Jason and the Argonauts: Difference between revisions

* [[Large Ham]]: King Aeëtes romps home with the prize. "DESTROY THEM! KILL! KILL, KILL, KILL THEM ALL!!!"

* [[Oh Crap]]: When Hercules {{spoiler|realizes he has awaken [[Living Statue|Talos]].}}

* [[The Queens Latin]].

* [[Redshirt Army]]: Jason apparently picked the best athletes etc in Greece yet hardly any of them actually do anything interesting apart from the two who get killed by the skeletons at the end. Oh and the guy who jumped in after Acastus.

** [[It Gets Worse]] when you remember that all the Argonauts were powerful heroes and demigods in their own right, and several have their own myths independant of the Argonauts!

** Or they knew according to Greek Mythology that Jason and Medea don't end up having a [[Happily Ever After]]. They have the most [[Downer Ending]] possible.

 

* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: Pelias's hair gets greyer the further along the story moves in the Hallmark film. Also Mopsus is shown with long shaggy hair and beard when Jason meets him. When the ship sets sail he has cut his hair short and shaved his beard.

* [[Fan Service]]: The Isle of Lemnos in the Hallmark film. Also where Medea rubs magic oil onto Jason to protect him from the fiery breath of a bull.

** [[The Hero]]: Jason

** [[The Lancer]]: Mopsus or Atalanta

** [[The Smart Guy]]: Orpheus or Argos

** [[The Chick]]: Medea (could also count as a [[Sixth Ranger]] since she joins the crew when the story is nearly over)

* [[Hot Witch]]: Medea in the Hallmark one.

* [[Improbable Hairstyle]]: Pelias, Aetes, the Sage, we're looking at you.

* [[New Powers As the Plot Demands]]: Medea reveals she can heal wounds when Acastus is shot with an arrow. She doesn't bother healing {{spoiler|her brother though}}

* [[No Guy Wants an Amazon]]: Played with as Jason considers Atalanta to be a sister (he actually says brother) and rejects her romantic advances but Atalanta does catch the eye of the thief who stows on board.

* [[Psychic Link]]: Between Jason and Medea in the Hallmark film. A convenient plot device to introduce Medea earlier in the film.

* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: Unlike in the myth where the Argonauts are famous heroes or princes prior to the quest, Jason mostly recruits peasants not as much for skills but for pluck. Castor and Pollux are stoneworkers. [[The Odyssey (Literature)|Odysseus's]] future dad Laertes is a cowherd who vaults over charging bulls for fun. {{spoiler|Later he vaults straight into the dragon's mouth.}}
