​@@sussybaka6347 his aura may be evil but don't worry he's a pretty neutral god

[@HowDoYouPronounceGIF]

@@Philthornnahh man, Hades is like Lobo from Puss in Boots. Mostly just doing his job ruling the underworld. Compare that to Zeus who shagged every woman he thought was hot, in both human and animal form. Those women couldn’t do anything but accept his downstairs thunderbolt, and then had to face the wrath of Hera and suffer. Or Aphrodite who had people who she thought were competing with her beauty a bad rest of their lives.

fun Fact: The statement "I am retired" is actually two words in Greek.

[@F00L_Of_A_Took]

That's not true - or rather it's completely out of context - please don't believe everything you see on the internet especially if Google translate has been involved

[@iratetrolls]

@@F00L_Of_A_Took explain please?

[@F00L_Of_A_Took]

@@iratetrolls if you were to translate the phrase "I am retired" verbatim to Greek it would be "Είμαι συνταξιούχος" which is two words yes but no one would say it like that. When referring to being retired ppl in Greece will usually say "Έχω βγει στη σύνταξη" which is four words and would translate to something like "I am in retirement". Especially in the context of that scene using the first phrase would be completely odd and sound out of place whereas ppl use the second phrase a lot of the time in a similar context- to say I'm retired in a frustrated or like "I'm so done" way. It's an honest mistake and I think it was started by a post on tumblr (I've certainly seen it before) but that's the problem with using Google translate; it won't give you an accurate representation of how ppl actually speak in [insert language here] because it completely ignores phrases that are used to replace the "proper" or "grammatically correct" ig you could say way of saying things. Ppl (at least in my experience) will very rarely if at all use the first phrase to refer to themselves as being retired (may be somewhat more commonly used for referring to a third person). Anyhow I get how ppl might think it's a fun fact but it's pretty inaccurate, because it completely ignores context and how ppl naturally speak and just goes of translating the words. (Also you could argue that it can be two words in English anyway if you say "I'm retired" instead of "I am retired" but that's another thing). Anyway sorry for the long comment I have an unhealthy love for linguistics.

[@GThe-su9kl]

In French (my native language), if I remember well Phil says "J'ai. Pris. Ma retraite", which would count as 5 words. But I think that he says "three words" instead of the "two words" in English, so I'd guess that in other languages they also make sure to make the "count" wrong.

As much as I adore the soundtrack, the story of Hercules (Heracles) is so much darker than you think. Zeus was his father, but Hera tried many times to kill him. Pegasus is a son of Medusa and Poseidon and was born after Medusa was decapitated by Perseus. And the trainer of heroes was Chiron (a centaur) not a satyr

This isn't a reaction request, because that's not the kind of reactor you are. You do movies. Just for your own personal entertainment and learning. :) You'll get the real story of Hades somewhere in that playlist as well as a mini-rant about how more modern stories have always interpreted Hades as some sort of Satan figure, when he's not at all like that in the actual Greek myths.

@@paulinecharlat2982 oh the having children with your siblings doesn't just feature Zeus/Hera and Kronos/Rhea. It even goes back another generation with Ouranos/Gaea, the parents of the titans. Not to mention that Poseidon slept with his sister Demeter as a horse. Well, slept with isn't the right term, its much more forceful and I would probably get reported for spelling it so I'll give you a hint: has 4 letters, starts with r

@@elanakroll2102 Yeah, Greek mythology is weird

[@tiago9977]

I would love to see Disney remake this film in their modern animation style. Encanto already showed how amazing it would look when we saw a Hercules and Cerberus in Louisa's song 'Surface Pressure'.

[@VerchielxKanda]

Nope, Hades said "Powerful little tyke." XD Yup, that's Scar. As Zazu once said, "He'd make a very handsome throw-rug."

[@EnaLikes]

Funny how Hades in the myths is actually the better god of his brothers XD

Him, about the titans: "They seem a bit op." The Rock Titan, in Kingdom Hearts' Hades Cup: One of the easiest bosses in the whole franchise.

[@sofiamec8767]

This is one of my favorite Disney movies EVER!!!!!!!!! I know most of the lines and songs and the whole time watching this I was just smiling and laughing! Also yea, Meg is hot af

[@familys7724]

Apart from The Emperor's New Groove this is my favourite film

[@saja3512]

Your love for the muses is so deserving lol they are the mvp's of this movie imo

[@summerevening421]

1:59 he actually called him 'little tyke'

[@3SailorMartin]

Fun fact: my favorite Greek god is Hades. My favorite myth has always been of him and Persephone

[@jennybeach3673]

The opening castle used to be Sleeping Beauty’s castle. But sometime in the in the 1970/80s it was switched to Cinderella’s castle.

[@artsysabs]

This will always be one of my favorite Disney movies. All the characters are great and Hades is the best villain. Even if it's not at all accurate to myth, it's just an awesome, fun movie

[@user-qh9xb6xt4m]

This is actually the first time I've watched this in English since I'm so used to watching it in greek but this one was also really good

[@oliversherman2414]

The singing ladies on the pot stole the show for me XD They're halarious lol

[@tia7520]

Decided to search up the Muses. 4 of them were Broadway singers and the 5th is an R&B/jazz/soul blues who's been releasing music all the way from the 80s to most recent album in 2022

[@zablnc]

To be honest I watched Home on the range when I was very little so I know nothing about until I watched it the 2nd time

[@hallieelordi3777]

I guess Zazu was right. Scar does make a "very handsome throw rug."

[@timefliesaway999]

The only thing great about this movie is hades and meg. Everyone else can just go 😂

[@tiago9977]

I would love to see more animated films about myths and magic lol (especially in an animation style like Encanto, Moana, Frozen II, Onwards, HTTYD 2&3, etc). There are so many cool mythology/ magical creatures and powers that would look *amazing* in that style of animation lol.

[@MothraMissWorld]

“He promised I wouldn’t get hurt” Welchy *gasp of excitement then flash of realization, panic sets in* “…but that means that ur hurt* Welchy dumping for Meg is always the best content

[@alondraaguilar2626]

OMGOMG he's watching my favorite Disney movie yayayay

[@StAngel22]

One of my favorites. Looove Hades so much lol

[@tiago9977]

Meg reminds me of Shego from Kim Possible tbh - they're both attractive, badass and sarcastic asf. Pain & Panic also remind me of Cosmo & Wanda from Fairly Odd Parents when they shapeshift lol 2:42 15:33

One of my fav Disney movies! So underrated
