I hate how disney(I can't believe I'm saying this) made this movie. It just ticks me off that they blame poor Hades for Hercules fall when really it was Zeus's bitch of a wife Hera who did it. In the movie they make her all lovey dovey.

@Vampiresskorina Yeah but in doing so they made one of the Best Villains Ever, who doesnt love Hades in this?

[Hust91]

-salvages the original story (or at least the original gods/their motivations) alittle better while still being child-friendly. The new story might be about Hera discovering that Hercules is not her son, feeling that this is the final drop and deciding to release Kronus to get vengeance on all three of the divine brothers. She doesn't really care about what happens to humans. :3

I'd love a sequel, actually, where it turns out that everything ISN'T as fancy as it looks; Hades would in fact have taken kind of not-entirely-crappy care of the world(his original plot to take over the earth motivated by how crappily it was done now); Zeus was in fact sleeping around all the time, we just didn't see it in the first movie, and Hera had been tricked by Zeus to believe she was his mother (using the memory-loss river or something) etc. In short, something that-

@Maikkacrackshiper13 Yes, there were "evil" centaurs. Nessus himself is the one that ultimately defeats (kinda kills) Hercules after he himself has died. So yeah, Nessus being the rare evil example is actually completely accurate.

@Vampiresskorina ya, well its still a good movie, even if it isnt accurate

@VeilBloodClaws

Then again, it uses the association between death and negativity to create a villain, and sadly not the original myth's villains.

Besides, it's easier to create the underworld/overworld dualism than to explain why Hercules' mother fucked him over.

@VeilBloodClaws Your right! Hades gets a bad rep in popular culture too much! I bet Dreamworks could've done better with the story than Disney did. I still love this movie though.

[VeilBloodClaws]

@VeilBloodClaws If anyone was evil, it was Hera and Kronus (They should have used Kronus as a villain if they wanted to do Greek as a whole, but Hera for this movie as a villlain. It really irritates me to see how evil they portray him. Even in the Percy Jackson series, they portrayed him as chaotic neutral, and that irritated me too.

(Double post because of tiny character limit)

[VeilBloodClaws]

@HistoryLover1550 Yeah! Like in the myths, Hades was more of a neutral, if not good, character. They believed that death was not evil, just a part of life. As seen in the Labors of Hercules, Hades was actually pretty helpful, letting Hercules take Cerberus without a big fuss. The only thing he asked was for Hercules to Defeat Cerberus without using weapons. (Which is cute. It's like he didn't want Cerb getting hurt).

A very interesting video and good use of the song. Funny how they never really mention the whole family thing in the movie ... though they do frequently reference them being brothers in the series.

[HistoryLover1550]

@Vampiresskorina Ikr! Hera was the real antagonist of the myth. Being a Disney film, they should've done it in a dramatic sense like "The Prince of Egypt" of "The Lion King" having Hera as the jealous sister and wife she actually was, Hades really wasn't a bad olympian at all.
