Guild Wars 2

I just saw the Wonder Woman movie, not spoiling anything, but I was wondering if Aries and Balthazar might have the same motivation? Could they be after the same thing? For those who have seen the movie what do you think?

Considering both are literally the god of war, the same motivation sort of follows.

It would really surprise me though if somewhere in Tyria there is a hidden island populated by only female skritt that has collected the shiniest treasures in the world (among other things the famous Stick of Godpoking or the magical Shiny Rope of Skrittfrodite) and made a baby skritt out of trash.

I call it… Skrittyscira.

just put the spoiler tag and say this tbh will open up the discussion more

Well, I don’t know about the movie, but Ares (not Aries, that’s an astrological sign and a constellation) feeds off war in the comics. He gains his strength through humans waging war and strife, and cultivates it among humans to grow stronger. Since Balthazar basically said Tyria (and everyone in it) doesn’t matter, I’d say their motivations are different. Unless they gave Ares another spin in the movies, but I’ll have to wait one and a half week to find that out.

Meeeeh sort of kind of no. I suppose I shouldnt spoil anything but the Ares we see in the movie is actually closer to Balthazar in this regard. Remembers its the Murderverse, not like in the comics

It’s Ares, not Aries, and yes, the God of War was present in many parts of the world under different names.

Never had ancient Greek mythology at school? —> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares
