#feminism isn't inherently bad either but it has to be done well and respect the source material

What are your personal pet peeves in Greek mythology adaptations ?

And bonus question: which one could give us a bingo from this card ?

Here are mine :

To me, inaccurate ≠ bad

Heck, I love Epic the musical. I'd NEVER pretend it's an accurate adaptation of the Odyssey. Especially after the Thunder saga.

But the spirit has to be kept and the author must do their research. Otherwise, it shows.

Edit : for the minor gods part. I thought if they're important in X source material myth but aren't mentioned in the adaptation at all. Of course, not making every single deity appear is normal.

I really don’t mind the Hercules if it’s done in other media, in terms of stuff like Disney’s Hercules, though if an adaptation actually uses it, set it in actual Roman Mythology

Odysseus being a cheater is just an icky, like I haven’t even read The Odyssey yet, but even I can tell that guy should not count as a cheater

The Underworld part is very frustrating because sometimes it’s cool, but I think it can be very overplayed, which is why I love PJO (show version) depiction of it being a reverse of Olympus

Minor gods and mortals are kinda meh, unless they’re like really important or it just gives people more to talk about them then sure

Dionysus being useless is kinda lame, like come on, let him unleash da horrors

Gods not bleeding golden ichor kinda takes away the factor of how different the gods are to mortals, unless if said God was turned mortal then maybe, but still it’s lame

A certain figure not doing anything wrong or being unnecessarily evil is kinda weird, like they’re not perfect, like yes Epic Odysseus isn’t exactly like Odyssey Odysseus, but he still gets judged by shit he has done, also the certain gods being unnecessarily evil or cruel is just bad, at least convince on why they’re so bad in this adaption you’re doing for them

Greek Stories specifically not being Greece is just weird ngl

Demeter being a helicopter mom is just overblown for me, like the woman has ever right to be worried for her sprout

The Titans looking like monsters are sometimes okay, if it’s like a quick display of how powerful they are then sure, like the Titans in PJO

I need to get better judgement for the feminist part, because I’m quite inclined to see if I can enjoy them

A romance being made even more toxic kinda makes me roll my eyes, like why ruin this somewhat good couple or are actually a good couple, this also goes for toxic relationships in myths
