yeah no, you are missing the point.
Im not talking about variations, which werent nearly as plentiful as you suggest, im talking about for instance taking the benevolent cannaite storm god BAAL (which just stood for Lord) and turning him into evil incarnate just because the jewish god cant handle competion.
And back then it wasnt "mythology" but religion.
And no, it was never like the comic books....i.e serialized entertainment business. Mr. Classicist, lol...
The same as everyone. Ive read everything from the illiad to the clay tablets from Ugarit. Even Gods of pestilence and disease were not "evil". For instance, they had the power to remove illness as well.
No. Ancient Gods all had a purpose. There were no evil Gods. They were revered. In the stories, humans are mostly punished if they thought they were better than a god.
I only registered to say to "thefourfoldroot1" and "riceNpea" thank you for your insightful comments and that i couldnt agree more.
Modern society is really awful in that regard, we are moving backwards... (if you ask me its been downhill on sexual matters since the advent of Christianity)

Re: Best God of War Games
at any rate in GOW3 i would very much like to see Kratos fight Old Testament God, because that one is contrary to the ancient gods a real *****.

Re: Best God of War Games

and the story makes good gods into villains, which sucks big time.

Re: Alan Wake 2 (PS5) - A Nightmare We Never Want to Wake Up From
@Triumph741
thats all very much true. Especially "Horizon" has a really idiotic story and premise, yet it is loved by modern audience.
Re: Alan Wake 2 (PS5) - A Nightmare We Never Want to Wake Up From
copies too much from twin peaks and david lynch, and its in bad taste. (because you cant copy it)
plus the whole writer's work becoming reality, is really just an excuse to have a story where anything goes. A bit tiresome and cliche.
Re: Artistic PS5 Indie INDIKA Is Unlike Anything You've Seen Before
personally, i dont see any "good" coming out of Christianity. (or any other one god belief)
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (PS5) - A Familiar But Fantastic Superhero Sequel
gameplay and in this case combat get old after midway in Spiderman 1. It was fine for 10 hours or so....
Games like Sekiro who value gameplay above else are VASTLY superior.

Re: Square Enix Bafflingly Backtracks on Final Fantasy 16 Sales, Blames 'Slow' PS5 Adoption
what do they expect?
Game of Thrones was, contrary to popular belief, a bad tv show.
If they copied that in game form its gonna be worse....

YAWN contemporary times are so boring and trivial.
Re: Random: Influencer Brings Bedlam to New York City After Promising Free PS5s

Isnt that a bad thing ?
Re: Veteran FromSoftware Composer Yuka Kitamura Departs to Begin Freelance Adventure
Sekiro and DS3 are among the best soundtracks in gaming history.
