God of War Creator Agrees With Fans on First Look Being ‘So Bad’ & ‘Stupid’

Okay, so I saw the first official image from the God of War TV show on Amazon Prime, and honestly, as a huge fan of the games, I was pretty disappointed. David Jaffe, one of the creators of God of War, basically said the same thing! He called it “so dumb” and “terrible” in a YouTube video, and I get where he’s coming from. It’s just… not a great look. The photo shows Kratos and his son in the woods, but it just feels off, you know?
