You truly are saying the actions within an unrelated film 1st, the original Clash of the Titans uses many elements of Greek mythology. Wonder Woman also uses many elements of Greek mythology. So the movies have in that in common. 2nd, Endgame constantly refers to an unrelated film - Back to the Future. Now that you have decided to go for a theory that a god picked up the boat and plopped it at the Thames while the film's characters slept, and that none of those characters made reference to or were surprised or acknowledged that it happened Zeus picked up Perseus after Perseus collapsed from exhaustion after the battle against Calibos and placed Perseus in the amphitheater of Joppa. Did Perseus make any reference to being picked up and transported by Zeus? Was Perseus surprised that it happened? Did Perseus acknowledge that it happened? Like I explained to dazz, Steve saw a group of Amazons with bows and arrows defeat a group of German soldiers with rifles. Steve also experienced the power of the Lasso of Truth firsthand when it compelled him to tell the truth. And Diana told Steve that Zeus was her father. So Steve wouldn't be surprised that they traveled from Themyscira to London overnight. can only do so by connecting WW to an unrelated old film they may or may have not seen Wonder Woman uses many elements of Greek mythology. The Olympian gods placing humans wherever they want them is an element of Greek mythology. The original Clash of the Titans just happens to be another film that uses that same element of Greek mythology. There have been plenty of other films that use elements of Greek mythology, such as Helen of Troy, Hercules, Jason and the Argonauts, and even the Percy Jackson movies. None of those movies are supposed to be introductory courses to Greek mythology. They don't have to explain the basic elements of Greek mythology to people who have never studied Greek mythology any more than a courtroom drama has to explain how juries are selected or explain that the burden of proof is on the prosecution to people who don't know how the legal system works.

2nd, Endgame constantly refers to an unrelated film - Back to the Future. They mentioned Back to the Future twice - both times saying its time travel rules are bullshit - and you still don't understand this.

You truly are saying the actions within an unrelated film 1st, the original Clash of the Titans uses many elements of Greek mythology. Wonder Woman also uses many elements of Greek mythology. So the movies have in that in common. So what. Two films use elements of Greek mythology, doesn't mean one is the un-mentioned "guidebook" for a later one So what. Used in entirely different context and for different reasons. How is that like WW having it's audience relying on explanations in an unrelated film AND not mentioning that film in the process. Something that is beyond lazy writing. In your defence of the makers of Wonder Woman you are actually making them out to be way more stupid than they are. Again so what. I don't know if that actually happens in the Perseus myth...the placing of him by Gods in various locations, but even if it was it is hilarious that you believe that the makers of WW expect their audience to attribute that happening in their film because it happened in another. And you say both take elements of Greek Myth so one must dictate what happened in the other. Well there is no Calibos in Greek Myth! There is no Kraken...he is from Norse Myth! Bubo the owl was not mechanical! Clash Of The Titans is full of elements that is absolute bullshit as well. So not only must any viewer of Wonder Woman have to watch Clash Of The Titans first to understand elements of the film, but they have to decipher which ARE actually part of Greek myth. And you saying one film that plays fast and loose with Greek myth should lay down the rules for another that plays fast and loose with Greek myth...Themyscira was not a hidden island...it wasn't even an island. Hippolyta died centuries before the events of WW and she never had a daughter called Diana....are you not aware of the big hole of bullshit and stupidity you are digging And even after seeing all that, you think Diana would wake up the next morning and find Steve casually saying "we got lucky and caught a ride" (referring to the tug boat) and not in shock, pants full of piss, screaming "A BIG FUCKING HAND PICKED UP THE BOAT AT DROPPED US OF THOUSANDS OF MILES FROM WHERE WE STARTED FROM"...and Diana slept through it all. Or maybe they both slept through it..in which case why didn't Steve question how they got so far so quickly. Which is it....lazy writing or terribly written characters? I one day hope you win a huge amount on the lottery...you decide to write, direct, produce and distribute a self financed film. Because using you current and past expert views on story and character development and what you do a do not need to create a narrative will surely give us the biggest cluster fuck in the history of cinema So just to clarify. Are you saying it was NOT a magic or enchanted boat that allowed them to make such an impossible journey in one night? Instead a giant god hand picked them up and put them there? You just owned yourself. And with an explanation even more embarrassing than your original one.
