That **** never happens. Zeus (and a bunch of other knockoffs) has been doing the cliche skirtchasing henpecked dude and his domineering jealous wife bit for millenia and it's become an all encompassing trite that everyone keeps rehashing. So I decided to polish Othea a bit and also throw in a bunch of other stuff. This is the result. Now the giants are just one more race that's not divided into a bunch of color coded bull**** categories and there's their titan gods to fulfill all the mythical giant of legends stuff when that's needed.
also, spot the dank meme
I should do something similar to uncrapify dragons too. But I hate dragons much more than I hate giants, I'm not gonna start being openminded about them at my age.
