Yeah that's what kills me, least favorite guy from the Illiad But it'll be kinda based if he was given the chance to choose who's the most beautiful among Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite, Paris instead choose Eris.
>it'll be kinda based if he was given the chance to choose who's the most beautiful among Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite, Paris instead choose Eris.
But the goddesses represent ideas. Eris is discord. He'd be literally saying what he wants out of life is chaos. He'd be actually asking for the war as something he wants to happen.
So there's this guy, Cinyras, who has a daughter and like any good dad he thinks his daughter is the most precious and wonderful thing in the world. Unfortunately he fricks up and says "my daughter Myrrha is the most wonderful most beautiful girl in the world" and Aphrodite overhears this and gets super pissed off. So she curses Myrrha to have an overwhelmingly powerful lust for her own father.
Myrrha decides to seduce her dad one day when her mom is out of town and naturally starts fricking him, as one would. Cinyras isn't down the whole having plowed his own kid thing, so he grabs a sword and chases her out of the house.
After nine months on the run, Myrrha prays to the gods for help, so the gods turn her into a tree. And then, as a tree she gives birth to a son.
You may have heard of him. His name is Adonis.
Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Zeus and Demeter are brother and sister. Persephone then gets with Hades, Zeus brother. Persephone and Hades have a daughter, named Melinoë.
Try drawing that family tree out.
Him being ugly as frick is literally the reason for a lot of what happens to him and all that stuff, but I also appreciate the attempt at doing it differently. That said, only pre-teens and morons could care about a school series starring greek gods, what a boring concept, and those designs promise you safe, dull stories.
Are they going to get canon with the lore or are they going to Disney-fy it where Aphrodite regrets fricking Ares and Hephaestus forgives her or something?
It's almost like Bizarro World Greek mythology. Ares cheats on Aphrodite, so they break up. Then she meets and finds true love with Hephaestus. Basically the exact reverse of what happened in the myths.
Most of the Greek gods/goddess' had 'ignore mortals' days and then there was 'Oh no you didn't' days.
Athena was more of the second.
I know. Arachne was fricked up enough but how do you curse someone for getting raped?
I like that when Athena actually fights in the Iliad, she isn't some smart fighter like you'd expect, she just grabs a giant rock and goes Hulk Smash on Ares.
Also chases down Afrodite and punches her in the stomach like a barbarian. The funniest part about the god fight in the Iliad is still Hera clowning on Artemis so bad she runs straight home to daddy crying
[...]
The Aulos curse is another neat moment of Athena's. >Invents instrument >Hates it because it makes her look silly/ugly when she plays >Throws it away and curses anyone who plays it to die a horrible slow death
The one who picks it up is Marsyas, who then gets into his famous music contest against Apollo.
>This is the face that fricked over Arachne >This is the face that fricked over Medusa >This is the face that protected her Champion, Odysseus, and intervened before Odysseus could murder more people.
He was a smart, scheming butthole of a general in an army full of red-blooded and honestly quite stupid warriors. She empathized with him(being a goddess of battle strategy and quite an butthole herself).
Her actual favorite was Diomedes though.

FRICK Athena. What she did to Medusa was uncalled for.

I thought it was cute, defiantly WAY off for how all of them actually acted, I know lore wise they aren't going to do a 1 for 1 but this form of aphrodite was batshit and vapid.
Only other gripe is I hate whenever women character designers give a woman impossibly long hair to a character to convey she's gorgeous but the rest of the character is bland at best and not much thought was put into it. Even for her outfit its kinda mediocre for goddess known for her beauty. Just seems like they are going the monster high route of everyone looking samey which is fine but if that's the cause you should go ham with outfits,makeup, etc.
I feel it lacking something, not sure what exactly.
Sphinx is hot though
rape
it's lacking rape
Shouldn't Hepaesthus be deformed and ugly?
Well he is limp and dont have model haircut, thats basically same.
>I feel it lacking something, not sure what exactly.
not just ugly, deformed
Making Eris an MC is an interesting perspective.
>Paris of Troy is there
Yeah that's what kills me, least favorite guy from the Illiad But it'll be kinda based if he was given the chance to choose who's the most beautiful among Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite, Paris instead choose Eris.

That actually sounds like a pretty Paris move
The canonical Paris just wanted to get his dick hard.
Could have fricked one of his sheep then, the butthole.
Thats right Haephaetus frick your aunt.
Not the weirdest incestual relationship in the pantheon.
which one will be the weirdest?

Also depending on which take on the myth you go with, Melinoë was actually fathered by Zeus disguised as Hades.
I love that Eris.
Skipped a generation. Zeus and Demeter's parents Chronos and Rhea were also brother and sister.
I've never heard of it, but I give them points for not going the route most people seem to pick and making Hephastus basically a LotR dwarf.
Him being ugly as frick is literally the reason for a lot of what happens to him and all that stuff, but I also appreciate the attempt at doing it differently. That said, only pre-teens and morons could care about a school series starring greek gods, what a boring concept, and those designs promise you safe, dull stories.
Oh sure, I don't like the design in general and I don't think it's a good match for the character, I'm just tired of blacksmith=dwarf designs.
Are they going to get canon with the lore or are they going to Disney-fy it where Aphrodite regrets fricking Ares and Hephaestus forgives her or something?
>canon

Overall Ares was a decent lover/dad compared to the other buttholes in his gamily. Guy gets a bad rap just because he liked slaughtering folk.
they might go the Disney route where they are just happily married with none of the other shit like they did in the Hercules tv show and movie
If there ain't one incest joke this show is DOA.
Presenting to everyone, the two people who started the Trojan War.
Second hottest animated Eris.
Paris looks like a wonky Kuzco.
Reminder that the God of War and Love got BTFO'd by the chad human mortal Diomedes (Yeah he got help by Athena, but still a chad).
Is Athena the OG mommy dommy gf fantasy?
FRICK Athena. What she did to Medusa was uncalled for.

>This is the face that fricked over Arachne

Odysseus is one lucky boy.
What did he have that the other Greeks didn't?
"As cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?"
He was a smart, scheming butthole of a general in an army full of red-blooded and honestly quite stupid warriors. She empathized with him(being a goddess of battle strategy and quite an butthole herself).
Her actual favorite was Diomedes though.
That version of the Medusa story is just Roman political propaganda. It's not folklore or mythology of any kind.

Dude also lived in a giant jar and screwed with philsophers
That's Diogenes
Weird audio mixing
Will there be gods from other myths?
Which show name?
I think it's a boring concept
This shit finally came out? wasn't it about Medusa and the Sphinx first or was that another series?
I thought it was cute, defiantly WAY off for how all of them actually acted, I know lore wise they aren't going to do a 1 for 1 but this form of aphrodite was batshit and vapid.

Decent visuals, but not enough to carry lame plot and dialogue
why are her feet so poorly drawn dammit
It's a one man team I guess
I don't appreciate Hephaestus' depiction as a sympathetic non-Asperger.
How will Paris frick this up, anons? We know he's gunna frick major in the future that started the Trojan War.
Just how will he frick up with Eris.
