Greek mythology

If a film with Greek mythology as its motif can’t be made anything new, it is still based on the descriptions of the gods of Zeus, Athena, Poseidon and other bad street gods. Capsize in the gutter. Although there are some details, some subversions, some elements that are in line with modern fashion, and even some eye-popping highlights, the main storyline still cannot escape the shackles of traditional Greek mythology. No matter how the forces of good and evil change, changing the name still has to follow the old route of confrontation with cold weapons and violence. Since we can't get out of the rut, how can we change the theme of Greek mythology and turn corruption into magic? This is obviously the most tangled problem facing the director. In fact, the general audience does not care about gods and monsters, and their role is nothing more than vase decoration. It is the human beings themselves that drive the focus of the story.
