jonny (good kind)Can't guarantee I'll make it through this one. Hercules was kind of an exception to my typical "no period pieces/no Greek/roman stuff" rules #monsterdon
maybe dont go around announcing you're going to dethrone the king around a bunch of the kings men and whatnot #monsterdon
how come this dude is wearing a bag #monsterdon
dude you want to pick people based on how good of sailors they are not... whatever this is #monsterdon
the costume department is like "hmm what did ancient guys wear, probably like diapers and pillowcases" #monsterdon
what in the fuck is that. do not leave that animatronic snake babe on my ship #monsterdon
boat knowers of #monsterdon, is that sail what you'd be needing to go to the edge of the earth #monsterdon
just dessicate my ass on deck in my diaper #monsterdon
yeah see the risk of going around announcing that you're going to dethrone the king around the king's men is that you might actually be talking to the king himself
obviously when the giant statue comes alive and starts coming after you you just drop the god damn brooch pin and scram #monsterdon
of course! the giant statue is only held together by the diesel engine in its ankle!

well now that the statue is dead, waste not want not, go and get your ass equipped with giant anal beads and whatever else was in there. the gods probably smile upon that kind of shit #monsterdon
i looked away for five seconds and now a bunch of demons have baited a blind guy into an open field torment sesh with a plate of grapes #monsterdon
was greek mythology concerned with sin? i didn't think it had like a set of commandments or the concept of sin #monsterdon
SnoopJ@jonny we might charitably interpret the film's use of "sin" to mean defiance of the gods, but this is excessively charitable. just bad writing
@SnoopJ yeah that's what i thought, that like there wasn't the manichaean good v evil thing so much as like "playing the hand you're dealt and listening up when something more powerful than you comes around and tells you what to do" #monsterdon
@jonny it's hardly even an expressible concept in a belief system that *explicitly* has multiple gods whose motives directly oppose each other at times
best path to a definition in Ancient Greek terms would I think be "the opposite of virtue" and how "virtue" intersects with religious belief is an exercise for the reader in any given tale I guess
@SnoopJ definitely a belief system that has an easier time explaining why bad and random things happen in the world compared to "god: ??????"
