jonny (good kind)the reviews for hercules (1983) are impeccable
Sam LevineMooch, mooch.
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.
At what point do human body builders have too much muscle to float? I don't think it's technically possible, but Hercules looks like he comes close. #Monsterdon
Everyone else just get a spammer thanks to the feed? #Monsterdon
The return key on my keyboard case just mysteriously stopped working. Going to be really annoying if this keeps up. #Monsterdon
Cosmic rays of deadly fire!!! #Monsterdon
I assure you CIrce, the hydra is not "the three headed dragon that guards the gates of hell". For one hell doesn't exist in your mythos. For two how did you mix up a dog and a dragon? #Monsterdon
Wait, is he using the shield to reflect the rays the way he reflected Medusa's gaze in the mythos? That's a take. #Monsterdon
Ok, which of you (either former scouts or shibari practitioners) can enlighten us as to what knot she just tied very fancily. #Monsterdon
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.
