One Thing In Movies/shows/books That Always Upsets Me Is When They Use The Wrong Names When In Reference

One thing in movies/shows/books that always upsets me is when they use the wrong names when in reference to Primordials/Giants/Titans/Gods/Demigods/Legacies.

It's such a specific thing to get upset about, but it upsets me nonetheless.

Like, when they focus on Greek myths and use 'Hercules' instead of 'Heracles' or 'Cupid' instead of 'Eros' or referring to Hades as the God of the Dead. He's the God of the Underworld. Thanatos is the personification/God of Death.

Or when the focus is Roman and people forget that Pluto is not only the God of the Dead, but also the God of Wealth and Agriculture.

Another is when the focus is Norse and suddenly, Loki isn't messing with people. Or Hella is Loki and Thor's sister instead of Loki's daughter. Also, Norse Gods *can* be killed in combat. Other Pantheons cannot.

Lets not forget that all of the Creation Myths are botched in some way or another. Same with Destruction Myths.

Anyway, I do love a lot of media pertaining to the different Pantheons (like Rick Riordan's stuff and Disney's Hercules) but that doesn't mean that the tiny little nitpicks don't get me riled up.

(Another thing that upsets me is when everyone conveniently forgets that pretty much every deity in every Pantheon holds more than one position)

Should I link my AO3 here?

Idk if y'all'd be interested in other things I wrote, though.

Writing dc x dp here has given me the chance to explore new characters and stories, so that's been fun.

Idk. Lemme know what y'all think

I'd like to add something while I'm watching the movie.

Who's gonna tell the kids that Batman almost won?

Who's gonna tell them that he stopped just short of killing him because their mothers share a name? (Martha Kent and Martha Wayne)

(I'd like to also add that it was Lois who got between them. Wonder Woman stops them in Justice League, not Dawn of Justice)

(Update: I am an idiot that needs to finish watching the movie before speaking, but my point still stands)

Do you guys think that the kids know Batman and Superman fought each other (to the death, basically) before the Justice League?

Like

Do the kids know that their respective dads tried to kill each other once upon a time? Do they know that Wonder Woman almost couldn't stop them?

(I am, ofc, talking about Batman vs. Superman)

(correct me if I'm wrong, btw, it's been a minute since I last watched the movie)
