Basically the only reason there are any heroes in Greek mythology is because Zeus can't keep it in his pants.
He really gets around.
Perseus’ grandpa is Hercules who’s father was Zeus so Perseus is literally both the great grandson and son of Zeus lol
The genghis khan of Greek mythology
Actually perseus is the son of zeus
He's worse than wolverine
I would’ve added: “Why does everyone assume Hades is evil all because he’s Commander of the Dead? He’s one of the least problematic gods and only f**ks up those who really cross the line”.
*Christianity*
J4 Genius it happened waay before Christianity
Hades is just as problematic as the rest of the gods, he kidnapped a young girl and forced him to marry her. In this time period in ancient Greek & Rome woman were still property of the husbands and didn't really have any rights. So essential he made her a slave. Depending on the cult that worshiped Hades its stated that he raped her as well no different from Zeus or Poseidon.The only difference is that Hades got in trouble for his actions, because instead of raping humans and minor gods, Persephone had a powerful mother[Demeter] who could save her. Demeter also loved her daughter as well, as plenty of other demigods were ignored when they called upon their parents to save them. Not that different from crimes that still today. Rich powerful man commits a crime and he can get away with it, unless he commits a crime to someone equal rich and powerful.Its true that Christianity had some effect on Hades representation but the full truth is that the other gods/goddess choose their victims more carefully. Hades is ‘evil’ because not only did he do the crime but he got caught and called out on it by. In addition he choose to victimize someone with a powerful family that cared. Hades is just as complicit as his brothers just not as criminal sophisticated.[ In fact Zesus is the one that arranged the kidnapping ]
@@stargazing_gazer2847 Actually, he didn't rape her. In the ancient times, the word rape meant abduction. It was later that the word rape became what it means today. Also, kidnapping your bride-to-be was normal back then. And some facts: unlike Zeus and Poseidon, Hades has only two mistress. Persephone only has one: Adonis. Hades is not technically evil. He's just greatly feared. Maybe because of the fact that he was assigned the task of punishing evil mortals in the Underworld. I also advise you to read the myths of Orpheus, Sisiphus, and Pirithous for measure
@@stargazing_gazer2847* forced her to marry him.. Your analysis is great tho
Seriously, add a sin for continuing to make hades the bad guy when he’s the most responsible god of the big three.
I will say it again : *Thank Christianity for that*
@Blue Bean you're probably thinking about the story of Theseus and Porytheous. Those were the only 2 mortals Hades screwed over, and trust me, both of them were assholes and had it coming.
There was a common misconception that Hades is malevolent due to the fact he rules the Underworld, which is entirely wrong. In fact, he did abduct Persephone, but he realized he made a big mistake, and he made a deal with her that Persephone would come back every winter, but not before they married. In Greek Mythology, Underworld was portrayed as both Heaven (Elysian Fields) and Purgatory (Torture Fields), Hades helped keep an eye out of the dead while being kept in the Underworld, and the true Hell in Greek Mythology was Tartarus, which kept malevolent souls, including Titans, below the Underworld. Why not having Kronos as the bad guy?
@@prehistorichero2755 Kronos is the bad guy in the sequel Wrath of the Titans
TVBnine Exactly.
Can we add, "Hades is the villain even though he was about the most laid back god in Greek mythology" cliche?
Not to mention the most loyal husband despite the whole kidnapping his wife thing.
@@brandonlyon730 Yeah, for one he was faithful to Persephone, unlike his brothers to their wives.
Right ?? He’s like the only God who DIDNT seriously screw with the lives of mortals , why is he always portrayed as the villain?
@@blakemamba2067 Judeo-Christian influence associated him with their devil simply because he is an underworld deity .
No, the reason why hades is the bad guy here is because the director is a huge fan of saint seiya where a where the athena have to fight with her saints the gods of olimpus, like poseidon and hades, and like in the movie hades wanted to make a eternal eclipse so you can see the inspiration.
A sin I find with this movie is they made Hades evil, when he's one of the most chill Greek gods. =/
Yeah. I hate when Hades is portrayed as a Devil-like figure and Zeus a super good guy, bc the actual ones in myth are far different. That’s why I like Hades, the only one of the big three to care about consent.
I think that’s more than just one thing
@@astra3310 I mean, the only real bad thing Hades did in the stories was kidnap his niece until she got Stockholm syndrome. That's still bad, obviously. But it's not as bad ad the things the others.
He just wanted to be left alone
The dudes dog is literally named spot
Sin: Medusa is supposed to be UGLY. Like, undeniably, not-just-because-of-hair-snakes ugly. Reversing her beauty was the WHOLE POINT of her origin story as the snake-haired monster.
Also Perseus killed her in her sleep. No big battle but then that's not action enough for a movie
Counter-Sin: that is one variation of the myth, and there are several. One variation claims she was indeed ugly as all hell. Another claims she had boar tusks and hands made out of gold. And yet another one claims that Athena took "pity" on Medusa after transforming her into a monster and decided to let her keep her beautiful face, and even make it perpetually youthful. And accounting for multiple variations when one does the job is just asinine.
Also there are actually 3 Medusa and only one can turn people to stone
Medusa the most pure and a virgin until zeus rapes her then aprodite gets jealous and curses her, im siding with the titans zeus was a prick who could worship him
@@toker6664 it was Poseidon not Zeus
fun fact: in the original Greek Mythology, Medusa never had a snake body She had her head of snakes (of course) A humanoid body and devil wings the snake body is purely Hollywood because hey... snake Medusa would be more fun in claymation than typical bat-winged gorgon. :P
\m/ Bat-winged Gorgon
Medusa never had wings and her head was not a snake her hair was snake. That was a punishment from Athena because she thought that medusa was disrespecting her by having sexy with Poseidon in her temple...
@@los2326 'She had her head of snakes' Have you never heard the phrase "A head of hair?" he was referring to that phrase.
@@los2326 Medusa was begging Athena to protect her while being raped. She was punished for running for help.
Another fun fact: Io was a woman that got turned into a cow
Actually it was known in mythology that Medusa was quite skilled with a bow and arrow, and the reason her stare worked on the kraken but not the jinn was because the stare only works on creature made of flesh and bone. That specific jinn no longer had any flesh or bone from all the battles it had encountered and was therefore immune. 👌 love the videos though
Sorry not sorry but no, not even in a single source Medusa is known to be skilled with bow and arrow.
@@drakegrandx5914 Its not Medusa but her sister that is skilled with bows and arrows in the myths,but usually it is too much work to put the other two gorgons so they just smash everything into Medusa.
@@lordanonimmo7699 Her sisters are ever barely mentioned though?! The most characterization they have is trying to kill Perseus before he leaves the caves to avenge Medusa, aside that they are never elaborated upon.
Not defending anything from this movie or anything, but in some sources, yes, Medusa was depicted as having skill with a bow
theres always some hidding truth, somewhere
I came looking for someone else correcting him on this!
Could you tell me where you found this information? I am genuinely curious, as I've never heard of that.
It's funny as that is also the source of inspiration for the Medusa character in the Heroes of Might and Magic games. Death glare, and with a bow and arrow at her side :) But as usual Jeremy half asses his way through any kind of extended research. Not defending the movie either, but that's worth at least 10 sins for him in every vid he does
@@chavamara It's probably more a thing about the Gorgons, as they are pretty often depicted with Bow and Arrow. Also Medusa herself (as far as I know) didn't use weapons in the greek mythology.
Nothing is more Greek mythology than Greeks speaking in a British accent!
I mean to be fair the Greeks lived pretty close to where Great Britain is so I mean...
Their accents were SUPER far away though- even though they were kind of close (on a whole world scale- not on a normal scale)
They did a better job in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey!
I'm glad someone else brought this up! What is up with studios always using Brits & Australians to play characters in movies that take place in Ancient Greece? Troy, Hercules, 300, Clash of the Titans, The Odyssey, the list goes on!
I disagree.... Watching a ww2 movie when ever a German (including Hitler) speaks with a British accent, Is way worse....
how did they not mention that io is literally perseus’s fairy godmother, shes thousands of years old, and they decide to have kids.
I totally agree. I'd also like to point out Zeus' many affairs.
Funny though. One of Perseus' descendants was Alcmene, Heecules' mother
To be fair, Greek mythology has a long history problem with incest.
Or maybe they “Zeus” know it’s incest and yet still they’re all like “Fuck this! Fuck that! Fuck you! Fuck me! Fuck that random-ass bush over there! Just Fucking Everyone!!
no need for formalities just let the dick do its thing
The thing i really laughed at was that when he pulled out the head out of the sack he got REALLY lucky it faced the right way, for the same chance he could have just stunned himself xD
Here, let me help. 1) It’s called Clash of the Titans but there’s not a single titan in the movie. 2) Medusa kills more people than the actual “kraken”. 3) They go from fighting in a forest to fighting in desert dunes in a single fight scene.
😂😂😂damn this deserves more likes
I mean... They said something along the lines of "why not use a titan to kill a titan" - referring to Medusa and the Kraken both being classed as titans in this film for... some reason. So it's "5 seconds of titans clashing in which the lazy writing one turns the cool one to stone"
Yea... I also recall that movie, "Remember The Titans" but all I saw were football players. LOL
1) False Advertisement *ding* 2) Potentially passable since in the mythology we don't have specific body counts between Medusa and the 'kraken' (i.e Cetus the sea monster) 3) Reeks of cut scenes, either that or a generally clueless editor team/director *ding* 4) I have no idea why I made this comment *gnid*
Actually, no. The Kraken killes hundreds of people in his short time awakening. You can see them die on Olympus.
Seriously, why is Hades talking like Voldemort, LOL XD Come on Ralph
If you was Ralph Fiennes and you was paid to act in this peice of shit movie- wouldn't you just do a cut and paste acting job from your last one?! lol
At least he wasn't doing it in 007 😂
i don't know
"AQUAMORT" XDDDDDDD
phoning it in for the paycheque
I had to watch this movie in one of my mythology-related classes. I can't remember which one, but I remember being really mad that we were wasting precious learning time on something so thoroughly divorced from the actual material.
My class in school did Greek Mythology one year, and we watched this as well (We also watched Lightning Thief). I didn't really think how divorced it was from the source materials at the time (I was 11 though). What really ground my gears with that period of school, was that we were supposed to be doing Greek Mythology, but we covered the Norse myth where a giant steals Mjolnir, and Thor dresses up as Freja to get it back. This was after we'd covered vikings literally three years earlier. Unfortunately, I couldn't call my teacher out on this mistake, because she was one of those who got angry if a student pointed out a mistake, even if they were polite about it.
When i was in school idc how bad a movie was, aslong as we saw a movie lol. Those were the best days
The original movie was more in the line of Greek mythology
@@reggiefreeborn2143 That's what I think =)
Dont lie you were never mad to waste so called learning time and you know it.
"What do the gods provide us" Only protection from the other immortal beings who would kill everyone.
Let's not forget a lot of the monsters were made from Zeus sticking his dick in everything, or Poseidon also sticking his dick in everything. Getting weird creatures pregnant with even more weird creatures.
What other immortal beings?
@@yueshijoorya601 the titans
@@true_Canadian419 The Titans did not smite and rape and demand like the Olympians. In fact, when they ruled, the world was just and mankind was happy. Cronus termed this period the Golden Age.
@@yueshijoorya601 mankind was made in the olymapion age and the titans imprisoned their brothers the first 3 cyclops and hekintonkeries (I think I got that wrong) and their king Kronos ate his children
About your comment of "why would the head of Medusa work on the Kraken, but not on the Djinn guy". In the movie, those 3 witches specifically said "Anything of flesh is killed by her gaze", and the Kraken is obviously flesh and blood. The Djinn removed most of their organs and flesh to convert magic into them. I'm not necessarily defending the movie, but I'm just saying they explained it and you didn't pay attention.
Are you new here ?
@@mossadon no.
Thank God someone else actually noticed that. As soon as he sinned it i was saying the same thing lol.
Still sounds really stupid... Not a accurate sin but deserved Nonetheless
The way Perseus defeats the Kraken is straight from Greek mythology so it's not like the writers just made it up.
Why is the ferryman saving up? To buy a yacht? I can't get enough of this😂😂
have you seen his boat? repairs dont pay for themselves.
He is saving up to build a bridge, as it is much easier to be a toll taker than a ferryman.
Seriously though, they transfer some of their essence when they give coin to Charon. Thus, prolonging his existance. I would assume that coins themselves are more or less useless to him.
@@jinxedly823 From what I've read of Greek mythology, it's just a custom. Give a drachma and take a ride across the Styx. Don't know if there's any specific reason
5:16 I agree. "Agelessness" seems like a very convenient curse. At best it means you never suffer from old age - and then you die of it, at worst it means you have eternal life unless you get killed. Either way not that bad. Real immortality is a lot less convenient since it doesn't have an off switch.
The really depressing part is that in Greek mythology, Perseus' mother Danae was actually allowed to live and marry his adopted father. It's rare for a modern version of an ancient story to be more harder on its female characters than the original.
"He knows the men who broke the statue but then goes after the innocents on the boat" Do you now know greek myths? All of the gods are basically waiting to smite everyone in a 100 mile radius for the smallest things.
Hades is usually pretty fair in the punishment he doles out (unlike basically every other Greek god).
@@entropyzero5588 Yeah it's pretty fucked up that the God of the Underworld who kidnapped Persephone and fed her grapefruit seeds to force her to stay with him six months out of the year is actually one of the most moral Greek gods
And most of the time in the story where Hades kidnaps Persephone, Persephone actually wanted to be kidnapped.
@@jefferycrouse4652 Hades is the God of Underworld. Thanatos is the God of Death.
That's one of things that bugs me about most of these movies based on Greek myth. Hades is almost always the bad guy, despite the fact that in the myths he's basically just the god of judgement and the afterlife. Hades is one of the only gods who DOESN'T randomly mess up things for humans or curse people for little to no reason. While he does 'kidnap' Persephone, in most versions I've heard she wants to be with him. There's only an issue because her mom wants her too. The only other god who is as moral as Hades is Hephaestus. Who does little except act as a blacksmith and prank Aphrodite for cheating on him.
Also, the fact that they said God's "Immortality" is because of Human prayers is some bullshit. Gods are immortal, their strength is increased by worship. And WHY does every single movie about Greek Mythology have Hades going against Zeus directly even though that basically NEVER happens in Greek Mythology?
Because almost every single movie about Greek Mythology is aimed at a mostly ignorant audience who knows jackshit about mythology and, therefore, the writers use the dicotomy Zeus/Hades as an equivalent to God/Satan
Because Hades rules the Underworld so he has to be depicted as some variant of the Devil rather than just be the Keeper of the Afterlife who generally just hangs out with his dog and occasionally kidnaps Persephone to have some company
BEcause idiotic hollywood archetypes...
@@jefferycrouse4652 a movie about Persephone and how powerful & feared she eventually became would be bad @$$. Hades wasnt half as evil as movies depict. But she had some serious latent darkness issues. 😁
Because the Percy Jackson movie fucked up its own source material...
The greek myths in this movie is do damn messed up.
Same statement with Troy and Percy Jackson.
13:30 How did you not sin the bow string clipping through her body?
Was that clipping or shadow of the bow string? Either oops, bad clipping or nice, good shadow work.
@@chris-jq1se definitely clipping, there's only one line, and that's the string. and if it were a shadow, it would have wrapped around the side of her body, but this just stabs right through her

1:57 "Soldiers from ARGOS! They're armed to the teeth with catalogues and those little pens you normally see in betting shops!"

@@360Fov Four - I count Alexander Siddig, even though Doran Martell got less time than he should've.
Despite my degree in Ancient History, every single time I hear "soldiers from Argos" my first assumption is that they mean Argos the shop and have purchased some soldiers there...
Wait why is Argos the shop called Argos? Is it like how the condoms are named after the trojans
“Zeus created man” Goddamnit. It was Prometheus. Great job, Hollywood.
Prometheus was part of man's creation but all he did was make them stand upright and give them fire, tbf
Fenrys Temple Ah, ok. Thanks for the correction!
@@pastabird2078 absolutely! (I had to look it up to double check haha)
Nah, it's a mistake. But we've all learned from it, so no harm, no foul!
Read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and it was called: The modern Prometheus. Then I studied Epimetheus and his brother... they are the ones credited with making man.
Paying the ferryman(Charon) by putting coins on the corpse's eyes is actually something from Ancient Greece. I'm not too hung up on Io knowing these things like speaking Djinn or knowing entrances to the underworld, she's immortal and has lived for centuries. She's picked some things up. Also, not only Medusa using a bow and arrow from the original movie, but it'd make sense she'd not just rely on her petrification stare all the time just in case she can't get a clear look at them. She'd wound them with arrows like she does here and while they're in pain, petrify them. I think you can hyah any animal if it can understand you, pegasus or no.
in some version, its in the mouth.
The Greeks also put one coin under the tongue, which actually came first
13:30 the string of the bow is moving straight trough her body.
@Kalimat .198 It's not. That's not how shadows work. If it were a shadow, it'd wrap around her body.
2:26 "Aquamort"
I think sam worthington is underrated. people don't like him for being put in big movies like avatar or clash of the titans. but he isn't that bad of an actor
He's better than Vin Diesel, The Rock, and a lot of "big" stars today.
Uh no? It's his acting that sucks. He can't seem to make good facial expressions. Dude is like a robot. Sounds like one too. Much like that chick from Twilight.
Dude's Alex Mason from the COD Black Ops series, man! He's awesome. Then again, that makes him both one of my favorite video game characters and a shitty version of one of my favorite mythological characters.
@@shadowspider9 Can't disagree.
He's pretty fucking bad in big movies. He might be better in smaller ones, but he's been terrible in the ones I've seen him in. Also, he needs to keep a consistent fucking accent.
Oh hello "Liam Neeson isn't killing anyone in this scene", it's been a while!
but he is, he is killing _me_ smalls... with boredom.
Wait, didn't he send Hades to kill those people that destroyed his statue? Technically he did
In Sam Worthington's defense, he's been busy filming the Avatar sequels almost back to back. The first one took 7 years to make, part of that was the language, sure, but new cast mates still have to learn the language. And since there's supposed to be 5 or 6 Avatar sequels, him not being in every movie like Brad Pitt used to be makes sense. He's done some small stuff here and there between Avatar filming, and I'm sure after those start coming out he'll start being in more stuff more frequently.

I'm surprised Cinemasins left out that Medusa was a priestess turned into a monster as punishment for having been raped by Poseidon. So they basically killed a rape victim who didn't go out terrorising people, was constantly hounded by armed heroes trying to kill her and basically just wanted to left alone.
There debate on that topic as theirs some inconsistencies with the tapes by Posidon origin, as their is one thing not taken account of , Medusa has 2 sisters. And they are Gorgons just like her, they are never stated to work as priestess or were also raped by Posidon just Medusa so their isn’t an explanation of why they are Gorgons as well. Other myths just state that Medusa was born a Gorgon where she had 2 other siblings. Then again Myths are never consistent anyway and their different interpretations of everything.
I thought you are going to talk about the the scorpion shield being defined as lighter and stronger than any metal while it was penetrated easily by Persus and Draco in the earlier fight scene with the scoripions
And if its so much stronger than normal steel how did that one guy fashion it up for him in a desert lmaooooo
"Did he just 'hiya' a Pegasus"? That took me out. Freaking hilarious!!!!!!
Epimetheus created man, not Zeus... Perseus' mom survived her trip in the box, Humans defying gods usually ended badly in that mythology (it's called "hybris", yo !) Hades is not "bad", normally he just doesn't give a damn about mortals. His whole thing is to rule the lands of the deads, that's all The kraken is northern mythology, not greek The notion of "sin" is christian, not greek. So a greek would never say "we must pray to the one who showed us our sins" Djinns are from the muslim mythology, there's about a 1000 years and a whole continent's mistake !! There are TONS of demi-gods, and very few of them make it to the god status, let alone it be considered "normal" by Zeus In no story is Medusa in the underworld... And all these sins are just basic cultural knowledge, really. Seen the budget of that movie maybe they could have afforded to open one single freaking book on greek mythology ?
Prometheus and Zeus were more vital to mans creation than Epimetheus, he’s more the kinda every other animal guy.
@@mikegoldab9848 I agree on Prometheus, Zeus though did not much but hate them at first
What about the time paradox when Perseus rides pegasus on his way to kill the medusa, wich gave birth to the first pegasus through her blood from severed head? Before Medusa's death there was no pegasus.

You mean "deus ex machina" ?
Welcome to the internet/cinema cins/memes. You must be new here.
7:04 You made a mistake. Hades’ henchman was the king whose wife got screwed by Zeus. He was struck by lighting which I believe either killed him or made him look like his deformed version. It’s explained in the movie which is why he has so much contempt for Zeus and Perseus (the bastard child of Zeus and his wife) which he threw into the ocean out of anger.

This movie craps all over the actual Greek myth. Perseus’s mother didn’t die, the original king wasn’t Perseus’s mother’s husband but her father, Hades LIKED Perseus (and Hades like, isn’t evil), the Argos stuff had nothing to do with Perseus until after Medusa. Etc.
Why is Hades always evil in hollywood movies? Apart from kidnaping Persephone he doesn't do any other evil thing as far as I know.
@@uyuman1 because he's the god of the underworld and in Hollywood if you a deity with a connection to the dead.. you are evil.
Because Hollywood wants all the Christians to be able to relate so they need a devil character. It's really dumb.
@@uyuman1 Hades is like the most chill dude in all the Greek Mythology. He at least stays faithful to his wife unlike his whore of a brother Zeus, who fucks anything chick that catches his interest.
That's pretty much 90% of Greek mythology movies, including Percy Jackson, which craps all over both Greek mythology AND the namesake books. The silver lining: do you know for how long I've been waiting for Cinemasins to tear them all apart in a shitty mythology movie marathon?! Hope the sequel, Immortals and Hercules (not the Dwayne Johnson one) are all next XD
15:26- "did he just 'hyah' that Pegasus?" lmao
13:24 I specifically recall Medusa having a bow and arrow. That's +1 movie sin for you Mr. CinemaSins.
9:57 Not like I want to be too much of a geek, but people were buried with coins so they had something to pay Charon, the ferryman, to board his boat and be taken across the river Styx. It was the way to Hades. If they didn’t have the correct fee, they would wander the banks of the river as wraiths for 100 years. However, coins were usually placed in the mouth, not on the eyes.
Yup, talk about real laziness on his part.
hyethga Yeah. I guess it made for a funny quip.
He said why give him the coins, and then stated what is the ferryman going to do with any coins
@@evanjenkinz maybe a proff that thosse who the ferry carry had paid?Kind of reminds me God of Egypt,where only those who paid enough were allowed go to to the afterlife,other were wiped out (once Buttler´s character set this rule).
He didn't question the intent of burying people with the coins but what Chiron would do with "quarters." And, in a movie so off the wall from the mythology, I'm personally surprised that this one bit was included.

Dont shop at Argos, there is a Titan in there, and he doesnt take coupons.
Rhiannon Andrasko cool story
Same mate, its to hard to not hear it every time😂
Voldehades Hadesmort AAAAAAAH I'll never be able to unsee or unhear it!!!
stfu
I love your way of thinking, keep up the good work
Neeson and Fiennes chewing the scenery while wearing big hair and beards was the best thing about that movie
I could have almost forgiven this movie if the Medusa scene had included Stheno and Euryale, because that would have been hilarious - "Epic battle, blah blah blah, oh no men dying, yay we killed the Gorgon, oh crap why didn't anyone tell us there were two more." And ah yes, Pegasus, son of Poseidon, born from the blood of a decapitated Medusa's neck stump; funny how you never see that version of Pegasus in the movies. Also why do we never get to see Hades in Elysium in these films? He's always residing over some sort of 'I can't believe it's not hell' dimension, but Greek 'heaven' was part of Hades underworld as well.
Elysium was a later invention for the Greek Underworld - it doesn't exist in the Odyssey. But I am 100% with you on Stheno and Euryale! They need to be referred to in more versions! Have you ever watched Class of the Titans? They appear in an episode of that!
Well think about it, Elysium is supposed to be 'heaven' right? Naturally a paradise wouldn't have a god to fear hanging around at all times, thus Hades avoids lingering there too much Well that's the excuse I came up with, a more likely reason is that Hades is always portrayed as evil (for some reason) and being in a paradise doesn't really invoke the same air of menace
@@MoonPatch voldemort is just too goth to hang around in heaven
Voldemort talking with Qui-Gon Jinn is amusing to me.
YES YES YES I've been wanting to see a sins video of this movie for years. I love this movie, it's my guiltiest pleasure by a mile. The awesome Kraken, the surprisingly good score, the practical effect for the Djin, Mads, I love it all. The sequel, however, is horrendous garbage fire so intense that even I hate its guts. A lot. SO MUCH. Pleeeaaase do a sins count of that one next!
7:12 he was stuck by a lightning when he is going to buried his wife and Perseus Also gave him super strenght to lift the coffin
9:57 Actually, yes. Charon, the ferryman that transported the souls of those who died over the river Styx, actually wanted to get paid. If those people didn't have any payment he let them wander on the shores for over 100 years. So yeah, dude wants his yacht. 13:26 Yes, Medusa fought with a bow. It's even in the original film and other depictions of her as well as in the old greek poems. I also played Ago of Mythology back when I was a kid, so I'm a bit of an expert on this. Prostagma!
Aww they dragged Mads Mikkelsen in to this sh*t didn’t they.
"Waste of scorpions right there!"
15:52- on screen says "that makes me incredibly Mads" but if u turn on the captions he says "that makes me incredibly balanced"... so uhhh, wtf is going in there???
Gods? Titans? Zeus? What is this filthy Heresy? I must inform the pope!
one lie about one bitch not lying about cheating on her husband is your whole rationalisation for a lotta shit, isn't it?
When I first saw the trailer for Clash of Titans, I was expecting something along the lines of God of War. Unfortunately that was not the case.
I was thinking it was going to be a straight up remake of the original and I was stoked. Then I watched it.
Gabriel Crosley please don’t give Hollywood any ideas
I honestly hated God of War, it's give people the wrong idea, most times
@Ethan Baker a "good series" is only a matter of opinion; so you can spare me the crying, okay? Lol And and it's not just the Greek gods that were badly represented, but the Norse ones, too
Another movie from this era that's in need of the Cinemasins treatment - Prince of Persia.
What about Kratos? He's never mentioned? I'll put 150 sins for that one
Th original Medusa scene with Harryhousen animation scared the shit out of me as a child. This one made me laugh.
I agree. The mood set in the original for that scene really conveyed tension and fear. I remember almost holding my breath as she slowly hunted Perseus among the statues.
@Team Cap No, I recently watched the 1981 Clash of Titans and this one during a weekend. The 1981 version set an atmosphere of limited lighting, several obstacles, and kept Medusa concealed throughout the attack. The 2010 version had so many supporting characters being featured as death (especially Mads' and Nicholas Hoult's) that it loses tension. We as the audience know Perseus has to survive but the 2010 version disposes of supporting characters the way a horror film would.
@Team Cap The animation is not what makes or breaks a scene. The original animation is crude yes, but they don't show you much, the monster lurks in the shadows. There is danger and a creative way to defeat the monster. The new one feels like a video game, quick cuts, you see the monster right away and there is no tension.
@Team Cap : Even recent viewings of that scene in the 1981 version inspire fear and tension. As other commenters have stated, the creature is obscured by shadows. The director set a tone that inspired tension, a where-is-she? feel. The sound of sliding scales, her hisses, the sound of falling stone... CGI is not bad in and of itself. The problem is in thinking that CGI can run a scene on its own. You see the entire creature. There is little awe or fear inspired by the reveal. It is almost as if the director wants to show off the animation rather than set a mood.
Hands up if you forgot this movie was a thing **raises hand**
Does not knowing it existed till this video count?
I remember very well, this was the first movie to insult me.
Just remember now.
It kinda never was...
And hands up if you (hopefully) forgot the 80s "Clash of the Titans" was a thing. 😀
I love watching you point things out in movies
"The Titans were stopped by their own children." CinemaSins: Fucking Rams, Fucking Kurt Warner! Me: Yay sports!
Yes, Medusa did have a bow and arrows, at least in the original "Clash of the Titans". I think having the ranged weapon is a convenient way to dispatch intruders who avoid looking at her face. She's not a one trick pony.
Still a better Percy Jackson movie than the Percy Jackson movie.
Well to be fair, Perseus and Percy Jackson are two different demigods. Perseus is the son of Zeus and Percy Jackson is the son of Poseidon.
@@KillianConnolly I know, I was making fun of how bad the Percy jackson movies are (mostly as an adaptation)
I liked the first one, but the second one felt lacking in effort and creativity to me.
Unfortunately true, the books were amazing and the movies were just a disappointment.
@@zillah1157 if you haven't already, you should read Rick Riordans other series called Magnus Chase and the gods of asgard. Annabeth is his cousin, so it ties into Percy Jackson a little, and it's honestly a really good story.
"or they can just move" best comment ever. Thank you
I never noticed before, but Persues gives off some major Gary Stu vibes. I must have been too blinded by the spectacle to see it before. In fact, after thinking about it a little longer, I can confidently say Perseus is a massive Gary Stu.
I'd love a Brit rom-com of two shop owners, conflicted over one woman who can make the best toad in the hole this side of Stratford upon Avon. Might be better than this film.
A movie watching the roaches who live in the walls of the shop would be better than this film. Two hours of watching the Avon flowing would be better than this film.
Liam Neeson, shop owner..."I have a particular set of skills... to bring you the best prices on ties in the district!"
"Might"?
Just the shopkeepers going enemies-to-lovers sounds better, no woman needed.
13:15 you finally referred to him as ser davos
The part that killed me the most was "you cant expect to get a woman and a baby everytime you, oh...you meant fish"
"Welcome to Cinemasins, I see you're new here!!" Pound for pound classic
This movie has really got nerve trying to throw shade at the original. The '81 version was superior to this in every way, including special effects. I'll take Harryhausen's masterful stop motion over this generic CGI stuff any day.
I realize that scorning CGI seems fashionable to some people but claiming stop motion from the early '80's looks better than modern day CGI is just laughably absurd. If you showed the CGI scenes from this movie to audiences back then they would be left drooling in awe....and probably start new religions.
@@stiimuli : Harryhausen's stop-motion characters had more "life" and character than the CGI monsters in this particular movie. Creatures often fall "flat" in CGI. I have yet to see a CGI skeletal army fight that comes close to Harryhausen's from "Jason and the Argonauts". Edit: I still love Bubo.
They only snubbed the owl because he refused to do the role if the owl stayed; he thought the thing was stupid and demeaning. Just one more reason why this kid shouldn't be in any major role.
@@stiimuli naaaa my grandfather watch this with me expecting it be cool. He said the movie was shit compare to the old one
@@stiimuli Pretty much. I've seen the original. And calling those effects better is the ultimate example of rose-colored glasses. There are plenty of reasons to hate this version-- the terminal case of "action camera" topping my list-- but the effects are top-notch.
I think in the original movie, the witches refereed to Medusa and the Kraken as titans, even though they aren't technically. So when Medusa's head was used to turn the Kraken into stone, that was the "clash"
the first 13 seconds and im already laughing from "nebulation"
9:45 Hah, I see what you did there.
What a coincidence, I just watch this movie yesterday. And I watch “Wrath of the Titans” today.
I'm sorry.
JoshTheNerd it’s a good movie no matter what people say, Also every sin in this movie was bullshit
I still watch that film, though.
Me too I liked when Apollo kicked the piss out of like all of the humans but in clash he did basically nothing
+1 sin: Perseus isn't played by Ewan McGregor. Come on, we've all thought it. +1 sin: Apollo, the sun god, isn't blond and shining. Which is fine, get a dark haired guy to play him, but then why not have a blond guy play Hades and a ginger play Zeus? +1 sin: Hades looks like Hades from the PSX game "Herc's Adventures" (Lucasarts, 1997); a parody of evil characters. Even Disney's Hades had James Woods doing a more nuanced version with greater character depth. Why does he look and act worse than a Disney villain? And Hades had a helmet that turned him invisible. Where is the helmet? +1 sin: Perseus should've known the owl is goddess Athena's (his half-sister) guardian bird and a symbol of knowledge - in this context knowledge meaning info from spying on people and reporting to the headquarters. There's no reason to ask what the owl was. Like seeing a statue of a deer. Obviously it has something to do with goddess of hunters, Artemis. +1 sin: The Greek gods are all passive-aggressive arseholes. They want to fight each other, but instead they're like "Oh so Zeus is waiting for 12 ships of his devoted warriors to reach the shores of the city I am patron of and attack it? It would be shame if something happened to them while at sea". And Zeus be like: "Yeah? Well it would be a shame if lightning struck the city walls and crumbled them" and Poseidon be like: "You stupid fool, stone isn't a conduit for electric energy! Go back to school".
Stefan B. Loved every last sin especially the Ewan McGregor one
Zeus could totally be ginger because he’s not real, dickbrain. And Apollo was kinda hot (minus mustache or whatever was going on with Luke’s face). Your sins suck. Leave it to Jeremey and company.
@@Thomas20Smith - Thanks, I was a bit confused at first. I thought "Is that Ewan McGregor biffed up and made to look younger?"
The greek "gods" fought wars with the titans and the giants, zeus threw almost all of the titans into tartarus to be tortured for all eternity; with the exception of a few like atlas who he forced to hold the earth for all eternity(which makes no sense because he is larger than the earth and something or someone had to have held the earth before him), and prometheus who he strapped to a rock and sends an eagle to eat his liver every day for all eternity; he also turned his first wife into a fly and ate her in order to prevent her from giving birth to the son that would overthrow him (even though prophecies are always suppose to come true). The only reason why no one stands up to zeus is because he is more powerful than all the others combined(he is the only one of his siblings to not be swallowed by their father shortly after his birth and severely weakened, he is a in truth a Titan while his siblings are weakened titans and their children[and aphodite] are simply "gods")
@@lilchristuten7568 pretty sure Atlas held up the sky not the Earth considering Gaia is the Earth mother
When says she’s Perseus - it was so his mortal dad would know what to name him.. like her whispering in his ear
That scorpion with the "I've got the high ground" quote was the best part of this movie by far!
Lmao love the way Jeremy says: "We're such a cinematically-convenient fishing boat"
Best "that's racist" so far
7:04 I think I vaguely remember something about Zeus striking him with lightning after he kills his wife
7:05 actually Acrisius pointed his sword up to the heavens in anger for what Zeus did with his wife, and Zeus answered with ⚡⚡ in kind 😆
