Some viewers hope that the writers of "Blood of Zeus" will avoid any romance between Heron and Alexia (Jessica Henwick), the leader of the Amazons. A now-deleted user on Reddit thinks that a relationship between the pair would be cloying and predictable, writing, "He's a bland male lead, she's a strong female character, so the almighty cliche demands that they end up together ... [but] I don't want an insipid, obligatory romantic subplot to steal screen time from the interesting stuff ..."
Other users were quick to agree. "I was saying this to myself as I watched the show, I desperately hope they remain just friends," added u/LieutenantDeer. The Season 1 finale set the stage for plenty of drama that might fall to the wayside if Alexia and Heron got together. Even though Heron managed to save Olympus, Seraphim (Elias Toufexis) is now working for Hades (Fred Tatasciore), a combination that's sure to cause some trouble. The series has only scratched the surface of the mythology it's based on, so trying to squeeze in a romance storyline could distract from more interesting plot developments. And that's not even to mention that in mythology, the Amazons were believed to only have relations with men in order to produce children to continue their culture (per WorldHistory.org).
Some viewers also don't see any chemistry between the characters. Redditor u/peachyShoob101 noted that "Heron genuinely doesn't seem interested and neither does Alexia." With Season 2 of "Blood of Zeus" on the way, we'll have to see what the Fates have in store when new episodes arrive.
