tag urself

[lturnips]

I'm going through the tag for Kaos and keep seeing people complaining about it being inaccurate and?? Inaccurate? To the Greek Mythology?? The stories that were passed down orally and had so many different versions at the time when they were being told, not to mention now? That Greek Mythology?

Kaos is a fun show that takes the mythological figures we've seen a million times and makes them something new and fresh and I, for one, am totally here for it. I go buck fucking wild for stories where humans rebel against the gods and I will be speaking a season 2 into existence every day.

Please sit back and enjoy the wild ride, because there has never been, and there never will be, an accurate 'adaptation' of Greek Mythology because the myths themselves aren't accurate to their earlier versions.

Okay, did some digging through the Kaos tag and boy, half of people are really pissed at the inaccuracies. GUESS WHAT. The Zeus of Kaos said that most of the myths are made up by the gods or embellished to promote an order with the gods on top. This show has given itself permission to do as it pleases with myth. Relax.

they've mentioned so many other people from myths and like the rest of the gods that clearly are cannon I this universe buy just exist offscreen so I found this bit rlly interesting.

like maybe dionysus is just a lil slow but I'm personally choosing to beleive oedipus isn't cannon yet.

and I really really hope that if it gets renewed for second season we can see people like oedipus but also clytemnestra/ agamemnon/orestis/aegisthus

One of the things I like most about Kaos is how...different the characters are compared to how they're viewed in mythology. I've seen some people complain about it, but I'm pretty sure they were written this way 100% on purpose to hammer in the theme of defiance.

We're introduced to Dionysus being the wild child of the gods, but do you know what we barely see him with? WINE! ALCOHOL! DRUGS! NOTHING! He actually acts as a caretaker for Dennis for most of the show, and his motivation for doing everything is to take on MORE RESPONSIBILITY! And yet, responsibility and proving yourself doesn't seem like something the god of wild frenzy would give a fuck about.

Hera....the mother fucking queen of the gods...aka THE GODDESS OF WOMEN, MARRIAGE, AND FAMILY is having an affair (I know they all have affairs in mythology, but it's more about what's happening in the context of this show), and instead of jumping on the "we need to preserve the family" bandwagon with Zeus immediately, she's actively trying to get him to calm down and forget about the prophecy that will destroy the family! Not to mention, she's got an army of tongueless women who were willing to be separated from their families to serve her.

Hades, who is usually painted as an intimidating, stoic god of the dead who hates Zeus....is actually a tired, anxious middle management type who ends up rolling over for Zeus in the pool scene.

And don't get me started on Orpheus and Eurydice.

The only one who seems like his usual self is Zeus. He's still the same power hungry, malevolent, self-centered, king of the gods. And yet, the harder he tries to defy his prophecy, the more likely it is to come to fruition.

Am I going insane why is there not a massive KAOS fandom yet. Like pssspsspss hey Good omens, ofmd, wwdits fans where are you guys come eat this shit up it’s fantastic. Honestly might be some of the best queer rep I have ever seen.

[lturnips]

Hera and Zeus are like if Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss, was married to Mansplain, Manipulate, Manwhore.

[lturnips]

Someone who doesn't know anything about greek mythology watching Kaos: yh this is probs pretty accurate

Someone who knows a fair bit about greek mythology watching Kaos: this is so inaccurate they have changed everything

Someone who had studied greek mythology watching Kaos: omg omg omg so much of this is so accurate
