Recently, I've been realizing how you could work up a timeline continuity with the newer modern day Greek Mythology movies. I'll share with you an image of an example for a timeline I have in my mind to showcase what I'm thinking:
Nothing final, just something to start out discussions with. And yes, I can defend my choices and where I put them in the timeline. You might say most Greek Gods died in Immortals. That seems to be the truth - but thinking about it, they kept it ambigious what happened there. The last shot we see is of Theseus fighting Titans alongside the Greek Gods, all alive and well. An intentional choice by the artistic pretentious director Tarsem, but anyway. And as for the Titans there? Well, could be something else than in the two "of the Titans" movies. They are clearly established to not be the Titans who are the ancestors/parents of the Greek Gods, such as Kronos in Wrath of the Titans obviously is.
And while 300 never shows us any of the Greek Gods but only mentions them, the supernatural elements of the movie/-s makes it apparent it is taking place in a mythological universe.
Then there's Troy, which I have heard is rather grounded (not seen it yet)... but hey, that doesn't exclude anything, right?
So yeah, any thoughts? Any movie/-s you would exclude? Any movie/-s you would include? Would you re-arrange the order?
