I mean God of War is getting a TV show and they had Jeff Goldbloom playing Zeus, as did Lance Armstrong (notice how none of the Pagan community complained about race swapping, Zeus takes whatever form he wants to, example Hera appears as an Indian women in the Dionsyium). But honestly they don't care what I think. At minimum at least use one of the Canon alternate names.</blockquote>
