I have a one sided beef with mythology retellings
Circe, the song of Achilles, Ennead and even fucking Percy Jackson. I CAN'T TAKE THE MISINFORMATION ANYMORE, the fans of these are some of the most uneducated and insufferable people to be around, LIKE NO ACHILLES WAS NOT A GOOD PERSON he's not a poor lil gay boy who lost his lover and Patroclus was not a twink who couldn't fight, he was one of the best warriors...he deserved to die, Hector of Troy was the victim, the troyans were the victims. Ennead is a orientalist dumpster fire that whitewashes half of the gods and specifically makes the "beautiful" god's light skinned.
To be fair, any mythology that is retold is bound to deviate, the only difference is the scale. Look at journey to the west. You have some pretty accurate 1-to-1 adaptations, then you have something like dragon ball. One of my fave manhuas has a gay pixiu and a tech-CEO emperor fengdu. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
It's not exclusive to fictional works too....... reply
