"Hey Zeus, sup. I brought you a lil man"
See, this level of pettiness is a much more proper depiction of Zeus. This movie gets what Zeus is all about
"I've never thrown a discus before, I'd like to see how it's done."
Well, uh, not like *that*
Mate I feel that finding the ship before the crew may have made more sense.

counterpoint: I love the gigantic animatronic head, I love that for the VFX department
✅ Technology Unlocked: BRONZE
"Set sail!"
I would ask why the sails were not already set, but of course I know that the answer is so that Jason can say "set sail!"
Yes, YES, give us the Harryhausen
"the treasure chamber of the gods"
[metal creaking fades into the distance]
Having Hera whisper almost all of her lines to Jason is… a choice.
Ah, the old ankle-dial trick
ah, RIP brains. we're gonna have to rely only on brawn from here on in
[ship-building montage continues]
Hercules won't leave without his boyfriend
"sin"
lol I do love it when milquetoast christian themes are crudely laid over Ancient Greek mythology
Score notes for percussion here just read "go nuts on xylophone"
Jason capturing the harpies before preparing wood with which to cage them
getting the sense Jason isn't a "planning" guy
"I know the sea god's moods. But… most of them are dangerous."
Okay that's tight, love that line
one of the more enjoyable "what the fuck is going on" scenes in recent memory
❌ Technology NOT unlocked: any interesting magical insta-healing plant
whoa, foot shot of the ram goddess
He said the thing!
They said the thing!
oh I LOVE the hydra POV panning shot, so cool
YES THE CLAYMATION DOLL YEESSSSSS
RIP hydra you were the best part of the movie by far
"the children… of the niiiight" line delivered with the same drama as "it's a faaaaaake"
10 minutes is not a ton of time to wrap things up, here, but we seem to be fully under way to a sudden ending
Okay but they were introduced to a random plant that also has the power to heal before, I do feel obligated to point that out
[sowing of hydra's teeth continues]
time for the skeleton war 
skellington said AAAAAAAA
I love the skellies so much they are my new favorite part of this movie
it's not like the VFX earlier in the movie weren't good but BY THE GODS the full power of Harryhausen et al. is something to behold
I now understand how this movie helped create an entire generation of VFX artists
This must have been such a thrill to see in 1963
