Blood of Zeus Season 2 - TheMythologyGuy discusses 

I was actually genuinely surprised with how they did Hades. I was also thinking he was just going to be evil but I’m glad they gave him sympathetic motivations.

I appreciate that, even though Hades is an antagonist, they still drive home how his motivation is understandable, even sympathetic, and that compared to the other Olympians the dude is a *saint* Hell, even when he manipulates and kills people , you can tell its not what he wants. He feels *bad* about it, but he won't stop because he's in a situation where he doesn't see another way out.

I was so happy that they showed Hades and Persephone’s love story. The fact that she willingly eats the pomegranate seeds. I like the take that it was Demeter who falsely spread the event as a kidnapping. Also ecstatic that they showed ARES x APHRODITE TOGETHER like omg yay!!! I can’t have enough of Hermes. Every scene he’s in, my eyes are drawn to him. He’s utilized exceptionally 🏃🪽🪽 I also like how we got to see the siblings Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Hermes plus Hestia working together getting their deserved screen time. Seraphim is such an interesting character. Amazing writing for his development. I hope that him and Heron bond as true brothers. I already like the gradual growth they had in this season.

17:23 - That's the Alexander method of problem solving. Cutting a knot is equivalent to blowing holes in the labyrinth.

5:22 I believe that was actually the giant Tityus, who got that punishment for attempting to focre himself on Leto aka mother of Apollo and Artemis

Destroying the maze to solve the puzzle. If it’s good enough for Alexander the Great, it’s good enough Heron and Seraphim.

I’m so glad they did hades and Persephone right. Pop culture has ruined his character since Disney Hercules. He is legit the best god of the Olympians. He should’ve been the King

been addicted to this show lately.

Tityus was instead slain by the thunderbolt of his father Zeus.[4] As punishment, he was stretched out in Tartarus and tortured by two vultures who fed on his liver, which grew back every night.[4] This punishment is comparable to that of the Titan Prometheus.

I enjoyed too, but what they did with Ares felt so dirty, especially in that scene with Persephone. I mean he is many things, but a r*pist is not one of them.

Blood of Zeus is honestly awesome. Its probably the best Greek show right now. Change my mind

I want to add that it is considered that there were 2 Minos in mythology. The first is the one who was rewarded with being the judge of the underworld. the second Minos, grandson of the first, is the one of the Labyrinth

It takes creative liberty behind the mythology of this animated series. Its a unique take and its mostly entertaining. While season 1 did focus on the action, season 2 was smart to slow things down and put some pieces in place as well as making time for character building.

I think it was implied to be Hera the one who cut Heron's threads, I like how Seraphin got developed and how he trusted and worked for Hades because their motivations were the same, how Hades gave him the bottle as a meaning that he kept his word and his part of the deal is done, how they made Hades an antagonist but not a villain and you can understand where his decision to stab Heron came from (how he was going to explain to his children that mister chosen one having the power to change things basically said "Fuck you, keep suffering in order to keep the balance of the world") also I want to see how Hades reacts to his first trully selfish choice ends dooming everyone he loves.

People are scared of Owls today, looking at Mothman sightings. They're very large, silent fliers, the barred owl has supposedly a red eyeshine, large wingspan and in the dark or while driving a car, judging distance, proportions and size correctly is very difficult.

Hey, just wondering if you’ve listened to EPIC: The Musical? It’s a musical retelling of The Odyssey, and as of me sending this, all the songs for Act 1 have been released.

It was MUCH better than season 1. We still get a lot of "Speed Racer" esque animation, but nowhere near as much. plus we actually get some PLOT as opposed to things just happening for no reason (and we get some actual explanations and REASONS for those things that just randomly happened in season 1). Seems like they used that four years to, you know, actually work on the show.

I really like the fact even tho they portray Hades as the villain they make it in a way it is accurate he does it because his love to Persephone and vice versa and they both do it because their children are sad which is nice to see Percy Jackson, batman and Hades game aren't the only ones to portray Hades accurate

The fact that Gorgo Seraphim’s fiancée dies is so depressing

Any chance that the blood of Zeus can show different myths like Norse because they show seraphim being tied up and acid by a snake just like Loki or Celtic myths or Egyptian because that would be interesting to see a world that each myth can coexist just like the god of war games

I think it was because it was the adamantium sword that the Hydra didn't respawn. At least that's how I interpreted that scene

Gaia: "I have had it with these mother f*cking gods, and their mother f*cking drama!"

Can we talk about that Hades reffers to Hera in this season as a sister, which makes it probably the only adaptation of Greek mythology to address the incest part

I think the snake torture, the mention of african gods, and the mention that Olympus united all HELLAS divinities/gods are implying that other pantheons exist

Hey mythology guy have you heard of Epic the musical? It’s a concept album being written as a retelling/ reimagining of the Odyssey. Do you think you could do a video/review on it?

You could totally pass as a young Slavoj Zizek

I didn't think anyone knew about this show, glad to see you saw it as well.

Hello Mythology Guy, I have a question for you. Have you ever heard of the musical called The Epic by Jorge Rivera Herrans, which is a musical telling the story of the Odyssey and it is amazing, I would highly recommend you listen to all the different sagas because Jorge has put so much effort into it and I truly believe that you as a mythology fan would love it. Also keep up the content it is amazing what you can teach you really should consider teaching history or mythology, you would be an excellent teacher

Yeah but if Persephone can leave underworld for 6 months just because ZEUS allowed it why can’t HADES do the same? And all the creatures started to act against the rules after Zeus died, why can’t Hades?

At least we see more Melinoe and Zagreus depictions

With Hydra. First time only some of its heads were cut off and second time all of them were cut off. So I assume that it could only survive and regenerate if at least one head survive. I can't wait for inaccuracy video. I will watch season 3.

Same opinion about Hestia. I am an huge fan of Hestia and to see her in action and really much screen times (As she deserved !) make me really happy. Its also nice to see Hestia beeing afraid when she had that much power, because she is an kinda goodness. So I am very glad for that !

The man in Tartarus having his liver eaten by birds wasn’t promethus it was Tityos. He was a giant who was killed by Apollo and his punishment was the same as Prometheus.

Seraphim is the most interesting character in season 1 & 2 . 👍🏾

Do you plan to review Hades I / Hades II (the games)? Same question with the "innaccuracies in the myths"?

I love that show. While it is full of inaccuracies the show overall works for me, this doesn't bother me at all the show is fantastic enough to enjoy it. I agree Serafim is much more interesting than Heron, especially with the way he is using the Bident so skillfully. The problem with Heron is that he is so rash most of the time, but his heart is in the right place he is a good person unlike his father.

I love the animation STYLE, I just wished they could have polished it a bit more. It honestly looked like it was skipping frames at some points. Also, I would totally believe Demeter made up Persephone's kidnapping to get sympathy. She was such a Karen. If Hades actually used his words, Heron might have forced Demeter to stop with the wintertime tantrums, accept that Persephone is happy with Hades, and move on with life so that they can be together year-round. I bet the audience would love to see Demeter suck it, to say nothing of the other Olympians--I know I would. I really hate when conflicts could have been resolved if people could just sit down and talk and instead they choose to escalate it. There's a reason we have two ears and one mouth: talk less, listen more. I would not have minded the "No-Naming" of Typhon so much if they treated the other gods with the same respect, since the gods knew when someone spoke of them by name. Voldemort didn't trademark the name taboo, after all. They might as well have not even bothered keeping his name a secret, and it feels more like they stole the idea from J. K. Rowling, which makes it feel cheap and ripped off. Can we also acknowledge that Demeter just pulled a DC's Poison Ivy with her bioweapon? Just saying. In your inaccuracy video, I would love it if you touched on the bald eagle that's torturing Prometheus--bald eagles are North American birds, not Greek/Mediterranean. Bugs me they did that in the Clash of the Titans remake. I also can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Eleusinian Stone--I'm sure you're aware of the Eleusinian Mysteries and their association with Demeter and Persephone. All I've learned about them is that Persephone's name Kore was all that was ever revealed, they were so closely guarded by the cult that no one knows what they are to this day, and that you had to learn them in order to traverse the Underworld (Heracles had to, anyway). Can't wait for that video!

What I didn't know season 2 dropped now I gotta watch it

Yeah! When I saw the Loki szeen I was so confused. I was like "??? am I remembering this wrong??? What?" 😂

Seraphim is basically Loki when you think about it

Season 2 for me is 10/10. It's animation style never bothered me at all. But i get why it wouldn't work for many. I loved how character driven it was this time around. Witch in turn made me care for the many that did not receive enough themselves last season. I love all the characters. Heron and Seraphim are both my top favorites, next to Zeus, Poseidon, Hades and Hera so far. For the record, Helios is my favorite Greek God. I hope he appears in the next season. If i have to name a top favorite, it's Heron. Mainly of how much of his Heroes Journey reminds much of Luke Skywalker. Well, before Disney went and ruined that great character. While Seraphim is everyones most favorite. I've always been a fan the more classic heroes types. Now, the animation was awesome this time around for me and the those 4 years were worth the wait for this one. My biggest compliment is Paul Edward-Francis' incredible music score for the show and he nailed it this season and Charles and Vlas Parlapanides direction was once again grand for me. The Brothers did a great job this season.

Of any people that could understand Hades motivations is HERON!!! Communication people it saves lives!!! So many lose thread and miss opportunities of this show are to the roof! one plot is presented and then droped/forgotten/underused, hope they work that out for season 3(hopping there is a season 3) it is a good show.. kind of, it is an entertained show... kind of, is the best Greek mihtology show nowdays... by default it is xD but still watchable

Can you please talk about journey to the west and how powerful sun wukong is

I liked it but the one thing that kept popping up in my mind is "Why is Poseidon so... Passive?"

Just like Season 1, I’d rate Blood of Zeus Season 2 a 7/10. There were parts I liked and parts I disliked. What I liked: -We got to see more of gods that were barely shown in season 1, such as Hades, Athena, and Demeter. We even got new gods like Gaea, Persephone, and Hestia, the third one is virtually unseen. There were also minor characters such as the Keres present, which I enjoyed seeing. -While Heron still isn’t my favorite character (probably never will) he did develop. Last season Heron was just your average anime protagonist, he still kinda is but does develop more so I’ll give him that. Seraphim developed a lot as well and we saw more of his past with his lover. -More world building which makes the story more interesting. My favorite part had to be the whole Typhon thing. What I disliked: -Most of Hades’ cause falls into the typical Hollywood Hades. He was cheated by Zeus, he hates ruling the Underworld, now he wants to rule Olympus. He feels a lot like the Hades we’ve seen in Disney’s Hercules, Clash of the Titans 2010, Percy Jackson movies, and countless others. -A lot of the characters feel like they’re just there. Such as Poseidon, Ares, Evios, and Kofi. Evios is silent until when he randomly decides to bail on the team, never to be seen again. He’s a wasted character. -This is something I noticed back in season 1. They tend to do the unpredictable too early imo. At the end of season 1, Zeus dies. At the end of season 2, Heron dies. Assuming the series is 5 seasons long (as the Parlapanides Brothers wanted it to be) they killed off 2 main characters at the beginning. Removes the shock value and makes it more predictable as the story goes on.

Love your vids keep up the great stuff ❤

I grew up learning that if a owl perches near your house and sings, everyone in the house as to turn a pair of their shoes upside down, or they'll die in their sleep...

I need season 3 rn cant wait for a year +

Not sure if you already heard it or not, but I love to hear your thoughts about Epic: The Musical by Jorge. It’s a musical adaptation of The Odyssey, 20 songs. I would really like to know what you think of it. And you should just listen to them regardless, the songs are Epic (pun intended)😂

I hope they get to do 5 seasons as they intend

Immediately went to this video when I saw there was a new season

lets be honest the whole trial thing was manipulated by Gaia to give Heron the stone, she want to give the stone to Heron, but can't just do that, so she created this whole trial made to give Heron the advantage and even tell him how to win the trial with the sword cheat code

I love how Hades is NOT EVIL Take that , Hollywood

13:11 I know it’s not accurate to o the myths, but the Hydra got *_ALL of its heads_* cut off on the last try. Maybe that’s why it died.

I want to point out the sword is super duper special and that’s why the hydra heads didn’t grow back when cut by it versus Alexia’s first sword. I liked the show but they could’ve referenced Hekate by name instead of “the witch god” and since they changed the giant story they kinda robbed her some honorable mentions but then made Her a floating head that asks to solve a riddle and then turned into a dragon that got took done in one hit. Then Heron doesn’t even do the test with Her 🙄 I agree with your score lol it was still awesome greek mythos anime since Ive never heard of another one.

before watching the review: during the entire show i was just salty in my head thinking "this is what percy jackson needs, this is what it should have been" like cmon!? this show got 100 times better

I really quite liked the second season! 8/10! I go by the grading system so this is good/B in my eyes. Seraphim is definitely better than heron but him having the thing happen might finally give us summn interesting

This is the marvel of ancient god shows

For the Hydra scene, pretty sure she missed one head if I am not mistaken and that is why it regrew them

i love how in the background you can see a book called "dad jokes"

I was very frustrated at the end like JUST TALK TO ECHOTER!!!!!

Could you do a reveiw on the Olympian books by George O Conner

Curious witch mythology do you think sun god nika from one piece would fit in with

Do Inaccuracy video or Hercules 2014 film or Crossover with OSP and Jake Doubleyoo

So when are we going to get a Every Mythical Inaccuracy in Blood of Zeus season 1 and 2??

I'm always ready for another inaccuracy video. 😉

How long until you post the Thor Love and Thunder Mythical Inaccuracy video?

Maybe someone can answer this, but why don’t we see Hades trying to sway Demeter to resolve his conflict? The show shows that Persephone being in the underworld doesn’t stop Demeter from visiting. The custody battle between her mother and her husband is a bit awkward at times. The changes kinda just make Demeter a toxic asshole which would of been a bit more effective if we saw her in a nicer light in season 1. I’d figured she want to see her grandkids too.

I still hate the fact that Gods bleed red blood instead of Golden Ichor and can die instead of being Immortal MCU Zeus is not only *on Villains wiki* but also *bleeds Golden Ichor* and *is Immortal* all of which Blood of Zeus Zeus is not

I'm on my 3rd re-watch.

get well soon bro

I find it funny that they reuse the name Gorgo (Medusas real Greek name, yes it’s Gorgo - Medusa just like Heracles - Hercules) and she’s still a priestess, although for Artemis not Athena. While I’ve been writing my book I’ve loved learning how we have been taught the wrong names and stories for so long.

My guess is Zeus would be freed to face Typhon in Season 3

i loved this season honestly and cant wait for third one to come out, only thing that I hated was the whole ares Persephone thing. of all people you picked him when almost anyone else would have been more accurate. its even worse when, as you said, they did their research. so I'll probably just pretend that didn't happen or some shapeshifting monster did that for how much it pisses me off

I thought Hera cut the thread

Hades doesnt explain or talk about his situation because he has never been dealt a fair hand or been treated honestly. Heck in zeus trail we learn posiden knew hera and zeus were going to cheat and thus give hades his cursed existence. Hades has a serious and understandable lack of trust or ability to believe anyone will be straight, honest or give him a fair un biased chance in life.

This got a 2nd season?!

it is as good as season 1 but with more family drama

Has any one else seen popcross studios new mythology series on youtube

In Germany a specific kind of owl almost went extinct because people thought it was an omen of death. The owls make a sound that sounds like "komm mit" (come with) so people assumed they were lurking others into their death.

are you gonna do "Every mythical inaccuracy in Blood of Zeus"? i know it's a question but please treat as a very respectful very eager request from a guy who just finished "Every inaccuracy in Hercules" *coughs: Heracles

How are you making a Hades 2 video?

They didn’t make Hades a true villain. Thank goodness because people make ruler of the underworld as synonymous with evil.

Holy zeus when did the second season release?

When i first saw hestia i was saying hestia is bestia 😂.

This season of fortnite is about to end and it's Greek mythology theme could you look at some of it at least because they changed a lot from the actual myths

Still very confused as to how Zeus died given the Greek gods can't do that

What's up with the stones? There's supposed to be three but the other two are just useless? Whats the point of the other two Elusinian stones?

Have you heard of Epic: The Musical, Mr Mythology guy? :)

they made Hades the family scapegoat and black sheep.

Hello 👋! How are you doing? I hope you’re doing well and I think your video will now be the reason o will get into blood of Zeus. Besides that, have a great day, keep up the great work, and I will see you next time!

TBH I loved the first season and I liked this season but it felt impassioned idk

Didn't Apollo get sucked up by the manta ray giant? How the hell did he survive?

I am on hades side, I just think he didn’t trust him. He also probably didn’t want ppl to know what his goal was or they could use his motivation how he used Seraphim. I mean he tried to convince seraphim with anything else bevor telling him the story. Considering how the other gods behave he just doesn’t trust them or Heron, that’s probably why he doesn’t tell him.

Demeter became more of a beach than hera in my opinion...

I can't wait for the dedicated Boogeyman episodes.

I thought it was great. I wish we could have more typhon dgmw we see him a bit, but i wanted him to be more on screen, gaia was a great edition i think they could of done more with her but hey i guess it works

I don't really see the whole Gaia summoning Typhon thing made-up since several versions mention that she had personally created him. Its the versions that say Set is Typhon and the Greek Gods fled into the forms of animals witch confuses me cause not only dose it flop time-line wise, you can't just say they all became animals cause a good quarter plus of the Gods of Egypt look human anyway! (I can't help but wonder what this animation studio is doing with Sekhmet ala their Castelvania sequel. Will they summon Set cause Chaos repels Chaos allegedly?) Coming off that book nobody should ever read 'Game of Gods' I have to say this version of Hades is an Absolute Saint compared to that overly controlletive and abusive husband that Scarlet St. Clair had fantasized about. Honest to Gods thank you Blood of Zeus thank you for making the romance between Hades and Persephone normal again. That and the de-vilification of Gaia that Rick Riordan had planted cause the Greeks had Oracles dedicated for Gaia therefore unlike what Heroes of Olympus says you won't be flung into Tartarus for worshiping/following her. She's like the Earth itself. Gentle one moment. Furious the Next! I did like Hestia too. (I'm shocked that in 15+books Rick Riordan only used her Once.) It was nice to see a Goddess whom was thought to be an harmless 'stand-by and watch' Goddess getting in there and kicking some ass. I was just bothered by Demeter. Maybe that's cause Scarlet St. Clair had utterly vilified her or something, but the plague against humanity didn't really seem... so much her thing as it would've been Apollo. Also it was really weird that Zeus didn't answer for what he did to Prometheus when they showed his torture. Like what? How!? I liked the season and I'm hoping this doesn't get cancelled, but there better be a scene in S3 were Zeus is laying strung up right beside Prometheus! I'd say 8.5 rating by my POV.

Yeah Netflix messed up Hades and Ares are the two only kinda decent gods

hiiinim Jr biggest fan
