What is aceptable to you?

[batosai]

so i am sure anyone that has known me for any length of time is probably sick of hearing me rant about sequels and remakes, even those that agree with me. But one in particular has really been pushing my buttons of late

Comments

I would just like to say

[batosai]

or Disney's Hercules?
where Zues and Hera are a happy couple and not related?
where roman numerals are used in greece?
where gospel music is sung in greece?
where Perseus loses his winged horse to another story?
where the name should be Herecles (the greek name for the roman story Hercules)?
does this get credit?

oh, and how would you answer those six questions?

[thefreak]

Your argument is nullified the moment you said "Disney." To expect them NOT to pervert whatever their subject matter is would be foolish.

[batosai]

adapt, i am fine with that
but to piss all over it

i can deal with the mermaid living...
but if pinnochio were a frog trying to become a real boy, i might have to work on my sniper skills

[thefreak]

Pinocchio was about as bastardized as Hercules, really. Where's the bloodshed!?!

[batosai]

not even.
removing bloodshed to make a story palatable for children is not the same as taking a bunch of things that have no business being in the same movie and push Frappe on the blender/scriptwriter

Kraken in Clash of the Titans, for example?

[batosai]

Kraken is an appropriate term for the beast, though you are correct, it is a Norse word.

and i know that in actual mythos, Bellerophon actually tamed Pegasus. but it was artists on the renaissance who attributed it to Perseus, not the movie makers.

so, a Norse name inserted and a connection based on previous art are not on par with making Zeus and Hera a loving couple, at least to me...

[sabah]

I forgive Clash of the Titans for all of its sins.

It crossed over that line that takes it from unbearably bad all the way back to unbearably awesome.

[sabah]

I didn't see that movie.

But, essentially, yes! THAT!
