In actual greek mythology Hades is the only one of the three who actually does his job and isn't a complete dick. It's completely baffling that he's always portrayed as villainous in pop culture. I blame christian cultural influence (death, underworld → must be bad...)

He's also really faithful to Persephone, I think there's only 2 instances where he possibly cheated but other stories say they happened before Persephone or they were failed attempts? Either way, a lot better than the others.

[@flusel4949]

Thank you! Finally someone clearing things up! Of course he wasn't a saint. No greek god was. But as you said, he did his job and he was always fair doing so. He maybe wasn't the most pleasant to be around, since he was mostly described to be bitter and gloomy, but to be honest: who wouldn't be, if your whole family is constantly picking on you, you get the worst job and your aren't even worshiped as much as your siblings by the people? And like it was already stated in the comments, he was basically the only major god who was actually faithful to his wife, not like a certain unnamed god who repeatedly runs around raping young women whereever he goes (*cough* Zeus *cough*).

[@Blitzvonic]

​@@flusel4949 If I remember correctly Hades never really did anything too bad in the myths. He was generally kinda chill. Like when Heracles went down to get Cerberus Hades was kina just like, "Sure go ahead, I'll be impressed if you can actually get my dog out". Or like with Orpheus, where he just sorta let it happen and the only reason Orpheus failed was cause he failed the one stipulation Hades gave him. And then yeah, the fact that he was actually faithful to his wife because he loved her, and that's why he MARRIED her! Like the other gods it's a bit iffy on why they're married and whatnot, but I think Hades was literally the only one to have had actively seek out the woman he wanted to marry cause that's the only person he wanted lol.

[@sarahchamberlain7062]

I’ve got a a pet leave with how they clothed the gods. In the books they wore modern clothes which corasponed with their character. Putting them in armour made them all seem the same. They also cast pretty similar looking people so it’s harder to know who is who. Obviously this is a small thing in comparison to what the other things the movies got wrong but...

[@Potterholic1]

Honestly, I'd try and divorce this from the movies (which didn't go over well with the fans). If any of the actors involved were to be approached about returning, I feel like either Pierce Brosnan reprising his role as Chiron or having Lerman play Poseidon (which would mean skewing Poseidon significantly younger than Zeus and Hades, which is obviously not how the mythology works) would be the way to go, but it shouldn't be something anyone should be jumping to do,

If Josh Brolin play Zeus, then I guess Percy's first adventure should be "Percy jackson and the Gauntlet Thief"

[@alexandrefrauches132]

@John Onnembo Very good ideas dude! However I would change a little the order of the movies, having the FF and Spider man movies coming first just to test the public reaction so then next movies can slowly build up for the avengers. "And spoiler. Spider-Man turns down the offer of avenger. But will be there if hes needed." That would be awesome, althoght, just to make a reference to Avengers EMH, when the avengers meet Spider man, they would give them a avengers card so they can call him when they need help. Then Spider man would say "Cool! Does this give me a discount anywhere?" and all the avengers just look at each other like "Did we just made the right choice?" "The depictions of the characters will be similar to the comics, avengers emh and X-men 90s series. " You could also add Spectacular Spider man (in my opinion the best version of Spider man ever).

[@alexandrefrauches132]

@John Onnembo For the phase 2, I think the movies that could build up for the Masters of Evil are : Fantastic Four 2 It would be based on the "Negative Zone arc", having the FF going to the negative zone and being capture by Annihilus, who accuse them of invading his dimension after his cosmic rod. As the heroes try to escape they discover that the true invader is Doctor Doom, who wants to obtain Annihilus cosmic rod so he can become a god and take over the world. In the end the heroes are able to defeat Doom and return to their dimension, sealing Annihilus and his monsters in the Negative Zone forever. The post credit scene would have Reed reciving a message from himself, or rather a alternative version of him, warning to beware the Incursion, a event that will put in risk not just Earth but the whole universe. Spider-Man 2 It would be based on the "Nothing can stop the Juggernaut" storyline, with Juggernaut being replace by Rhino and the whole story would be Spider man try to find one way to defeat a enemy that is strong as him and able to resist all his attacks. Iron Man 2 The Demon in the bottle It would be based on "The demon in the bottle" storyline (my favorite comics of all), with villain being obadiah stane AKA the Iron Monger (with Madame Mask, Whiplash, Living Laser and Blizzard as henchmen). The plot would have him trying to take over Tony Stark's company, manipulating events that cause Tony to go on spyral and suffer with his alcoholism. But with the help of his friends, he would be able to overcome his personal problems and would defeat Obadiah Stane. The post credit scene would have Madame Mask being recruited by Zemo Hulk 2 Gamma World Based on Avengers EMH episode "Gamma World" it would be the "Arkham Asylum" of the Hulk, with Banner being contact by SHIELD to help them stop the Leader, who took over the Cube, a prision where they kept all criminals who have powers with radiation, and is using it's technology to create a device that turns people into gamma monsters. From that, the movie is the Hulk trying to destroy the Leader while fighting against his hechmen like Abomination, Absorving man, U-men and Zzzax. In the end, the Hulk defeats the Leader but, to stop a gamma bomb, the Hulk absorbs it's energy resulting in him dying in a explosion. However the end reveals that Banner is alive but now afraid or returning to his friends. The post credit scene would reveal that the Leader is alive as well but stuck in another dimension talking where he would see a weird green door, teasing the Immortal Hulk storyline for the third movie. The second post credit scene would have Zemo recruting Absorving man. Thor 2 Love & Thunder It would have Thor having balance his life as protector of Asgard and his relationship with Jane Foster and his role as hero of Earth. The villains would be the Enchantress (with Skurge and Fafnir as their henchmen). In the end, she would be defeated and would disappear in explosion, however the post credit scene would reveal that she was captured by Surtur, teasing him as the villain for Thor 3. The second post credit scene would have Zemo recruting Skurge to the masters of evil, promising him the change to take revenge against Thor for the "death" of Enchantress Captain America 2 Basically would be the plot of Captain America Winter Soldier, with a post credit scene of Zemo recruiting Cross bones to be part of the Masters of Evil. Avengers 2 It would be based on the Under Siege storyline, with Zemo creating the Masters of Evil (Zemo, Crossbones, Skurge, Madame Mask, Absorving man and Titania) and attacking the avengers one by one, forcing the heroes who escape to find a way to save their friend and defeat this group of villains. The post credit scene would have Kang arriving at 21st century. How would be the phase 2 of your MCU?

[@alexandrefrauches132]

@John Onnembo I think they could be like this : Fantastic Four The movie would be a epic adventure film, based on FF first comic book apperance, with the Fantastic Four as family of scientists who gain their powers after a adventure in space. Back on Earth, they would learn to use their powers and would go on adventure to save the world from a invasion of underground monsters lead by the Mole Man, embracing their roles as family of heroes. The post credit scene would introduce Doctor Doom. Captain America Basically the same plot as Captain America First Avenger, with one major difference : Besides Bucky and the Howlling Commandos, Cap would also have as ally a certain canadian soldier. Iron Man Basically the same plot as the first Iron man with one difference : The villain would be Anton Vanko, one of the scientist who Stark fires after his decision to stop making weapons. Angry at him, Vanko would make his own armor and become the villain Crismon Dynamo. Thor Similar to the first Thor movie, although in this version, Thor is not banished from Asgard. He comes to Earth and after saving a group of humans from a street gang and falling in love with the nurse Jane Foster, he decides to stay on the planet, believing he can make a difference there, which causes some arguments with Odin. Taking advantage of his brother absent and Odin falling in the Odin's sleep, Loki would steal the Odin force and use it give power to the street gang, turning them into the Wrecking Crew, so they can kill his brother while he would take over Asgard's throne. While Thor deals with the Wrecking Crew, Balder, Sif and the three warriors are able to save Heimdall and use the Bifrost to bring Thor to Asgard and they would team up to defeat Loki, who is seemsly killed in the battle. However, Loki survived and would be found by a group of aliens know as the Chitauri, who he would convice to join him in his plan to conquer Earth. Hulk I wouldn't change much from the Edward Norton movie, which is one the most underrated MCU movies of all, although I would keep Hulk's origin like in the comics, with a atomic bomb and the movie would also have Rick Jones and Doc Samson (who at first would be working for Ross, believing that the goverment wants the Hulk so they can cure him, but in the end he would discover that they want him to turn the monster into a weapon, causing Samson to help Banner). Antman and Wasp It would showcase the relationship of Hank Pym and Janet, as these two go from scientists who discover the Pym Particules to a couple of super heroes, using their powers to fight against Whirlwind. Spider-Man It would be based on the Spectacular Spider man series and the villain would be Electro, who would start as Peter's friend from school, who suffers a accident that transform him into a monster of eletricity. He would then try to cure himself using any means necessary, forcing Peter to fight him before he hurts anyone. Avengers (v. Loki) I would keep the same plot as the movie, with the main difference be that instead of Black Widow and Hawkeye (the first one would have her own movie in the phase 2) it would be Ant Man and Wasp instead. The post credit scene would showcase Kang witnessing his future being destroyed and most of his allies, including his wife being erased from existence. To save his people he would decide to travel back in time.

[@alexandrefrauches132]

@John Onnembo The second X-men movie could be a adaptation of the "Mutant Massacre" with the x-men fighting against Mister Sinister. During this movie there would be the introduction of three new members : Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde and Wolverine. However, Logan's first apperance would be in a TV series with his first season adapting the animated movie "Hulk vs Wolverine". It would have Logan being sent by the canadian goverment to hunt down the Hulk after he caused some destruction in the country. But, as the plot progress, Logan discovers that Hulk is actually being hunt down by Weapon X, resulting in the two rivals teaming up so Logan can settle some old business.

[@alexandrefrauches132]

@John Onnembo The first x-men movie would be based on the "Giant size x-men 1", having Kitty Pryde acting as the surrogate character, as she discover her powers and joins the xavier school, meeting the x-men, both the teachers (Xavier, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast and Storm) as well as her classmates ( Angel, Iceman, Nightcrawler and Colossus). The movie would be a My Hero Academy with the X-men, showcasing the young heroes learning from the old generation how to become the next generation of x-men. The villain of the story would be Krakoa, who, much like in the comics, would kidnap the original x-men, minus Cyclops and Storm. In order to save their friends, the two would lead the young heroes in a mission to defeat Krakoa and rescue the older x-mens. In the end, they are able to reunite with their teamates and discover that Krakoa is not evil, just a poor desperate mutant uncapable of controling it's powers. This adventure would make Xavier decide in the end to reveal the existence of his school to the world, resulting in many mutants now knowing that there's a place where they can find help. As for the Agent of Shield TV series, I think it should be a series or movies focusing on heroes who work for SHIELD, like Black Widow, Hawkeye or Spider Woman.

I have loved you videos all along. With Percy Jackson, which needs to be redone, the topic hits my wheelhouse of interest. Even within the books' spin, the Big Three are still in their proper birth order. Leaving out the three goddesses/sisters, it goes Hades, Poseidon, and then Zeus. Zeus is actually the baby of the "family". Hades is the way he is even in the books because he got shafted in the dispersal of realms. All this is to say, Hades should look older than the other two, while Zeus should be the youngest looking of them. By all means they should look relatively the same age range. Beyond my nitpicking, I am enjoying your take on casting.

I really love how you think everything trough and do all the researche. I would love if Rick sees your videos and actually considers to try to contact these actors (with normal auditions conected to it)

[@olliehux]

I love all three of these actors and casting choices

[@clairekim2525]

Your casting videos are always so on point!

[@laurarenee6407]

If we can have Patrick Page as Hades (from Hadestown) play Hades again on screen, that would be amazing! His voice is deeper than the depths of Hell sooo... I could see it.

[@red4679]

Oh girl, YES I was just thinking about Hadestown, when I watched this! XD

[@flusel4949]

This comment is seriously underrated! Patrick Page would be perfect! For anyone not knowing who that is: Listen to the Hadestown album. Trust me, you instantly recognize Hades' voice.

[@zahoortoiba]

Wow....loved the caste

[@anubusx]

Awesome choices!!!

[@zerotohero1483]

I hope you get to Hero’s of Olympus after each book of PJO. I love this series and I like the picks you have so far

[@lucennastryker9093]

Now I'm obsessed with the idea of Josh Brolin as Zeus thanks for that

[@terrillgoodwinejr537]

Lance Reddick as Zeus

[@Randomvideos3200]

Love the picks! Personally I would have gone with someone of Pacific Islander heritage for Poseidon, but Evans works great!

[@matthewwaters7757]

When I read the books as a kid I've always imagined russell crowe as poseidon he has the look for me and the calm soft fatherly demeanor but he can also be strong and regal and even threatening feel

[@KarolYuuki]

Oh, I love that. It would be great too

[@awesomeappaloosa7583]

This is the best casting I’ve ever seen you do

[@chynatran6526]

I think your choices are perfect!

[@charliewolf4411]

I wanna see Green Lantern Corps next potentially

[@TheRoomforImprovement]

Honestly, my first choice for Hades would be Adam driver. But now that you mention it might be a little young for the role. Michael Fassbender is an inspired choice though.

[@revahodragon1020]

I can truly imagine these characters as their individual roles

[@elgigante7081]

Linus Roache would also be a good choice for hades I think. He played King ecbert in vikings

[@kurtlagasca8410]

Please do one for the winx club live action!!!

[@MsCurlFanatic]

When it got to Hades, I almost thought you where going to say Red Skull lol. I think Hugo Weaving would been good too.

[@not-logical1970]

I’m new to the book series and this casting is perfect in all of my opinion

[@poisonous__commentary135]

I’m glad you understand the characters because most creators messed up characters trying to make them more iconic I really want you to cast the new avatar series or Percy Jackson reboot

[@clarkkent2515]

I have a suggestion what if .-Poseidon played by Jason momoa it would be cool

[@riverh6998]

I have a feeling next video is going to be ms dodds, Sally jackson, gabe, medusa, and possibly chiron, mr d, and luke

[@madisonmejia6424]

For me, I would love to see Mads Mikkelsen as Hades. His work as hannibal has proven he can play cruel but has the range to be gentle like hades can be in the books.

[@kaylanunn6587]

You find the perfect fit for every role. I was thinking Josh Brolin as Zeus too.

[@terrillgoodwinejr537]

Lance Reddick as Zeus

[@aivarizhtml]

All three of these actors are amazing and I love them wholeheartedly

[@nicoellerbuschfilms]

What about Gary Oldman as Poseidon?

[@rishika_kan]

love the rest of the casting but personally i felt brolin kinda fits ares better idk

[@amuppet8855]

Luke Evans has also played Zeus before. Played him pretty good as well.

[@Kaden54321]

Jason Mamoa as Poseidon ...cause he is the freaking AQUAMAN lol

[@jvnkdog]

personally i would have chosen jason mamoa for poseiden. i know it’s sort of a cop out with aqua man but the dude looks like greek god. his voice is amazing and he has the range for funny caring serious and strong

[@codsamanta]

Personally I would've kept Sean Bean as Zeus but I absolutely agree with the other 2. I haven't grown up with the series, but I love mythology so I was very excited when I found out about this story. Always love to see your thoughtful and well-researched recasts. Even if I don't always agree, it's very easy to understand why you chose certain people.

[@annaf.1617]

I like Luke Evans as Poseidon but I think Misha Collins would also be great in that role. But that's just my opinion :)

[@terrillgoodwinejr537]

Toby Stephens as Poseidon

[@dylantennant6594]

Hey, other idea, can you cast classical mythologies? Not just for the Riordan stories, just in general. And heres my vote for Norse Mythology, Mads Mikkelsen as Odin.

[@lonebattledroid4474]

I got to read these books

[@Jack-zz7bc]

They're definitely worth it.

Yes

[@xthelinesx419]

I really hoped for Jason Momoa as Poseidon. I think he would perfect fit with your criterea.

[@demigodgamer8517]

Indeed. I mean, look at him in Aquaman, and then look at Poseidon in a lot of fan art or official art. Give him a Hawaiian shirt, some beach shorts, and a tropical drink and BOOM, Poseidon.

[@darthbricksempire3606]

@@demigodgamer8517 Well he’s kinda more intimidating than Zeus then, isn’t he?

[@qrx4057]

Or not

[@tati0380]

That would be perfect

[@boopbleepbloop]

I think he could be a really good Ares too! His performace as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones was great

[@thatkidnoyek5493]

You definitely nailed this on the head

[@annatabner8459]

When we get to the other gods, please consider Bradley James for Apollo! I think he is the perfect choice!

[@staceysbooknook]

I have never seen a more perfect casting, they would absolutely nail those roles.

[@Dahrkness]

Love these castings

[@Potterholic1]

Chris Hemsworth as Zeus (if only because he's basically done the Thunder God job in the MCU).

[@fashionablechangeling2003]

I casted Andrew Lincoln as Zeus, Karl Urban as Poseidon and Jude Law as Hades

[@connorgolden4]

Karl and Jude are great but I’m not sure about Andrew as Zeus. Great actor but I just can’t see him as Zeus.

[@chriswilson7288]

@Bryan Seeker umm in mythology actually they age is different. Hades is the oldest poseidon is the mid and zeus is the youngest of all his siblings. Which could have played a factor in yr picks if you wanted. Zeus was the last born which allow him to save the rest of his siblings which in turn made him deemed their leader then later they drew lots to decide who gets which domain and role of governing.

[@theodoretex1068]

After this series, please do "Heroes of Olympus". I would love to to see Piper, Jason, and the rest of the prophesied 7 casted.
