Start posting porn and calling the mods faggots. That'll get you banned.

I don't have any porn.

In my experience, though, the best way to get banned from /co/ is to just respond to any and every post with lehappymerchant.jpg and go 'yesss, good goyim!" over and over.

I heard "rape" was a mistranslation of "elope" or adultery in this context.

It's short for "Pontiusavid Pilateberg"

>>90317430
Is she really that difficult to work with?

>>90321538
I assume she's pretty much fed up with executive meddling at this point.
Then again, she IS a feminist.

>>90316002
>Perseus chops off her head and uses it as a weapon.

You know, the irony of this whole situation is that if Perseus had just told Medusa that he was planning to fuck with Poseidon she probably would have helped him willingly.

Then he would have had a wicked-ass archer that can turn people to stone on command working for him, instead of a rotting severed head in a bag that can only be used a few times.

>>90323587
If you created a pop cultural juggernaut like the Small Horse Monsters reboot, wouldn't the success and horror left in its wake go to your head too?

>>90323714
I dunno man, maybe she just wants to create things she's gonna enjoy and things that match her views.

I mean, she created that DC superheroine cartoon, it didn't last much, then a bit later they release another where the girls look more marketable.

It's hard to tell, maybe she was trying to tell a story without romance with Medusa, and the suits tried to shove some into it because "it would sell better"? The same kind of stuff /co/ might bitch about as well.

Of course, that's just speculation. Directors' "artistic visions" don't make for a good movie, necessarily.

>>90319654
He washed his hands of the whole affair.
Pontius Pilate did nothing wrong.

>>90316002
I remember the show Hercules in the 90s. The opening had a quote "The greek gods were petty and cruel, and they plagued mankind with suffering." This is surprisingly accurate. The greek gods were kind of dicks.

Yeah but no bitching winged mount. Also it both helps him avoid the issues of 1. having a party member who could kill him if he accidentally looks in the wrong part 2. making his whole quest pointless when he realizes that snake girls are superior to black girls.

Thanks to this thread, I finally remembered enough details to track down the source of a scene that absolutely terrified me when I was a young kid.

She actually questioned the feminazis' bitchfit when that scientist wore a shirt full of hot comic book chicks on tv. She didn't defend him, though, and her reaction to comic book girls wearing cleavage seemed pretty "feminist" by then.

Also, she tried to shill that crappy Ghostbusters remake, because, regardless if you dislike remakes, "more female representation in action movies" etc etc.

So, yeah. She has more common sense than a lot of them, but she seems to be a bit more into it than it's healthy.

Some visual novel version of Medusa who sleep-rapes the MC and alley-rapes his tomboy friend who later allies with him to save his love interest from destroying the world.

Also she doesn't turn into snake-related things till the next sequel where she almost massacred Medea./

>Showing any Greek god as a nice person

They were all fucking nut jobs.They weren't worshiped because they were nice, but because they were powerful. Even their "heroes" are usually psychotic people. Ulysses murders a baby boy during the siege on Troy simply because they killed his father, Hector and he could one day grow up to get revenge.

>>90331405
one of the few movies that highlighted that she was a bitchin archer, alot of the rest of the movie was mediocre and forgettable tho

>>90331754
Not him, but i actually can when i get back from work. Did my dissertation on various representations of Medusa, which includes 2 versions of the myth. In one she is raped, in the other she willingly bangs poseidon and is cursed for polluting athena's remple (as she was a priestess). Some people have even argued that athena's curse wasn't actually a curse, but a protective measure for a traumatised rape victim.

Has Cholk done anything with the Greek stuff? I fell off relatively early but from glancing in it seems like all the Mythology stuff is ignored even though he's allegedly still running a company that should still be full of Greek shit. Also did they explain where his sister was?

calling for her and getting rape in the Temple. Basically if she didn't go seeking help from her she wouldn't have been cursed

I thought Eneas had escaped with Hector's family.

Probably a whole lot. I wonder if Athena would be painted in a bad light, to begin with.
...Wait, didn't she ALSO send Perseus for Medusa's head? Or was it someone else?

Pic related is a "What if her curse was supposed to be a gift that protected her"

>>90337006
King Polydectes of Seriphus was the one who sent him to kill Medusa. Though Athena was one of the gods who helped him to do it, she gave him the mirrored shield.
Honestly the worst part is that after Perseus held on to the head for a while he gave it to Athena, who mounted it on her fucking shield.

Right, back from work. Time to cite this shit

Enterline, 2000 (p. 82) argues that Medusa potentially a protective talisman for raped women. "...the fact that Medusa’s metamorphosis originated in rape may explain why her ghastly os is wielded only against men”. (See also Kraemer, 1992 (p. 29) for more on Medusa as a protective figure for women).

Aston, 2011 (p. 261) suggests that the ritual of Medusa as a protective figure predates the myth we associate with her. (the gorgon's head appearing on charms etc. well before the myth appears. See in particular the gorgoneion on warriors' shields). Myth following ritual gives the possibility that multiple versions of the myth can be given equal weighting.

In Hesiod's Theogony (dating from c. 700 BC), the encounter between Medusa and Poseidon is framed as consensual (Theogony II.275-77). In constrast, Ovid's Metamorphoses (8 AD) clearly depicts it as a rape (Meta. IV. 796-806). Though Ovid's version is of a much later date, it is only an example I have used, and forcibly fucked Medusa is an old concept.

What's really interesting is the shift from hideous/intimidating Medusas, the old style, to the 'beautiful Medusas' that become more common as time went on. It is also v. likely that Medusa was an imported figure into Greek society, which could explain some of the contradictions concerning her story, and the considerable development of her character and appearance that we can trace.The first time she's referred to as a beautiful figure in a literary source is from the 5th century BC (Pythian Ode 12), but by then visual forms had already softened.

I could genuinely go all day on this, so I'll stop here. I hope it helps!
