Meeting Athena & Dionysus - Hades 2 Olympus Update

[@TeaTimeRumble]

Dionysus just standing there with his massive bulge in a leopard speedo going "Nice transition Zag" is iconic

[@thebaseandtriflingcreature174]

"Hey Zag, nice Cock" to "Hey Zag, nice tits"

[@analicious94]

lol he's so psyched for trans Zag

[@m.l.8235]

he was absolutely ready to dick Zag down hard

[@lux0rd01]

Of all the things I was ready for in this update, the leopard print thong and bulge was not one.

[@tuckerlambert-clark6284]

He’s such an icon

[@TheSUGA1202]

That is why he was crossing his legs on Hades one.

[@beatricegurrobat7846]

They knew how much power Dionysus would have over us if he didn't in the first game

Dionysus being a G in the most pressing of times will always be amazing

[@falconeshield]

Back in the old ages, people participated in orgies because it literally could've been their last day to live. It got abused as a system (what doesn't) but it made sense, as war was constant.

[@hwaitboii8346]

Everyone’s talking about his “packed low-hanging fruit”. But not his face, he looks like he’s barely keeping it together, the growing beard and those eyes, man..

[@Lionstar16]

Yeah, he's definitely in denial about the situation on Olympus

[@falconeshield]

Yeah he's thinner than last time

[@4EverSmiles]

Yeah, and he's been drinking a lot (Like two large glasses on one hand??) They say party is denial, and Dio is taking it too seriously

[@TheLunarDawn]

I mean, yeah the leopard speedo was the first thing I saw…but then there was his face and all humor left my body, with one question: is he okay? He legitimately looks broken and trying to avoid reality.

[@Lionstar16]

As they say, he's drinking into oblivious - doesn't want to face the cold truth that Olympus might fall

[@thebaseandtriflingcreature174]

he's holding TWO goblets for god's sakes.

Also Chronos waging war on olympus is the directly in the books) overlap.

[@Iteration456-8_codename_goblin]

Im so happy all of the voice actors were able to return and reprise their roles

[@basedbattledroid3507]

I love how Dionysus being like "woah nice transition Zag" is mythologically accurate too, since he was initially raised as a girl to protect him from Hera's wrath, sorta presents kinda genderfluid in myths, just having fun with it and sorta took on a secondary role as patron God of trans people, Also I love how the rest of the gods look more "war-ready," with all their armor and weapons and war paint, but Dionysus is just Nakeder and has a bigger *Cock-Tail* and a second one

[@ImNotGoodAtAnimation]

The music for Dionysus is wonderful, also the other thing abt Dionysus is wonderful as well

[@mondenkindqueen]

The older versions of Dionysus may not have been a war god, but he was wild, dangerous and a god of madness and shall we say “altered mental states.”

[@carolleuzzi1023]

HELL YEAH THE GUARDIAN OF MY BUTTOCKS IS BACK! Athena carried my keyboard ass through Hades 1, man, good to have her back. And Dyo, fabulous as always. Now only Ares and his sexy voice left back!

[@keeperofthetriforce7]

Dionysus has been drinking and hitting the tanning bed while the world falls apart around him sounds about right.

[@bokarndiaye323]

Dionysus not being a war-like god is crazy. There's an entire epic about how he conquered India !

[@adamaulia1945]

In ancient greek cultute, having small package is a sign of intellect and civil. Dunno why Supergiant did THIS to Dionysus, tho...

[@hoshi-15]

It makes perfect sense, wine makes you lose your inhibitions, self control, and people act like fools. Pretty sure Dionysus’ followers had raging adult parties too. The exact opposite of civil, self control, and resisting animalistic, sexual urges. Drinking to self medicate war PTSD isn’t the smartest either, he represents that well.

[@pabloosset2533]

The Dio-bulge, yes yes, we all love it, but man, he don't look okay. The hair, the eyes and he seems thinner than in Hades 1. Man is in denial.

[@vicenteisaaclopezvaldez2450]

Hear me out! Dionysus may “hate” war, but in my head cannon, this is his contribution: make whoever crosses the threshold of his sanctuary inebriate and more susceptible to damage and/or unable to participate in skirmishes.

@@falconeshield No. Dionysus was a god of madness and ritual dismemberment and lead a cult of crazed women who would tear through everything in their way. That screams witch so much!
