I initially thought you hated the mythology guy's video. But yeah, the movie is ridiculous.
Because I couldn't stop laughing at the obvious mistakes 🤣. There are so many things wrong !
Asterius who's a dude in a helmet AGAIN. Why is it so complicated to make him a bull guy ?
The Titans being the lamest they have ever been. The Olympians were the same but in golden. I could only recognize Poseidon (trident) and Athena (woman, because she's the only female Olympian apparently. Screw Demeter, Hestia, Aphrodite, Artemis and Hera, the literal queen of the gods) !
And making the gods die in general is so weird imo.
"Theseus" who has 1% of Theseus' story. And the moment he said stuff like "I'm afraid of not saving my loved ones" made me cackle 🤣🤣. Suuuuure, let's forget Ariadne, Aegeus, Phaedra, Hippolytus and Pirithous (from his own stupidity).
What was going on that Hyperion guy and why didn't they use Minos and tell the real story ? 🤣
Also what do they mean by "the gods don't interfere with men" ? In Theseus' life story ALONE I can mention Athena, Poseidon, Dionysus, Hades, Artemis and Aphrodite who "interfered" 🤦‍♀️🤣. And Zeus of all people saying that makes it even better.
(even in the same movie he's been interfering by disguising himself).
Btw why is HE Theseus' surrogate father figure and not, you know, Poseidon ??? Dude even granted him three wishes in the myths !!
And the atheism stuff is the stupidest thing in the movie for obvious reasons.
Having just watched the mythology guy’s video on the movie the immortals god I hate it so much. Like for so so many reasons but also why we’re so many 2010s Greek myth movies about the Greeks being like Reddit atheists lol. Like rhesus what do you mean the gods are stories for children, your dad is Poseidon. You are personally bros with Hercules.
Yeah it’s so dumb and I’m glad I’m not the only one who made the Reddit atheist comparison, what’s crazy is that the gods interacted with mortals a lot during the heroic age, so to deny their existence is like real modern ppl denying the earth is round.
Also it’s amusing how between this and Wrath of the Titans, Hollywood wants to make a Titanomachy movie so bad yet instead of like… idk using characters that actually participated in the war as protagonists they use Theseus and Perseus, even tho their stories are more interesting bc they’re so small scale, their goals throughout their stories is either for the sake of their family or city, but if they failed the world would move in without them, so there is genuine stakes bc if you read these stories for the first time you don’t know what will happen, but by stripping that and making them the saving the world action hero types they remove everything that made them unique. Also isn’t it ironic that both Perseus and Theseus are mamas boys (in very different ways) and they start their quests for their sakes yet these movies fridged those mothers?
It’s like Hollywood doesn’t like Greek mythology.
