Like you could have at least included a line about Medusa occasionally leaving her lair to kill people or something, even that would have made it better. You have complete creative control of a story and you decide to change it specifically so that the monster is now a lady who was raped and cursed for literally no reason and now just wants to be left alone in her home. Yeah my issue isn't the killing her (which I get why it was necessary) so much as the presenting of it as some awesome heroic thing, which is why I bring up the whole "let them know men did this" line. If you're going change everything, then change everything. Maybe even have Medusa welcomed back to Argos, her home town, as a protector? I don't know. With the new set up, that makes sense as a logical outcome.
He can have a happy ending finding his family in the afterlife along with his dead girl Io. Then Perseus, revealed to be the son of Zeus, kills Hades and becomes the new god of death. Then at least there would be a "titan vs a titan" and you could have an epic kaiju fight between the Kraken and harpies vs giant scorpions, Djinn and Medusa. Medusa should have joined the team and fought with them. Such a dumb decision to change everyone's motivation without also changing the plot to reflect how those changes would resolve. So now, there's no satisfying ending, nothing is wrapped up. They defeat the monster, save Argos and the princess, but don't manage to kill Hades. Draco dismisses Medusa saying "she will never help us." - But why not? Isn't she exactly the same as everyone on the team? Someone wronged by the Gods? - So instead of teaming up with Medusa this time, they still kill her for no reason now, and go after Hades. The biggest plothole is when they meet the weird sisters and they tell them that only Medusa's gaze can take down the Kraken. He assembles a rag-tag group of misfits cursed by the gods, who all have a vendetta against them and by their powers combined they conspire to take down Hades.
He cares nothing for Argos or Andromeda, his only goal is to kill the god that killed those he loved. Perseus is now the hated son of Zeus and he seeks vengeance against the gods for the death of his family. In the remake, they changed the motivations of everyone, but then kept the same plot points, forcing them to shoehorn in the story. He is gifted magical weapons and armor, finds a kingdom and a princess, had to prove himself and wins everything. The motivations for everyone were very clear in the original, so the outcome was satisfying: Perseus the Son of Zeus had come of age was to "go out and fulfill his destiny" as a hero. I hated the remake, largely because it makes no sense.
