Every so often — more often than not in a post-lockdown digital world, of course — Twitter latches onto an idea and makes it go mega-viral. The latest such concept is a standalone movie featuring a story told from Medusa‘s vantage point, an opposite angle than what we’ve ever seen from the Greek legend prior whether it be the reverse-Clash of the Titans or an entirely new story.

With one tweet going viral over the course of Saturday, the mythological character has been hovering around Twitter trends most of the weekend as fans hope to eventually see the character receive her own blockbuster. As with virtually all trends, it started with a single tweet and snowballed from there. Regardless, fans are the classic Greek stories are lobbying hard to whatever movie studio will listen.

Here for That

#Movies #GreekMythology

Medusa trending?
If they’re talking about doing a movie
I am HERE for THAT.

With all three Gorgon sisters:
Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale.
And Pegasus and Chrysaor.

Unless.
It’s done by someone that never read
Greek Mythology. In that case,#Hardpass pic.twitter.com/978QzmQ7aQ
