The movie Immortals is an adaptation and amalgamation of many of the myths surrounding Theseus 2603:8090:2240:C8:C4FD:D0B1:CA25:C226 (talk) 03:58, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"* Theseus appears as an antagonist in the PlayStation 2 video game God of War II by Santa Monica Studio, voiced by Paul Eiding. He is depicted as the horsekeeper of the Sisters of Fate and holds the key to various locks guarding the Steeds of Time. He encounters the main protagonist, Kratos on the Island of Creation, when the latter appears to try and change his fated death at Zeus' hands at the beginning of the game. Theseus provokes and battles Kratos only to meet his end after Kratos brutally slams his head with a door. However, Theseus is presumably restored to life when Kratos travels back in time to fight Zeus, which in essence possibly resets the events that occurred on the Island of Creation." That information above needs to be re-added in the video game section of theseus page as the character was portrayed in the God of War 2 video game 2600:1014:B085:7C55:6518:A5F4:6F0E:6CF3 (talk) 13:08, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like trivia to me Furius (talk) 14:01, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not every mention of Theseus warrants mention here. We would need reliable sources (see WP:RS) which say something relevant, significant or notable about Theseus. Per MOS:POPCULT:

Cultural references about a subject should not be included simply because they exist. A Wikipedia article may include a subject's cultural impact by summarizing its coverage in reliable secondary or tertiary sources. A source should cover the subject's cultural impact in some depth; it should not be a source that merely mentions the subject's appearance in a movie, song, television show, or other cultural item.

looking at the "adaptations of the myth" section, the point you made is not a very good and solid one especially since the game features greek mythology which theseus is part of. 2600:1014:B075:85B1:C18E:5FB0:6050:9C91 (talk) 14:43, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
