Blood of Zeus has been one of the most anticipated shows that transported viewers into the world of myth and legend where the fierce battle between the evil and good side of the universe takes place. This makes it an absolute must-watch of a show.
This Netflix animated series exerts the limits of narrative, reviving the ancient Greek mythology through its captivating characters, heart-stopping action sequences, and stunning visuals that will simply not let anyone blink for a moment. Although it has gained much recognition from its core storyline, there is still this hot discussion whether we will get a live-action adaptation of it or not.
Seraphim’s Voice Actor Himself Says Why Blood Of Zeus Should NOT Be Adapted To A Live-Action Series?
In a recent interview, Elias Toufexis, Seraphim’s voice actor himself, gave a crazy opinion: the series should be left in its original form and the live-action series should never be created. He claims that the main issue is creative freedom.
He is confident that animation gives a level of independence that live-action can never provide, especially when the budget factor comes into play. He stresses that the show’s epic battles and mythical creatures should not be created with live-action because they would be too costly and restrictive.
Well, it’s freedom, right? [BWT: Yeah!] It’s freedom within a budget. If you wanted to do Blood of Zeus as a live-action, you’re talking hundreds of millions… It also grants you freedom, I guarantee you. Like the Clash of the Titans [movies] that came out [around] 10 years ago, they were limited in what they could do…
For instance, he refers to films like Clash of the Titans, which looked forward to the Greek myths coming to life through live-action but didn’t really go well in the end. He believes that these movies were restricted by their limited resources and the reliance on real-world special effects.
Animation mode, as in Blood of Zeus, enabled the show’s producers to run wild with their ideas and develop a franchise that they could be proud of.
Animation Unleashes Endless Creative Possibilities, That Live-Action Never Can
Animation gives you the canvas of creation without limits, a feat live action can only dream of. It is said by people in the industry that it is animation where even the most impossible of ideas are to be found because no budget could ever be in play. As Elias Toufexis Also mentioned:
With animation, [while there is still a budget], we can pretty much [do] anything. Anything you can imagine we can do it. I’m sure [the animation studio] had budgetary constraints and stuff, but for the most part, you imagine [it] and you can do it. That’s the good thing about animation. Adult animation right now is just so good with everything. It’s just constantly impressing me…
Adult animation has never been this healthier before, and that’s why works, such as Blood of Zeus season 1, enjoyed the optimum quality and ingenuity it deserved.
As a result, it was then able to recover complex stories combined with the freedom to imagine and bring about anything. A new golden era for adult animation is really at hand, without any shadow of a doubt. With the ever-growing development of the medium, one cannot fail to be excited about what comes next and the unbelievable stories waiting to be told with the season 2 of Blood Of Zeus.
You can watch Blood Of Zeus on Netflix.
