What you say is true, Prometheus is the titan of forethought, but he's also regarded as a deity of fire and crafty counsel. He's kind of like with Hephaestus. He's a god of fire but is often depicted as a smith god
1:30 Interesting that two of his sons were named after titans. 2:59 I thought that was exactly what Zeus was refering to. 3:14 Well, then by definition it has walls. Pits have walls. Of course, if the walls of a pit fall down, then the things that were in the pit stay in the pit. You just can't remove them, nor put more things there. 14:15 I wouldn't want such job. Not that it is necessary. IIRC, Kronos wasn't against humans, just against Olympians, specifically his direct children. And since it appears that the whole worship thing only applies to Olympians, and Kronos is not an Olympian, he might be able to keep humans alive in spite of the Olympians dying of prayer starvation.
If we can give this movie props for anything, it's that the VFX on Kronos is still some of the best I've ever seen, and this came out in 2012. Enormous props to MPC for their work.
Hold on a second, didn’t they say that when a god does everything connected to them disappears at the beginning of the film? Then when Hephaestus dies shouldn’t the labyrinth and tarturus disappear too?
At 6:15 in the video those "6 armed creatures" are actually the Makhai and were just doing some tasks like those chains. When pausing and taking a look at their bodies and arms they're easy to identify especially the helmet too.
Thank you for making these videos. They’re very entertaining and informative. I hope you eventually cover Immortals (2011), Troy (2004) and The Legend of Hercules (2014).
Before I first came across this channel, I had a shit tonne of misconceptions regarding greek mythology. As such, this channel was quite a big hard-to-swallow pill for me at first. But now... now I don't carry those misconceptions with me anymore. Thanks!!!
I know this will probably asked, but could you please do an analysis of these movies ? While they don't seem to be of great quality, I think the idea of humans slowly deviating from the gods and ending with the death of the gods, leaving the humans to live on their own. Love your work by the way, your passion for mythos is always what's bringing me back to your channel. Keep up the amazing work king!
Honestly, if you look at this as an AU type fan fictions, it kinda works pretty well! It certainly convinces child me that Kraken is made from the flesh of Hades! It's the type of movies that tries to bring a fresh take to the classics, but forgot to considers about the way things were written before, which causes it's premature death before the third movie was made. Which kinda sad to me, since I actually enjoyed them. The inaccuracy at this point is more hilarious than annoying, and I thank you for pointing out things that I miss, personally.
I really like your video style. It's not overly professional but that's good! Maybe it sounds weird, but it makes you more authentic. Even though many professionals are nice people, that professionalism still feels like the person is unreachable. You feel like a guy with a cam and a mic and that's perfect
@@MasterZebulin Macaria is stated to be his child. And if we see Zeus impregnating Persephone as Dark Zeus i.e. Hades then we also have Zagreus and Melinoe as his kids as well as the Furies and certain versions of Plutus.
@@MasterZebulin Don’t worry, they’re very infrequently mentioned. Which makes them even more mysterious, especially the likes of Zagreus. For example, in the lost early epic the Alcmeonis, Zagreus was implied to be the supreme god of the underworld. As in, he may have been around _before_ Hades. Do with that what you will.
Dang! Forgot to mention the costume changes for The Mythology Guy for every thumbnail of these Every Mythical Inaccuracy in X videos. In the analysis of Classical mythology adaptations, he wears a chiton. In the analysis of Norse mythology, he has berserker armor. I can only wonder what he'd wear for inaccuracy analysis of other mythologies, maybe a pharoah's guard uniform for Egyptian media?
I really like the design for the Minotaur in this movie they didn’t go full Bull head + human body. Actually this design for the Minotaur works for me as something that’s a hybrid of an animal and a human would turn out like that but would have several deformities.
Someone has probably already pointed this out but the lack of acknowledgment or worship towards certain deities was part of the Percy Jackson books. It caused quite a few monsters and minor gods to fade away. While the more popular ones became weaker over time because most mortals except for demigods and some of their parents also stopped believing in them.
@@vicenteabalosdominguez5257True but maybe one of the writers for this movie actually did what none of the writers did for the Percy Jackson movies and read through the entire book.
@@vicenteabalosdominguez5257 One of my big shames is actually liking the first movie although that was due to the fact that getting my hands on the books from my local library was pretty hard due to how popular they were at the time and still are. Also my tastes in movies has changed for the better.
@@vicenteabalosdominguez5257 But I know you'd love the unmade Titan's Curse movie where Bianca and Nico are merged into someone with Bianca's name and Nico's love for Mythomagic and for no reason an outfit more like that of Bianca(Pokémon Heroes), Atlas played by Christopher Lee, and Kampe replacing Dr. Thorn and having an afro rather than the snake hair in the myths and books.
I have had a mythological blind spot on Greek mythology for all my life now. I'm still trying to wrap my head around an official chronology for the Greek myths. I had never heard of or even considered that before these videos.
Honestly, I had no idea the myths were interwoven. I always thought they were arbitrary compared to Norse mythology, which was chronicled by Snorri Sturluson's Eddas.
i would like to say that the word Daemon does translate to demon, also the way you described them "personification for fear longing and punishment, sounds like beings of hell to me."
@@TheMythologyGuy1 But this is no substitute for the actual movie even though I would honestly prefer this fun educational analysis video rather than a poorly written excuse for a film.
Minor point, but any of the gods CAN send people dreams even if they’re not gods of dreams. Athena does this several times in The Odyssey, and Zeus speaks directly through one of Odysseus’ servants at one point. The Greeks seem to have often spoke of a “a god” putting thoughts and visions into their heads without specifying which god it was.
This movie is oddly nostalgic in a way i don't think i've ever experienced. I remember my parents getting me a dvd of this when i was, like, 7. I had no clue what was going on. All i remember was those guys with 2 bodies and 1 pair of legs (i remember trying to build them with lego), liam neeson's voice, poseidon dying, and something about breaking into tartarus. The weird thing about that last one is that i thought that was Daedalus, not Hephaestus. and i was in 3rd grade when i saw this movie.
Same here. I loved this movie a lot for the pure nostalgia. I first saw this movie when I was in sixth grade, middle school. I was greek mythology club and my teacher played this movie. I was 12 and like you, I barely knew what was going on. All I remember is some angry god beating up another god, monsters coming out and fighting Perseus occasionaly, it was scary, but also cool and awesome at the same time.
@@jeffreygao3956 there’s already a bunch of issues fans were having with the trailers for the upcoming Percy Jackson series, and Riordan went online and started bashing the fans who wanted more book accurate characters
Actually Zeus does sometimes visit people in their dreams. He appears to Agamemnon disguised as Nestor in order the trick him into attacking the walls of Troy in the second book of the Iliad.
Some greeks travalled the world and would come home and write that other people believed. Some of them described the manticore as a lion with human face and scorpion tail living in Persia. So it appears in these mythological greek books, but as living in Persia not Greece. But a lot of greek mythology monsters lived in other lands not in greece, a lot of them lived in Africa, Middle East, India and north Europe.
1:57 - He's got more than a quarter. His grandmother was a descendant of Zeus & Poseidon, too, via Belus, the son of Poseidon & Great-grandson of Zeus. 2:55 - Some versions of Greek Mythology state that Prometheus created man before Rhea gave birth to the first god, Hestia, so it works. Also, Primordial god is a mistranslation. It's Protogenos. There were no gods before Rhea pushed the original 6 out of her womb. 3:03 - No, they didn't. Prometheus created man & He's a titan. 5:15 - False! Ares was most known for wielding *a spear.* It's why the Spartans did it. It's why the symbol for the male gender is a spear & shield, while Aphrodite's mirror is the symbol of the female sex. 6:17 - It could've existed. Do you know how spotty historical records dating back that far are? 18:30 - Bellerophon & Cadmus were alive around the same time as Perseus in Greek Mythology. They were the first generation of heroes, so their myths could've happened during the 10 years between the movies. Perseus was the first hero in Greek myth, but the other 2 were not far behind him.
11:02 you know there can be more than one labyrinth and him building a labyrinth wouldn’t be another inaccuracies additional to him building all of tartarus and all the other things about “the labyrinth is different from the one in the myth” would be no longer inaccuracies, since this can be another labyrinth.
Great observation about the Gods needing worship thing. This is actually a thing I questioned and, believe it or not, American Gods actually answers this in an interesting way. In case you don’t, I won’t spoil it, but it’s a really good explanation.
@@TheMythologyGuy1 I’ve only seen the TV show and I heard they changed a few things from the book. While from what I’ve heard they were good changes, the show still had strange pacing and an inconsistent tone. Sometimes the characters just felt off, not in a good way.
My question is why Hollywood keeps making Kronos a lava monster. That doesn't match up with either of his domains (The Harvest or Time, depending on the version). This is the second time I've seen this and it is very confusing.
He is a heavenly god like Zeus. His only elemental power described is actually Ice (it is discribed in a passage in Nonus Dionysiaca that he threw ice spears against Zeus). Ironic how the god that can throw ice at people is portreyd as a lava monster.
I do gotta say that their take on Tartarus is incredibly cool.. and how my brain always kinda envisioned it.. i always felt it was like a prison. Glad to have learned its more like the Marianas Trench.. which is still metal af
Yup, this ending DID suck out 90% of the good stuff from Classical mythology. PS Anyone going to ask why is Kronos made of lava? He was the King of the Gods, god of harvest, and sometimes god of time. How does that translate into magma?
About the gods losing their powers due to a lack of worship. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong but I was taught that there was a comedic play in ancient Greece wherein it was stated that the offerings of crops and cattle to the gods would appear to those on Olympus as ambrosia. In this story the people got so wealthy and were so well off that no one made anymore offerings to the gods, meaning they wouldn't get any ambrosia and thus they became weaker as time passed. In this story Zeus himself, in his weakened state, would come down as a beggar, knocking on doors and asking for a bite to eat. Truthfully, has been a while since I have been told this and I do not know the title of this play, only remember it being told by a professor at a university in my country in a course on the ancient Greeks. Still, I do like the idea of this play enough to wish it to be true, even if I may be mistaken. Just find it real fun.
Ah yes, Demons used as a term for evil. Take a shot for "Christian influence on the film industry" Hell, another shot. And the story is essentially fighting back rapture. Three shots!
Excellent. Thank you. I adored Greek Mythology as a child. So much so that, when I started school, I was genuinely amused when we were told Bible Stories. No doubt children of Ancient Greece were likewise fed fantastical tales of derring-do under the auspices of factual historical accounts. I enjoyed the 1981 version of Wrath of The Titans, despite all its flaws. I will look at your other vids to see if you have produced a like-for-like comparison between 2012, 1981 and the original legends. I think that would be fun. (For me at least). Cheers.
So I think another reason everyone tends to think of the titans as gigantic is The fact that kronos was large enough to swallow his children whole and keep them (up to full grown human size) in his stomach until zeus freed them. Not this could just be god magic. But most people aren't going to think of that, they are going to assume he was massive. This would also explain how he was able to be tricked by a rock in a cloth and not instantly see it was a rock and not a baby. If you're human sized and can't tell. you need glasses. if you're a giant and you can't tell, well that makes sense. But also, there's just the fact that titan or titanic are used to convey massive size, just as giant and colossal are. So when most people hear the titans of greek myth. they are probably going to think they are giant. also, correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't Atlas described as being much larger than Heracles?
Something I can't believe you forgot to mention is when Hephestas says "In the beginning, Hades was the just one. T'were your daddy who became drunk on power." Even Hephestas called out Hollywood's bull crap.

3:14 Well, then by definition it has walls. Pits have walls. Of course, if the walls of a pit fall down, then the things that were in the pit stay in the pit. You just can't remove them, nor put more things there.
14:15 I wouldn't want such job. Not that it is necessary. IIRC, Kronos wasn't against humans, just against Olympians, specifically his direct children. And since it appears that the whole worship thing only applies to Olympians, and Kronos is not an Olympian, he might be able to keep humans alive in spite of the Olympians dying of prayer starvation.
If we can give this movie props for anything, it's that the VFX on Kronos is still some of the best I've ever seen, and this came out in 2012. Enormous props to MPC for their work.
Hold on a second, didn’t they say that when a god does everything connected to them disappears at the beginning of the film? Then when Hephaestus dies shouldn’t the labyrinth and tarturus disappear too?
I can’t believe I didn’t think of that!
@@TheMythologyGuy1 That just raises more questions!
At 6:15 in the video those "6 armed creatures" are actually the Makhai and were just doing some tasks like those chains. When pausing and taking a look at their bodies and arms they're easy to identify especially the helmet too.
I was laughing the whole video almost. It was pure entertainment on how much they got wrong lmao
Very entertaining.
Its always a great day when mythology guy uploads. You always deliver 😎 thank you
Thanks for all the great content
Thank you for using Galavant in your video. Just being reminded of it brings a smile to my face.
1:34 "Electryon" sounds like an Eevee evolution
Honestly, the scene with the Makhai tearing through soldiers is probably the highlight of the movie.
Thank you for making these videos. They’re very entertaining and informative.
I hope you eventually cover Immortals (2011), Troy (2004) and The Legend of Hercules (2014).
Before I first came across this channel, I had a shit tonne of misconceptions regarding greek mythology. As such, this channel was quite a big hard-to-swallow pill for me at first. But now... now I don't carry those misconceptions with me anymore. Thanks!!!
"Hestia is bestia"
Thats all you had to say for my like, good sir
The chimera is sometimes depicted as being part dragon, that could be where they got the wings from.
Oooo didn't know that!
It looks like the Gods have powered Ichor when they disintegrate
mix it with water and you then get the golden ichor!
I know this will probably asked, but could you please do an analysis of these movies ? While they don't seem to be of great quality, I think the idea of humans slowly deviating from the gods and ending with the death of the gods, leaving the humans to live on their own.
Love your work by the way, your passion for mythos is always what's bringing me back to your channel. Keep up the amazing work king!
I love Greek mythology and I love to know everything about it so thank u for telling me a little about it
Love you braught the joke with the Heckeconriese back. Its realy one heck of a good joke....heck
Can’t believe this channel is hitting 1 mil subscribers, that’s amazing
9:03
Ok. That gave me a good chuckle.
😂😂😂
I thought no one else noticed it
Honestly, if you look at this as an AU type fan fictions, it kinda works pretty well!
It certainly convinces child me that Kraken is made from the flesh of Hades!
It's the type of movies that tries to bring a fresh take to the classics, but forgot to considers about the way things were written before, which causes it's premature death before the third movie was made.
Which kinda sad to me, since I actually enjoyed them. The inaccuracy at this point is more hilarious than annoying, and I thank you for pointing out things that I miss, personally.
I really like your video style. It's not overly professional but that's good! Maybe it sounds weird, but it makes you more authentic. Even though many professionals are nice people, that professionalism still feels like the person is unreachable. You feel like a guy with a cam and a mic and that's perfect
14:56 Not to mention if we consider Macaria (Hades’ daughter, Goddess of blessed Death) then Thanatos is also Hades’ Son-in-Law.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Back up!
Hades has a *_DAUGHTER!?!?_*
@@MasterZebulin Macaria is stated to be his child. And if we see Zeus impregnating Persephone as Dark Zeus i.e. Hades then we also have Zagreus and Melinoe as his kids as well as the Furies and certain versions of Plutus.
@@star.master_cranium I-I need to lie down to process this information. 🤯
@@MasterZebulin Don’t worry, they’re very infrequently mentioned. Which makes them even more mysterious, especially the likes of Zagreus. For example, in the lost early epic the Alcmeonis, Zagreus was implied to be the supreme god of the underworld. As in, he may have been around _before_ Hades.
Do with that what you will.

Let's appreciate how the inside of poseidon was golden. You know why
Another great video! keep up the good work. i love learning about mythology.
Dang! Forgot to mention the costume changes for The Mythology Guy for every thumbnail of these Every Mythical Inaccuracy in X videos. In the analysis of Classical mythology adaptations, he wears a chiton. In the analysis of Norse mythology, he has berserker armor. I can only wonder what he'd wear for inaccuracy analysis of other mythologies, maybe a pharoah's guard uniform for Egyptian media?

I really like the design for the Minotaur in this movie they didn’t go full Bull head + human body. Actually this design for the Minotaur works for me as something that’s a hybrid of an animal and a human would turn out like that but would have several deformities.
Actually seems like a cyber demon but without the cyber parts
No. It's trash.
It was a let down.
His horns being solid 'frozen' hair is neat because hair, horns, antlers, nails and teeth are all made from keratin cells.
Nah it looked weird
14:31 glad to see the Flexile Sentry getting some work outside of Dark Souls 2
Hey m8 love your videos i would love to see a video like this but with the game Age of Mythology. Thank you and continue with the awesome videos!
Someone has probably already pointed this out but the lack of acknowledgment or worship towards certain deities was part of the Percy Jackson books. It caused quite a few monsters and minor gods to fade away. While the more popular ones became weaker over time because most mortals except for demigods and some of their parents also stopped believing in them.
Cool, but that's an unrelated franchise.
@@vicenteabalosdominguez5257True but maybe one of the writers for this movie actually did what none of the writers did for the Percy Jackson movies and read through the entire book.
@@jonathanbarr9764 the existence of those 2 movies still hurt
@@vicenteabalosdominguez5257 One of my big shames is actually liking the first movie although that was due to the fact that getting my hands on the books from my local library was pretty hard due to how popular they were at the time and still are. Also my tastes in movies has changed for the better.
@@vicenteabalosdominguez5257 But I know you'd love the unmade Titan's Curse movie where Bianca and Nico are merged into someone with Bianca's name and Nico's love for Mythomagic and for no reason an outfit more like that of Bianca(Pokémon Heroes), Atlas played by Christopher Lee, and Kampe replacing Dr. Thorn and having an afro rather than the snake hair in the myths and books.
I heard somewhere that these two movies take place AFTER the Trojan War. Which is a HUGE inaccuracy in itself.
The GOAT is BACK 🔥🔥
You know it's a good one when it gets him to say things like "Well maybe they don't come anymore because..." xD
Oh, so that’s why Yukari’s Persona, Io, turns into Isis in Persona 3.
3:51 Zeus has got to be spending a lot of time getting all of his kids
Yup, all 94 different half-god children
i love the galavant reference.
Thank you. I love the comedy in that show
Zagard is the editor of this series and the reference was his idea
LOL saw that Hestia joke queued up from a mile away, but still just as great when it landed.
I love these videos
I have had a mythological blind spot on Greek mythology for all my life now. I'm still trying to wrap my head around an official chronology for the Greek myths. I had never heard of or even considered that before these videos.
Honestly, I had no idea the myths were interwoven. I always thought they were arbitrary compared to Norse mythology, which was chronicled by Snorri Sturluson's Eddas.
1:05 oh my gosh, secret cinematic universe, Cher universe
Fun fact the second cinematic universe is either greek mythology movies or toho movies
i would like to say that the word Daemon does translate to demon, also the way you described them "personification for fear longing and punishment, sounds like beings of hell to me."
I swear if youtube strikes this video, Im going to riot
It received a claim originally (all these videos do) but it’s been removed
@@TheMythologyGuy1 But this is no substitute for the actual movie even though I would honestly prefer this fun educational analysis video rather than a poorly written excuse for a film.
@@jeffreygao3956 Yeah well that’s TH-cam for you. If you show a 15 second clip from anything, with or without its original audio, you get claimed
@@TheMythologyGuy1 Well, now that you've got me and a million subscribers they've got to listen to you!
The "Nobody" line was gold
I love your channel man, keep up the good work
Minor point, but any of the gods CAN send people dreams even if they’re not gods of dreams. Athena does this several times in The Odyssey, and Zeus speaks directly through one of Odysseus’ servants at one point. The Greeks seem to have often spoke of a “a god” putting thoughts and visions into their heads without specifying which god it was.
This movie is oddly nostalgic in a way i don't think i've ever experienced. I remember my parents getting me a dvd of this when i was, like, 7. I had no clue what was going on. All i remember was those guys with 2 bodies and 1 pair of legs (i remember trying to build them with lego), liam neeson's voice, poseidon dying, and something about breaking into tartarus. The weird thing about that last one is that i thought that was Daedalus, not Hephaestus. and i was in 3rd grade when i saw this movie.
Same here. I loved this movie a lot for the pure nostalgia.
I first saw this movie when I was in sixth grade, middle school. I was greek mythology club and my teacher played this movie. I was 12 and like you, I barely knew what was going on. All I remember is some angry god beating up another god, monsters coming out and fighting Perseus occasionaly, it was scary, but also cool and awesome at the same time.
Hestia is Bestia. She went so far as to give up her spot as one of the main 12
...which was invented by Riordan. No myths ever had her giving her throne up.
@jeffreygao3956 I would pick up the Percy Jackson series, but Disney paid Riordan to hate his fans
@@madambutterfly1997 Did they? They'd need to pay him a sultan's fortune! Don't buy conspiracies.
@@jeffreygao3956 there’s already a bunch of issues fans were having with the trailers for the upcoming Percy Jackson series, and Riordan went online and started bashing the fans who wanted more book accurate characters
I would also argue that Hades is a pretty nice guy.
Video Request: “Every Mythical Inaccuracy in Thor: Ragnarok & Infinity War”
Something tells me this film is as accurate as the Percy Jackson movies in terms of mythology.
Always a good months when we get an inaccuracy video
Actually Zeus does sometimes visit people in their dreams. He appears to Agamemnon disguised as Nestor in order the trick him into attacking the walls of Troy in the second book of the Iliad.
Happy, this video was made, thank you!
Here’s a quest to you mythology guy, is a manticore really from Greek mythology?
It originated from Persian mythology
@@DateMasamune1636 I've heard around that actually, the Manticore was from Greek writers and authors and said to live in Persia/India.
@@dariovirga7711interesting
Some greeks travalled the world and would come home and write that other people believed. Some of them described the manticore as a lion with human face and scorpion tail living in Persia. So it appears in these mythological greek books, but as living in Persia not Greece. But a lot of greek mythology monsters lived in other lands not in greece, a lot of them lived in Africa, Middle East, India and north Europe.
Here’s a bigger quest, which mythology did dragons first come from?
I'm loving these uses of old meme formats lmao good video
1:57 - He's got more than a quarter. His grandmother was a descendant of Zeus & Poseidon, too, via Belus, the son of Poseidon & Great-grandson of Zeus.
2:55 - Some versions of Greek Mythology state that Prometheus created man before Rhea gave birth to the first god, Hestia, so it works. Also, Primordial god is a mistranslation. It's Protogenos. There were no gods before Rhea pushed the original 6 out of her womb.
3:03 - No, they didn't. Prometheus created man & He's a titan.
5:15 - False! Ares was most known for wielding *a spear.* It's why the Spartans did it. It's why the symbol for the male gender is a spear & shield, while Aphrodite's mirror is the symbol of the female sex.
6:17 - It could've existed. Do you know how spotty historical records dating back that far are?
18:30 - Bellerophon & Cadmus were alive around the same time as Perseus in Greek Mythology. They were the first generation of heroes, so their myths could've happened during the 10 years between the movies. Perseus was the first hero in Greek myth, but the other 2 were not far behind him.
Upon looking about Hestia and how good and kind She was I definitely agree with the mythological guy that "Hestia is indeed Bestia"
11:02 you know there can be more than one labyrinth and him building a labyrinth wouldn’t be another inaccuracies additional to him building all of tartarus and all the other things about “the labyrinth is different from the one in the myth” would be no longer inaccuracies, since this can be another labyrinth.
but it has the Minotaur, and there's only one of those, and it was only in one specific maze, making it still an inaccuracy.
Great observation about the Gods needing worship thing. This is actually a thing I questioned and, believe it or not, American Gods actually answers this in an interesting way. In case you don’t, I won’t spoil it, but it’s a really good explanation.
Oh interesting. Thanks for not spoiling. That series is on my reading list
@@TheMythologyGuy1 I’ve only seen the TV show and I heard they changed a few things from the book. While from what I’ve heard they were good changes, the show still had strange pacing and an inconsistent tone. Sometimes the characters just felt off, not in a good way.
@@TheMythologyGuy1 Honestly, despite the shows flaws it’s still one of my favourite takes on mythology. So, I hope you enjoy the book.
My question is why Hollywood keeps making Kronos a lava monster. That doesn't match up with either of his domains (The Harvest or Time, depending on the version). This is the second time I've seen this and it is very confusing.
He is a heavenly god like Zeus. His only elemental power described is actually Ice (it is discribed in a passage in Nonus Dionysiaca that he threw ice spears against Zeus). Ironic how the god that can throw ice at people is portreyd as a lava monster.
bc lava monster big and scary
Come to think of it, Immortals is probably the only Greek mythology movie where the titans are not gigantic and where Hades is not the villain.
I do gotta say that their take on Tartarus is incredibly cool.. and how my brain always kinda envisioned it.. i always felt it was like a prison. Glad to have learned its more like the Marianas Trench.. which is still metal af
When will you cover Helluva Boss?
why helluva boss
@@michaelmarto69 because it's based off of Christian/Occult mythology.
@@boxier7gaming it's based but highly inaccurate. hell is a cage for the devil and demons,not some paradise with blackjack and hookers
Been waiting for this forever. Finally!
Yup, this ending DID suck out 90% of the good stuff from Classical mythology.
PS Anyone going to ask why is Kronos made of lava? He was the King of the Gods, god of harvest, and sometimes god of time. How does that translate into magma?
I didn’t mention that because it can be argued that he merged with the environment of Tartarus during all his time there
@@TheMythologyGuy1 Right, but that just raises more questions.
About the gods losing their powers due to a lack of worship. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong but I was taught that there was a comedic play in ancient Greece wherein it was stated that the offerings of crops and cattle to the gods would appear to those on Olympus as ambrosia. In this story the people got so wealthy and were so well off that no one made anymore offerings to the gods, meaning they wouldn't get any ambrosia and thus they became weaker as time passed. In this story Zeus himself, in his weakened state, would come down as a beggar, knocking on doors and asking for a bite to eat.
Truthfully, has been a while since I have been told this and I do not know the title of this play, only remember it being told by a professor at a university in my country in a course on the ancient Greeks. Still, I do like the idea of this play enough to wish it to be true, even if I may be mistaken. Just find it real fun.
Ah yes, Demons used as a term for evil.
Take a shot for "Christian influence on the film industry"
Hell, another shot.
And the story is essentially fighting back rapture.
Three shots!
Also Hades being a bad guy. Four shots!
@@jacobjake7623 Thank god we're not doing tall glasses.
We'd be FOHKED
Yoo wsg haven't watched it yet but ik it's gonna be a banger
Excellent. Thank you. I adored Greek Mythology as a child. So much so that, when I started school, I was genuinely amused when we were told Bible Stories. No doubt children of Ancient Greece were likewise fed fantastical tales of derring-do under the auspices of factual historical accounts.
I enjoyed the 1981 version of Wrath of The Titans, despite all its flaws. I will look at your other vids to see if you have produced a like-for-like comparison between 2012, 1981 and the original legends. I think that would be fun. (For me at least). Cheers.
12:21 which is a shame. from what you showed, he looked like a good bloke.
Also, solid Odyssey reference with the no body line.
So I think another reason everyone tends to think of the titans as gigantic is
The fact that kronos was large enough to swallow his children whole and keep them (up to full grown human size) in his stomach until zeus freed them. Not this could just be god magic. But most people aren't going to think of that, they are going to assume he was massive. This would also explain how he was able to be tricked by a rock in a cloth and not instantly see it was a rock and not a baby. If you're human sized and can't tell. you need glasses. if you're a giant and you can't tell, well that makes sense.
But also, there's just the fact that titan or titanic are used to convey massive size, just as giant and colossal are. So when most people hear the titans of greek myth. they are probably going to think they are giant.
also, correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't Atlas described as being much larger than Heracles?
“There are no good gods BOY” the crew probably played some GOW in between movies.
I like it how every movie and game that has the Greek gods. Make Poseidon look weak, and die first. He's the second strongest god in the mythology.
Idk if you’ve watched it yet but you should cover Krapopolis. It’s right up your alley
I love the cyclops nobody joke cuz I just barely remember it from watching the odyssey
Something I can't believe you forgot to mention is when Hephestas says "In the beginning, Hades was the just one. T'were your daddy who became drunk on power." Even Hephestas called out Hollywood's bull crap.
I really like the part of the video were you said Hestia is bestia I really like the rmhy
