Clash of the Titans has many things I love but at the same time causes frustration. The biggest issue is how far the story veers off from the tale of Perseus which has been one of my favorites since childhood. This gets to the point where Greek mythology is such a superficial element it feels wrong calling this an adaptation. There’s Charon, who has a boat and needs a coin, but here he’s a skeleton and does not transport souls to the Underworld. There’s Pegasus who’s a flying horse, but he is not born out of Medusa’s blood etc. As someone who has always wanted an adaptation of the myth I am disappointed such a great opportunity was lost. Early 80s were the best time for one. Practical effects and actors are perfect, but the plot is not.

"It's really in the eye of the beholder whether that's something you want to buy into." The account, "War on Fakes," was created on February 24, the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" and troops began invading Ukraine. The page is rife with disinformation, according to The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which studies digital extremism and published a report examining the channel. "He has kind of an old-school cyber-libertarian world view where technology is there to set you free," Maréchal said. The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides.
