King Pelias was quite shocked to find that Jason was returning alive with the Golden Fleece as I was shocked when Bruce Willis was actually a ghost the whole time. (What a Twist!!) Hell, he thought the Argo had sunk and told Jason's imprisoned parents that his son had failed and was dead. Instead of holding to hope like Penelope from the Odyssey, they folded like Padme from Star Wars and decided to chug down the poison. (Glad my parents would never act that way)
You have no idea what crap I went through to get this.
So Pelias had no aspirations of holding up to his end of the bargin and in fact planned to murder Jason. However, like any good Bond villain, rather than having his men just kill Jason and his band of men as soon as they landed. (Then again, rules of hospitality prevented this probably) The king ordered to have Jason and his crew escorted into his palace so that the Fleece could be given to him.
Jason came in with all the swagger of a Superbowl MVP, but who could blame him? He presented his uncle the Gilded MacGuffin and handed it over to him. Now Jason was waiting for Pelias to return his end of the bargain, but the king refused to step down from the throne. Jason was livid, but he knew when to back down, his men were outnumbered and outgunned; however, he did not lose hope in completing his destiny. The king was also smart enough not to bring up about his parents' suicide, because he didn't want Jason to go all Inigo Montoya on his ass.
Turns out Pelias was really Dennis Hopper all along!
Again, you would think that Pelias would just murder Jason to assure control of his own destiny, but that is a big no no in Greek Mythology. Anyway, an idiot ball must have activated somewhere nearby, because the king allowed the man destined to kill him to live.
He even allowed Jason to live in his city, I mean come on there is being hospitable and then there is being a complete moron! The Amoeba Boys are more villainous than this guy! What is even more funny is that Jason doesn't even directly murder Pelias, but rather his wife does most of the work.
Ow stop with the stabbing and the mutilation Glavin! (Since when did Pelias become Professor Frink? I have no idea!)
Medea decided that since she had sacrificed so much for this one man than Harley Quinn, might as well kill the man who was holding the throne from her hubbie. More of a Raven than a Starfire, Medea planned her plan to kill the king, but even then she wasn't going to kill Pelias directly.
Medea was able to introduce herself with the daughters of Pelias and wowed them with her magic sorceress powers like Marry Poppins. She started with the easy stuff and gradually doing more complex feats much to the amazement of the Peliades. And like a Ancient Zatanna, she saved the best trick for last.
Medea claimed to the girls that she could take an old ram and make it a young lamb again, to which the girls laughed like I would if someone said that the Flyers are a good team. Medea just smiled like Tim Curry and conjured up a old ram, chopped him up, and then chucked the pieces into a stew pot. She then said the magic words, "klaatu barada nikto" and out of the pot a young lamb popped out!
The girls were ecstatic at what the witch from Colchis had done and immediately asked her to do the same thing to their father. Medea now had a slasher smile that would give Jack Nicholson a run for his money as she told the girls that they could do the trick too and their daddy would be a young man again. (Or you know, a baby)
So they got the pot filled with hot water and they picked up some knives and went over to their sleeping father. Before Pelias could wake up and scream "Lizze Borden!" this basically happened to him:
And just in time for Halloween!
Yep, those little Peliades chopped their father into many pieces and did the same thing that Medea had done to the ram. Except nothing happened when they said the magic words and it wasn't because they mispronounced that last magic word.
It was because the girls failed to notice that before the spell had begun, Medea had slipped a special herb that would rejuvenate the old ram. Because they did not have this herb, their father remained a bunch of fleshy pieces in a stew pot. The king had been finally killed, done in by the boy with the single sandal who brought that witch with him.
If you think that Jason could now ascend the throne and this adventure all babies ever after with Medea, you would be dead wrong. (What do you think this Greek story is, Perseus?) Because Jason wasn't going to ascend the throne like Prince Caspian because Pelias had a son.
Well guys, I got nothing; you want to hit up Corinth?
Acastus, the aforementioned son, took control over the throne and immediately declared a Sideshow Bob-like vendetta against Jason and Medea. Jason quickly got out of Doge and found himself exiled from his destiny; ending up in the city of Corinth.
While in Corinth Jason and Medea would be safe from the wrath of Acastus, but as they remained in exile like two Dwellers from Vault 13. However, something would happen down in the city of Cornith that would make this story more depressing and tragic than the fanbase to the Twilight series. The quest for the Golden Fleece was over, but as with a lot of stories, there are epilogues. (Not the Animal House kind either sadly)

I freaking LOVE the movie references in this. It makes the whole story more understandable when put into cinematic terms.
