I wish someone would make a horribly ugly Medusa one day
They make all these ugly fat slob female characters now but Medusa is still aways pretty because she's inherently unconventional
I just want my historically accurate Medusa >That's autistic
I know
They're all snake women, the accurate Medusa/Gorgon's only snake features are her hair otherwise she's just a grisly looking woman with wings...possibly a beard.
Thor being a red head is like the only physical descriptor we have of him and Hades wasn't a nice God by any means but he was also more pragmatic than others.
The show was pretty comfy all around, feel like it's kind of forgotten nowadays. Had some great character designs, fun dialogue, and actually pretty clever takes on Greek myths.
>feel like it's kind of forgotten nowadays.
I think the big problem with movie to show series' for animated features is that they get overshadowed by the original work for obvious quality reasons as well as the stigma associated with the very nature of them (Disney's direct to VHS sequels not helping the matters)
A lack of reruns to cross audience generations also plays a key role
With that said, Hercules in specific kind of gets bogged by how it contradicts the film by having Hades be aware of Hercules' teenage years but once you get past that it's fun just to hear James Woods reprise him
I mean when the patron goddess of love is right in front of you what else are you gonna think of?
>Oh my type's kind of like... you... ish... >Not JUST like you of course, more... Cretan? Or Spartan, I guess?
So basically just me but-
>You but with brown hair, yes, give me that please >please >Please Aunt Aphrodite, I'm trying really hard to not be like my dad and you really aren't making it any easier
The DTV compilation episode mentioned that Icarus went into his dad's business selling wax wings for a living, while Cass joined the Oracle Friends Network.
>The Roman one that ends with Hades blowing his stack over the fact he's called Pluto over there >The Animal House/Trojan War episode >The Pygmalion episode >The Athens VS Sparta episode >The Aladdin crossover episode >The episode guest starring Megara
They had an outline for a Persephone episode based on Kramer VS Kramer where she was Hades' daughter with Demeter and Herc had to resolve their custody battle before Greece froze over, but the network turned it down.
>where she was Hades' daughter with Demeter and Herc had to resolve their custody battle before Greece froze over, but the network turned it down.
We were robbed
Is the script out there?
You know, it was never unclear if the petrification could be undone outside of Hades' spell or not
She still (unintentionally) turned people outside of Hercules to stone
She could've easily stayed human and THEN have someone else cure Hercules, otherwise she'd technically be a murderer
First issue releases on the 16th
Icarus is also mentioned in the solicits but it's likely doing its own thing and not consider the cartoon series and just the film
Ah, I see. Probably will get the first issue then. Heard the Scar one has its own take of said lion's backstory. Picked up the Maleficent one and liking her being a villainess as she was in the original movie. I wondered if the Hades will go one way or the other. Glad that it might just be the latter.
she should get her own series or something. I wonder if anyone who has a track record of producing hit shows has ever thought of doing something like that. It would be pretty cool to see a show with Medusa as the main character.
>A one-off character from an obscure, easily disregarded show based on an animated movie that contradicts a major plot point getting a spin-off
Dude I think she's adorable but you don't
She's not even Creepy Susie levels of disprorpotionaly popular either
Who did you think I was talking about when I said "I wonder if anyone who has a track record of producing hit shows has ever thought of doing something like that"? It's oddly specific, don't you think? Perhaps specific enough to make you ask what I might be talking about instead of accusing me of not finding her attractive which...I have no idea where the hell that came from.
because the whole thing's a play on how myths ain't real, which is why it looks like Vegas, sounds like megachurch radio, and has Hercules posing like a hollywood star.
Same reason that Aladdin and Emperor's New Groove look like Vegas, it's a hub for less serious but still lavish musical productions. Granted, ENG only really has the one Tom Jones song.
Depends, but Medusa ranges from Always a monster to overzelous punishment for consensual actions to innocent victim. I think the earliest instance of Medusa being mentioned in Theogeny just points out her and Poseidon banged but has no mention of it being rape or her not being a monstrous Gorgon at the time, also there's the debate of is it "Rape-She didn't want it" or "Rape-That wasn't your pussy to frick, Mr". Medusa was oath bound to Athena, meaning that she had no consent in what she did outside her duties. Every action was forfeit to the whims of her Goddess.
It's a little bit of both.
Sometimes it's just "we don't have an accurate source/translation so we did our best" and sometimes it's a "This is a purposefully divergent spin" like Medusa being transformed because rape is a Roman addition by Ovid.
It was much more "the powers that be are shallow c**ts who punish people who did nothing wrong and for honest mistakes....no I want say what that honest mistake was but I don't deserve to be exiled from Rome you stupid c**ts"
Back in that day Rape was just...a thing that happened. It was the obvious "mean" thing for somebody to do to somebody. It was treated like giving a wedgie or something.
>and sometimes it's a "This is a purposefully divergent spin" like Medusa being transformed because rape is a Roman addition by Ovid
I wish I could remember what old greek it was, but I believe in 200 or 300 BC, there was one man(a playwright, I believe) that spoke about the sad and unfair fates of Marsyas and Medusa, so the idea of a tragic Medusa likely predates Ovid, at least in folktales that might have since been lost.
Perhaps not in the form of Ovid's telling, though.
I wish I could find the source...

Harryhausen and God of War?

what a qt.
Source?
That awful Clash of the Titans remake.
It may be awful but it gave us Cute!Medusa so it gets a pass in my book.
OH EM GEE IS THAT A BIG MOUTH SCARY FACE! IT'S SO SCARY I'M LOSING MY MIND!
i'm losing my cum
I..I got a boner...
I want to have a long passionate gaze into her eyes.
>capcha DYHVG
Well? Do You?
>historically accurate
>medusa
He meant accurate to the source material the same way Thor's hair isn't actually blonde or how Hades is nowhere near the douche he's usually portrayed

It was basically lost media until the randomly put it on D+.
>It was basically lost media
Didn't we have individual recordings of the entire series even if it wasn't given a proper home video release?
A couple of them were lost and most of them had godawful quality so it was the same thing really.
Are we going back to the Medusa/Perseus romance thing?
no landboats
Glad to see my autism is infectious. Did I miss a thread?
I don't think there's been any threads since the ones weeks back.
> Are we going back to the Medusa/Perseus romance thing?
I hope so. I love pure and wholesome monster romance.
i dont
>Medusa/Perseus romance thing
What'd I miss? Are there archives?

Pretty much

>Don’t tempt me.

Oh hey it's Lisa Kudrow, neat.
Huh, no wonder that voice sounded familiar
>Dan Castellanetta as Homer
Boy, that probably took them a tenth of a second to think up.
>Ru Paul as Rock Guardian
What? Not Hermphroditeor atleast Tiresias
>Merv Griffin as Merv Griffin
>literally plays a Griffin named Merv
Those hilarious bastards.
That’s hilarious
Pretty sure Garfield & Friends did that joke first in a U.S. Acres short.
US Acres is best forgotten.
>Heracles subtly hitting on his great-aunt
Hot
They’re Olympians, it’s not really that big of a deal for them.
Honestly the inbreeding would explain a lot
And Meg finding out about it later.
>You made a woman out of clay?
>I was a teenage boy.
I wish we actually saw Hercules' pals show up in that episode in person
Did we ever find out what happened to Cass and the rest?
The DTV compilation episode mentioned that Icarus went into his dad's business selling wax wings for a living, while Cass joined the Oracle Friends Network.
Huh I don't remember that.
It's a quick comment by Phil IIRC
Disney Animation Australia animated this episode and bravo you horny Aussies.
>likes them tall and curvy
My pal
Hercules TV series was based
I SAID CURVIER b***h
>takes Labrys
I'LL MAKE MY STEPMOTHER FINALLY PROUD OF ME
AHHHHHHHH
milk.
>Aphrodite, Aphrodite, Aphrodite... THE GODDESS OF LOVE!
That gag of everybody hating her intro jingle never got old.
It’s a good thing her big fat goddess breasts make up for it.
>tall
>curvy
Herc's a man of taste
I know she was probably meant to be a one-off anyways but had she not been in the second to last episode I would've loved to see more of her
>tfw no barefoot goth gf
Now we're getting somewhere.
>Hercules and the complex Electra
Is that the actual title? It's a strange reference to make in a kids' show.

Is the script out there?
Don't think so, one of the staff just mentioned that they had the idea and the suits said no so it never went past an idea.
>The Pygmalion episode
Galatea being Annie Wilkes from Misery mixed with the T-1000 was kino.
>What kind of a name is Pluto?! I wouldn't name my dog Pluto!
kek
Man, Lauren Faust never got to make her Medusa movie.
Could have been kino.
WHAT EPISODE
Hercules and the Gorgon
You know, it was never unclear if the petrification could be undone outside of Hades' spell or not
She still (unintentionally) turned people outside of Hercules to stone
She could've easily stayed human and THEN have someone else cure Hercules, otherwise she'd technically be a murderer
>This is a 10/10 among Greek women
I just realized he's ugly bastard material
You think he can cuck Hercules out of Meg?
Has anyone checked out the Hades Disney Villain comic? Saw that there's Medusa on one of the comic variants.

*you don't understand
what the frick are you talking about?
I was referencing the Lauren Faust Medusa show you spaz.
You should've specified
This thread's about the Hercules version
Who did you think I was talking about when I said "I wonder if anyone who has a track record of producing hit shows has ever thought of doing something like that"? It's oddly specific, don't you think? Perhaps specific enough to make you ask what I might be talking about instead of accusing me of not finding her attractive which...I have no idea where the hell that came from.
Snake ponytail Medusa in the Hades comic is kind of hot though.
Attractive but for now I still think the show version is cuter
I wonder if the had to train the snakes to stay in a ponytail with treats.
Oh BABY
So after their date why do you think they broke up?
Why does it look like Vegas?
The fact that review came out several years before the Wall review and he never said WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE PINK FLOYD'S THE WALL makes me sad.
Because it's fun
because the whole thing's a play on how myths ain't real, which is why it looks like Vegas, sounds like megachurch radio, and has Hercules posing like a hollywood star.
Same reason that Aladdin and Emperor's New Groove look like Vegas, it's a hub for less serious but still lavish musical productions. Granted, ENG only really has the one Tom Jones song.

It's hilarious that he also missed the "greek choir" joke about the muses singing the story in gospel
Reminder that Medusa was actually a victim.
Her story is pretty tragic. Greek gods were kinda buttholes.
Depends, but Medusa ranges from Always a monster to overzelous punishment for consensual actions to innocent victim. I think the earliest instance of Medusa being mentioned in Theogeny just points out her and Poseidon banged but has no mention of it being rape or her not being a monstrous Gorgon at the time, also there's the debate of is it "Rape-She didn't want it" or "Rape-That wasn't your pussy to frick, Mr". Medusa was oath bound to Athena, meaning that she had no consent in what she did outside her duties. Every action was forfeit to the whims of her Goddess.
Yeah it depends on the lore. It's funny how even greek myths are subject to rewrites from later writers. They really are Cinemaphile.
Aren't the "retcons" more from telephone rather than changing social views?
It's a little bit of both.
Sometimes it's just "we don't have an accurate source/translation so we did our best" and sometimes it's a "This is a purposefully divergent spin" like Medusa being transformed because rape is a Roman addition by Ovid.
What the frick did Ovid have against rape victims?
It was much more "the powers that be are shallow c**ts who punish people who did nothing wrong and for honest mistakes....no I want say what that honest mistake was but I don't deserve to be exiled from Rome you stupid c**ts"
Back in that day Rape was just...a thing that happened. It was the obvious "mean" thing for somebody to do to somebody. It was treated like giving a wedgie or something.
It was anti-authoritarian literature made because he really fricking hated Augustus. He even fricked Augustus daughter out of spite.
Any other examples of deliberate retcons?
Beyond general putting Christian elements into Pagan myth because they're mostly oral traditions collected by Christians, nothing comes to mind.
>and sometimes it's a "This is a purposefully divergent spin" like Medusa being transformed because rape is a Roman addition by Ovid

>Snake pubes
How bloody does it get when she shaves?
Imagine them covering your face in little snake kisses while you're eating her out, or ever so gently nipping at your balls while you're fricking her.
Imagine them confusing your trouser snake with an actual snake and yelling racial slurs at it for not being green
>Shaves
It's Greece, does her crotch look like the face of an Athenian youth who needs to impress his mentor?
Wippy
Does she shed her skin?
It would be extremely painful.
Must be hard to bathe when you’re a good 20 feet long.
Don’t worry, Perseus will help!
Heh
>all the snakes have bows on
Cute. Must be a real pain to do them every morning.
Yeah, she's making me rock hard.
Carlos!
