Hermes should win because he lost only to plot armor.
Kratos shouldn't beat The Flash.

I didn't know Kratos was a boss in God of War.

Just admit you want some donger action from both of them and get it over with. Because guess what, we all know anyway.

James Sawyer Ford would wipe the floor with AdamsApple in a physical fight. A 6'2" Chad vs. a self-proclaimed Phil Spencer fanboy? That's not even a contest.Would kill for a GAF showdown between my favorite fanboys.
AdamsApple’s best bet would be trying to outmaneuver James with online trolling, but if it ever came to real blows, it’s looking like an easy win for James—unless AdamsApple has some hidden martial arts skills or a surprise weapon (like an Xbox controller to the face.
(I love using chat gpt to analyse this forum).
Still, my money's on Adam.

A Fucking Idiot
Jörmungandr (the world serpent) was among the most physically powerful of all and I wish they would have depicted his fight with Thor where they kill each other during Ragnarok (Ragnarok the event, not the game). He's wasn't an enemy in the game so from the list it would have to be Zeus.

Doesn’t matter even if he was a boss. Zeus or Odin would still crush him.Jörmungandr (the world serpent) was among the most physically powerful of all and I wish they would have depicted his fight with Thor where they kill each other during Ragnarok (Ragnarok the event, not the game).

I don't think this is anything, March Madness is coming up:
What is March Madness: The NCAA tournament explained
Here is everything (really!) you might want to know about March Madness — one of the biggest, most exciting and fun events in sports.

I think this is just social network engagement. People like to make brackets about everything this time of year.

Bitter at what? The memes and funny pics are more entertaining to me. Chill being melodramatic.

It should be Gaia as if she really wanted to win, she could.

Very easily Zeus, if one is familiar with the mythologies for Greek and Norse. Norse gods are insane, but Greek gods are on another level of absolutely broken. Zeus alone would be enough to raze the entire Norse pantheon.

Except that those games are SSM’s take on the different mythologies and they diverge heavily from the original ones…not that there is even a universal source anyway. There are multiple versions of multiple stories.
In the GOW verse, Zeus alone most definitely wouldn’t be enough to defeat the whole Norse pantheon.

Definitely not any of the norse pantheon besides baldur with his invincibility.
Odin woulda cracked his frail ass ankles even walking up to any of these opponents

Kratos always find a way.Hermes should win because he lost only to plot armor.
Kratos shouldn't beat The Flash.
He would beat the four horses of the apocalypse back to where they came from and prevent the end of times!

Okay. In any case… Zeus wins this encounter, and without much trouble, SSM’s specific takes on the pantheons or otherwise. Even GOW has shown that, yeah, the Greeks are on a different level than Norse gods.

I wouldn't say without too much trouble. People underestimate the Norse pantheon because the spectacle is nowhere near as impressive as the old games. Additionally, killing the Greek gods led to devastating consequences that destroyed their world. However, the Norse gods are still incredibly powerful. Cory Barlog states the following regarding Kratos:
This checks out with Zeus being millennia old and still in his prime. Then in the codex of Ragnarok, Kratos says that Thor's blows were as strong as any other god he had fought, and that was Thor not even allowed to kill him.
I agree that the Greek gods are more powerful due to the sheer variety of their abilities, but heavy hitters like Thor, Odin, or Baldur are nothing to scoff at.

Kratos had to punch Zeus's head a million times to kill him.
You fight an old man with a walking stick called Odin with 4 people.
My money's on zues

Welcome to the most divine battle in history! A Royal Rumble where the ring is as massive as yo momma, and the gods are ready to bang knuckles!
Let’s get ready to RUMBBLLLLEEEEE!
If a name isn’t mentioned after this point, it’s because they were instantly vaporized by the remaining contenders.
Thor charges straight for Baldur, he’s had enough of the invulnerable little brother bullshit. Baldur laughs, dodging blows, mocking Thor: "You're wasting your fat-ass time, shithead!" Odin, ever the schemer, manipulates Hades into believing the best strategy is to bide his time and pick off the weak niggas, a move that just so happens to benefit Odin. Zeus spends the first minutes dodging Kronos’ goofy ass attacks while going for Thor, seeing him as the biggest threat.
Zues arrives & just as Baldur says "See? I tried to told yo ass....." he’s immediately flattened under Kronos' colossal foot as the Titan mindlessly stomps after Zeus. Odin tricks Kronos into thinking he’s still chasing Zeus, leading the Titan straight out of the ring. The massive idiot is eliminated.
Hades capitalizes on Baldur’s squished state, ripping his soul from his body and tossing it out of the ring. Baldur is eliminate, this time for good.
Zeus and Thor finally clash, shaking the battlefield. Zeus rocks Thor with a devastating blow, sending the thunder god hurtling toward the edge of the ring. Hades, sensing weakness, emerges from the underworld, thinking it's the perfect moment to claim Thor’s soul. But as Thor flies out of the ring, he grabs Hades by the throat and drags him down with him. Double elimination.
Only Zeus and Odin remain. They lock eyes in the center of the ring.
Zeus smirks: "Alright, smartass. The fuck you gonna do now?"
Odin, calm as ever, simply steps out of the ring.
"We both know how this ends," he says, forfeiting the match and sparing everyone the drama.
Zeus stands alone in the ring, the last god standing. Half the crowd erupts in cheers, while the other half boos, convinced Odin let him win.
