In the movie, Zeus said that the gods will gradually lose their powers if there is no prayer, but according to Greek mythology, Zeus created the golden age, the silver age, the bronze age, the demigod heroes and the people of the iron age. So, did God create man or did man create God? I personally think there are two ways of thinking about this question. As far as atheism is concerned, it is man who created God. In ancient times, when science and technology were not developed, humans could not give a reasonable explanation for their existence, so they created "gods" to satisfy their desire for knowledge, and placed themselves on gods. wishes and pursuits. In Greek mythology, of course, God created man. The argument in the movie "The Wrath of the Gods" that without human prayers, the gods will gradually lose their divine power is not an adaptation of the original Greek mythology: if the movie claims that man created gods and gods depend on man's prayers, then the keynote is that gods created man. The whole system of Greek mythology collapsed, and the film could not start the plot based on it. If the movie claims that God created man, then according to the movie, God is living off the creatures he created, which is also illogical. In Greek mythology, the gods lived well whether humans prayed or not. To sum up, it is said that artificial gods are atheists, and that God created humans is Greek mythology. The movie "Wrath of the Gods" is based on Greek mythology, but it is not adapted properly - or because of the needs of the plot. And deliberately adapted - leading to the loophole of God's dependence on human prayer.
In the movie, Zeus and Poseidon, the sea god, are both dead, but the gods living on the bright Olympus are immortal. Is this a subversion of the myth? With the foreshadowing of the question above, this question is much easier to answer, which I personally think is another mistake made by the film adaptation. In Greek mythology, the 12 main gods of Olympus cannot be killed. Although the lower-level gods will die, the 12 main gods are immortal, and the dead Zeus, Poseidon and the god of war in the movie Reese is the main god. Since "Rage of the Gods" is an adaptation of Greek mythology and a product of attachment to mythology, the death of the main god is not a subversion of mythology but a disloyalty to the mythological prototype.
Finally, as a demigod, is Perseus afraid of fire or not? At the beginning of the movie, when Perseus fought the two-headed dog of hell, Perseus used a wooden board to block the flames sprayed by the monster, which shows that he is afraid of fire, but when Perseus and Cronus fought in the back , he rode a Pegasus with a spear and rushed into the latter's flaming body without any fear. I think that both the demigod Perseus and the main gods Zeus and Hades are afraid of fire (there is a picture of Zeus creating a barrier for Hades to block the flame attack of Cronus), Pearl The transformation of Hughes is in the heart. Before the battle, Zeus asked Perseus how he thought he had saved him from Tartarus, Perseus replied that he never stopped thinking about returning to his son, Zeus called Pearl Hughes used this belief to fight for his son. I think this is the key to Perseus' transformation. Physically, he is afraid of fire, but he has a strong belief support that allows him to charge forward without fear of fire.
