I saw that again on TV a couple of years ago. Oddly enough, though, when I looked for info about the Kraken on Google to get a sense of where to write from, I found that its origins are not well known, it's a recent addition to the story and from what I understand doesn't originate with the Greeks necessarily. So I kinda had to let my imagination go with this one, and I kinda took a "Medusa" viewpoint with it...the monster who was long ago a beautiful woman but changed by a curse. It's an old story and I think it's been told in every culture. Anyway, thank you for dropping by and leaving your comment. Maybe we'll have to do this again. :) -Nicole Clash of the Titans…?

I came away with the feel of the kraken's fatal flaw to be envy - which would fit the kraken into the myth somewhere between the jealous goddess and the boasting queen . . . Fascinating. I think it's high time they came out with a remake for that movie . . . can't believe I'm blanking on the title.
