What they did with Hades is really unique for Disney, instead of making a generic sinister and maniacal villain he acts more like a businessman or a lawyer and given the New York aesthetic of Thebes it works well with it.

Disney would never show how Hercules was really conceived. Zeus has a history of having one night stands and to make it worse he would disguise himself as the husband of the woman he holds interest in.

You know the reason Hercules (Heracles/Herakles if we want to be more accurate since that is his actual Greek name, while Hercules is his Roman) story kinda sounds like a Superman story is because DC loves to use Greek mythology as a base/inspiration for most of their characters, which even in the comics/movies/shows they point it out, like in Justice League War Diana says they are like the gods, Batman is Hades, Flash is Hermes, Shazam is Zeus, etc etc

[@A_VeryIdea]

Haha, even the darker stuff in this was massively toned down by Disney. Greek mythology is messed up lol. Also, Hercules' real Greek name is actually Heracles. In the myths his mother was a human woman, because Zeus is a horn dog. And him being named after Zeus' wife was just adding insult to injury.

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.

[@a.g.demada5263]

Technically, the theory about Hercules and Ariel is true because Hercules is the son of Zeus and Ariel is Poseidon's grandaughter, and the two gods are brothers. Personal fact : Hades' french voice actor is also the french voice actor of Nicolas Cage

[@AmberyTear]

Since Disney completely flipped all of Greek mythology on it's head in this one, MANY people in Greece were badly angry at this movie for such tacky distortion of their culture. I love the movie but I also understand angry Greeks here. There was a lot of Christian influence here: we gotta make the main guy living on a cloud to be GOOD and the guy ruling the underworld gotta be EVIL, like WE are used to think about it. :P

[@jackjacques7495]

@Morse People from Greece aren't a hivemind. They're individuals. Some people there didn't like it, but many others did. Disney/Marvel is butchering Norse Mythology by changing everything about Thor as well, yet people rarely talk about it. It all depends on who you ask. Im sure there's many mythology-buffs in current "Scandinavian" countries like Denmark, Norway and Sweden, that don't like how Disney currently treats Thor, replacing him with a woman, giving her his powers, making Odin to be an incompetent leader who only won wars because of his daughther Hel (who's not even in his daughter in the myths), etc. Anyone with a brain knows they couldn't make a Disney movie about a cheating, rapist God and his psycho wife who killed mortals everytime she was frustrated with him. They're adaptations. They're takes on the myths. Its ridiculous that we pick and choose which to get mad about, and which not to. If people are mad about Hercules chaning the myths, the should also be about Thor doing the same.

[@jacquelineking5783]

Yeah it is not remotely like any of the myths. However the television spinoff has alot of neat references to well ancient Greece. Still not accurate but the writers clearly remembered their ancient Greek history classes.

[@clairelin0216]

In the Greek myths, Hades wasn't evil at all. In fact, he may be the only Greek god who is both honest and loyal, the evil part usually comes from his association with the underworld, which he's doing everything by the natural rules of the underworld. Zeus on the other hand was the complete opposite to his older brother. This caused a lot of troubles with Zeus' children. The queen of the Olympic mountain is Hera, who is also the goddess of marriage and Zeus' older sister. Zeus have this tendency to take young and beautiful women and having a lot of children even when he already promised Hera that he will devote himself to her. Hera, being the goddess of marriage, couldn't stand Zeus' ways, so she takes her rage out on all the women that Zeus had an affair with and went on to kill all the children that come with these affairs. Hercules is one of those children that Hera went out of her way to kill according to the original myths, Zeus slept with a mortal woman who is already married and the woman gave birth to Hercules(Heracules in Greek myths). After Hercules was born as a demi-god, Hera sent two giant snakes to kill Hercules when he's still a baby because she couldn't stand the idea that Zeus had a son who is not only a demi-god and not purely god, but she also couldn't stand the fact that the son of Zeus isn't her son.(Yep, the animation want you to think that those two are sent by Hades and they look kind of cute, but those were huge snakes that's much more scary in the myths). But I guess Disney have their reasons that they didn't want to tell people the original myths about this story, so I guess they settled on a version that is under the assumption that Zeus didn't do anything to turn his sister into this jealous woman who is constantly seeking revenge on the women Zeus slept with and trying to kill all the children that come with it because that's too dark for Disney. And settled on writing Hades as the villain is more convenient because he's always misunderstood because of association with the underworld, which Zeus kind of forced him into taking in the first place after they overthrew their parents, but Hades wasn't bitter about his job in the underworld.

[@whade62000]

I mean the changed the bit where Heracles (NOT Hercules unless we use the Roman names so Zeus should be Jupiter, pick one Disney) is one of Zeus' many illegitimate sons born of cheating, not his wife's (that's why he's half-mortal) and Hades is a good guy as Zeus' long-sufering older/younger brother (their father ate them because of a prophecy that his sons will overthrow him but then he vomited them back up and Zeus announced that they've now been born a 2nd time and since he was eaten last because he was the youngest, he came back up first so now he's the oldest). So real Hades'd have plenty of reason to hate Zeus but he's actually a chill if emo dude who runs the Greek underworld and also kidnaps and marries the daughter of the goddess of nature and that's why we have seasons 'cause she has to be with him in the underworld for 50% of the year.

Short Greek mythology lesson for ya: First, the name Hercules is actually the Roman version of the name. His Greek name is Heracles (pronounced Hera-cleeze). In Greek mythology Heracles was a demigod (meaning one parent was a god and the other parent was mortal). In Heracles' case he was a love child of Zeus and a mortal mother. Zeus is known for being promiscuous and had sex with many different mortals, even changing forms to do so (in one story he turned into a pile of gold and in another he turned into a swan). Obviously his Olympian wife Hera was incredibly angry about his sexual escapades, but she couldn't say much against it since Zeus is the King of the Gods. Hera, on the other hand, is the Goddess of Marriage and Childbirth. When Heracles was born, his mortal mother had no idea that Zeus was the father. She named him in honor of Hera with the hope that she would bless him, but this actually angered Hera because the baby's existence just shoved Zeus' extramarital love life in her face. Having him being a namesake just added salt to the wound. One night two snakes slithered into the crib and Heracles' mother went in to save him, but the baby had strangled the snakes to death with his godlike strength. When Heracles became an adult he met Megara and had three children with her. He was living a happy life and in petty revenge Hera made Heracles insane. In his rage he killed Megara and his children. When Heracles regained his sanity and realized what he had done, he wanted to atone. He ended up talking to a follower of Hera since she is the Goddess of the virtue he felt he betrayed. The follower suggested, upon Hera's orders, Heracles complete 12 labors in order to regain his dignity. The reason Hera suggested these 12 labors is because she was still hellbent on making Heracles' life miserable and the labors she tasked him were so dangerous that she thought he'd die trying to complete them. Thus, her intent was to kill him. However, he succeeded in the 12 labors which made Hera even angrier. The story continues throughout mythology but Heracles went on to remarry and had three children and continued to have a relatively happy life. Eventually the Greek gods realized that Zeus' powers were strongest in Heracles compared to all of the other love children he had, and Heracles was offered a spot on the Pantheon of Gods. At this point, even Hera agreed so long as he was the only illegitimate child to ever be offered such a spot in the future.

[@samblustein1918]

For the record, Hera was actually awful a lot of the time, even for someone who was hurt by Zeus all the time. She chucked Heracles off the side of a cliff cause she didn’t think he was good enough

@@demonic_myst4503 I know what you meant, but an introduction doesn't mean that everything has to be immediately accurate. From this movie, kids will know the basics. Such as what gods & titans are. Who are Hercules' real parents? What is Hades the god of? Do you think parents introduce Michael Jackson to their kids by covering all of the controversies or just by having them listen to his music and watch his videos? Painting him as a man that everyone in the world worships.

@@jp3813 first impressions are hard to break and kids its even harder what u learn as a kid sticks with u and no kid is going to go look up if the films acurate or any myth after it their just going to think thats how it went and carey that into life

A bit late but, Tim and James collaborating? Here for it. Two of my favorite reactors watching one of my absolute favorite Disney films.

[@SpacialRend7]

Oh sweet, a reaction collab! I love Hercules, such a great John Musker and Ron Clements film, and one of the funniest since Aladdin and The Emperor’s New Groove! Speaking of funny, Hades is a riot, I love his hot-headed outbursts, lol!

'Then along came Zeus' is the best meme ever.

[@matheusmariani3108]

this movie's biggest mistakes is having Zeus as a loving father, but the biggest one is having Hera loving Hercules as mother

Exactly! Obviously someone didn’t do their homework.
