God of Love

God of love was much more than the simple story of a man gaining the power to make others fall in love. Unlike most love potion stories that has one person abuse his power, which he does, he actually learns that this is NOT the right thing to do. Instead he becomes cupid himself, and learns how to use his power responsibly.

One would think that making other people fall in love would be a very creepy thing, and in all honestly it sort of is. However the film thought ahead, and made it so the effects were temporary and that they could BECOME permanent if the two people were right for each other. This story is not a romance story, it is instead the story of growth of one man. How he becomes a better person through his new power, even if he has to learn how to use it properly first. It isn't to say that he wasn't always MEANT to use this power, since at the beginning of the film, it foreshadows his skills with his darts when he does his song and dance number.

One could argue that Olympus enterprises were looking for a NEW cupid, and already saw that he fell into certain requirements, one he had good aim, two he had love troubles of his own, and three, he was selfish enough that he would try to use them right away. How is that a good requirement? Instead of never using the darts, he tests them out and develops into a better person as time goes on.

The original Greek gods were mostly very selfish and flawed individuals, however Olympus Enterprises were more concerned with him learning to be better than who he was, indicating them as a more modern revision of the Greek gods of old. As such, they already knew that he was flawed, but they knew that he probably wouldn't kill people at random like the old Greek gods, and would in fact, improve as a person.
