Meanwhile, Zeus Luke Evans advises the other Gods that they should not interfere with the human free will and the last hope of mankind. Which they end up not doing since they are next seen in a future battle fighting the gods or what's left of them.
I also didnt like how almost all the greek gods were killed near the end. I understand how, the Titans are the same kind of Immortals as Zeus and co. Athena, Heracles, Apollo, and Poseidon are all killed at the end Let's not forget Ares who died at the hands of Zeus himself.
That's 5 major greek gods, those are already some of the most powerful greek gods and the well known ones not counting Hades who didn't appear in the movie.
