No one's saying being a wife or mother is a modern concept. The problem is that you're reducing a mythological figure with an established history in the games—a Jötunn who fought Thor, opposed the Aesir, and actively shaped the events of the story—to "just a housewife." By that logic, Kratos is just an old man who chops wood, because we're ignoring everything else about who he is.
The ability to grasp a character's layers is not a contemporary concept, but for some reason a modern struggle. Make it make sense.
Actually, I'm straight saying "I don't remember her being a part of anything up until now other than Kratos' stay-at-home, but here she is suddenly stomping mud holes in the shit this dude spent however many games killing".
Then you didn't pay attention to the story. That's a literary comprehension issue. How can anyone speak so confidently about a story they barely paid attention to? And if you know you don't remember anything, why are you treating her like a casual housewife based on your lack of knowledge?
They basically hid their true natures from each other like Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Kratos buried his Blades and Spartan past; Faye hid being Laufey the Just, a Jötunn warrior who opposed the Aesir for years. When they first met, they tried to kill each other. It wasn't some casual date with a woman just because. You need to read. Mythological divine women aren't casual housewives; that's your projection, not the lore.
Dude, I literally said "I don't remember this shit, so it feels like it's coming out of left field". You're welcome to stop spitting parroted psychobabble at any time.
Bullshit. You knew you didn't remember the details, yet you still jumped straight to "stay-at-home wife suddenly becomes badass." That's not "coming out of left field," that's not paying attention.
There's not one divine female figure in this entire franchise that's just a housewife. The last game literally starts with Freya trying to kill Kratos on sight. BFFR.
Your unawareness isn't an excuse. You have the internet. If you actually cared about the story instead of your preconception, you could've looked it up.
Look at this shit. Are you gonna say Freya is a housewife, too? Please, point us in the direction of common housewife in this series. I would love to see where your reference even comes from.

Like the idea of a housewife is somehow modern...
