Clash of the Titans (2010) | comment |
Clash of the Titans is a 2010 Epic Fantasy Action Adventure film with some passing resemblance to the Greek myth of Perseus. It is a remake of 1981's Clash of the Titans, and, like that film contains no actual Titans from Greek myths.Sam Worthington plays the role of Perseus, the demigod son of Zeus (played by Liam Neeson), who is unaware of his godly heritage. When the mortals foolishly incite the wrath of the gods by comparing Andromeda to them, Hades shows up and gives them the ultimatum of sacrificing Andromeda or being destroyed by the Kraken.Perseus is forced to go on an adventure with his allies to find a way to save Andromeda and stop the Kraken.A sequel, Wrath of the Titans,note which coincidentally is the title used in Brazil and all Spanish versions for the first movie was released in April 2012. It does have Titans in it. | |

Kill the God | |
Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_10add6ee | comment |
Kill the God: Various rulers are trying to do this to the Olympians by destroying their temples and denying them worship. While it does weaken them, the gods are still powerful enough to inflict misery on the commonfolk, whose suffering their arrogant rulers ignore. It also doesn't do anything to weaken Hades, since he draws power from their fear of death. | |

Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: As Andromeda isn't Perseus's love interest anymore, there's very little reason for her to appear — other than to be sacrificed to the Kraken. Likewise Calibos has very little reason to appear, as he's not Perseus's romantic rival — nor is Thetis an antagonist in the story. | |

Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: To the point of only giving Bubo the mechanical owl a cameo (probably as they thought it would be too much of a Joke Character). Pretty-boy Perseus in the white toga is replaced with buzzcut grim Perseus in even more anachronistic medieval leather armor; Bubo is briefly shown then as quickly cast aside; most of the winged horses are white but the Pegasus Perseus tames is jet black; and the toga-wearing Olympian thespians now wear late medieval plate armor. There's also a tone shift from the lighter Heroic Fantasy to grittier Sword and Sorcery. | |

Home Guard: The Dwindling Party of soldiers assigned to help Perseus in his mission are from an Honor Guard, distinguished soldiers too old to fight on the front lines or young inexperienced soldiers who look good on display. They are all he gets because the rest of the Argive army had recently been wiped out after picking a fight with Zeus and Hades. | |

Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: In the 1981 version, Zeus's punishments were severe and often caused collateral damage, but the people he punished were guilty of acts of cruelty, and he tried to help Perseus as much as he could. In this version, his punishments are just for insufficiently worshiping him, and he is willing to kill his own son for siding with humans. | |

It Has Been an Honor | |
Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_2612a967 | comment |
It Has Been an Honor: Just before they begin their apparently suicidal quest, Perseus says something akin to this to the companions who chose to remain with him. He remarks that his father was, at least initially, the only great man he knew. Now, he could say he knew four great men. He then directs his attention to Io and the Djinn, amending his statement with: "And one woman. .... and whatever the hell you are." | |

Io isn't even from the same myth as Perseus.

Mythology Gag | |
Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Perseus and his men, with great effort, manage to fight and kill a small number of scorpions, which are roughly as big as the ones from the original movie. Then their bigger brother comes out... Perseus finds a small mechanical owl in a box. "What the hell is this?" The commander simply tells him to put it back in. Probably intended as a Take That! at the 1981 film, for which the owl has been disparaged for being included just to ripoff R2-D2. Zeus takes out a small statue of Perseus and says his name, harkening back to the original. | |

Everybody Hates Hades | |
Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_2cfee88 | comment |
As usual, Hades is a villain who acts as a Satan expy who wishes to overthrow Zeus (God) and unleash "hell on earth" and must be defeated by Perseus, the son of God. Given that the original myth specifically states that Hades helps Perseus on his quest (by giving him the invisibility hat) and that in the fables Hades was perfectly content with his position (and is one of the few gods who is all around decent), this comes across as jarring. | |

Sadly Mythtaken | |
Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_2ec87029 | comment |
Sadly Mythtaken: The Kraken is from Norse Mythology. Though it seems to be a stand-in for Cetus, which was a similar Sea Monster slayed by Perseus using Medusa's head. Contrary to the reference by one of the Stygian witches, Medusa and the Kraken were not Titans. The Titans were Elder Gods, who were overthrown by a race of younger gods, their descendants, a.k.a., the Olympians. The Gods won the Titanomachy by themselves. Io isn't even from the same myth as Perseus. Io wasn't "cursed with agelessness"; she was Hera's priestess at her temple in Argos and a princess of Argos who was turned into a cow by Zeus to hide her from his jealous wife Hera when she caught the two canoodling (she certainly didn't spurn Zeus' advances). The original myth has Perseus seeking Medusa's head for a completely unrelated reasons to Andromeda's plight. He saves her because he happens to be flying home on ' winged sandals and comes across this poor Virgin Sacrifice strapped to a rock. In Greek mythology Hades was not an adversary of the other gods, just a member of the pantheon that oversaw of an area of concern (the afterlife) that most people would rather not think about. He was even married to his beautiful niece Persephone. Zeus revolted against his father, Kronos and the other Titans, defeated them, and banished them to Tartarus, a dungeon in the Underworld. Hades was not banished. He drew lots with Zeus and Poseidon, for shares of the world. He drew the Underworld, making him also the god of the hidden wealth of the earth, including gold and silver. He was cool with it. The movie also says he was not worshiped and while he was seldom worshiped as Hades (that name mostly refers to his realm) he was often worshiped in Greece under the name Pluton, the god of wealth. About three days into their seven day journey (on foot mind you), they enter a desert and encounter Djinn. While there were deserts in the traditional definition of "Greece", which included Turkey (and also explains the Doric ruins), it still doesn't explain how they got there from the Peloponnese in three days, or why they even got that far off course. One thing weirder about Sheik Suleiman? While the title Sheik and legends of Djinn predate Islam, Suleiman is a very Islamic name for something set in the same vague time period as Mythological Greece. The Roman Empire should cover the Mediterranean and Christianity should be around if Djinn have Muslim names. Mankind was created by a Titan called Prometheus, not Zeus. By some accounts, Zeus delegated the job to brother Titans, Prometheus (the wisest Titan; his name means "forethought") and Epimetheus (the stupidest Titan; his name means "afterthought"). Perseus was Acrisius' grandson, not his stepson. Zeus impregnated Acrisius' daughter by appearing as a shower of golden light, not as her husband. She was never married, due to this wacky prophecy about her son being the one who kills Acrisius (some versions make the murder intentional, others account his death by Perseus pulling out Medusa's head at a dinner party. It makes sense in context). Coincidentally, Hercules (aka Heracles, the great-grandson of Perseus) was the one created by Zeus masquerading as some woman's husband... Still another holds that Perseus entered a discus competition and his discus went astray and killed a spectator, Acrisius. Medusa doesn't live in the Underworld. There was only one Pegasus, not a herd, who sprang forth from Medusa's neck after she was killed. (Indeed, "Pegasus" actually means "he who sprang".) Pegasus was also not ridden by Perseus, but his paternal cousin (in some sources) Bellerophon. | |

Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: A lot of the human storylines are dropped to spend more time on Perseus fighting monsters. Which a lot of viewers are perfectly fine with. Oddly, while the monsters are impressively animated, the filmmakers have done relatively little to make them distinctive in contrast to the original. Calibos, for instance, has gone from a deformed half-saytr thing to, well, Two-Face in a tunic. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: Hades himself finally enters the fray! Oh this is gonna be the big climactic awesome battle — oh wait, all Perseus needed to do was just toss his sword at him and Hades just.... goes home? Somewhat justified in that it's stated that when Perseus slays the Kraken, Hades will be drastically weakened and Zeus supercharged it with a Bolt of Divine Retribution as Perseus held it aloft. However, this does not make it less of a curb-stomp. | |

Advertised Extra: Promos gave special focus to Danny Huston as Poseidon, Luke Evans as Apollo and Alexa Davalos as Andromeda. None of them gets more than about five minutes of screen time. In the latter two cases, the movie underwent extensive re-shoots and their characters ended up severely cut down. There was also considerable hype about some of the other Greek Gods, such as Hestia and Artemis. They would have had only a couple of lines in group scenes. | |

Gods Need Prayer Badly | |
Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_4c782fb9 | comment |
Gods Need Prayer Badly: One of the main points in the war between the gods and man. Zeus and most of the Olympians sustain their immortality through the prayers of humans. This provides a problem when humans not only stop worshiping Olympus, but actively try and starve the gods of badly-needed prayers through blasphemy. As one would expect, it doesn't go well... especially since Hades doesn't need people to pray to him, as he draws power from people's fear of death. | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: Medusa is a complicated example. The first myths of her state that she was so hideous, the sight turned men to stone. Other myths state that Medusa retained her mortal beauty as some kind of cruel irony, and that the powers were in her eyes. A third set offer a compromise and state that Medusa was both beautiful and terrible at the same time. The third appears to be the school of thought this movie is following. Medusa is played by a supermodel — but gets a Game Face when she uses her powers. | |

Plot Hole | |
Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: The entire plot of the movie hinges on internal contradictions: The gods supposedly need human prayer to survive, yet they predate humanity and even fought a cosmic war with the titans without so much as a single worshipper to empower them. The Kraken is a monster so powerful that even gods and titans could not defeat it. However, the gaze of Medusa's severed head, whose powers were the result of a curse cast on her by Athena in a fit of pique, can instantly turn it into stone. Somehow it never occurred to any of the gods to just make another such monster in order to stop the Kraken, and by extension Hades. Evacuation apparently doesn't exist in Argos' dictionary, since they never try to just book it from their city considering Hades only ever said the Kraken would destroy their home. The best interpretation was that they probably didn't want to risk flipping off the gods even further. | |

Family-Unfriendly Violence: While the movie does have a PG-13 rating to it, there is a scene where Calibos graphically rips a man in half with his bare hands. And yes, it is shown on the screen with blood splattering. It's over very quickly (probably how the film managed to keep the PG-13), but it does still cause a "Did they just do that?" moment. | |

Scary Scorpions: Massive killer scorpions caused by the blood of Calibos, who has been given godly powers by Hades. The scorpions seem to be better at the job than Calibos was. The scorpions kill two Argosian soldiers (as opposed to Calibos's four), but they tend to make more of an impression, being, you know, giant scorpions. | |

Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Eldritch Abomination: The Kraken is an incredibly huge monster older than the entire human race, that sleeps on the bottom of the ocean. It killed the Titans, and even the gods fear it. Plus, there's the fact that its design is rather... alien. | |

Mass "Oh, Crap!" | |
Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_97fa0a10 | comment |
Mass "Oh, Crap!": When Hades makes his appearance in the throne room scene, it's obvious everyone is thinking Oh, Crap!, especially the queen who had just finished saying that they were the new gods. As if a shadowy black figure materializing in your throne room whilst killing all of your guards wasn't reason enough to have this reaction, Cassiopeia then asks for his name: "I am Hades". Cue Cassiopeia and about half the room looking like they've just soiled themselves. The scene where after a deadly battle with a single giant scorpion, they find themselves surrounded by half a dozen or so giant scorpions. Eep. The arrival of the Kraken. | |

Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_9a480050 | comment |
Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: Note to Acrisius: when attempting to murder your wife and the bastard son of the thunder god, refrain from doing so on top of a cliff, in a storm while waving your sword around like a lightning rod. The results are... unpleasant to say the least. Same goes for comparing your daughter's beauty to that of a goddess when humanity-divinity relations are already strained to the breaking point. Cassiopeia learns this lesson the hard way. | |

Lost Aesop | |
Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_bcc92de7 | comment |
Lost Aesop: Zig-Zagged: For the first part of the film, the human heroes are preparing to go to war against the gods in revenge for their tyrannical mistreatment, but then about halfway through Zeus realizes what Hades is up to and decides to secretly help Perseus on his quest to defeat him. After Hades is dealt with, the humans declare their Rage Against the Heavens to be over, even though Zeus, who was acting like a prick and preparing to put the mortals in their place before Hades arrived on the scene, receives no comeuppance whatsoever. On the other hand, the humans did just royally screw over one of the principal Olympians, Perseus winning Zeus's respect in the process. So while the humans didn't actively overthrow Olympus, they put themselves on the map, as it were, and it's heavily implied the Gods won't be as dickish to mankind in the future. As the sequel shows, the fact the humans didn't actively destroy Olympus is a very, very good thing, as doing so would have unleashed something a lot nastier. | |

Nightmare Face: Medusa's face transforms into something like a demon snake when she petrifies her victims (or in one case, tries to). | |

Red Herring | |
Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: One of those soldiers sounds exactly like Liam Neeson. Considering Zeus' penchant for disguising himself as a supporting character, you'd think something was going to be made of this... But nope, it's just a normal soldier who happens to sound exactly like Liam Neeson. Poseidon is frequently mentioned in the beginning of the film as being one of the gods to stand up to the titans, the ruler of the sea who (at least in the eyes of Spyros) is responsible for the lack of fish, and the guy who raped Medusa. Yet he shows up as often as the other gods, besides Zeus and Hades. Hell, even Apollo had a bigger role in the film than Poseidon, and Apollo had all of one scene of dialogue. The first group of soldiers that Perseus teams up with. They seem to have at least a little bit of characterization. They survive all the way back to Argos, basically the beginning of the First Act. | |

Hijacked by Jesus | |
Clash of the Titans (2010) / int_dd3969b | comment |
Hijacked by Jesus: As usual, Hades is a villain who acts as a Satan expy who wishes to overthrow Zeus (God) and unleash "hell on earth" and must be defeated by Perseus, the son of God. Given that the original myth specifically states that Hades helps Perseus on his quest (by giving him the invisibility hat) and that in the fables Hades was perfectly content with his position (and is one of the few gods who is all around decent), this comes across as jarring. Accordingly, Zeus represents the Abrahamic God to an iconographically ridiculous degree. Here, he is the creator of humanity, who loves them and wants their love in turn. He is repeatedly merciful, such as not outright destroying Calibos and his entire army instead only embarrassing him, and has allowed humanity to grow advanced enough that they no longer need the gods for survival. His son, born of a human mother, is the one who has to save humanity from Hades. Djinns belong to Arabian mythology, and the ones from this film take a definitely Muslim vibe to go along the Abrahamic line. | |

Io then tells him the tragic consequences of bearing such a curse: watching her loved ones die while she continues to live, explicitly comparing it to the death of his family when Hades first appeared. | |

As she turns her petrifying gaze towards him, he calmly tells the hero to tell all that "men did this", before smiling smugly as he is turned to stone. An enraged Medusa shatters his petrified form afterwards. | |
