[@DanGamingFan2406]

Megura is such an underrated Disney character. Hot as hell, sarcastic wit, and excellently voiced by Susan Egan. The film wouldn't be the same without her.

[@Chuuzus]

she was so great! thank you for the super thanks 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@MegaWicked89]

Susan Egan was also Belle in the Original Broadway cast of "Beauty and the Beast". She also played the role in Los Angeles, during the production of "Hercules". She would do the voice recordings for "Hercules" during the day, and then perform in "Beauty and the Beast" at night.

[@OpticalSorcerer]

Not a huge fan of her given that for most of the film she's trying to kill Hercules--granted, one may argue she was forced to, but at times it's implied that Hades is providing incentive rather than strict force. I'm glad she gave her life to prove her love for him, but her previous actions made the romance feel (mostly) disengenuous to me.

[@destinyjones5697]

​@@Chuuzus I hope you do the Disney Tarzan 1999 movie. The movie and music is so good

[@annabelledrake2027]

@@OpticalSorcerer bro wdym it’s literally implied that meg CANNOT deny him, he literally owns her soul. It’s not a “small incentive” situation, it’s “do this and get your soul/life/freedom to make your own decisions back.” She tries to say she won’t do what he says one time, and he reminds her that he owns her, and so she eventually has to go along with him. If she denied Hades, he could literally just kill her/destroy her soul. If someone owns your soul, you don’t get the option to say “I don’t feel like listening to this person”, because dude, they own your soul, they can make you do whatever they want. Meg is very clearly not happy with her situation and is following Hades’ orders begrudgingly because she has no choice. She’s constantly making quippy remarks and shading Hades because she doesn’t actually want to be listening to him. She just literally does not have a choice, so she rebels in little ways with the little power she does have. It’s a huge part of her character.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

The way Zeus's VA Rip Torn, delivers the lines "My boy, my little hercules" both times in the film Is so powerful...I can hear the fathers love in the delivery And that's something that is very special, to be able to do.

[@nadiaxantho]

@@diandriasmith889 yes, we've been taught greek mythology at my greek school, in Greece. What I'm saying is it's silly and funny how he compares it to Percy Jackson as if it's the original story and as if hercules is based off of that instead of actual greek mythology

[@diandriasmith889]

@@nadiaxantho (I hate when I type something and it disappears) Yes, I was agreeing with you lol. I wasn't asking you specifically if you've heard of it. I was asking that question to other people who have never heard of Greek gods, any of the stories, etc. Chu even said, "Achilles? That's from Troy!" And I was thinking, yes... because all of this is from the same mythology. One isn't taking from the other. They are all taking from the same lore. I just don't know how they've never heard of it. It's in so much popular media. And I say that as an American!

[@mckenzie.latham91]

​@@SonyaFlynn Lion King, Beauty and the beast, and Hunchback Totally set the precedent for Animated films going forward The scope of the 2d animation, character and story Mixed with Music and songs that were so on point that they have yet to be surpassed by most animated films since Alan menkin did the score for beauty and the beast and Hunchback and they have never been surpassed You also had the brilliant work of Elton John, tim Rice and etc for Beauty and the beast and Lion King... Amazing stories of character, love, darkness and coming of age that was not afraid to get a bit dark and a bit fun when needed to sell stories of the heart and lessons of meaning. I have never seen a movie that did what hunchback did I have never seen a movie that captured the coming of age theme that Lion king did And beauty and the beast had such amazing music and art that I have yet to see an animated film that gave me thstbsamenwokder As I felt watching the beast transform back into human etc. That was one good thing about being a 90's kid We got to see some the best examples of modern animated masterpieces that are so unique and well done we use them as a basis to compare everything after. Hercules, Mulan and Tarzan were very good as well and maintained many of the elements that made the other films great But those three to me set the precedent for all to follow from.

Meg's voice actress Susan Egan was also the first Belle on Broadway's Beauty and the beast. There's a video of the behind the scenes of Zero to hero side by side with the animation on youtube and it is amazing, they had real performers sing and do the choreo and animated that, the muses look exactly like them.

Loved your reaction!! I think Liz Gillies would be an amazing Meg, shes got the beauty, swag, power, presence and voice. She'd kill it. Hercules is also I think the best Disney musical. One of my favorites of course but the only disney movie with gospel style music and it is just absolutely stunning. "I can go the distance" is probably my all time favorite Disney song ever. It is such a beautiful representation of music and story writing in a song. The way it rises and falls with the lyrics, the depth of the lyrics themselves. It just exemplifies broadway in such a beautiful way. Hate the other version of this song, this will always be the best in my eyes or ears I should say lol.

Hermes: "i haven't seen this much love in a room since Narcissus saw himself" Chu: he's so narcissistic 😂😂 Fun fact: the word narcissistic came from the legend of a man(good in this) that fell in love with his own reflection. You should look up that story. It's very interesting

[@diandriasmith889]

Wasn't there a girl Echo in love with him? Am I misremembering? lol I can't remember Greek mythology well.

[@aleiaknight]

@@diandriasmith889 yeah. Echo loved him but when she approached him, he was horrified by her. The grief killed her. Nemesis, the goddess of revenge, cursed him to never be loved back by someone he loves. Later he found the pool, looked in it, and get in love with himself. One ending says he fell in the river and drowned. Another that he burned away from his own passion and the ashes turned into a flower

[@ДжесикаИванова-б8ф]

​​@@aleiaknightactually Aphrodite cursed narcissus, not Nemesis . Echo wasn't ugly ,she was a nymph, but Narcissus was not seeing anyone worthy for him (he was a son of a nymph himself). Aphrodite is very important in many stories!

[@aleiaknight]

@@ДжесикаИванова-б8ф Aphrodite cursed him the first time. Nemesis the second. By the time he looked in the pool, he had been cursed twice. And I didn't say she was ugly, I know she was a beautiful nymph. But he was horrified and shocked at her when she revealed herself, which is what broke get heart and killed her

[@ДжесикаИванова-б8ф]

@@aleiaknight the story has 2 different versions either Aphrodite or Nemesis ,never both ! It can't be both !

[@annabelledrake2027]

100% agree. As a kid any movie that was live action seemed like a boring “grown up” movie to me, so these live action remakes all leave an awful taste in my mouth. I don’t know why they keep doing this, it’s not that they’re always bad movies, it just feels like trying to take the past and “fix it” and “refresh it” for newer audiences even though the original movies were already great. Why can’t they just be original and make some truly new magic for this generation instead of just trying to put out what will get the most parents to bring their kids to theatres.

[@faith2188]

Hades in greek myth is not the devil, he's actually one of the nicer gods and doesn't really do much outside of his role. He often gets conflated with the devil due to his role as King of the dead but he doesn't act anything like the devil. He is responsible for the entire afterlife, the reward and punishment, he would usually only make appearances when someone specifically sought him out or wandered into his realm when they're not supposed to.

some cool facts about the movie/how it relates to actual ancient greek mythology (same mythology as in percy jackson) 1. hercules (actually written herakles in the greek version) was a demigod, son of zeus and a mortal princess alcmene 2. herakles did actually marry megara (though she was given as a gift), but unfortunately hera (zeus' wife) sent him insane and he k worded meg & their children 3. titans were the rulers before the gods in the "golden age" which was actually a pretty good time for humans and they had the same humanoid figures as the gods 4. the titans kronos and rhea were the parents of zeus, hades, poseidon, hera, hestia, & demeter and there was actually a war between the titans and the gods, where the gods won and the titans were chopped up and sent to tartarus (a pit/primordial god in the underworld) 5. hades was a relatively good guy (compared to the rest of the olympians), he was never portrayed badly in mythology, didn't try take over olympus, he just gets a bad wrap for being god of the underworld (so kinda like an equivalent to satan & hell) 6. herakles did become a god and lived on olympus, marrying hebe (post k wording meg) 7. love that you caught the lion skin being scar, it was, but in the actual mythology its herakles killing the nemean lion anyway theres a bunch more but i just think these are cool

As a kid, this movie was my old brother’s favorite and I’ll Go The Distance was his favorite song. Meg was my favorite and her song was my favorite. Pretty sure I’ve seen Hercules a million times. Hercules, The Lion King, and The Beauty and The Beast were on repeat as a kid. So much so that the beginning of VHS of The Beauty and The Beast was damaged from watching it so much.
