This Is A Work Of Art!! | Hercules Reaction | FIRST TIME WATCHING AS AN ADULT!!

Hercules Reaction is today's video!
Hey everyone! Join me as I watch Hercules today for the first time as an adult! I saw this movie one time when I was like 5 and don't remember much of it, so we have to go back and revisit it!
Disney tackles Greek mythology in this animated feature. Hercules (Tate Donovan), a son of gods, was snatched as a baby by Hades (James Woods) and forced to live among mortals as a half-man, half-god. Now a teenager, Hercules needs to perform a rite of passage on Earth to prove himself worthy of living with the gods on Mount Olympus. With his plucky satyr sidekick, Philoctetes (Danny DeVito), along for the ride, Hercules must learn how to use his strength to defeat a series of evil creatures.

I don’t care if the movie is mythologically inaccurate it’s still an incredibly fun movie and Hades might be my favourite Disney Villain James Wood is legit comedic Gold

[@matveynoname7083]

For some reason, I was most embarrassed that Narcissus was made a god.

[@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375]

@@matveynoname7083 This movie is insanely inaccurate

[@philipgood5041]

Don't worry, most mythos fans I know enjoy it too. In fact, Hades from the Percy Jackson books website has gone on record saying that he is amused by his portrayal in this movie.

[@peterseaboldt1250]

I like to imagine James Woods being lured into the recording studio with Reese's Pieces. "Ooh, a piece of candy... Ooh, a piece of candy... Ooh, a piece of candy..."

Of his qualities, honesty stands out mainly.

[@БелаяВорона-б6й]

[@fynnthefox9078]

Yeah, he's the chillest god in Greek mythology.

[@kriszgamer0013]

He's the guy who doesn't want to show you around in his family. It's for the better.

[@katarinawikholm5873]

As long as you don’t try to seduce his wife, he’s really reasonable. And only a moron w a deathwish would try to upset her. Overly Sarcastic Productions did an excellent summary of the situation.

[@andrewjones6583]

Fun Fact: When James Woods was auditioning for the role of Hades, he genuinely thought he would not get the role so he went at it acting like a sleazy car dealership man just for the fun of it. The studio loved it so much the completely rewrote the original idea for Hades in favor of James’ portrayal

[@irik_art]

Interesting.❤

[@The_Underreactor]

Hades and Frodo the best voice casted villains

[@original__gmebvy]

When Hades says “it’s only halftime”, it’s actually the middle of the movie in terms of its overall runtime.

[@coltonashcroft626]

[@SpacialRend7]

Hades is another hilarious Disney villain, like Yzma! James Woods’ portrayal of his character is golden, from his fast talking dialogue to his explosive outbursts. It’s awesome that James Woods would reprise his role as Hades in other media as well, like in Kingdom Hearts fro example.😉

And in so doing ruined the recognition of those two names for everyone for the rest of time. 😆

[@WhiteFangofWar]

My favorite Disney classic. Hades did indeed have his position forced on him by Zeus, mortals just automatically fear a God associated with death. Between that and the way all the other Gods fawn over Zeus and reject Hades he actually qualifies as a sympathetic villain.

[@Zechariah_Mathieson1871]

The Funny thing is He isn't even the God of Death, That is Thanatos. The Son of the Goddess Nyx (Goddess of the Night). Hades or Pluto is just the God of the Underworld, sometimes also referred to as "Hades". In the actual Greek Myths Hades is usually Neutral and isn't really a force for good or evil.

[@HazbinCovenWitch]

​@@Zechariah_Mathieson1871 YES! THANK YOU! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT _THANTOS_ IS THE GOD OF THE DEAD!!

[@SpacialRend7]

Fun Fact: The thing about that Scar pelt is really interesting because the animator of Hercules, Andreas Deja is also responsible for animating Scar in The Lion King. So, that is an excellent Easter egg!

[@twist58]

Which perhaps explains what Scar's fate was like after the hyenas devoured him?

[@SpacialRend7]

@@twist58 I think that pelt was actually a reference to the Nemean lion, one of Hercules’/Heracles’ labours. But that is a good theory.

[@KrystalAnn0688]

Also, in The Lion King, Zazu says to Mufasa that Scar would make a very handsome throw rug

[@WhiteFangofWar]

There's actually a few similarities between films. Evil charismatic brother of the king/top God seeks to kill their son so he can seize power only to be destroyed by the son.

[@rebeccamichael626]

Mufasa - "What am I going to do with him?" Zazu - "He'd make a very handsome throw rug." Mufasa - "Zazu." Zazu - "And just think. Whenever he gets dirty, we can hang him out and beat him."

[@SpacialRend7]

Like The Emperor’s New Groove, Hercules is one of Disney’s funniest films. I couldn’t care less that it’s loosely based on the Greek mythology, It’s still a great film! One of the best that director’s John Musker and Ron Clements produced.

[@njivwathomassilavwe2056]

If I'm remembering correctly, Hera didn't actually like Heracles. He wasn't her actual son

[@craigmarriott6759]

Hercules was the result of one of Zeus's many affairs. Also Hera tried to kill Hercules with a couple of snakes when he was a baby.

[@Ragnarok345]

Oh, she _despised_ him, absolutely loathed. On top of him being the biggest, most well-known mark of Zeus’ constant infidelity (with her being the goddess of _marriage,_ of all and among other things), he was also _actually_ named Heracles, which translated literally to “Glory of Hera”. So…ya know. The irony added even more insult.

[@Alysa-Aiday]

​@@Ragnarok345: The way I remember it; I did a connect the dots puzzle of Cancer the Crab in Elementary school, & the story said Cancer clamped a claw on his foot, he used his other foot to stamp/crush the crab, & there was one - Likely the immortal - head left on the hydra, after many times the heads grew back. So the constellation is a constant reminder of Hera's failure.

[@Bostonterrierslol]

Let’s be honest; without James Woods, no way it’d be nearly as iconic

[@Kickinthescience]

That’s every great Disney villain

[@aaronalkor]

“Is this an audience, or a mosaic?” I love that line 🤣🤣🤣

[@BenjaminDenverstone]

James Woods as Hades is great. In fact, he's been voicing Hades in almost all of the Disney projects that have the character. I love this movie and I'm glad you were able to react to it.

[@rebeccamichael626]

Not to mention any time Hades is in Kingdom Hearts.

[@armyantmajor2048]

Unsurprisingly, in the actual myths Heracles/Hercules is an illegitimate child of Zeus. Practically the theme of a good 75% if Greek Mythology.

[@darioabanera6460]

Greek mythology in one sentence: "unfortunately, Zeus was horny"

[@HazbinCovenWitch]

Hera isn't even his mother. I forget who is though. 😅

[@armyantmajor2048]

Heracles/Hercules' real mother I the Spartan Queen Alcmene.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

not too mention in the original greek myth, Hera whose angry at Hercules for being one of Zeus’s bastard offspring from when he cheated on her, punishes Hercules by enchanting him into a rage and he murders his entire family including his children and to find redemption for this he has to accomplish the 12 labors

[@XShadOBabeX]

“Does Zeus just naively trust that it’s gonna be okay?” Well remember, Hades is his older brother. Though in this movie the gods tend to act more like coworkers rather than a big (dysfunctional) family.

[@Alysa-Aiday]

Where *_ARE_* Chronos & Poseidon??

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Disney's Hercules is yet another one of my all time favorites! everything about it is amazing especially the voice acting James Woods did a masterful job playing Hades his voice fits the character so perfectly! in fact Hades voice and personality are the two things that make him such an iconic Disney villain! and of course the songs are also so memorable i mean it's like if you heard the songs from this movie on the radio you would say-"I know that song."

[@AnnaCsuzda]

I don't care that this movie is not even remotely accurate to the Greek mythology: Hades is my absolute No. 1 villain, I love him so much, and also Megara is a literal Goddess, everything coming out of their mouths and their scenes together are gold.

My favorite characters are Hades and Cerberus. The underworld design in this movie is very good and creepy, the underworld itself is one place that no one would want be in, it's to scary.

[@Randerson2409]

See, with Disney soundtracks, I've always loved them, but as I've grown older, I've found that which songs I like the most change for almost every movie. For this one, for example, "Won't say I'm in love" used to be my least favourite from this movie. I still liked it, but not a great deal. It is now my absolute favourite from this film

[@quinnmackay-smith9352]

[@jasmidnurmi9857]

This is an A + movie, but one has to ignore the original myth almost completely. I love this Hades, he is funny as all heck, but I adore how in the original myths he's not evil. Unlike the gods of death in most cultures.

[@DLR1997]

Yeah compered to Zeus; he is a saint. He also had the most stable relationship out everyone in Greek Mythology

[@sudsysoap]

well he isn't actually the God of death cause that would be Thanatos. Hades is the God of THE dead and the underworld, but your point is correct either way

[@cam7990]

Honestly, most mythological death gods aren't evil, they're mostly just neutral if not outright good It's just that Christianity has corrupted how we think of the "Underworld" and convinced people that anyone associated with it must be evil

[@Gamer-xy9rf]

You have to admit it to Hercules. He went from zero to million drachma brand really fast.

[@Alysa-Aiday]

They say "Zero to Hero", and you can bet *_VERY HIGH_* they did it for the rhyme!

[@twist58]

Another classic from Disney's 90s Renaissance Era. Directors John Musker and Ron Clements did yet another splendid job bringing Hercules to life! As it was with their past film Aladdin with its whimsical blue Genie, Hades also gives off a lot of improv done by James Woods as Robin Williams did. According to production notes, the filmmakers wanted to give Hades the persona of a busy, fast-talking talent agent.

[@ConnorFerguson23]

Man this movie was my favorite, Hades is one of the best villains, Danny DeVito as Phil is hilarious, it has a good story about Hercules became mortal and can’t control his strength but you can tell his pain and his life about being separated from the gods and his parents is heartbreaking and compelling, so without a doubt this is one of Disney’s best movies.

[@morganspider-manmarvelfan6110]

Danny DeVito makes a good Lorax too

[@zekecasperanddeadpoolzgroovyst]

I agree with you about Hades Evil Lord of the Underworld Dead on 100%. Especially that he is voiced by James Howard Woods and that he gets a after credits voice over at the end. Hades Evil Lord of the Underworld Dead: What d'ya say? It's happy ending time! Everybody's got a little taste of somethin'm but me! I got nothin'! I'm, I'm here with nothin'! Anybody listenin'? It's like I'm... What am I, an echo or something? Hello? Hello? Am I talking to, what, hyperspace? Hello, it's me! Nobody listens.

[@michaelmiles2065]

In the movie, Hades is actually voiced by the fast-talking James Woods.

[@alvaroramajojuan551]

Have you ever noticed that, when Hercules cut off the Hydra's head for the first time, the moment Hades said: "Relax, it's only halftime" it is actually the halfway point of the movie ??

[@frozone-yeah]

What a beloved treasure of a movie, I did not watch it growing up but found my way around seeing it eventually and so glad I did, the animation is top-notch for its time and holds up even to this day, the story is great, it's funny, music hits all the right notes for me and just an overall joy to watch for sure.

[@ИванФилатов-у2з]

In fact, in mythology, Zeus is an unbalanced, hyperactive pervert. And Hades didn't do anything wrong at all, in my opinion, really.

[@westerfrost3701]

As a fellow Disney fan, I couldn’t agree more. Btw, I saw Aladdin: The Broadway Musical a few years ago. It was great!

[@Valendax]

I think 'I am retired' in greek is actually 2 words, I believe that's why they made that joke?

[@HiddenWindshield]

4:08 You remember, at the beginning of the video, where you almost called Hades "Satan"? Yeah, there's a reason for that. In actual Greek mythology, *all* the gods were self-centered jerks, and Hades was no better or worse than the rest. The idea that the guy upstairs is the good guy and the guy downstairs is the bad guy comes from Christianity. Unfortunately, a lot of Hollywood writers (this isn't limited to just Disney) assume that the average American isn't going to be able to understand a different cultural background, so they took Christianity's Satan, slapped Hades's nametag on him, and called it good.

As a child this was one of the Disney films I never saw until a bit later in my life. Even when I got super into Greek mythology in middle school, I don't think I went to watch this movie a whole lot. But when I did finally get to watching it, I loved it of course. Even if it isn't quiet actuate to the actual Greek Myths (Hercules is actually a demi-god for one in the actual myths.) But this movie makes it it's own and it still works very well and the songs are enjoyable. Also lol your reaction to the Scar pelt Easter egg 😂

I’ll never forget when the hype for this movie was building up before it’s release. Those really were the days! And Hades has always been one of my favorite villains, so glad they signed James Woods up for that role. And Stratos the tornado guy is *the* scariest Titan. D;

[@DarkSteven17]

7:01 Since you mentioned playing God of War, I would like to point out that Josh Keaton (who voiced teenage Hercules) also did the Last Spartan from God of War 2 about a decade later after this film came out. And Rip Torn (Zeus) voiced the smith god Hephaestus in God of War 3.

But Hercules manage to defeat Scar and take off his skin and fur, and went back to Greece to training.

[@a.g.demada5263]

You were right about two things : Phil is a faun because it's the same creature than the satyr but in roman mythology, and yes, It's Scar. If you remember of the begining of " The Lion King " Zazu says to Mufasa that he sees Scar as a carpet of something like that. Fun fact : the statue of an angel kissing a woman, visible during Meg's song, is a real one called " Psyché and Love " (it's the short title) exposed in the Louvre museum except they don’t kiss each other (I saw it in real) Also, according to the myth, Psyché become a goddess so I don't understand why they don’t do it for Meg. Always about Greek mythology, I think Zeus has no power of the Underworld or the Sea what are Hadès and Poséidon's kingdoms. By the way, these three Gods and Héra (Zeus' wife) are siblings

[@robertoprestigiacomo253]

For anybody interested in the inaccuracies (they're A LOT): First off, the name is Heracles because the movies uses the Greek names for everyone else. 1:48 - The Muses are 9, not 5. 2:56 - Hera is actually the bad guy in the myth. She hates Heracles and tries to kill him multiple times. 3:19 - Narcissus wasn't a god and if he sees himself, he turns into a flower. 3:40 - Heracles never met Pegasus, which wasn't created by Zeus by the way (he was born from the head of Medusa). 4:00 - Hades is actually a pretty decent god, he never attempts any plot to take over Olympus, and in 2 myths he lets people out of the Underworld because he's moved by love. And he did choose to rule the Underworld. 6:31 - Here they mixed the Fates with the Gray Sisters. 6:38 - Hades helped defeating the Titans. He wouldn't want to free them. 7:16 - Heracles wasn't a god (he's granted godhood after his death). 8:18 - The parents are the only accurate characters. Alcmene is the real mother though, and there was also a step brother, and Heracles always knew that Zeus was his father. The 2 snakes are a reference to a murder attempt by Hera. 11:46 - People actually loved him because he protected his town. 14:27 - He can. Any god can. 14:38 - Philoctetes was a friend of Heracles, not a trainer and he wasn't a Satyr. Chiron trained Heracles and other heroes but he was a Centaur. What is accurate is that satyrs in Greek mythology would try to chase Nymphs. 16:51 - Heracles is shocked by "THE Argo" but the myth of Jason and the Argonauts didn't happened yet and Heracles was one of the Argonauts!!! 16:59 - Hearcles precedes both Odysseus and Achilles. Phil also mentions Theseus and Perseus while on the disk the Minotaur kills Theseus, but Theseus actually did kill the Minotaur and Perseus succeded as a hero. In fact, there is a constellation of Perseus so Phil's dream is already fullfilled!!! Also, Perseus was son of Zeus too so Phil shouldn't be sceptical. 19:40 - Nessus is the last monster that Heracles defeats, not the first, and Nessus causes Heracles' death. 22:10 - Megara was in fact Heracles first wife but Hera drives Heracles mad so he kills his family, including Megara (this initiates the 12 Labours). Megara has nothing to do with Hades. Heracles doesn't go to the Underworld to reclaim her soul (but he does to reclaim the soul of one of his friend's wife). 22:32 - As the god of the Underworld Hades would know that Heracles was still alive, since he wasn't in the Underworld. 25:14 - IX I I are Roman numbers, not Greek. 25:54 - The context of when Heracles fights Hydra is different. Hydra is not giant, doesn't regrow 3 heads for each one that is cut, it has 9 heads and each head that is cut grows back. And that's not how Heracles kills the Hydra. 28:32 - He captures that ALIVE in one of his labours, he doesn't kill it. 28:46 - He wasn't paid to be a hero. He tried in one of the Labours resulting in that being nullified... 29:17 - Heracles never fights Minotaurs, Gryphons, or Gorgons. Also in that scene he's looking at the Gorgon which would kill him. 30:13 - Trojan war didn't happen yet. 31:33 - It is! And technically Heracles should wear that skin for the rest of the movie since it's what he does in the myth. 33:27 - Nearly all Greek heroes (and Gods) are petty and dishonest. 37:36 - Heracles never gives away his powers. 38:13 - None of those Titans corresponds to mythology and one of them is a Cyclop and Cyclopes actually helped the gods fighting the Titans. 38:48 - As Cody himself realizes, the gods defeated the Titans when they were fewer and weaker so they should beat them now. 41:34 - Heracles never fought the Titans. 42:34 - Taming Cerberus is actually one of Heracles Labours... Aaaand to do that he gets Hades' permission first. 42:46 - The Styx river doesn't kill you, it makes you invincible... That's how Achilles becomes invincible. 43:25 - Heracles becomes a god after his death and he never gave up his godhood. 45:10 - Considering how Aphrodite is depicted in Greek mythology that is not out of the realm of possibilities.

I heard Disney is remaking this movie. I hope Liz Gillies gets casted as Meg. She’d be perfect for the role.

Last I heard it was either Anna Kendrick or Emma Stone.

22:06 - Rabbits aren't rodents, they're lagomorphs. No relation to rodents.

I loved when Hercules hit Hades into the river near the end. My thought on that was 'Have a nice swim, Hades!' 😄😁😂

[@alvichopan]

man, the music in this one is so good!! 'I won't say I'm in love' is one of my favorite disney songs

[@shaunamoran71]

5:30. The thread of life comes from Greek mythology that basically; if we die, the thread will be cut.

[@diaborodevil3161]

My one gripe with this movie is hades isn’t evil in mythology the villain should have been kronos titan god of time

[@pyronuke4768]

I love how much James Woods channels his inner sleazy car salesman for the role of Hades

[@the_UF365]

I can just imagine them making a live action re-make where every cast member is replaced except Danny DeVito.

Hades was the best part of this movie

[@a.g.demada5263]

He's the best villains

[@buildaggedonarmanaziie4462]

I have some knowledge on Greek mythology, because I took a world history corse once, and literally ALL of the Gods are derived from incest, and many Gods like Zues himself was a womanizer, and had many Demigod children, and realisticly Hades was the ONLY Good God, aside from the others, but he is always played up to be evil, like in movies like this one.

[@isaiahadams1996]

Fun facts: - Before James Woods got casted as Hades, Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton and John Lithgow aka Lord Farquaad from Shrek were all considered to play Hades. - John Goodman was considered to play Zeus before Rip Torn got casted as Zeus. - There’s a theory that Hercules and Ariel from The Little Mermaid are cousins. - This is a personal one; The Hydra scene scared the living hell outta me as a kid, especially when it grows multiple heads. - Hercules was originally gonna have a sequel to it but it got cancelled.

[@matveynoname7083]

Why in most films about Greek mythology (Percy Jackson, Clash of the Titans) is Hades the antagonist, despite the fact that in mythology he interfered in the affairs of other heroes? Overall, James Woods did a good job. I would like to hear Hades with Nicholson's voice, as it was originally planned.

[@SpacialRend7]

Pretty sure it’s because any character that’s associated with hell-like themes in most people’s eyes screams evil. Kinda the norm, really.

[@cassecorrea]

The Percy Jackson movies were written by idiots, because in the books Hades was not a devil looking villain

[@auricstorm]

Hades in P.J. books wasn't (as) devilish. I'm pretty sure it's an actual plot point that the humans assume he's the bad guy and the real bad uses that

[@SaguaroBlossom]

About the Scar rug, in Lion King, Zazu (the bird) makes a comment to Mufasa about Scar making an excellent throw rug.

[@ItsTotallyCody]

I know I’ve seen it

[@GenAqua]

Love Hades and Adult Hercules. I've loved Greek Mythology since Elementary School...I still do.

[@dorukgolcu9191]

The Hydra is DEFINITELY like a hydra, yeah 😂
