I know better than to idolize influencers. I grew up on 2010 YouTubers, I absolutely know not to put people who film themselves for a living on a pedestal.
But if anything ever comes out about Danny Motta, I'm going on a rampage and burning the entirety of the internet down myself.

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING MY THOUGHTS INTO WORDS I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHY I HAVE SUCH A DISTASTE FOR CERTAIN MYTHOLOGY RETELLINGS WHILE I LOVE OTHER ONES THIS IS LITERALLY IT
in my opinion, many modern greek retellings/stories inspired by greek mythology don't fail because they're inaccurate. they fail because they have nothing new to say.
i don't mind changes to the original myths, as long as they make sense and they have a narrative purpose! i understand that making changes is sometimes necessary to convey a certain narrative, especially to modern audiences.
is epic the musical mythologically accurate? hell no! but the changes serve to tell a specific story and to convey a certain message. also, epic the musical is self aware about its "inaccuracies". and the music just bangs.
is hadestown accurate? no! does it make the change that I always dread, removing the kidnapping from the hades/persephone myth? yeah. but hadestown is barely about them, and it uses greek mythology as a "narrative frame" to tell a certain story. it has a point. it has a message.
what are stories like lore olympus trying to say? what is the messagge of the hundredth persephone/hades retelling? what are we supposed to take from them? "don't listen to your mother she's a bitch"? "mothers are irrational and you should forsake her for a man"? very feminist.
why are we still doing the medusa "feminist" retellings? it's BEEN done. too many times. and they're ALL the same. it's a worse crime than being bad: they are boring.
i'm tired of retellings that are just "what if this very famous story was THE OPPOSITE and the protagonist was an ASSHOLE the whole time and the villain was MISUNDERSTOOD and the real VICTIM" okay but why. why would that be the case. what's the point of the story you want to tell. or do you just want to use shock value.
of course, i dislike retellings that are so different from the myth that they go AGAINST the spirit/message of the original, because in that case what's even the point of retelling the myth? just tell an original story. but i would take stabbed poseidon and capitalist hades any day over the same basic story of medusa being a girlboss or demeter being bad because of... reasons?
tl;dr: stop being unoriginal and tell a good story. or at least an entertaining one. i beg you

I was on the world wide web the other day looking for a physical book copy of my favourite Greek myth of all time, the myth of Eros and Psyche (or Psyche and Eros, or Psyche and Cupid, or Cupid and Psyche, whatever boats your float). The first result that popped up however, was NOT the original myth, but rather a retelling. 'Psyche and Eros: A Novel' by Luna McNamara. Now, I am always sceptical of retellings, we've all had our fair share of dark romance Hades and Persephone romances (suspiciously Lore Olympus-y sounding cough), but I had yet to see Eros and Psyche introduced to the market, surprisingly, so I was cautiously intrigued. Upon a read through of the blurb/GoodReads description, the caution however, returned to my familiar rage at retellings of Greek myths. Now, I have not read the book, nor do I intend to, so I will not speak on the alleged inaccuracies of the many other mythological figures shoehorned into the novel, which many of the reviewershave brought up. Instead, I will solely be focusing on the information gleaned from the GoodReads description, and sharing my own personal opinions. This is not a personal attack on Luna McNamara, this is just the passionate ramblings of someone with an enthusiasm for mythology and a personal distaste for this kind of retelling. Now, let's talk about Psyche. The blurb tells us that Psyche was prophesised to 'defeat a monster feared even by the gods'. This on its own, isn't heinous. In fact, it would actually be an interesting premise, considering that in the original myth (depending on which version or translation you're reading), the Oracle claims that she is destined to marry a monster. Where I take issue with the story is its recharacterization of the main character. Psyche is said to "[Rebel] against her society鈥檚 expectations for women, Psyche spends her youth mastering blade and bow, preparing to meet her destiny." She is described as "headstrong". Now, these traits are perfectly fine in a character. But they are not Psyche. The recharacterization has a strong aura of #feminism #girlboss, and it deems itself such by attaching traditionally masculine traits onto its feminine character to create the illusion of depth. This is NOT me dogging on headstrong characters that wield swords and bows and defy cultural expectations set for women. I love those characters. I love stories like that. But the thing that makes Psyche so unique in the original myth, the thing that sets her apart from so many other Greek stories and tragedies steeped in violence, is her constant kindness and compassion. She is soft, she is gentle, and that is WHY she succeeds the way that she does in her story. Despite the hardships she endures, she perseveres with a pure heart and good, earnest intentions, and that is WHY the gods favour her over Aphrodite, it is WHY they help her with her tasks. If you wanted to create a #feminism #girlboss story, there are a PLETHORA of Greek myths centred around women that fit narratives like that, there are SO many society-defying warriors to write about. But in a world of violent tales, Psyche is unique. She is an outlier. She is strong BECAUSE she is compassionate despite her suffering. By taking that away, it undermines so much of her story and I genuinely do not know how the rest of the myth is able to be told when a Psyche characterized the way this one has been would NEVER make the decisions that the original Psyche would have. The original message is GONE. The plot could not POSSIBLY progress like this. I do not know what to say. I do not know what this book would do with this character or this myth. Why choose this one if only to completely warp it into something else? Why? This got real long real fast. I stand by my opinions, but let it be known that I am not insulting the author nor anyone who reads this book and enjoys it. That is your business. But if you ever have a chance to read the original Psyche and Eros myth, I implore you. Keep it fleeby, my schmumblos.

I refuse to believe that that guy was torn apart by an army of wooden puppets. Being torn apart is so overdone. All the podcasts are doing it. What I believe happened, is he was turned into a tiny little action figure man, with a little plastic gun. He is a GI Joe now which is why he talked Like That. It was predestined. I encourage everyone else to adopt this headcanon, which is the best.
