“The factor is, although, and I’ll simply say in a short time, that the aim Jacob was at all times, if we get to do 5 seasons, there was by no means an apocalypse or an end-of-day story in Greek Mythology. It didn’t actually exist, there’s no Ragnarok, no finish of days, and I additionally assume that again then, Christianity so rapidly overtook the faith that it was by no means accomplished.
So the unique pitch was that we ultimately get to a know Ragnarok end-time story by the top of season 5, after which it’s only a query of whether or not we’ll be afforded the chance to get there. We’ll see, however it’s the thought of, like, what occurs, you realize, to the gods and the way their world got here to an finish.”

She can turn into the Medusa Gorgon when she wants that energy for revenge, not as a result of she’s been cursed however as a result of, in case you’re accustomed to that story, Athena punishes her as a result of the temple acquired desecrated and he or she acquired attacked. That’s not cool. Really, Athena must be on her facet. So, as an alternative, she [Athena] offers her [Medusa] this capacity as a weapon and never as a punishment.
Could we inform the unique story of Medusa? Yeah, after all. But nobody desires to purchase that, and nobody is keen to pay for that! So, you’ve acquired to place spins on issues to get folks engaged.
