Man I love how Athena used her goddess of wisdom and strategy so well. She figure things out so quickly I was relieved. I appreciate how the judges did judge their father fairly too.

Loved season 2. Season 1 was solid overall but felt lacking at times, a 7.5/10. Season 2 felt much more intimate and emotionally engrossing, 9.3/10. I hope the creators get to continue with their vision of a five season story arc!

Oh and me saying Hades is the antagonist, I mean from a writing point of view he kinda is. He lowkey orchestrated Seraphim's transformation in S1 and gave him orders in S2. Like I'm not saying he is the bad guy, but he kinda is the biggest opposing driving force in the show. Like he isn't evil, honestly he seems more morally good than Demeter. But in the same way in Death Note, L (who is the good guy) is the antagonist to Light (the bad guy), Hades (and Seraphim) are the opposing force(s) for Heron. Honestly, it's a bit refreshing to have an antagonist who isn't straight up evil. That just makes them teaming up in the next season against Typhon much more believable.

I really think they'll work to redeem Hades. He deserves his happily ever after with his wife. Dude's done everything right. Unlike his brothers, he's played by the rules. He's been fair (as he keeps reiterating, with nobody arguing) and yet all the gods still treat him with suspicion even after they're the ones who screwed him over. You'd think he'd get a proper redemption arc at that point.

The part of the ending I hate was Hades killing Heron and particularly what led to it. Heron saying they need to bring back order without acknowledging the flaws of the system SUCKED. Like not to bring PJO but this would've been liked if in The Last Olympian, Percy didn't ask the gods to treat their demigod children better, that Luke Castellan's motivation for wanting better treatment was completely irrational. And the thing is, Heron already had misgivings about the gods after being told that the gods are more flawed than they think, I think he even mentions this to Alexia at some point. So for him to just say yeah we need to bring back order and go back to exactly the way things were, it just, it just drives me mad ngl. And I can't help but think, narratively this is because while Heron might have acknowledged that gods are flawed, I don't think this extended to the Perfect image of Zeus. Like of course he would go back to the status quo, the very same status quo the Perfect Zeus maintained.

issue was how hades was going about "fixing it" as can see persephone leaving him as he is doing more harm then wanting to value life. Though he got his wish now it seems as thing with gods was they all had flaws but didnt want to admit it and shift blame on somthing else before admitting it was them. zeus in this season kinda actually admitted his flaws openly instead shifting blame which i respect him for more.

We need season 3 asap not willing to wait another 3 years for it 💀

I think season 3 is going to be a story of the mad Titan. And then what they're going to do is at the end they're going to go to the Battle of the gods versus the Titans

See y’all in 2030 for season 3

As a bit of further information, the creators of the show have also teased a story centering on the gorgon Medusa. They talk about how they will tweak the story so that Athena didn't punish her but rather blessed her with the ability to turn men to stone with a gaze, insuring that she is never assaulted again.

I can't wait to see the Judges verdict on Zeus, since they sent him to Tarturus pending the outcome of Heron's Trial.

Guess they’re going to have to bring Heron and Zeus back to deal with the fallout.

I feel like they just threw in Seraphim’s backstory into this season just so he’ll have something in common with hades and agree to help him . Which really annoyed me bc where tf did gorgo come from 😑

Well yes, they're mythological characters. But its worth considering that the show leaves out any number of prominent divine characters. Even in terms of Hades' court and associated characters. And Hades' third child in myth (though Makaria as a Hades daughter is perhaps more obscure than those two). I just think they were namedropped because its clear Zagreus (and now Melinoe) have much more popular presence due to the game.

Personally, I’m glad the human characters are taking more of a back seat. They are less interesting. I’ve heard the creators say in interviews that they needed to create new characters in the world of Greek mythology to get anyone interested in buying the show. Wonder if it was always the plan to sell the new characters, but then pivot more to the gods later.

I do hope this show gets another season though because this is a story that needs continuing. I do take your point about Zeus though. There's something odd about the dichotomy of his philandering being disgusting against the idea that he's presented as this wise and noble being. But there's something enticing about it to me too. He's neither perfect, but nor do his flaws necessarily mean he's "bad." I just need to dwell on it a bit more. And maybe this comes down to the writers trying to do too much with the limits of their media and writing space.

While I love Blood of Zeus and all of its historical references to Greek mythology, I couldn't help but feel they ran into a major storytelling issue in regards to Zeus' death. Zeus death felt less impactful because the gods and goddesses could still very much so contact him in the underworld/Tartarus. While I understand it's to keep it accurate to lore, it didn't feel like Zeus died -- it felt more like he was under house arrest 😅 Normally, when a significant character dies, his or her death could be felt by the other characters and the plot and emotions are shaped that way by the impact of their demise. Here, in Blood of Zeus, Zeus very much so can communicate with his beloved ones as what as -- if you will -- what the modern world would refer to as a "ghost". I don't know. I feel if they bring Zeus back, which they most likely will, it just takes away his sacrifice from season one (which I loved) and kind of make it feel... redundant? Then, we will all know gods can die and come back; there wouldn't really be tragedy or any stakes involved as a result

Same. The exposition dump of all of that was annoying after awhile. I couldn't believe how much of this season went to exposition and explaining events from the past, as opposed to active event storytelling.

I know it is diffcult to have coin purse with you but sometimes i wonder why the main team never provides some coin to the corspes they meet even when hermes litterly stand before them to collect the souls they could ask him to wait for a second.

Need to put mire greece mitology

This season is slow as molasses and not really interesting story wise or even animation wise. Too many static scenes

All of them are Corrupt even Gaia.

They turned demeter into the worst baddy😅

God of war is coming
