What If Hades Raised Hercules?

Disney's Hercules is being remade in live action form soon. That got us thinking about a different take on the '90s animated favorite. How would Hercules have turned out if Hades raised him in the Underworld? Let's find out!

Fun Fact: From what I know from Greek Mythology, Hera was a villain to Heracles throughout his life. This is due to being jealous of her husband Zeus falling in love with another mortal named Alcmene, something she did not take lightly. So her being evil in this version of “Hercules” is surprisingly true (almost) with an added twist of her being partners with Hades and actually killing her husband.

[@ZhongliArchonofSwag]

To be fair, he sortve unintentionally really pissed her off himself while he was a baby, in the original myth, and Hera is literally the goddess of marriage and family who keeps getting cuckolded. Also they reconciled after Heracles ascends into Godhood. Though honestly her being evil is more accurate then Hades being evil. His original self is a pretty chill dude.

[@joeprovo3627]

​@ZhongliArchonofSwag I know, right?!? He's not "evil", he's just got a goth esthetic that he never got over. And he's incredibly loving to Persephone. Also, Fun Fact: Cerberus has been proven to mean "spotted one." So, Hades is also a big dork who named his dog "spot." Let that sink in, and do with it as you will.

You guys should write an Atlantis one where Milo is chosen instead of Kida. Maybe have his grandfather be a royal atlantean from a neighboring kingdom. Maybe he found a way to the surface and wanted to explore. However as the years pass, he began to loose his memory of where Atlantis was. So he gave up his immortality, got married, had a son, got a grandson and began to try to find Atlantis.

[@saphirawinters7028]

​@Little Alex Horne Thank you. I figured it would work since the mother crystal only chooses hosts of royal blood. So with Milo being 1/4 atlantean and royalty at that. I figured that would explain why he was chosen by the crystal instead of Kida. Plus seeing a drawing of crystalized Milo would be so cool!

I just love how cruel and straight up evil hades is just by torturing, bullying and being sadistic to Hercules, not just to punish Zeus but also just for his own self indulgence. Jiminy Cricket: YOUR HORRIBLE!!! You’re An Irredeemable Monster!

Hades: Ohh! Whoa! What took you so long, idiot?!

[@user-mm8tt7xz3w]

Nice reference to puss in boots the last wish

[@AudioAlure]

I personally think it's out of character for Hades to be PURELY evil as the majority of his motivation for being an ass was his resentment of his brother instead of just being evil for the sake of evil. That being said, seeing a more sadistic Hades would interesting. Though then I suppose he would be too similar to Scar from the Lion King as he's pretty much Hades but more evil.

[@ForgottenHonor0]

Seeing Meg's spirit swirling around Hercules and Persephone while they're kissing is...kinda haunting...

[@ianwyche4941]

This was a fun and unexpected twist to the movie. Hercules is one of my favorite Disney movies, and I like the darker tone you've added to it. I like how Zeus's traits were more like his clash of the titans counterpart not having all of the gods being related was a nice touch. I also liked the daughter of Hades as she was just as or even more helpful than Meg.

[@jasminkrieger8464]

Would be hades and persephones daughter but Technically related to him his Cousine

Hades in Disney has a daughter with malificent mal and hadie is her half Brother he has with persephone Hey in the descendant books

[@jasminkrieger8464]

Well if they Go with the Disney universe of course

[@TwinRiver100]

i really enjoyed this. Persephone made for a good Meg replacement. I definitely think you could've had Phil in there, probably as one of the ghost comedic side characters. I think maybe a minor thing I could see to have some of the Disney humor for that era would be having a few ghost characters that both Hercules and Persephone have met and are on good terms with. For that whole ghosts rally around them scene when they're all chaotic and disorganized, maybe the ghost eyes could be weird zombie colors and when Persephone turns on rally mode and have some recognition, they say something like yo, that's our good buddies. And maybe make some kind of Avengers/football style line saying like what's the play capt'n? and you mix some of the serious fight scene bit with some of the humor w/o taking too much of the overall tone away. I liked the mixing Herculues and Orpheus mechanic tying him to the underworld. Also I think he and Persephone make a great pair with a relationship that builds overtime. Glad I got to see this as a version here on fanscription. I know its unlikely to become something official, so I'm glad y'all at channel awesome got to make it in this form. Great job loved it. keep up the good work with these. I love watching these takes.

[@jasminkrieger8464]

I Would laugh if they instead of persephone get mal From descendants

[@lionheart3574]

Wait I thought she is Hade wife not his daughter lol.

[@TwinRiver100]

@Lionheart ...oh yeah, good point. Oops 😬 😂 I guess you could put this as one if those Disney alterations or something. Since in the original movie they made Hera Hercules' biological Mom. But thank you. That slipped my mind. I still think this is a good character and the whole custody kid aspect I think works as a new dynamic for Persphone if that's the direction they wanted to go instead of with the original mythology source material and all that.

[@loki4807]

This would make Zagreus and Hercules adoptive brothers.

That was one solid fanscription. And I think I like it more than the original. It’s much closer to Greek Mythology, love the relationship between Heracles and Persephone more than the one he had with Meg, definitely had a better build up and payoff. And it was interesting hearing about Heracles’ time in The Underworld.

[@cyberceltic]

I think this take would have been a better release than the one we have. I like the callbacks to others stories from mythology like Hercules looking back like how Orpheus did.

[@gothnerd887]

And the real ancient Greek dark age as well as Persephone's secret epithet

[@FunFilmFare]

LOVE this Fanscription episode. This one has very Little Mermaid vibes: with Zeus' forbidden love with a human, and Hercules wanting to see the surface world. How a Fanscription episode about "The Little Mermaid"? Like what if Eric knew all along he was saved by a mermaid?

[@MovieFan1912]

It’s funny looking back on comments like this and remembering that we did eventually get a Little Mermaid FanScription, though what we got was much darker than we ever expected, possibly the darkest episode in the series. I’m still waiting on a sequel to that one.

[@f-zilla7347]

Had Persephone not come, I imagine what that ending would be like; Hercules is killed by Hera with the dagger, and Hades begins to take out the other Olympians. Athena looks to Ares with a knowing node, as the sister strikes Hades only her to be killed. Ares is hit as Hades laughs. The God of War looks to his uncle and scoffs, claiming that though Hercules is dead, there is still one last Demi-god more powerful, ruthless, and deadly than any before him. Hades smirks and claims Ares is bluffing, but Ares simply says that this last son of Zeus left him and served Athena for a time, but that now it was time for Hades to face Ares’ monster. Hades, becoming tired of the chit-chatter, simply states that he can deal with some big scary monster, but at the end of the day, he’s the real deal. In his last breath, Ares looks to Hades and simply says “You don’t know what a true monster is, Hades”. With the opposing Gods dead, Hades and Hera decide their next move to renovate Olympus, but suddenly a large tremor radiates thoughout the mountain. Hade’s servants arrive scared and terrified, telling the god that someone freed the Titans from Tartarus. Another quake, and Hades looks down to see the titans climbing up the mountain. On the leading head, stands a lone warrior. Chains wrapped around his arms, the red tattoo on his body being his most recognizable trait. His face, a look of sheer rage and determination. Hades froze. He had seen that face before, but he never believed him to be a son of Zeus. To undermine Ares’ words was a grave mistake, as now Hades must face the combined might of the titans, lead by none other than the infamous Ghost of Sparta… *To Telos Arhizi Torah*

Knowing that, listening of this version of disney movie is more "moving" and exhilarating.

Fascinating alternative Hercules. Though I am a little creeped out by Hades' wife being made his daughter...but Greek mythology can be really weird at times, so this wasn't too out there. So in conclusion, this was definitely worth the watch.

I always had an idea of a Hercules sequel with Eris, the Goddess of Discord, as the villain. Jealous of her brothers success, she releases Kronos with an army of giants and overthrows Olympus. This forces Hercules, Megara, Phil, and Icarus and Cassandra (his friends from the series) to travel down to the Underworld to free Hades, the only god left that's powerful enough to defeat Eris.

[@srstriker6420]

What about Thanatos or Nyx Goddess of night?

[@JWeb66]

@SR Striker Eris feels more thematic as chaos and discord personified while Thanatos and Nyx are more neutral beings as death and night. Plus this creates a sibling relationship between the hero and the villain.

I think there is a fanfiction similar to this where Hades raised Hercules in the Underworld and Megara became a fury.

[@RedLeif1]

I liked this a lot. If you do do a sequel, it'd be neat if you had Jason and the Argonauts be a part of it, since in the myths Hercules actually goes with them for part of the journey, and since you're already adding Poseidon into it as a major player, you could have an Odyssey situation for Hercules.

[@Partyboy22]

I'm always intrigued by these Disney Elseworlds fanscription videos. I just recently discovered Disney had a series of books similar to these called Twisted Tales, which reimagine classic Disney stories but adds the whole "What if" premise to them. For example, "Part of Your World" reimagines "The Little Mermaid" with the premise of what if Ursula had successfully married Eric and set about conquering the land and sea. Then there's "Straight on Till Morning" which reimagines "Peter Pan" as an older Wendy having never met Peter in her youth going to Neverland for the first time with Captain Hook. Personally, I would like to see something done with "Beauty and the Beast." I was watching the live-action remake with my girlfriend a while back and I was compelled by the character of Gaston. Mainly it was because I like a lot of Luke Evans' work. But he was always an intriguing character in both the original and the live-action remake. He was essentially what the Beast/Prince Adam once was and what he would've remained as had he not been cursed: vain, arrogant and self-centered. So I posed the question to her: What if Gaston survived but was cursed by the Enchantress to become a beast himself? She found that to be both an exciting concept and an exciting challenge. After all, how do you redeem what is considered an irredeemable character?

[@muigokublack6487]

There's also one for Hercules called "Go The Distance" that has Meg go on a quest through The Underworld to to become a goddess so she can stay with Hercules forever but it involves her facing her past and her fear of commitment.

Interesting. As it's a Disney, the introduction could remain in gospel. I also believe in the possibility of placing a song of the villain (which is missing in the original Disney Hercules). There are two opportunities for this, at the very beginning when he raises/attempts to kill Hercules, I have the song "What am I going to do with you?". We could go over all the kills that don't work, kind of cartoonishly. Where the conclusion would be: "If I can't destroy you physically, I'll do it mentally. Yes! You'll replace me here! Oh, Zeus would hate that! This is awesome! I am awesome!". Or when your Hades raises an army of the dead. Probably with a dance bit where he imitates Michael Jackson in Thriller.

I'm going to be SOOOOO disappointed once Disney does Hercules in live action

[@chasehedges6775]

Same. I’m sick of these Disney remakes

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Same, Although i'm still gonna watch it just for the hell of it. And I'm still curious as to who they'll get to play Hercules and Hades, In fact could you imagine if James Woods portrayed Hades physically for the first time? Because i can not picture him wearing all that makeup and having a blue flame for hair.

Yeah that's another one I'm gonna skip out on.

best video of 2023 yet. amazing work guyss. keep it up

[@gothnerd887]

The art in this is amazing👏😍

[@tmntgirl4life]

Love to see a fanscript about Jafar raising Jasmine it has great potential and was a small element in “Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Viser” a parody play that’s free to watch here in KZbin

[@derrickdinwiddie8759]

Great job guys! What made you bring Morphios into the story?

[@abbyg5740]

I know that the original greek myths in the Disney movie and this reimagining were changed for the plot but making Persephone Hades's daughter was crazy and I did not expect that.

[@KS-PNW]

Less gross than her being both his niece and his wife like she is in the mythology. I mean pretty common within mythological pantheons but still pretty messed up when you think about it.

[@ThyDungeonman2]

These what ifs are always AMAZING! My request: not so much a SEQUEL video per se, but how about we tackle some other myths or even the Iliad/odyssey “as told by Disney” and set in the same universe? There’s so much spin-off material here!!

[@slenderfan-101j.g.4]

perhaps the "ariel raised by ursula" fanscritpion might come next

[@coopercane500]

I 100% agree with you on "Go the Distance," Walter. It's one of my all-time favorite Disney songs.

[@noorbohamad5796]

same here

[@PrincessX-ke8tj]

I think it would have been fun to keep Meg, but have her as her orgin, the Fury Megara, punisher of oath breakers. Could have Hades break a promise to Hercules, with her stepping in to help Herc. Would also be interesting to see Hercules' relationships with other gods of the underworld, or dead heroes and villains.

[@abbeymotzer4060]

I watch your videos and love the fanfic and the ideas... I love it!

[@Lonewolf0840]

Got some good James Woods mannerisms in there!

[@broEye1]

One thing could've made an interesting story is Herc maybe conflicted over his two halves. Like, the power and authority to stop everything and take over was only something available to an actual god, not a half-god Hero. Loving his mother, he's worried whether letting his human side be burned away (either through Persephone's underworld fire or perhaps by gaining some ambrosia) would sever his connection to her, but at the same time keeping that side would make him unable to rule or properly use the powers he needs to stop Zeus and Hades.

[@binkman853]

Incredible! Thanks so much!

[@therookery9911]

I would love to have seen the expanded ideas that you originally had all the nuggets that you mentioned having left out sounds like it would have been amazing

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Love your content!

[@ChannelAwesome]

Glad to hear it!

[@ir3mix3d]

this was amazing, a good spin on the original. Herc needed the hades hood as his war clothes to be scarier but yeah this is pretty perfect.

[@forestgrump4723]

This was an interesting listen thank you

[@homegirl5000]

I was captured the whole story. Great job. Thank you!

I JUST saw the trailer and now it drops? Oh, do the gods smile upon us all today. Bring it on , Fanscription. Give us that Disney Elseworld magic!

I really like this series. Please keep it up

[@theafterglowavenger]

That was excellent! WELL DONE!!

[@n.abookgirl2457]

Well this was most interesting, great to see more admiration for Disney's Hercules. 🙂👍🔥⚡

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

My biggest Fanscription requests are: What if Greem Lantern didn’t have Paralax? What if Som of The Mask was actually good? What if Tim Burton Directed Batman Unchained? And What if Mulan had an amazing sequel? What if The Green Hornet was directed by Christopher Nolan? What if Minecraft Storymode 3 happened? (I know it’s not a movie but I have a huge soft spot for this franchise, especially after Season 2) EDIT: Just finished watching the Fanscription, absolutely loved it, it In some ways reminded of Feynx Rising and the dark tone was well implemented!!! Must give y’all credit for being brave enough to leave Meg out of the story, I know wouldn’t lol. Absolutely loved it!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@VexenDmitri]

Im curious to see the Batman Unchained one

[@srstriker6420]

@@VexenDmitri yeah because I thought Poison Ivy being like Sil from the movie Species along with Scarecrow and Clayface and also a subplot where Selina is pregnant with Bruce’s child

[@artemisdanube4941]

This was so good!

[@SP8inc]

Man you outdid yourself this time!! This was amazing, loved the journey tbrough the underworld, in an almost dante's inferno fashion! Persephone made a great romantic character for Hercules, and Zeus's whole story was dramatic and satisfaying, more than most stories with him. Really wish someone could make this, even if its not Disney.

[@scarletcroc3821]

Seeing Persephone as Hades’ daughter really doesn’t feel right, but this is a fantastic video and what if scenario

[@johnenigma8506]

This is already better than the live action Hercules.

[@legoking6165]

Which one? The one directed by Renny Harlin or the one directed by Brett Ratner?

[@SirPreyas]

Magnificent fanscript!! I can't wait for the next one!

[@ChannelAwesome]

I'm glad you like it!

[@theeyeoftheyinyangs]

I actually loved this story. Well done. 👍

[@katielinzie7444]

Here’s a crazy idea: What if Frollo raised Esmeralda? What if she were the bell ringer instead of Quasimodo?

[@HaloisTight]

I think it'd be interesting if he raised her to be his successor.

[@srstriker6420]

@@HaloisTight and if Queen La found Tarzan first before Jane does?

[@ramirezthesilvite]

3:24 I never noticed before but..... Where are you looking, Hephaestus? Way to sneak that one in, Disney. Not sure Aphrodite really minds, though. Making Hera a villain more in keeping with the original myth is a good change.

[@lilrex2015]

This was so good. 47 min absolutely well spent

[@esotericexplorersmartinez493]

[@SupportGamin2024]

Hercules as the new hades? Sounds like an interesting origin story

Meanwhile in the mortal realm, crom and the hyborian gods are fighting the dark spirits.

I would love to see a part 2 of this please

[@somebody4952]

I keep replaying the gag of Hades shutting the doors, only for them, after Hercules's rampage, fall over. That's so good
