YMMV / Mythic Warriors: Guardians of the Legend

Go To

  • Adorkable: Hades, surprisingly, as seen in "Persephone and the Winter Seeds."
  • Awesome Music: Just listen to the opening theme.
  • Cant Unhear It: Where to start? Lawrence Bayne as Hercules, Wayne Robson as Eurystheus, Colin Fox as Menelaus, Stephen Ouimette as Dionysus, Cedric Smith as Polydectes, these aren't just actors playing a part, these ARE the voices of Classical Mythology!
  • Complete Monster: "Icarus and Daedalus" & "Theseus and the Minotaur": King Minos is the tyrannical ruler of Crete. Minos asks Daedalus to build him weapons, claiming he will only use them to defend his kingdom. After the Athenian fleet arrived following his call for peace negotiations, Minos has Daedalus's weapons, including a giant robot named Talos, unleashed on them, resulting in the destruction of the whole fleet. Those who survived are locked in the Labyrinth, an inescapable prison built by Daedalus which houses a man-eating Minotaur. Minos reveals to Daedalus that as the price for their defeat in the war, every year the Athenians must send seven sons and seven daughters to be sacrificed to the Minotaur or Athens will be destroyed. When Daedalus refuses to make any more weapons, Minos imprisons Daedalus and his son, Icarus, with the only way out being through the Labyrinth. Upon learning of the two escaping with man-made wings, Minos orders his men to shoot them down. After the last batch of Athenians arrive, Minos has them them taken to an arena to face his bulls unarmed, with those lucky enough to survive being sent to the Labyrinth. Following the Minotaur's death and the escape of the Athenians, Minos orders them to be stopped, threatening to have his general beheaded if any Athenian leaves the harbour alive.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The series has seen DVD release in, of all places, South Korea, which also appears to be one of the few countries where it's available on DVD (the other is Serbia).
  • Older Than They Think: The portrayal of Menelaus as an older man and Paris as Troy's ruler was previously seen in the Xena: Warrior Princess episode Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts. That Ken Blackburn and Colin Fox were both sixty-one when they portrayed Menelaus was quite the coincidence.
