One Titan, Two Titan, three Titan, four....


If Zeus refers to the Kraken as the "last of the Titans", why does one of the witches say "a Titan against a Titan!" when referring to Medusa's head being used against it? Not quite the last Titan, eh?

Understood, I was just pointing out a potential goof.

thought that one Titan was more than enough his side of Hades,
and that the unbecoming Medusa was safely put away on the other side.

The only titans where the decedents of Gaia and Uranus. Medusa was born mortal and then became a titan. she was actually a gorgon, i think, but for this movies purposes she was a titan. or i should say BECAME a titan. You know this already but im just saying in my head I assumed the kranken was the last ORIGINAL titan (descendant of Gaia and Uranus). And medusa was an "honorary-titan".

My explanation was always that the witches were either ignorant on the meaning of the term, or they used it in the context of having titanic power.

Absolutely correct... I love this movie, but I found it sort of funny that there were no actual Titans in it... these gods were Olympians, and Medusa was, as you said, a Gorgon.

... the hardest thing in this world is to live in it...

Hahaha! There's no Titans in this movie just as there was no Cane in Citizen Kane!

There were no actual Titans in this movie. I think the witches were using "titans" in the superlative sense.
