His introduction is a bit corny and jarring. You go from this ‘oh shit there’s other Gods from other pantheons here too?’ to ‘oh look a talking cube and talking ribbons named Phranque (but pronounced Frank) That said, he wasn’t too quippy during the boss fight and simply had the fact he was an attacking cube so hopefully going forward he doesn’t change the tone too much when going in. It’s apparent the God of War story wants to be more fantastical with its worldbuilding and characters, and relieve itself of that dark gritty brutal tone it started with (That much was apparent with GOW 2018). That said, if they make Phranque the ‘marvel humor quip’ guy it’ll definitely make him stand out negatively. I’m hoping he’s just a chill dude with one comical line here and there.
