At least someone is talking about this show.

[@gabemassey9344]

"Who doesn't love a good over the top villain?"I agree.

[@TheHeroOfTomorrow]

To be fair, the story of Hades and Persephone being an actual loving couple was done better in The Dresden Files--but at least they acknowledge the myth there.

[@kingofmonsters14]

well, with so many versions of greek characters, there had to be at least one where Hades and Persephone are madly in love with each other. it was just a matter of when, not if

[@alexjewett7455]

Well, them being an actually healthy and loving couple is pretty mythically accurate.

[@jeffreygao3956]

Hades isn’t even that evil anyway.

[@takana5927]

Artemis don't have kids and Teseo don't have telekinetic powers, Teresa is a copy of Jean Grey.

[@conmara6492]

Comparing this show to the movie version of Percy Jackson is a little unfair. The books were pretty good and stays pretty true to the original Greek myths.

[@jeffreygao3956]

Pretty good? Hah! They’re amazing!

[@Recessbiru]

So Neil is pretty muchly teenage human version of Gladstone Gander.

[@jeffreygao3956]

1:35 It’s clarified that Atlanta’s her ancestor. This is a pretty good show!

[@nazishhussain2712]

I think this show is underrated

[@SuperSongbird21]

12:29 Here's a short version - Harmonia married Cadmus (the first king of Athens), he got the gods mad at him and they turned him into a snake. But Harmonia still loved him, so he came back to her and they started making out and this kinda grossed out the gods, so they turned Harmonia into a snake too. It's messed up, but so's a lot of Greek mythology.

[@Mburk000]

Theirs actually three main levels of the underworld. Elysium: This is a great place for heroes a kind of mt.olympus pt.02. You can only get in if you were a hero or someone extraordinary. Elysium was beautiful and was the closest a mortal could get to paradise. Asphodel Meadows: While Elysium was a paradise Asphodel meadows was essentially a second coming of earth. It has its beautiful parts and its not so beautiful parts. It wasn't paradise but it wasn't hell either it was in-between. And as such ordinary people, Those who while didn't commit any bad deeds didn't do anything heroic or extraordinary enough to get up into Elysium. (also you have an option of rebirth here if you are rebirthed 3 times and all three lifetimes you end back up on the Asphodel meadows you can go up to the Elysium) The Fields of Punishment: Finally theirs the places where bad people go. if you've committed atrocious crimes such as murder and what not you go here and there are different levels for what you did. Finally, Hades didn't decide where you went. Nor did one individual judge. They're where three other beings who were originally mortal sons of Zeus but where rewarded after helping with the bringing of law and order on earth; Aeacus, Minos, and Rhadamanthys. When you died these three would judge your life and decide which level of the underworld you would enter. They would discuss it and if the first two came to an agreement than you were whisked away to that level if theirs a disagreement the third dude came into and was essentially the tiebreaker. One essential thing to remember is that a lot of greek cultures didn't see death as the end of life more as though a continuation of life. Also, Another important thing to remember about Greek myth is that theirs always multiple versions of the same story and depending on which version you choose to believe can change your view on the Greek pantheon entirely. One myth states Persephone was kidnapped another stated that it was more of an eloping kind of deal. I tend to follow the second one more often than the first because Hades is actually a pretty decent laid back dude especially when you compare him to his brothers Zeus and Poseidon. (Also a total nerd that named cebrise his three-headed dog spot). A lot of the myth that involve hades and Persephone especially the ones with them as a side character shows a pretty equal relationship with hades listening to what Persephone has to say and doing stuff for her simply because she asked.

[@daveassanowicz186]

I discovered Class of the Titans on Qubo too. have you ever done a video on Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century?

[@laurasaldanagerrero9361]

Yes

[@Kayabug._]

Same I discovered those shows on qubo too

[@ethanhernandez3663]

Rest In Peace Qubo

[@christiangonzalez5681]

Same

[@jeffreygao3956]

This show’s on streaming. Thank you Amazon Prime.

[@TheDeldiz]

How does Artemis even have a descendant? She was the goddess of the hunt and VIRGINITY. She pledged to remain forever chaste.

[@JesusPerez-pe8vk]

Welllll they could virgin births technically lkke how Athena came out of Zeuses head. But either way they changed the canon to the other Greek woman

[@bemiatto67]

She's supposed to be a descendant of Atalanta, but someone screwed up somewhere on title sequence

[@jeffreygao3956]

The Hunters are sort of Artemis’ adopted daughters.

[@calsiferblueberry]

i love this show! its been years since ive heard of it!!!!

[@travisgrenier8357]

This version of cronos definitely has good tastes with that suit

[@cupcakefairy87]

Am I the only one who thinks Cronus looks like Tony Stark?

[@JoesAnimationHub]

I get more vibes of "The Master" from Doctor Who myself... think about it, god of time, goatee beard, dresses in black... the Master being a lord of time and having the same physical descriptions... the parallels are uncanny.

[@LeisureSuitLuis]

My guy, this is exactly how I found this series when I was about 12. I only found it engaging because it was a solid adaption of Greek Mythology despite some abysmal decisions. Just found it again on prime video. Ps: Theresa was a low key baddie

[@Xanegoh]

One of the reasons Cronus was such a great villain is because he was voiced by David Kaye. You know, Megatron from Beast Wars. He does such an amazing job at the magnificent bastard type of characters, casting him to play the show's big bad was truly the best.

[@teedup8995]

Yesss!

[@slowmoe1686]

Oh my god, Hercules is Gary Chalk Also I cringed when Rob said Disney "Got Hercules' look right". Honestly the fat man looks closer to the original artistic interpretations than Disney did.

[@dariusthurman8835]

I liked your review, yes I did see Class of the titans years ago on Qubo, now all the episodes are on KZbin, yes its very underrated.

[@jeffreygao3956]

And on Amazon Prime too.

[@kingofmonsters14]

thinking about it, Theseus was sorta psychic. nobody else had the clairvoyance to use string to mark their passage. (i swear, the ancients were dumb as rocks). and he apparently created the Commonwealth system, which is a primitive Democracy system to replace kingship, and founded Athens, which is of course is named after Athena, and she's supposed to be a really smart goddess. yeah, i can see why the writers would pick ESP to be his descendants power. as for Artemis and speed, you need to be pretty fast to catch some of the animals you'd find in Greece and surrounding municipalities like Turkey and Egypt. Cheetahs and Lions be fast beasts and you need to be as fast, if not faster, to chase them or run away. Add in Atalanta, who was pretty much the same, and yeah, Speed could've been a factor for hers. Narcissis..... yeah, i got nothing. i looked- dude had no special powers or deeds outside of his good looks, so they just pulled that out their asses. but seriously, they couldn't pick anyone else? Not Paris or Leonidas? guess they really needed a arrogant prick to round out the quota.

[@MezTZO]

David Kaye as Kronos? Awesome!

[@fandemusique4693]

3:18 fun fact, Artemis being Atlanta's ancestor was a mistake (said so by the author) , later it was said she was descendant of atalanta.

[@colterpollock6407]

You know what think of Hercules from Class of the Titans he looks like Frank DeTorre from Ozzy & Drix!

[@youngnigar525]

This vid brings back so many memories

[@hilariomendoza1784]

I used to stay up late and watch this because it was the only cool kids tv show we got on the channel called qubo.

[@redstonemecha7716]

If you want to watch "Class of The Titans" there is a youtube channel that has all the episodes. The channel is literally just the title of the show.

[@slowmoe1686]

I think they got Chronos and Cronus confused into the same person...

[@davishayden429]

I just realized this, but Cronos is voiced by David Kaye. He really is good at voicing intimidating yet hammy villains.

[@nicholasrodinos4701]

7:30 1 It's probably Canada being like 'Yeah we put gods in Canada, we're tired of being the butt of everyone's jokes.' 2 Why not put in Canada, if you know that Greek gods exist where are going to look first? So why not place gods somewhere that nobody would think of. 3 Greek legends can be arbitrary a really good example the Persephone myth. Why are there winter and fall months well Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and she ate 6 pomegranate seeds in Tartaros and Demeter makes it so when her daughter goes there for the 6 months of the year it's winter and fall. Just imagine some Ancient Greek kid being told this myth and just giving his dad the look like 'Really?' and then was probably raped because it was Ancient Greece and that shit kind of happened.

[@incorporated6387]

Underrated. How do you not have 1M subs.

[@fifinostalgia]

YEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!

[@Yopiwastaken]

Qubo shut down in February 😔

[@JarionSilverblades]

I really want to get a tailored suit and tell the tailor, "I need something that says kneel before me, with a hint of obey my every command."

[@eatatjoe]

That line is gold. Just gold, on a platter.

[@nathanblevins158]

It also nice to David keye as a villain. Every time I hear him I either think of megatron from beastwars or from armada.

[@Mammalmage]

Actually, if I read the wiki article right, Hercules was descended from Perseus on his mother's side.

[@jeffreygao3956]

So Zeus impregnated his great granddaughter?! Of course he would.

[@Maioly]

16:05 actually, there are multiple interpretations of that story, and some say the kidnapping and forced marriage was added later, to vilify hades a bit more some others paint it as being a rather more concensual thing, which is where I believe the show drew from

[@alexjewett7455]

In most versions, the kidnapping is almost entirely framed as Zeus's fault because he told Hades to do it.

[@southernheroesrock]

I just realized something, the guy voicing Archie here, also voices Archie Andrews in Archie's Weird Mysteries

[@southernheroesrock]

@Honey Goddess57 oh, sorry. Sounded familiar to me

[@babyboomer6272]

So.... Uh....... How long has it been since this shit was on.

[@MathieuLeblanc1991]

The series aired in reruns for years here

[@redstonemecha7716]

I actually saw the seventh episode first and when I saw Hercules I thought he was Neil's dad.

[@LordVanOskuro]

To be fair to Hades, he did not cheat on Persephone (that I know of). Plus he did give her Macaria, so something good came of it.

[@eclipselotus2348]

Qubo was the most goated channel

[@willlyon7129]

You're not familar with the Percy Jackson series?

[@kingofmonsters14]

with so many versions of greek characters, there had to be at least one where Hades and Persephone are madly in love with each other. it was just a matter of when, not if. and for the voice, if it isn't James Woods or Clancy Brown, i ain't interested. Hercules... well, they've been alive for thousands of years, right? and they're based in the America's, so of course some of them are gonna take up some of the mannerisms and lifestyles. And Christmas too? so does Jesus exist as well in this universe? .... now that i think about it, they should've done more seasons so they could tackle other myths and relgions. imagine seeing Herc with Thor and Amaterasu

[@ansalrajjames2229]

I need story of their after life....out of school after finishing the destiny

[@reaperproductions7058]

What about Ares, did he ever appear on the show

[@cupcakefairy87]

The Reaping Hopkins He did, he was like the teens personal trainer

[@snakes3425]

Yeah they do know Narcasus was the guy who was so in love with himself that he drowned in a lake trying to save his reflection from drowning

[@jeffreygao3956]

Maybe he was reborn for a new chance.

[@reaperproductions7058]

Were you talking about Shymalan's Last Airbender when you talked about Development because if you were talking about the show, you are dead

[@godoflight558]

on of ATLA (tv series) weakest parts was the romance

[@JesusPerez-pe8vk]

@@godoflight558 it was wholesome and well they were tweens so

[@reedschneider6587]

archie was always my favorite character 10:08

[@SuperSongbird21]

2:50 I guess being lucky would be very useful if you're a selfish coward who doesn't have any other heroic qualities. Why the hell did the gods think a descendant of Narcissus would be any use on this team?

[@bemiatto67]

I'm late but there's a theory going around that Neil is actually a reincarnation of Narcissus as a sort of second chance to be a good hero

[@foxb5974]

Qubo is were I found this

[@sandradermark8463]

oh YEeeeeahhhh!!! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😚😘😘😗😻CLASS OF THE FREAKING TITANS!!!!

[@SuperSongbird21]

Chronos seems to have been inspired by Duke Igthorn from "Gummi Bears"

[@lilesketit2226]

DO MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEERR CLASS OR THE TITAN'S

[@nathanblevins9870]

Ok to be honest the remake is not that bad. But I respect your opinion.

[@christiangonzalez5681]

Shouldn’t it be Heracles not Hercules since Hercules is Roman and Heracles is Greek

[@sandradermark8463]

Class of the Titans or Percy Jackson? Which one do u prefer???

[@171QA]

+Sandra Denmark Percy Jackson. The books, not the movies. Ugh, they haunt my nightmares.

[@seanoneil8073]

the books were made by a guy who do not know anything about greek myth and never know the term virgin is?

[@sanshiefilms5352]

Im watching right now the episode of the tablet of Prometheus

[@janejohnsen5369]

Hades looks like thanos....

[@ajerjavec4723]

well there is a descent of Perseus harry Perseus was the great grandfather of hercules on mom side but your it did not get talk about

[@perseusfvr1339]

Lmao I love class of the titans, since I was a kid a i got a big ornage book about greek myths from my school library So I understood class of the titans even as a lil kid

[@gagecrawley6223]

Hades sounds like Turl, from Battlefield Earth! 🤣

[@sharonpereira4501]

Earth is strange.

[@sandradermark8463]

Anyone else guessed who Mr Suez was???

[@crcoghill]

hmm~ hearing the history with the final three, i think i have better powers. hear me out: Neil: surprised he didn't get anything with mirrors. you know, reflection, reflecting light (it's more useful then it sounds.), seeing or talking to people Via reflective objects and mirrors. personally, the mirror is kind of underrated when it comes to powers. Atlanta: hmm~ i like the speed powers, but wouldn't it be cooler if she was the Hawkeye of the group? not in terms of a bow and arrow thing, but using items to recoil and hit any item in her sight or just be a skilled marksmen? no..maybe? and i don't mind Theresa's, but for the girl named "The Fighter" kind of missed the point of having a female fighter who knew different martial art styles. eh might just be me. but hey~ that's just me talking.

[@SuperSongbird21]

I reckon Neil's ideal superpower would be the ability to hypnotize people with his good looks and make them do his bidding - you could have him annoy the others by constantly using his power to get girls or free stuff. And in both "Heroes of Olympus" and "Hercules the Legendary Journeys" a child of Aphrodite has this power, so since she's Neil's mentor in this it makes total sense.

[@JesusPerez-pe8vk]

Sad to see this never aired in the U.S , I'm sure it would've done well

Can you say, 'Saturnalia?'

[@jeffreygao3956]

But not Greek.

[@171QA]

The books were great, the movies? Yeah, they suck.

[@seanoneil8073]

the books were bad for example the books made athena a mother except that athena is a virgin goddess since Athena never had a lover or a consort plus athena nickname was athena parthenos aka Athena the virgin people who never want to had offspring , plus they made Blackbeard the son of ares except that Blackbeard was a pirate who know piracy which is to steal from sailor, in fact Blackbeard would be the son of Hermes since Hermes is the god of thieves and Blackbeard is a pirate which is a type of thieve but no, Rick riodan made Blackbeard the son of ares who is a god of war.Also they make Cerberus the guard dog of the underworld into a lapdog which is stupid , also guard dogs are loyal to their master not everyone.

[@Badboy25251]

@@seanoneil8073 wow it's like an author cant make creative stories based on his own ideas using the Greek gods, It's like god of war never existed. You dont have to follow everything to a t, saint seiya a Japanese manga doesn't follow Greek mythology closely but who cares as long as the story is good and characters are interesting it doesn't matter.

[@seanoneil8073]

I not saying that rick riordan is a bad author I am just saying he didn't know anything from greek mythology now if you want to know about greek mythology check out George O Connor's Olympians book series at least he know about greek mythology unlike Rick Riordan

[@Badboy25251]

@@seanoneil8073 maybe he didn't want to be 100% accurate, that's my point maybe he wanted something using the Greek gods. In his universe the Norse and Egyptian gods live in the same world. No mention of the other pantheons in Greek mythology.
