the reviews for hercules (1983) are impeccable
Eating dinner before we get started tonight (weirdly early, but lunch didn't happen enough) to see if that improves my experience since I won't be distracted by food prep.
Is there any mythology/religion whose origin doesn't start in darkness?
Oh wow, it's like they raided a santa clause shop for those wigs.
We aren't even going to get the background about Zeus being a dirty old man and cheating on Hera to father Hercules?!?!
I guess "making a man out of light" is uh, poetic license to the origins of Perseus? Which isn't even the right hero. And ok, I'll try to take off my "I was a giant mythology nerd in middle school" hat now.
Is that supposed to be a sword next to the crown on the ground? It looks like a churro with a cross guard.
The audio is "divine son" and the captions is "protege" and I really want to know how that happened.
Athena wearing a fancy white dress is bugging me way more than it should. One of her aspects is a warrior goddess!
His muscles are freaking me out.
Are those "pew pew" noises from his punches?
Uh, Daedalus isn't a god? Why are you calling on him? His story ends pretty poorly...
Deadalus is a woman? I have no problem with gender bending, obvs, but what she she wearing?!?!
The other guys only get one sword and Hercules gets two? And no one has a shield, yet they are using single hand weapons?
Oh that's gross, why do his pecs move on their own?!
Cassiopeia? Wrong hero alert again. That's another Perseus reference, and she sure isn't a love interest there.
"It's a shame no one can see you"
That veil is incredibly sheer and we can see her whole face.
Did they really just take a bunch of Greek mythology names and throw them in a bag and grab them randomly like scrabble tiles or when you play charades? Because that's the vibe I'm getting here.
@SRLevine Yup. Just report and block! Definitely don't click the link.
Please tell me this ends with the volcano being Vesuvius and killing Pompeii.
(I have no idea what's going on or if they named the volcano at any point)
The case had a Sybil in it and she didn't play Sybil? Missed opportunity there.
They threw into the bag a few Roman god names as well. Just to keep us guessing.
