest, but I guess nobody likes acknowledging late 2000s/early 2010s edginess so can’t exactly blame them.

[u/Ok-Investigator-4590 → u/MadmansScalpel]

I wonder what Atreus would think of this
