''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.

** In Greek mythology Hades was not an adversary of the other gods, just a member of the pantheon that oversaw of an area of concern (the afterlife) that most people would rather not think about. He was even married to his beautiful [[IncestIsRelative niece]] Persephone.

* CrucifiedHeroShot: The chained Zeus.

** 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.

* EldritchAbomination: Kronos.

** Zeus revolted against his father, Cronus and the other Titans, defeated them, and banished ''them'' to Tartarus, a dungeon in the Underworld. Hades was not banished. He drew lots with Zeus and Poseidon, for shares of the world. He drew the Underworld, making him also the god of the hidden wealth of the earth, including gold and silver. He was cool with it. The movie also says he was not worshiped and while he was seldom worshiped as Hades (that name mostly refers to his realm) he was often worshiped in Greece under the name Pluton, the god of wealth.

* ConvectionSchmonvection: Cronos 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.

** Cronus then delivers one to them.

* CurbStompCushion: The Greek army, despite being outmatched by Cronos's Makhai, manage to take down a good number of them.

* GutturalGrowler: Kronos speaks in an incredibly deep voice, as befits a mythical creature from the advent of time that's well over half a kilometer tall.

* HollywoodTactics: Exactly how fire is supposed to stop the burning LegionsOfHell or how a phalanx is going to stop a [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever several-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.

* ImmortalsFearDeath: Hades and Ares join Cronus on the condition they keep their immortality. Gods [[CessationOfExistence cease to exist upon death]] and that thought terrifies them.

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

* ALoadOfBull: Perseus fights a Minotaur in the Labyrinth. The Minotaur has a more human, yet deformed, face than the more common bull-headed depiction, though.

A sequel, ''Wrath of the Titans'',[[note]]which coincidentally is the title used in Brazil and all Spanish versions for the first movie[[/note]] was released in April 2012. It does have Titans in it.

* RealityEnsues: 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.

%%* HumanSacrifice: Zeus should have just asked for a fruit basket.

* {{Kaiju}}: The Kraken.

* LiterallyShatteredLives: Medusa does this to her victims.

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

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

* OlderThanTheyLook: Io.

* OrganicBra: Medusa.

* ProgressivelyPrettier: You got sexy in my [[GorgeousGorgon Medusa]]!

* HumanSacrifice: Zeus should have just asked for a fruit basket.

* DarkIsEvil: Hades.

** Note to Acrisius: When attempting to murder your wife and the bastard son of the thunder god, refrain from doing so on top of a cliff, in a storm while waving your sword around like a lightning rod. [[FateWorseThanDeath The results are... unpleasant to say the least.]]

* EldritchAbomination: The Kraken is an incredibly huge monster older than the entire human race, that sleeps on the bottom of the ocean, it killed the Titans, and even the ''gods'' fear it. Plus, there's the fact that its design is rather... alien.

* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Hello, Olympus!

** Io.

* ActionGirl: Io.

* 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.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Medusa is a complicated example. The first myths of her state that she was so hideous, the sight turned men to stone. Other myths state that Medusa retained her mortal beauty as some kind of cruel irony, and that the powers were in her eyes. A third set offer a compromise and state that Medusa was both beautiful and terrible at the same time. The third appears to be the school of thought this * movie is following. Medusa is played by a supermodel -- but gets a GameFace when she uses her powers.

* Zeus takes out a small statue of Perseus and says his name, harkening back to the original.

* GuiltByAssociationGag: The reason that Persus' family was killed by Hades was because [[InnocentBystander they were within sight of the mob that Hades attacked for declaring war on the gods]].

* ImmortalBreaker: Zeus' thunderbolt is capable of killing lower gods and similar lesser immortals. The Spear of Triam, however, is capable of killing anything, including Kronos.

* 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 death's of Perseus' family and thousands of other people. Sure he lost his immortality, but he seems quite alright with his situation.]]

* TheDragon: Ares served as Hades' dragon [[spoiler:until he defected]].

** Zeus and Hades deliver this to the Makhai while they are delivering one to the greek army.

* CainAndAbel: Ares is Cain to Perseus' Abel.
* TheCameo: Bubo the mechanical owl reappears as a prop in Hephaestus' home.
