Ahahahahaha what!

So the director of the remake of Clash of the Titans is a Saint Seiya fan.

Let's repeat that again!

SAINT SEIYA FAN

..............Should I laugh until my sides hurt or be very terrified he might've been influenced by it? I MEAN, it's not like the original movie is that faithful or anything, but Saint Seiya takes the cake in waitwhut.

But the point of making this post isn't talking about a bad movie based on a so-bad-it's-good cheesy cult movie from 1986. It's showing that they got Kurumada to make manga posters for the film in Japan! Scans here.

...Dude, that guy doesn't look like Sam Worthington at all XDDDDDD This is like being asked to draw a space marine in a Greek armor, and instead you give them a JRPG shounentard. If anything, the stuck-in-the-80's hairdo makes me think this is fanart for the original and not this one.

*aaaaaaand insert several jokes about pegasus and Andromeda and Hades (!?) here, of course*

ETA: From Misión Tokyo: "Last week, during the premiere of the remake of Clash of the Titans, director Louis Letterrier declared he did a tribute to Saint Seiya in the film, having the Olympians to wear armors like in the original story of Masami Kurumada." Well, that's CotT's excuse, but what's Percy Jackson's?

It's fitting AND terrifying all at once! Man, now I want to watch this trainwreck the more to MST some Saint Seiya jokes on this.

ETA: oh, and the director has the Olympians wearing armors as a tribute and some shit.

Lo sé, lo siento :( Es que el WTF había que compartirlo. Y el meta de un tipo haciendo una mala adaptación de una mala adaptación de un mito gustándole esta vaina tiene un sentido... más séptimo sentido que sentido común, tho

Pffft, seguro, no hay que negarle el WTF al universo. XD Pero claramente esta serie todavía me trauma. Wow. La verdad, culpo a CLAMP. Si no fueran tan Kurumada-escas seguro ya me había olvidado que existían estos tarados.
