After the success of 2009’s Avatar, Hollywood was determined to make Sam Worthington the next big leading man. Along with Terminator: Salvation, he was put at the forefront of several huge productions- one of which was a remake of the 1981 film Clash of the Titans.
Clash of the Titans definitely raises some questions though. Like why is this called Clash of the Titans when there are zero titans in it? What’s the Kraken doing here in a Greek Mythology story? What was the point of those two guys who show up for a bit and then randomly leave? Why was Perseus so selective about which god gifts to accept? Why didn’t Zeus bring back his family in the end?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Clash of the Titans.

To be fair, Zeus having other people stop the plans he set in motion is probably the most on-brand thing in this entire movie.
Yeah, in addition to knocking up human ladies.
I‘ll add to that list: only believing in part of oracles or thinking one could avert their predictions is very spot on, too. Feels like that’s what the whole Greek mythology build up upon
@@josiahkronk6846 *anyone, zeus doesn't discriminate at all
Dudes a very form believer in the old 'if there's a hole there's a goal'
Also giving his son a side piece instead of giving his family back.
Greek Mythology: When all the glaring plot holes and inconsistent characterization are not only intentional, but 100% faithful to the source material.
I can't believe you missed the opportunity to say "Releasing your Kraken is tight!"
my brother once told me he and a roommate of his would occasionally declare that phrase when one of them went to drop a deuce.
It sure is tight sir
@@brianhenry7348 I still prefer "Taking the Browns to the Superbowl."
Shiney Liam's are tight!
@@mallios13 awww, poor Browns. It's the only way they get there.
"what about his family?" "Nah" absolutely killed me lol.
I never even thought of that lol
to be fair, it would bee kinda creepy if they where brought back instead... and he started making out with them.
Yeah that was a good line. But ironically wrong. Io was family - like his great great great granny. If you look at the wikipedia page for this film, it notes that this character Io and Perseus lived centuries apart, and she was an ancestor. Eeew.
Dang it
Can anyone please recommend a modern movie that isn’t stoopid AF? I’m seriously concerned for Ryan’s long term health. I mean each movie must kill shite-tons of brain cells…
I love how Hades, the absolute nicest and most chill of all Greek gods is the one that sets loose the Kraken, a sea monster from Norse mythology. Poseidon must've been taking a nap or something, because I clearly remember Poseidon doing that in the original movie. :P
You're right about Poseidon rrkeasing it in the original. It was some giant squid-looking thing. I think.
Did you get the Norse thing from wikipedia? Have to admit I went looking for that after watching this PM. Funny thing, way down at the bottom of the page under "See also" is Cetos - an ancient sea monster slain by Perseus in Greek myth. So this is a case of writers, of the original film, choosing a better known name for a sea monster, rather than writers of this film getting their mythological deeds wrong.
Poseidon did it in the book, too, and by book I mean Apollodorus's Bibliotheca, New York Times bestseller of 153 CE or thereabouts. These movie adaptations always change things.
Poseidon is the behind of scenes villain of the original Perseus story (while the monsters and king polydectes are the properly villains), in Ovid version he screwed up Medusa (altrough in all other versions he did nothing), but he was the one that set up the monster Cetus to Aethiopia, and Perseus killed the monster to save Andromedra.
it wasnt poseidon, it was davy jones
“I’m proud of you son for stopping the thing that I, myself, set into motion” - Zeus in one sentence 😂
Mind you, that's just Zeus in general.
"I also raped your mother after turning into a random animal"
Funniest thing about this being on-brand for Zeus is that it implies he's proud of Hera too for constantly, bitterly cleaning up after him. Aw. How sweet. /s
Gods doing god things.

@@88porpoise Exactly. Hollywood's been doing remakes since the 30's and 40's.
"Classic Vinewood ended 30 years ago. Now it's just superheroes, romantic comedies and remakes." -Lester Crest, 2013
More movies were original in 2022 than were remakes or sequels. Just stating a fact, if you're gonna respond emotionally just don't
It's always amazing how Zeus is portrayed as some great guy, and Hades is a evil monster...
When most of the myths kind of indicate the opposite.
hollywood is obsessed with mirroring Christianity onto greek mythology. Presumably so it's more relatable to the evangelicals?
The prelude of the movie talked about how zues tricked Hades into the underworld so the whole movie I'm just thinking, why are we cheering for zeus again?
When is Hollywood going to make Zeus the main antagonist? Or Aphrodite the main antagonist? Or Kronos?
@@legoking6165 They tried Kronos with the second Percy Jackson film. Knowing Hollywood, they probably attribute that to the reason it bombed
@@RokuHanmar
I'm pretty sure the reason that movie bombed is because so many people hated the first one.
And again I ask, why can't Aphrodite be the villain of a movie? She's like Mother Gothel from Tangled, only about ten times more evil and about fifty times more slutty.
Kratos has a different opinion 😏
The " hey, shut up" is the best 😂 always dropped in with perfect timing!
This one had it twice …which probably is quite a statement about the movie.
I wanna use but no one will get it hhaahha
I miss the ol "I'm gonna need you to get ALLLLL the way off my back about that" instead 🙁
@@lisajohnson5516 😂 Ryan is cutey cute 🌺
Producer guy showed more emotions during the "Oh no, very pretty exposition lady" bit than the whole cast in the whole movie...combined.
He expresses more emotion and showcases better acting than most people in Hollywood these days.
I legitimately don't even remember her "character" being in the movie unlike everything else mentioned here. She's *that* bland, apparently.
that's what happens when you cast the main character from James Cameron's Avatar.
@@MusicoftheDamned Or your attention span is that short, apparently.
To be fair, it was a very pretty exposition lady.
I love how no matter what happens, how crazy the ideas are, or how much doubt exists, Screenwriter Guy and Producer Guy ALWAYS agree to make the movie
It _would_ be interesting to see (Ryan's version of) pitch meetings for movies that got rejected ... but were eventually made by someone else and turned out to be blockbusters or classics.
Yes sir I do sends me into hysterics 😂
"Why do they do that?"
"So the movie can happen."
"Oh, right."
this needs to be top comment
It actually makes sense. In “Batman Returns” we found out that Producer Guy is the one coming up with the ideas and Screenwriter guy is just a hallucination. So in his subconscious, they must be good ideas.
Fun fact: Harry Hamlin, the guy who played Perseus in the original *Clash of the Titans,* did the voice of Perseus in the *God of War* games. They even modeled Perseus off of Hamlin as well.
Ryan’s very subtle “Hey Shut up” never ceases to make me laugh.😂🤣
"Hey shut up!" seems to have replaced "Listen sir, I'm going to need you to get ALL the way off my back about that!"
Glad you brought back the, "There's no way for me to check that," joke. I had actually been missing that one. 🤣
🤩🥰🤪😝🤑🤗🤫😋😂😂🤣😅😅 actual cringe comment, kid

Lol, I didn’t realize that he’d used that joke before in past videos! There’s no way for me to check that though
@@andrewebenezer Bummer
Glad to see Ryan covering that weird year where Hollywood told us Sam Worthington was their biggest star and we all went along with it until we didn't.
Stop trying to make Sam Worthington happen Gretchen, Sam Worthington is not going to happen.
Well, at least it wasn't quite as migraine-inducing as watching "Kingdom of Heaven" try (and royally fail) to make a "leading man" out of Orlando Bloom. Ain't no more blood left to squeeze out of that stone, oy... >_

I've never seen this movie so I didn't know who they got to play Hades and I thought that the whole "someone who can play a dark lord" joke was going somewhere but when I actually saw Ralph Fiennes' face I laughed out loud; perfection.
Yeah. I had no idea where it was going either, until it showed Mr. Voldemort himself.

I laughed at the part when the desert people gave Perseus a shield made of scorpion because it was “harder than steel”….10 minutes after stabbing one to death.
They actually said "harder than steel"? Even though the characters are using bronze swords?

Hades is always portrayed as evil, but he’s very different from Satan. He’s no better or worse than Zeus - who does a lot of terrible stuff himself. He’s simply lord of the underworld, because that’s his purpose. Some souls are punished, but he’s lord over the souls of everyone else too.
Isn't Hades the most chill god out of the three brothers?
@@revan1202 yup Posseidon is the more "evil" of them, because they feared the sea.
@@revan1202 the only god who asks for consent
@@jeambeam3173 would you mind elaborating on that? It sounds interesting
technically he is the smarter more responsible older brother doing the shit job of the gods, while Zeus is the jock playboy knocking women up left and right and doing a shit job raising/leading the rest of the gods
there are SEVERAL stories that kinda make Hades seem independent of good or evil, he is not either
4:47 "by being the main character" is pretty much THE explanation for every movie hero who suddenly gains a skill.
Even has its own name. “New powers as the plot demands”
Or “Because he read the script!”
@@brandoncastellano1858 It's called a Mary Sue. But only if the character is female. "Boys will be boys" & "hero's journey" & that. Cos people are the worst.
Especially ones played by Sam Worthington
So glad you mentioned Medusa's messed up situation. In EVERY version, she ONLY kills people who break into HER home that they have to go out of their way to find. Whether she was turned into a monster by Athena or born one, she literally just chills at home and people bother her for shits and giggles lmao
And for that first backstory option, she's also a rape victim cursed for being raped who is just trying to stay the fuck away from humanity.
And they're actually coming to decapitate her so she's really just defending herself
she sounds like she just seems like a creature that just wants to spend her days living alone not bothering anyone with her terrifying power unless of course they seek her out and try to kill her, seems like its more of a case like where when animals who are just minding their own biusness get randomly hunted because they are either hunted for sport or humans are hunting them because they are afraid of them despite the fact deaths to that animal is exeptionally rare like in the case of sharks, we murder millions of sharks a year and yet they only kill like 5 or 10 of us a year
Yeah, that’s always a big problem I have with stories featuring Medusa.
At best, she’s defending herself; at worst, she’s a victim of horrible circumstance, and some stories *insist* on making her a horrible victim.
What’s even sadder is that I only know of two stories where Medusa is portrayed more favorably-Disney’s Hercules: The Animated Series (where she does get a happy ending, but doesn’t become a main character), and (I kid you not) an ASMR RP series by Macalda Reye called “Meeting A Modern Medusa.”
Which… I mean, I like ASMR RPs, and I recommend checking that one out because it gives her story some justice, but that’s still much too low for a character like her…
Honestly, I’d pay money for a reimagining of the original story where she becomes a hero or at least helps Perseus and gets to live in peace afterward.
@@psionicsknight6651 there has been a series where modern people get stranded ina fantasy land were gods also run around and mostly are just people, as well as most monsters. they did well in giving them personalities and agendas, though too many things were silly or ended up unexplained.
there they found Medusa, and managed to explain to her what they wanted before Medusa could decide to fight another fight. her petrifying powers were then negated by placing a Ray Ban on her pretty face... as far as I remember she played a role in things afterwards.
If there's Ralph Fienes and Liam Neeson in the same movie, how are we supposed to tell them apart? They're like Ryan and George.
Ryan’s watch and subscribe endings are getting more chaotic and I love it 😂
It's like someone has a gun pointed at his head lmao.
My favorite so far is "ya hearin me? i hope you cried." not sure that one can be topped but ve shall see
@@claystrohman which video is that from?
"I hope it made you laugh, I hope it made you cry...I hope. It made. You CRY!"

I would really love a pitch meeting about Eragon. I was always curious about what happened there
There's a "just-the-jokes" Rifftrax for that movie. It's hilarious.
I think it’s a bit too obscure for Pitch Meeting
My whole family were fans of the books. -My brother and I went to see the movie in theaters and when it was over we agreed to aggressively pretend like we'd seen Casino Royale instead, so we didn't have to explain how bad it was- -I mean, no we didn't.
Nobody knows
@@brianhenry7348 Me and my brother saw the movie too. We agreed it had the exact same set up as star wars.
I have had a very stressful day to the point that I have taken my anti anxiety meds. I thought I was going to cry from the stress, but less than 30 seconds into this video I am smiling. It's not the meds. They haven't had time to work. You SIR are a national treasure. I'm sure your work saves lives. A blessing on your head.
How lovely of you to share this with Ryan!
A bit much but ok… Good feelings are good… 👍🏼
"Well, it certainly sounds like a movie!" You got that right.
What bothers me is that even when the town knew they had ten days before the kraken arrives no one thought of escaping to another city.
Moving is such a hassle.
@@thebolas000 not when your life depends on it, it won’t.
Moving to another town? Unthinkable! Wha next? You gon tell me some dude will show up and somehow defeat the kraken?
@@FilmStrandPictures Ah yes, because there's so many options to run to in ancient Greece. I'm sure other major cities will accept the people who decided to reject the gods
Hey shut up
"We're gonna say all the Titans are dead." And the hysterical laughing begins... and doesn't stop until the end. So I have to watch it again, which is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Rewatching Pitch Meetings is tight!
The 1981 Clash was an absolute epic. This one was… oh jeez.
Agreed so much.
Every Ray harryhausen fans ever
Well it got us the "unleash the Kraken" meme so there's that
And they missed the opportunity to use the so much better title "Clash of everyone except the Titans" xD
Andromeda is in this film ;)
"Well she didn't and now they're dead" that part hit pretty hard.
Stone cold dead.
Sam Worthington being in the franchise with the best use of 3D as well as the movie with one of the worst uses of 3D is so wild
Well he has to be. It's not like he's capable of playing a 3D character on his own!
@@antiochus87 good one 😂
Just Sam Worthington being in multiple movie franchises is wild.
He was in Pacific Rim??
@@Steelburgh You're thinking of the equally-forgettable-yet-inexplicably-popular-a-decade-ago Charlie Hunnam
Shiny Liams are tight is something I never expected to hear in my life. Thank you for always being absolutely random, Ryan. 😭
“Is the Kraken in Greek mythology?”
“There’s literally no way for me to check that” 😂😂☠️
Ryan George is the movie critic we all needed and deserve!
I'm starting to realize how much Hollywood loves the word _Titan._
Subjects of Ymir
Yeah it super easy Barely an inconvenience
Titans are tight.
Fun fact about Medusa, her tragic backstory has literally no basis is Greek mythology and the earliest it shows up is in Ovid’s Metamorphosis, a Roman source.
Poetry retroactively tying your culture into the culture you're trying to appropriate is TIGHT.
I am going to have you get all the way off my Greek mythology back right now.
Oooooh really ?
hey shut up
There is a bit more to it than that. The elements were always there and Ovid didn’t strictly retcon or make things up. He just gave it a different perspective, which, if the pattern holds, he wasn’t actually the first to do so. A lot of writings and plays are lost to us, but the pattern of looking at the same story through a different lens is certainly well established in the Greek mythos, from Prometheus to Medea, we actually see this at play. Ovid is certainly the most visible and the best at it. His skill at writing is absurdly and annoyingly good. So, he’s the first that we have that fully reimagines the story, but there’s nothing to indicate he was truly the first. We’re also talking about a myth that arose during the Greek Dark Age after the Bronze Age collapse and was codified in the 700s or 600s BC while Ovid writes around the turn of the millennium. Even in 300 years in Greece myths and stories change radically, let alone up to 700 years of oral, poetic, and prose tradition
Ah yes, Hades using his traditional weapon, the sea monster. Seems like kinda a lot of responsibility for him to handle alongside the underworld - maybe he and Zeus should advertise for another King to split their powers with, a third amigo if you will. Pity no one like that exists.
It's like the writers of this movie just took mythologies from many cultures and just said they're Greek
Honestly, the whole thing with Zeus getting someone else to stop something he did is literally his bread and butter. There are so many Greek myths of Zeus getting others to stop things he did 😂😂
I remember seeing this on the big screen way back when. My favorite part was towards the end. I don't remember what was happening in the movie, but two guys in the theatre stood up and yelled, "THAT'S IT, I'M DONE!" and stormed out in anger.
what, they shouted that in perfect unison?
@@slyasleep Nah, one actually yelled "THAT'S DONE!", and the other "I'M IT!"
@@defeqel6537 that sounds more likely. What a tune.
When they ride the Giant Scorpions but want to call out the original for The Mechanical Owl.
@@slyasleep Yes. They also performed a choreographed dance on the way out.
Thank you for bringing up the tragedy of Medusa
I think too many people think she’s just the “evil snake hair lady”
I literally just learned about all that, just by wondering what messed up story he's talking about. I'm shook
Well, only in Ovid's telling of the myth does she have a tragic story. Most Greco-Roman depictions of Medusa paint her as born a monster, like the otehr gorgons. Ovid's telling isn't 'wrong' in any sense but it is strongly divergent with all the other sources which talk about Medusa and Perseus.
Except that interpretation was not the original myth. In the original she really was the evil snake hair lady. The version you’re thinking of came from a guy with a anti authority streak, whose versions of the stories portrayed the gods as more callous.
Medusa is in an odd situation. Most of the original versions of the myth portray her as one of the three Gorgon sisters. The poet Ovid might be the first story of how she was raped in a temple.
Playing Devil's Advocate for a sec; what does it matter to this story? She's a fictional character, so it's not like a real human is being slandered. What does it matter if a fictional character is being retold in a new way?
That subtle nod of hiring Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort's actor) was genius
LOVING Writer Guy's choice of shirt for this pitch.
The timeless friendship of whale and panda. . . Most excellent.
👌✨
Originally Medusa was just one of a bunch of similar monsters, years later Ovid wrote his own version where she became a tragic figure cursed by the gods and since this is the most popular version, people assume it’s the definitive and not ancient fan fiction
Even something recent like Athurian mythology is without a single canon source.
To be fair, pretty much all of mythology is just built by a succession of ancient fan fictions added on top of each others.
@@andeolevain We're doing it even now with our own western mythology
Worth noting this story also doesn’t fit into the original story. There are three gorgons, all of whom are sisters. It doesn’t make sense that they were changed too
Even the Medusa who wasn't a rape victim just wanted for her and her sisters to be left alone.
Ah man, I was hoping this would be a Pitch Meeting for the old 1980’s version of the movie. Oh well, I’m sure he’ll get to that one eventually. Pitch away Screenwiter!!!
Disappointing boomers is TIGHT!
That was good though.
I'm just kidding, no it wasn't.
I still remember the bath scene with Princess Andromeda, because someone in the audience yelled out “Turn around!”.
Wow. I didn't know an important plot point from Eternals movie, was based on "Clash of the Titans."
Thankful for Ryan George. Pitch Meetings, arguably the best UA-cam channel on planet, should be popping past 1 million subscribers any day now! (Hint hint for any non-subscribers)
I was so excited for this movie to come out in theatres. I was extremely disappointed in the product but at the time couldn’t quite understand all the reasons why. Thank you Mr George for such a marvellous breakdown and an greater understanding of my own psyche.
I look forward to every pitch meeting, they are so awesome. Many thanks.
He should have done it on the original movie 😂
wow. you're the only one
I love that your expressions are getting more and more animated.
You're holding nothing back, and I love every second of it.
That quick "hey shut up" always gets me, lol
Great pitch meeting (as usual)
I think making a Glass Onion knives out pitch meeting would be tight!
Ohhh, fully enjoying pitch meetings for a movie you've never heard of is TIGHT
🤣
Yeyeye
There's a sequel btw so we might get a pitch meeting for that too.
How...old are you ? I feel old now.
Not to mention this is a remake. There is an older version that you have never heard of 😂
"What about his dead family?"
"Nah"
Transcribing funny dialogues is tight!
Awww you missed the signature “I need you to get all the way of my back about ‘insert whatever’ “😂
The movie reads like a video game:
Objective: Acquire Medusa's head
Oh my gosh, I forgot that kraken is from Norse mythology! Ryan is very good at making people realize things.
Yes and no... many cultures had the giant octo/squid monster in it... they just didn't use the word "Kraken".. but it was in all sorts of myths...
And the word Kraken was used for many giant sea monsters... not just the Octo/Squid monster...
Yeah, in Greek mythology the monster is named Cetus, and it's either a giant sea serpent or a giant monster with the head of a boar (or hound) and the body of a whale.
Well, the actual Ancient Greek mythology monster Cetus does not sound as cool.
'Kraken' is one letter different from the Norse word, 'draken', one of their names for 'dragon' (yes, Kim Possible's arch-foe is Dr Dragon).
@@Macrochenia Never heard of Cetus having the head of a boar. Heard that 'orc' could be a name for a sea monster that was a serpent with a boar's head. The orc that Tolkien came up with is from the 'orceas' in the Beowulf poem describing flesh-eaters that are related to Grendel.
5:27 There's literally no other youtube channel whose outros I watch every single time because they're always just as entertaining as the video itself. Your comedic mind really is a treasure, dude; keep doing what you're doing, you make a lot of people's shitty days way better.
This is a movie I saw and theaters as a kid and it totally blew my mind. Have not seen it again since
“I hope next week sucks but then the one after is good.”
See this is why I can’t stop any of Ryan’s videos even when I think they’re basically over
Shame you didn't mention the way they just chucked Bubo the owl inn the bin.
The classic Greek dramatic formula: a love story between MAIN CHARACTER and PRETTY EXPOSITION LADY. Echoes throughout all Western art.
I saved 2 hours of my life never watching this film and had it broken down in 5 min....thank you sir!
This is what we loved Pitch Meetings for originally, not every one has to be the newest blockbuster lol this was a OG classic from the start 😂 do Meet The Parents or Dr. Dolittle next
Wasn't there a sequel to this? I'd love to see a pitch meeting for that
wrath of the gods. yeah I would love to see that one too. 😂
@@fejkpirat5118 for the lack of them the movie should be called that. but it's "Titans" once again 🤣🤣
Yeah, it's called "Another Clash Of The Titans (you know, if there were any)".
The person naming it was the same who did the CGI, so... 🤷
Yes, and there was an actual Titan in it! Only one, but still...
Being on youtube exactly when a new Pitch Meeting gets posted is TIGHT
Same lol I literally pulled my phone out my pocket as the notification came through.
"Don't Pay the Boat Operator Guy" is my favorite Chris de Burgh song.
Finally someone on the more mainstream side of youtube pointed out that kraken is not from Greek mythology.
Oh man. What a throwback! I remember watching this movie in a constant state of "???". But Also, Mads Mikkelsen. So, not all bad ha. Great video as always!
1:21 Also The Kraken would be under Poseidon's domain, not Hades'
I can't believe this movie is 13 years old.
Id love to see a pitch meeting for 1980's Robocop
But that movie is like good though
Producer guy: "So its gonna be hard to do a pitch meeting for a good movie."
Writer guy: "Its gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience."
Hahaha! You're right it's a classic. However if I could pick anyone to do a commentary on it, it would be Ryan George!!
Nah, I want him to do the 2016 robocop. Ryan shines most when he does bad movies.
Watching a pitch meeting before watching the movie is TIGHT!!!
Watching a Pitch Meeting and then never watching the movie is double TIGHT! TIGHT inception is _TIGHT!_
oh really
Nope! It's only acceptable if you know you will never watch the movie. Like Twilight.
"Well, it sounds like a movie" I almost had a heart attack. Hahahahaha
I had forgotten that this movie existed. I remember being excited for it in high school, watching it, and absolutely hating the film. I couldn’t remember why I hated it but Ryan reminded so thanks Ry-Guy.
"So who do we get to play Hades?"
"I don't know, whatever actor comes to mind as somebody who could play, like, you know, a dark lord with mystical powers..."
"We'll figure something out."

You need to do a Pitch meeting for Rocky Horror Picture Show! It would be hilarious to see the writer blow the producers mind!!!
Taking a step to the right is tight!!!
@@stormcrow6986 I see why'd you say that, but I can't help but think _Rocky Horror_ has so many more opportunities for that phrase to exude cringe that it'd be a waste to blow it on a "Time Warp" reference.
It could go another way, too: the writer (evoking Brad Major) just wants to do a conventional science-fiction double-feature, and the producer keeps reading in sexual innuendo.
Fun fact: Richard O'Brien - Riff-Raff AND the original playwright AND soundtrack composer - also voiced the father on Phineas and Ferb.
Leave Rocky Horror alone!! I love it & don't want any ridiculousness pointed out. It's perfection!
"But why do the Time Warp _again?_ When did we do it the first time?"
"How'd he know how to do that?"
"By being the main character!"
Hahahaha the completely genuine curiosity of producer guy asking “Who’s Very Pretty Exposition Lady?” Lmao
Just to reassure everyone - Medusa was born a gorgon (and NOT a victim of SA) in all versions except for the one by the Roman poet Ovid. Because Ovid's whole deal was that he saw the gods as petty a-holes and all his re-tellings were to illustrate that.
So people can choose to find meaning in the story as one of surviving SA if they want. But you can also just see her and her sisters through the original meaning of some big ol' monsters with cool powers, and not feel bad about that.
Wow. People care a lot about obscure fictional people.
@@Arigator2 it's easier than caring about real people.
actually its both,theres a version of being a victim of SA and theres the version of always being a gorgon.
@@zeropen0719 Yes, that's what the original comment is saying.

Congrats on 1 Mil! 👏🏾
The fastest path from elation to despair is finding out Pitch Meeting is doing Clash of the Titans, but not the 1981 classic Clash of the Titans.
I hereby reiterate my weekly request for a Fifth Element pitch!
The writing on this one is very-special. Idk who was involved in this one but it's super fresh.
3:52 ""Well she didn't and now they're dead."
Yeah, it's one of those plot holes that goes over your head until pointed out and then you can't stop thinking about it
With the Kraken, I was hoping for a hockey joke
This is actually quite nice timing, as our household started a tradition of spending the month of January watching whatever Liam Neeson movies we can get our hands on.

This movie was ahead of its time. In the way that every movie made in the last three years looks just like it.
"Is the kraken from Greek mythology?"
"There's literally no way for me to check that."
Kraken apparently is Scandinavian mythology. I dimly remember the original one due to watching it in mythology class in 12th grade...as well as Jason and the Argonauts.
I actually watched this movie back in the day, and yet almost every plot point Screenwriter Guy describes came as a surprise to me.
I watched the movie half-comatose on a plane.
Couldn't remember a single thing.
I've only seen the original, and not since this one came out... and I still recognized almost half the plot points Ryan mentioned.
Huh.
I forced this movie out of my memory too
That feeling when Ryan wishes that my next week sucks but the one after is good, and I already know next week is going to suck because of medical stuff but the week after will indeed be better... Thanks, Ryan. Good timing on those wishes for my future! :)
"Most eye-gouging use of 3-D in an action movie!" That's quite an award! 😆
Thanks for your videos… they’re always put a smile on my face 😊
The plot of the movie does in fairness make slightly more sense than the actual story of Perseus. Those Greek myths were pretty out there.
This was a junior high school book report with big budget effects and a sequel
Actual story of Perseus is much better, it's more personal and conflicting involving safety of Perseus's own mother as well as lots of adventure. And the best part is that in there Hades is an ally while Poseidon is the villain releasing the cetus monster to kill Andromeda.
Ohh *yes!!* My band name is now Sudden Giant Blood Scorpions! And the tracks on the album will be titled:
-Pretty Exposition, Lady
-Use These (as Little Horsies)
-All The Ugly Witches
-Don't Believe Oracles
-Hey Shaddap
-Sword From Zeus Isn't Just a Euphemism
-"Oh No!!!!"
-Know How To Tame (feat. These Djinn People)
.......and many more!
To be fair, I didn't even know this remake existed.
I don't think I've seen 90% of the movies the Pitch Meetings are about but I never miss one 😁
It's really strange that you watch almost zero movies... Missing out on so much in your life :(
Congratulations..... *Nobody Cares*
@@cenciende9401 I watch a lot of movies, just not the ones in the Pitch Meetings. New movies don't seem to interest me and I end up watching a lot of older ones.
@@rinraiden couldn't agree more. I watch new stuff to torture myself and then old ones to remember why movies are worth it... and I never miss a pitch meeting even though I haven't seen 90% of them.
Thank you for releasing... this video.
You're always Kraken me up.
Oh, the pun, the pun 🤢🤮😉
3:14 Not really Ryan, in Greek mythology she was always an evil monster since birth. It was actually the Roman writer Ovid who lived in the 1st century AD who came up with a tragic backstory for Medusa as a critique of the Roman government.
One of the best in a long time! Glad you did one on one thT wasn't in the headlines but you clearly had a lot to say about ! So hilarious!
My favourite thing about this movie is that Nanny McPhee is in it. I think Emma Thompson said in an interview that they were filming in studios next to each other and she paid Liam Neeson a visit and hid behind his throne in a scene. The camera was on Fiennes but anyway.
