History Film / ClashOfTheTitans2010

* DarkerAndEdgier: To the point of only giving Bubo the mechanical owl a cameo (probably as they thought it would be too much of a JokeCharacter). Pretty-boy Perseus in the white toga is replaced with buzzcut grim Perseus in even more anachronistic medieval leather armor; Bubo is briefly shown then as quickly cast aside; most of the winged horses are white but the Pegasus Perseus tames is jet black; and the toga-wearing Olympian thespians now wear late medieval plate armor. Of course, as the original was Extremely Cheesy, the remake has only been bumped down to Quite Cheesy.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Io always looks considerably better groomed than the rest of the men, who are all grubby and sweaty after the fight with the scorpions. Granted she's not involved in the fighting as the others are, but she still looks very good for someone travelling in the wild for a week.

** The two monster hunters appearing in the same scene on one of the scorpions to defend Perseus from some of the harpies.

* HomeGuard: The DwindlingParty of soldiers assigned to help Perseus in his mission are from an Honor Guard, distinguished soldiers too old to fight on the front lines or young inexperienced soldiers who look good on display. They are all he gets because the rest of the Argosian army had recently been wiped out after picking a fight with Zeus and Hades.

* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Almost every secondary character dies over the course of the movie but the death of the DistressedDamsel is a much bigger deal to Perseus; later Zeus brings her back to life, but everyone else stays dead.

* TruerToTheText: Extremely small, but rather than dying during Perseus' infancy at Zeus' hand, Acrisius lives into Perseus' adulthood and is killed by Perseus, albeit in battle rather than accidentally like in the original myth.

%%* ActionGirl: Io.

%%* DarkIsEvil: Hades.

%%* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Hello, Olympus!

* HalfHumanHybrid:
** Perseus is the son of a god and a human woman.
%%** Io.

%%* MadeOfExplodium: [[spoiler:The Djinn Sheik Suleiman, serving as a HeroicSacrifice to distract Medusa.]]

%%* MagicSkirt: Io's dress follows the trope during the scorpion battle.

%%* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: The Kraken.

%%* NayTheist: Many characters.

%%* OlderThanTheyLook: Io.

%%* OrganicBra: Medusa.

%%* SerialEscalation: Just how much bigger can the Kraken get?
%%* ShiningCity: Argos (somewhat). Olympus takes it up to eleven.

%%* SnakePeople: Medusa.

%%* TakenForGranite: Medusa's victims

''Clash of the Titans'' is a 2010 [[EpicMovie Epic]] {{Fantasy}} {{Action|Genre}} {{Adventure}} film with some passing resemblance to the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek myth of Perseus]]. It is a remake of ''Film/ClashOfTheTitans1981'', and like that film contains no actual Titans.

* DeathFromAbove: when the Kraken is finally turned to stone in the climax, the danger doesn't end right away--because the effects of gravity, it immediately breaks into pieces and wrecks more of Argos, crushing people and buildings and creating a huge wave when the bulk of it hits the water.

* PlotHole: The entire plot of the movie hinges on internal contradictions.

%%* {{Kaiju}}: The Kraken.

%%* LightIsNotGood: The Gods wear really, really shiny armor.
%%* LiterallyShatteredLives: Medusa does this to her victims.

** There was only one Pegasus, not a herd, who sprang forth from Medusa's neck after she was killed. (Indeed, "Pegasus" actually means "he who sprang".) Pegasus was also not ridden by Perseus, but an unrelated hero named Bellerophon.

** Perseus was Acrisius' grandson, not his son.
** Zeus impregnated Acrisius' daughter by appearing as a shower of golden light, not as her husband. She was never married, due to this wacky prophecy about her son being the one who kills Acrisius (some versions make the murder intentional, others account his death by Perseus pulling out Medusa's head at a dinner party. It makes sense in context). Coincidentally, Hercules (aka Heracles) was the one created by Zeus masquerading as some woman's husband... Still another holds that Perseus entered a discus competition and his discus went astray and killed a spectator, Acrisius.

* OffModel: There's a scene where one of the Rock Scorpions is missing part of its tail.

* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Almost every secondary character dies over the course of the movie but the death of TheChick is a much bigger deal to Perseus; later Zeus brings her back to life, but everyone else stays dead.

Creator/SamWorthington plays the role of Perseus, the demigod son of Zeus (played by Creator/LiamNeeson), who is unaware of his godly heritage. When the mortals foolishly insight the wrath of the gods by comparing Andromeda to them, Hades shows up and gives them the ultimatum of sacrificing Andromeda or being destroyed by the Kraken.

Perseus is must forced to go on an adventure with his allies to find a way to save Andromeda ''and'' stop the Kraken.

* TheArtifact: As Andromeda isn't Perseus's love interest any more, there's very little reason for her to appear -- other than to be sacrificed to the Kraken. Likewise Calibos has very little reason to appear, as he's not Perseus's romantic rival -- nor is Thetis an antagonist in the story.

* AdaptationalBadass:
** Medusa not only retains her archery skills from the original movie, but she now also adds SuperStrength and StealthExpert to her assets, is able to strangle people like a boa snake, and keeps fighting '''''after her head is cut off!''''' And now her arrows hit with enough force to chip marble and a glancing hit caused Perseus to be BlownAcrossTheRoom into two of his teammates and knocking them away as well.

* AbusiveParents: Kronos is easily one of the oldest examples in history/mythology - he ''ate'' his children (Hades and Poseidon among others) out of fear of getting dethroned by them if they grew up. No wonder the later Greek pantheon is not overly fond of him.
* ActorAllusion:
** Not only does Hephasteus sound a bit like [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Davy Jones]], but has the scraggly beard from human!Jones and even says "release the kraken" at one point (in reference to the first film).
** At the end, Zeus is basically using [[Film/ThePhantomMenace the Force]] on the Makhai [[spoiler:and Force Lightning against Kronos!]]
* AintTooProudToBeg: Andromeda's friend Korrina begs Ares for their lives. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, he doesn't care and callously stabs her]].
* AlienBlood:
** When a Makhai is killed, it bleeds lava.
** When Perseus jumps the Chimera and stabs its neck, a puff of glowing smoke comes out instead of blood.
* AntagonisticOffspring: Ares to Zeus, Zeus and Hades to Kronos. For that matter, Perseus still isn't all that thrilled with his dad.
* AnyoneCanDie: The gods ''can'' be killed. And some ''are.''
* AscendedExtra: Given Andromeda spent the remake being DemotedToExtra, seems like she's back in her place.
* BashBrothers: Zeus and Hades at full power. Bonus points for them being [[SiblingTeam actual brothers]].
* BigBadDuumvirate: Hades and Ares.
* BodyHorror: There's the Chimera, a two-headed monster with no skin on its faces and a sentient tail. A minotaur with a deformed face. [[ConjoinedTwins Makhai]] warriors with two bodies joined at the waist. And Kronos, who is a massive titan made of molten magma with fists the size of a village.
* BreathWeapon: The Chimera can breathe fire, with the horned, rhino-like head vomiting gasoline-like fluid that the fanged, ape-like head ignites with hot embers.
* BrokenAesop: Same as the first movie, it makes a point of "humanity doesn't need gods". The operative issue here is that gods and demigods are, literally speaking, sacrificing themselves in droves to protect mankind and the only thing standing between mankind and utter annihilation.
* CainAndAbel: Ares is Cain to Perseus's Abel.
* TheCameo: Bubo the mechanical owl reappears as a prop in Hephaestus's home.
* CarryABigStick: Ares uses a large mace as one of his weapons.
* CastingGag: Yet another Bond Girl joins the cast, this time Rosamund Pike from ''Film/DieAnotherDay''.
* CessationOfExistence: Apparently what happens to the gods when they die. Fear of this is what motivates Hades to side with Kronos rather than fight him.
* CombatPragmatist: Perseus has no problems fighting dirty to win. Considering the stakes and who he was fighting, he had to.
* ClassicalChimera: The first monster Perseus faces in the movie, is a demonic-looking chimera. Changes of note, include the heads neither resembling a lion or a goat and the fire breath needing both heads to work. One head spitting out a flammable liquid, with the other one igniting it, resulting in a giant explosion.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}:
** Hephaestus has been alone for so long he talks to a broken mechanical owl (Bubo from the original) as if it were alive and intelligible. Andromeda manages to talk him down with a WhoopiEpiphanySpeech.
** Agenor's speech and mannerisms are also rather loony.
* ComesGreatResponsibility: Uttered almost verbatim in one of the dialogues.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: Kronos is a mountain-sized man made of molten rock that apparently does not give off any heat. Notably, in the climax Perseus [[spoiler:flies Pegasus down his throat]] and gets slightly singed for his trouble.
%%* CrucifiedHeroShot: The chained Zeus.
* CurbStompBattle: Perseus versus Ares, which is kind of understandable when you're a (relatively) regular demigod fighting the ''god of war himself.'' Heck, Ares ''vs anyone'' is basically this.
%%** Zeus and Hades deliver this to the Makhai while they are delivering one to the Greek army.
%%** Kronos then delivers one to them.
%%** Perseus delivers one to the Minotaur.
* CurbStompCushion: The Greek army, despite being outmatched by Kronos's Makhai, manage to take down a good number of them.
* {{Cyclops}}: The group encounters a trio of them in the film.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: When Ares tries to kill Perseus, the latter's son, Helius, briefly challenges Ares, buying his father time. From the look on Ares face, [[VillainRespect he was impressed]] by the boy's bravery.
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Zeus was dying from his injuries, then Hades appears and resurrects him. But perhaps a subversion, since he shortly dies anyway.]]
* TheDragon: Ares serves as Hades's dragon [[spoiler:until he defects]].
* DungeonBypass: Hephaestus creates one[[spoiler:, while he builds the [[TheAlcatraz Tartarus]], since he built it from the outside to the inside and needed an exit for himself]].
* DynamicEntry: Ares uses one, leaping from another location in the world to the front door of the Labyrinth, using the impact from his landing to knock everyone present into the ground with a shockwave.
%%* EldritchAbomination: Kronos.
* EndOfAnAge: The era of gods ruling over the universe and human destinies is quickly coming to an end.
* EverybodyHatesHades: Played straight at first, then [[spoiler: [[Main/SubvertedTrope subverted]] in the second half of the film when he makes amends with Zeus, finally putting EverybodyHatesHades to rest,]] though he's much more sympathetic here than in the prior film, [[spoiler: {{Main/Foreshadowing}} his eventual [[Main/HeelFaceTurn Heel Face Turn]]]].
* FaceHeelTurn: Ares betrays Zeus and sides with Hades. For certain values of "Face" anyway. Being the god of war, he was always kind of a dick.
* FantasyForbiddingFather: Mild case; Perseus discourages his son from dreaming about becoming a god. Considering the [[JerkassGods kinds of personalities]] the gods have, he's not entirely without reason.
* FauxActionGirl: Andromeda may lead an army now, but she loses every fight she gets into (except while teaming up against a Makhai with two of her soldiers). She's much more competent as a strategist than as an actual warrior.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Ares is speaking very softly and in a kind tone to Helius, all the while making him watch his father receive a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
* ForcedToWatch: Helius is forced to watch his father receive a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. Ares actually invoked this trope.
* ForTheEvulz: Ares involves Helius as mentioned above for no other reason than this.
* FirstGirlWins: Technically speaking, Andromeda. Whilst Io had apparently been watching Perseus his entire life, she neglected to introduce herself to him until after he'd already met Andromeda. At the end of ''Wrath'', the two apparently begin a relationship (it's implied because of standing Hollywood expectations, but all that actually happens is he grabs her and pulls her in for a surprise kiss when she's talking about battle strategy and there hasn't been a hint of romance between them).
* GeniusCripple: Hephaestus.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Zeus mentions that prayer is the only thing that keeps the gods immortal towards the beginning of the film.
* {{Gotterdammerung}}: The gods are dying out, but most of them aren't going without a fight.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Kronos.
* GutturalGrowler: Kronos speaks in an incredibly deep voice, as befits a mythical creature from the advent of time that's half a kilometer tall.
* AHeadAtEachEnd: The Chimera's snake-headed tail.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Hades realizes that there's good left in him and saves his brother's life.]]
* HeroicSacrifice:
** [[spoiler:Hephaestus makes one.]]
** [[spoiler:Zeus as well.]]
* HijackedByJesus:
** The party is detected by Ares because Korrina idiotically prays to him, even although Ares is officially their enemy now. Her justification? That they are supposed to ''pray for their enemies''. Needlessly to say, this custom belongs to Christianity and would have been outlandish for ancient Greek polytheists.
** Continuing the trend to make Hades a pagan Satan, his weapon here is a pitchfork to torment dead.
** Kronos is literally a living Hell, with a lot of fire and brimstone.
* TheHighQueen: Andromeda.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
** The chimera in the first battle. Perseus impales the fuel head which causes it to continuously spew out flammable fluid on itself and the ground, then goads the ignition head into lighting it.
** Ares brings Perseus's son Helius to the temple he and Perseus were fighting so that the boy could watch him beat Perseus to death. Near the end of battle, Helius distracts Ares for some precious few seconds which Perseus uses to recover, snatch some weapons from Ares's belt and stab him to death with them.
* HoistHeroOverHead: Ares does this to one of Andromeda's soldiers with one hand before throwing him far away.
* HollywoodTactics: Exactly how fire is supposed to stop the burning LegionsOfHell or how a phalanx is going to stop a [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever five-hundred-meters molten deity]] is left unclear. At the same time it's likely they were hoping that Perseus would be able to defeat Kronos while the Greek army held off the monsters. They did passably well against the Makhai, managing to kill multiple ones.
* HybridMonster: Instead of having a lion head and a goat head, the Chimera has one head resembling a manticore-gorilla and the other one like a deformed rhinoceros.
* ImmortalBreaker: Zeus's thunderbolt is capable of killing lower gods and similar lesser immortals. The Spear of Triam, however, is capable of killing anything, including Kronos.
* ImmortalsFearDeath: Hades and Ares join Kronos on the condition they keep their immortality. Gods [[CessationOfExistence cease to exist upon death]] and that thought terrifies them.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice:
** Ares does this to Andromeda's female friend.
** While fighting the Greek army in the climax the Makhai are both on the delivering and receiving end.
** [[spoiler:Perseus does this multiple times near the climax to kill Ares.]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Despite having a change of heart by siding with Zeus, ultimately forgiving him, and helping to combat their insane father, Hades is still unpunished for the deaths of Perseus's family and thousands of other people. Sure he lost his immortality, but he seems quite alright with his situation.]]
* KilledOffForReal: Many of the gods.
* KillItWithFire: The Chimera. Sort of a ChekhovsGun noting on how much they focus on the dual-fire system that was backfired on it.
* LadyOfWar: Andromeda, although more as a strategist considering she loses every physical fight she engages in.
* LargeHam: Hephaestus may not last long but Creator/BillNighy makes good use of his screen time.
* LastOfHisKind: By the end of the film, there's only one real god left, and even he is no longer immortal.
* LightningBruiser: The Cyclops move at the proportionate speed of humans despite being over forty feet tall. The Makhai are even faster.
* TheLoad: Andromeda. Perseus and Agenor do all the work. She loses every fight she gets into and Perseus has to rescue her at least three times. The only thing close to helpful that she does is charm Hephaestus into helping them.
* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler: Hades of all people.]]
* MadeOfIron:
** Compared to the first movie, Perseus takes ''a lot'' of punishment, and it shows on his body, yet it's still much more than a normal human would be able to take -- [[JustifiedTrope he's a demigod after all]].
** Agenor himself also displays demigod levels of MadeOfIron, considering He took a full-force blow from Ares' warhammer with Poseidon's trident not exactly providing the best shield in that situation. He was struck with enough force to knock him into a pillar, which exploded and collapsed upon impact. Despite this, he still managed to walk it off. Hades and Ares fall hundreds of feet and shake it off, especially Ares who is completely unharmed
* MagmaMan: Kronos could be the poster boy of this trope.
* MissingMom: Io is dead by the time the events of the sequel take place and is Helius's mother. It never really is properly explained what happened to her.
* MobileMaze: The Labyrinth.
* MortalityEnsues: The [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly level of prayers to the gods]] has dwindled so much that the gods have lost their immortality and many have died before the movie even started. The gods who are left still have their powers, but they are fading and they are vulnerable to being killed.
* MortalityPhobia: Hades admits he's helping Kronos because he's afraid to lose his immortality because unlike a mortal whose soul he knows goes somewhere else a God simply stops existing.
* MultipleHeadCase: The Makhai. If you look closely you can see that if one head is killed, the other one still fights.
* NeckLift: Ares does this to Hephaestus.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: When the Gods die, their bodies turn to dust.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Ares delivers a brutal one to Perseus near the end of the movie.
* NonIndicativeName: Now there ''are'' Titans. Only one of them appears, though, so if you're hoping to see Titans clashing you're still going to be disappointed.
* OffhandBackhand: Ares is so badass, he doesn't have to look behind him when one of the Spartans following Perseus and Andromeda, throws an axe at him, which he deftly catches and throws at his fellow Spartan with enough force to knock the poor bastard into a pillar and crush part of the pillar in the process. He doesn't even look behind him when said Spartan tries to backstab him. He merely turns right as the guy charges, picks him up, and throws him like a doll.
* OrangeBlueContrast: Kronos' orange versus the Spear of Trium's blue. When the latter touches the former's insides, they even change color from orange to blue shortly before the Titan blows up.
* OurMinotaursAreDifferent: Perseus fights a Minotaur in the Labyrinth. The Minotaur has a more human, yet deformed, face than the more common bull-headed depiction, though.
* PapaWolf: Pretty much Perseus's entire motivation for the film.
* PluckyComicRelief: Agenor.
* RememberWhenYouBlewUpASun: Perseus is still hailed as a great hero for his victory over the Kraken and is given a salute of honour by Andromeda's army.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Perseus warns everybody not to pray to Ares, since a god can hear and locate anybody who prays to them and Ares is their enemy. Eventually, Korrina gives in to fear and prays to Ares, thinking he will save her. Ares teleports to the heroes' location and starts slaughtering everybody. When Korrina reveals herself as the person who prayed to him, Ares kills her without a second thought.
* SecondLove: Andromeda to Perseus.
* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: Perseus fights and defeats a minotaur. As he's about to finish it off, the minotaur suddenly starts talking in his son's voice, begging his "father" not to hurt him. Perseus kills it anyway.
* ShoutOut:
** The Chimera's fire breath requires the two heads to work in tandem -- [[WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon one head breathes gas, and the other head lights it.]]
** To ''TabletopGame/TombOfHorrors'':
--->'''Hephaestus:''' This is the entrance to the labyrinth. There are hundreds of doors, all of which would kill you, ha ha... save one. You see, I designed it to play tricks with the mind. After all, the mind is the greatest trap of all.
** Kronos looks almost like Perses from ''VideoGame/GodOfWarIII''; he also resembles his own depiction in ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology''.
** The Makhai look like Olympus Fiends (with two heads) from ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' as well.
** The Chimera is a ''triple'' Shout Out: The "lion" head resembles a white ape from Disney's ''Film/JohnCarter'', the "goat" head resembles the reek from ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', and the serpent tail looks like a [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph chestburster]].
* ShutUpKiss: At the end of the film, Andromeda is discussing battle plans when Perseus plants one on her lips mid-sentence.
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome:
** Io appears only as a tombstone.
** [[spoiler:Poseidon]] gets just slightly more screentime here before getting killed off.
* SuperStrength:
** Ares crumples his enemies like they were made out of clay, easily neck-lifting people and throwing them far away with one hand. Hell, being slapped by Ares looks like it hurts a lot. He even knocked Andromeda off her feet by [[BarehandedBladeBlock grabbing her sword]] and jabbing her with the hilt. He threw Hades' trident over 50 feet to impale Zeus. He shoved Perseus through at least three marble pillars casually, and then kicking Perseus hard enough to crack the marble tablets behind him. He can even generate minor shockwaves while hitting someone, presuming they are capable of surviving his blows, even generating shockwaves powerful enough to send people flying when using his warhammer.
** Zeus and Hades kick the crap out of the Makhai attacking the Unified Greek Army, pummeling these MadeOfIron {{Perpetual Motion Monster}}s with incredible feats of strength.
** Perseus is no slouch either, having used iron chains of questionable quality to ensnare the Chimera and restrain it long enough for it to kill itself, temporarily holding his own in a push-off against a 40 feet tall Cyclops who can easily rip apart and punch through trees and one hit kill ordinary humans, punching the super-strong Minotaur's horn off and beating him into unconsciousness with nothing but his bare fists and a tiny rock, smashing the chains holding Zeus into dust using a staff while Andromeda with a sword was able to do nothing, and he and Agenor together hold off a massive literal AdvancingWallOfDoom before [[TheWallsAreClosingIn it crushed them]].
** Agenor sends a guard flying by just shrugging his shoulder and holds off the aforementioned wall by himself for some time.
** The Makhai toss around the Greek soldiers as if they were pebbles, and the Minotaur does the same to Perseus.
* TimeSkip: It begins ten years after the previous film ends, significantly longer than the actual amount of time that elapsed between their respective releases.
* TooDumbToLive:
** Perseus warns everybody not to pray to Ares, since a god can hear and locate anybody who prays to them and Ares is their enemy. Eventually, Korrina gives in to fear and prays to Ares, thinking he will save her. Ares teleports to the heroes' location and starts slaughtering everybody, including Korrina.
** It's safe to assume that Kronos recognizes that one and only weapon in the world that can defeat him when he sees it, yet he can think of no better tactic to fight off Perseus on Pegasus-back than opening his giant mouth, thus providing Perseus with a more than convenient way of delivering the Spear of Trium where it needs to be to kill the Titan once and for all.
* TookALevelInBadass: Andromeda in the first film? DamselInDistress. Andromeda in the second? Leader of an entire army.
* TrailersAlwaysLie: Zeus's narration about the Titans being freed from their imprisonment is juxtaposed against various monsters that appear throughout the film, including the Minotaur, a cyclops, a Chimera, and various mooks. There is only one Titan in the entire film and those monsters are not at all Titans.
* TheUnfavourite: Ares views himself as this.
* TheUnintelligible: Kronos rambles virtually without pause while he's on screen, but what he actually says remains a complete mystery. Not even the language is discernible, although it's probably some form of ancient Greek.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Ares betrays Zeus because he loathes that he casts his favor and affection more on Perseus, his mortal half-brother, instead of him.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Hades bargains with Kronos that if he would set him free, Kronos would allow Hades and the surviving Gods to keep their immortality. However, he does so knowing that Kronos will wreak havoc upon the earth and cause untold millions of mortals to die (And possibly lead to their extinction).
* WouldHitAGirl: Ares attacks Andromeda with murderous intent and callously kills Andromeda's friend when she begs him for their lives.
* WouldHurtAChild: Ares tries to kill Helius, Perseus's son.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: What happened to the rest of the Greek Pantheon? The Olympian Gods were all seen in the last one, but here only Zeus, Poseidon, Ares, Hades, and Hephaestus appear. It is possible though that the others have already died due to a lack of prayer.
* WreathedInFlames: Kronos' body is composed of magma and fire.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Ares performs a vertical suplex on Perseus during the final showdown, to which Perseus later responds with a spear and a sleeper hold.
* {{Xenafication}}: Andromeda is now a LadyOfWar.
[[/folder]]

* MadeOfIron: The team members who survive the scorpion fight, having got smacked around by the scorpions. Draco and Perseus take this UpToEleven. Perses while an infant survives being locked in a coffin and thrown into the sea while his mother who was with him died. Justified in his case because he is a demi-god.

%%* ShiningCity: Argos (somewhat). Olympus takes it UpToEleven.

* GodzillaThreshold: This is the whole reason the gods "release the Kraken". Despite how powerful it is (to the point that [[HorrifyingTheHorror even the gods are scared of it,]] they decide it's pretty much their only chance by the end.

* GozdillaThreshold: This is the whole reason the gods "release the Kraken". Despite how powerful it is (to the point that [[HorrifyingTheHorror even the gods are scared of it,]] they decide it's pretty much their only chance by the end.

** Krakens, while still pretty powerful in the original myths, weren't "More powerful than Zeus himself EldritchAbomination" level powerful. They were also a race of monsters, rather than a unique being.

* OffhandBackhand: Ares is so badass, He doesn't have to look behind him when one of the Spartans following Perseus and Andromeda, throws an axe at him, which He deftly catches and throws at his fellow Spartan with enough force to knock the poor bastard into a pillar and crush part of the pillar in the process. He doesn't even look behind him when said Spartan tries to back stab him. He merely turns right as the guy charges, picks him up and throws him like a doll.

** The Makhai look like Olympus Fiends (with two heads) from ''VideoGame/GodOfWar''. Also Kronos looks a lot like the magma titan.

** Kronos's appearance as a MagmaMan might be one to ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology'' (where he looked practically the same).
