Hades is my FAVORITE Disney Villain, because is just so unique from the others. He doesn't have that whole dramatic Shakespearean thing going. He's more of a laid back, realist sort of villain.

I say Hades and Ursula were a change of pace.

I do love Meg’s whole storyline. It’s so interesting and complex especially for a Disney movie. The mythology aspect might’ve helped with that being complex but idk for sure if that portion was accurate to the mythology or not

[@HonkHonkler]

It's not accurate, but it's a Disney animated film for children, so it doesn't matter. The ACTUAL tales in Greek Mythology are not something for 5 years old to be learning yet. They're fucking cool, but not things 5 year olds need to know at their age.

[@jeffreygao3956]

Meg actually died in an accident which Heracles had to do the 12 Labors for.

[@tylerj7298]

The singer for young Hercules is actually Roger Bart. Just so you know. He is an actor/singer. He was Goerge in Desperate Housewives and Carmen Ghia in the 2005 Producers

[@wetsocks2897]

she was probably talking about phil since he looks like the fat minion

[@kristijanEX]

[@creatingpulsars9979]

I agree with how much you liked Meg and Herc together and fun fact, this is one of the few disney canon ships where the woman is older. It's also one of the larger age gaps in Disney. Hercules was supposed to be about 16/17 at the start of the film and 18 at the end after the training. Meg is in her 20s

[@iamvia9749]

Wait how do you know that Meg is in her 20’s? :D she does look like she is but do they mention that somewhere online or in the movie? =D

[@megarakadmea]

Considering she talks down to him a little it does at least sound like she’s older, but the question is by how much. Since she appears in the episode of the show “The Anatolian Amphora” and appears to be a high school contemporary of Herc’s, the “age gap” may be more of an experience gap.

[@creatingpulsars9979]

@@megarakadmea The cartoon isnt cannon though

[@Tooba-K123]

The first thing she says to him is move on junior 😂 now I don’t know whether she’s stuck in her 20s and is probably a century older than Herc or she’s actually just few years older than him. Given her story of selling her soul, her aging makes it hard to guess how long had she been working for Hades.

[@iamvia9749]

@@Tooba-K123 Yeah, you’re right she does call him junior. She should be in her 20’s. I always have been wondering how old she is supposed to be, also I always been wondering how old Esmeralda is supposed to be as well cause she looks like 26-30. Megara looks younger than Esmeralda that’s all I know but Meg looks at least 20 :D

[@Hildegard1098]

Not sure if anyone here is into Steven Universe, but the voice actor playing Megara, Susan Egan, is also the voice of Rose Quartz. And she originated the role of Belle in Beauty and the Beast on Broadway!

[@joshualowe959]

Lion King was the blueprints for Hercules: 1. Both feature a jealous villain who wants to overthrow their older brother & nephew. 2. Scar from Lion King appears in Hercules as a cameo

[@kokitrees7394]

The best part of the movie was Meg, but the way they made Hades a bad guy in this was so infuriating because he's basically the least problematic god out of all of them, and one of the only gods that *didn't* participate in a takeover of Olympus against Zeus in Greek Mythology. That's not even the least of how inaccurate it is when looking at Greek mythology, but if I talked about everything I'd get into ranting and I don't really feel like typing out a rant rn

[@JuanitoEsBonito]

I think it was just disneys strategy yknow they gotta make someone bad and given the fact that it's mainly a child audience picking the guy associated with death and the underworld was the first choice.

[@maem7462]

@@JuanitoEsBonito I think that was partly the choice. I always think Hades already had a bad representation b4 this bc some ppl were like he’s the God of the underworld and works with dead souls he must kill ppl which isn’t true. Also maybe it was a bit of some Catholic and Christian ppl learning abt Hades being God of the underworld and they likely thought of the underworld that’s under ppl and associated that with Hell and thereby associated Hades as being similar to the devil. I think k with Zeus they were like oh he’s in the sky so it must be like heaven so they praised him when Zeus doesn’t deserve the praise he gets

[@JuanitoEsBonito]

@@maem7462 well in Greek mythology it's actually explained that people didn't necessarily fear hades they just didn't like uttering his name or being associated with him as they though it warranted an earlier death.

[@HonkHonkler]

It's a fucking Disney Movie... Get a life. We know Greek mythology and Disney aren't going hand in hand. Yes let's tell kids the ACTUAL story of Hercules. Of him killing his family in a blind rage because of his vindictive aunt wanting revenge on Zeus... Hercules completely his 12 tasks of repentance and then BURNING HIMSELF ALIVE to join his father in MT. Olympus. 100% badass story, but not something for the kids to watch.

[@HonkHonkler]

Also Hades literally stole a man's wife lol.

[@T-Law.]

“Zeus is kinda lame so far, haven’t seen him do much except sit around on his little throne” and that right there just summed up most of Zeus’ mythology in a nutshell.

[@peterseaboldt1250]

Fun fact: The name Cerberus comes from the ancient Greek word "kerberos," which means "spotted." That pretty much means that Hades named his three-headed guard dog "Spot."

[@stereotomono803]

In the myths, hera wasn't even hercules mom not to mention she drove him crazy. and hades was the one god that actually didn't want him dead

[@cerisejaxel9636]

Hercules was the Disney movie that came out after The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Hercules was made light hearted due to Hunchback of Notre Dame being so dark

[@VerchielxKanda]

The hilarious thing is that in actual mythology, Hades was the nicest of the gods. Also, the original story of Heracles(Hercules) is VERY tragic and I can see why Disney took the route that they did and changed so much to make it happy. Remember, Zazu once said "He'd make a very handsome throw-rug." about Scar. XD

[@SwanCreates]

The kidnapping of the baby was Disney's smart idea to cover up that Zeus was a f**kboy 🤣🤣🤣

[@Tustin2121]

Hades is a man of his word in this movie, too. Both deals he makes with Hercules, he holds up his end of the bargain. Hercules, on the other hand, doesn’t keep up his end of the bargain he makes about saving Meg.

One thing to know about this movie is that is basically has no consistency with the original Greek myth. They even got the name wrong, in Ancient Greece he was called Heracles, named after Hera in an attempt at appeasing her since he was the product of one of Zeus’s many extramarital trysts. He was called Hercules in Ancient Rome.

If Hercules is so strong, how in the world did a mortal throw that dice so hard that it was able to toss him in the air and make him hit a stone piller hard enough to make it fall.

Going off at Phil for missing the song: You did catch the bit where he fell off Pegasus and got knocked out right? He only came to in time to hear the end of Meg and Hades's conversation. I mean given only that information I'd be inclined to warn Hercules too.

[@wiseguy01]

In the original myth, Heracles killed Megara and their three sons while under the influence of Hera, so movie took some liberties. Also their children were the result of trickery, as Meg was deceived into sleeping with and eventually forced to marry Heracles against her wishes.

The side characters were my fave in this movie. The muses, Phil, Pegasus... I was (still am) obsessed 😩

[@rickypedia999]

As a major fan of Classical Mythology, this film and I have such a love-hate relationship. They have enough obscure references that it is obvious they did the research, but so many glaring flaws that it is also clear they didn't care to be accurate. For the best, I suppose, the actual myth of Hercules is FAR from family oriented (he got his first murder in as a kid when he smashed his lute over his music teacher's head, for starters... not counting the multiple rapes, pillages, beating his own wife and kids to death, multiple sex partners of both main genders that they were *not* putting in a 90s film, etc)
