!! Clash of the Titans (1981)
[[AC:FridgeLogic]]
* During the 3 witches scene, one of the hags mentions Perseus' "Red Cloak". Up to this moment in the film, Perseus is not seen with a red cloak. Indeed, it is quite a bit later before we see the red cloak.
** They ''can'' see the future.
!! Clash of the Titans (2010)

* Of ''course'' Perseus will die at the end of his journey. He's a mortal man, and that's end of ''every'' mortal man's journey. Just give it a couple of decades...
* The three hags' recommendation that Perseus use Medusa's gaze to defeat the Kraken has a secondary advantage that's not as obvious in the first film, when he and they weren't quite as hostile to one another. Because they're blind, the hags are immune to Medusa's gaze themselves, so if Perseus bears a grudge against them for trying to sacrifice one of his men, he can't turn it against ''them'' like he could, any other weapon they might have suggested.
* The snakes on Medusa's head keep writhing and hissing after she's decapitated, which explains how Perseus was able to safely ''find'' the darned thing after killing her: he closed his eyes and listened.
* Why does the Kraken kill quite a few people before Perseus flies in and turns it to stone? Because Andromeda was not initially tied up to be sacrificed. Its orders were to destroy everything ''until'' Andromeda was fed to it.
!! Wrath of the Titans (2012)

* This movie actually explains [[EverybodyHatesHades Hades' evil portrayal]] in the previous film rather well. We already know from the first film that Hades was tricked by Zeus to rule the Underworld (right after his creation defeated the original Titans, to add insult to the injury), and that he had to feed on humanity's fear of him while the other gods basked in their love. However, in this film we also know gods, even fallen ones, ''have'' to be close to the sky (Agenor mentions it as they look for Hephaestus; and indeed he lives in a mountain cave), and according to Hephaestus Hades was originally the reasonable one and Zeus was [[JerkassGods a total prick]], implying Hades was cast out unfairly much like himself. So, [[DudeWheresMyRespect after winnig the war for the gods]], Hades was tricked [[AndIMustScream to endure centuries living the farthest away from his natural place, surviving on nothing but humanity's fear of him]], most likely as punishment for opposing Zeus on some matter, while [[KarmaHoudini his tormentor lives in the sky and feasts on humanity's love]]? [[FaceHeelTurn No wonder]] [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds he decided]] [[ThenLetMeBeEvil to go bad]].

* You know the gentle helpful Athena who gave Perseus his awesome helmet of invisibility and refused to just hand over her best friend Bubo the Owl? Yeah, she the same god who ''caught'' Medusa being raped by Poseidon in one of her temples and took her anger out on ''[[WhatTheHellHero the victim]]'' by transforming Medusa into a monster so terrible to behold that the mere sight of her would turn onlookers to stone.
