One Thing In Movies/shows/books That Always Upsets Me Is When They Use The Wrong Names When In Reference

One thing in movies/shows/books that always upsets me is when they use the wrong names when in reference to Primordials/Giants/Titans/Gods/Demigods/Legacies.

It's such a specific thing to get upset about, but it upsets me nonetheless.

Like, when they focus on Greek myths and use 'Hercules' instead of 'Heracles' or 'Cupid' instead of 'Eros' or referring to Hades as the God of the Dead. He's the God of the Underworld. Thanatos is the personification/God of Death.

Or when the focus is Roman and people forget that Pluto is not only the God of the Dead, but also the God of Wealth and Agriculture.

Another is when the focus is Norse and suddenly, Loki isn't messing with people. Or Hella is Loki and Thor's sister instead of Loki's daughter. Also, Norse Gods *can* be killed in combat. Other Pantheons cannot.

Lets not forget that all of the Creation Myths are botched in some way or another. Same with Destruction Myths.

Anyway, I do love a lot of media pertaining to the different Pantheons (like Rick Riordan's stuff and Disney's Hercules) but that doesn't mean that the tiny little nitpicks don't get me riled up.

(Another thing that upsets me is when everyone conveniently forgets that pretty much every deity in every Pantheon holds more than one position)
