Okay, so while I'm not a fan I can accept that they do have artistic liberty to design their characters any way they want... but to actually claim that you're being faithful to the original? What a moron.
They absolutely do, I agree 100%, but I argue their choice isn't artistic liberty, but based on ideology and deliberately defy what people imagine these gods are portrayed in popular culture. It's no different from race swapping in reboots and adaptations. The first deity that helps Hadesman is a black Athena, that is a statement: Fuck you, if you disagree with my choice - you're a bigot.
I quit out, check the wiki, saw all the uggos and got to working on fixing this issue.
Take what he said and would the producer say the same if someone made a game where African deities are replaced by white men with blonde hair? Or is artistic liberty one way with people like him? Past trends indicates he'd be big mad.
I'm reminded of a reddit post I saw a while ago asking why gamers set anime girls as their profile pictures, and the best reply was "because I like it and I don't care what you think." If these guys had gone the same rout I'd fully agree with them, but instead they have to wrap themselves up in lies to try and justify something that doesn't even need justification.
