Wrath of the Titans was pathetic. Was on HBO the other day. Fucking awful. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes seem to spend all their scenes looking at each other being like, "How the fuck did we agree to do this?" The only, I repeat ONLY plus about this movie is that it feigns a reprise of the annoying robotic owl, and then wisely pulls back.

Yeah, I had that playing on my TV the other day. I can't recall a single thing about it, not even any of the actors that were in it. I see to remember there was a big scorpion at one point, but that's it.

Thought the scorpion was from Clash of the Titans. Wrath had, come to think of it, not nearly as many mythological beasts as the first one.

Oh, wait. What? Holy shit, there was a sequel?
No, it was Clash that I "watched" and it was so blah that nothing stuck in my memory at all. I had no idea Wrath existed.
Was it even worse? That's hard to imagine.

The Clash remake was terrible, and yes, I've heard the sequel is even worse.

Wrath of the Titans thread in here?
It was ok. From what I remember, better than Clash... but that is all the praise I will give it.

Even with the bit about the gods dying?

Meaning, I should not like that? Or what?

Traditionally, the only way to take out a Greek god was to eat him. Other than that, you could castrate one and make sure they didn't have anymore children.

Ok.
Welp, they have the in-universe explanation that if peeps don't worship them, they have no powers, an at this point in time so few people are worshiping them that they are "almost mortal." I was trying to figure out where I had heard that concept before, and I just figured out it was from a 1980's Thundercats cartoon in which the felines find an old, forgotten god with no followers, and no powers. So this movie stole that concept, unless it is even older and I just don't know.
But anyway, there is an in-universe explanation for it, and there aren't any Geek gods running around today, so I guess what happened in the movie feels satisfactory, for as much as I am already suspending disbelief, anyway.
I had a harder time accepting Pegasus flying through curtains of lava, and what came right after that.

Pegasus is bad-ass.
