He was also just doing his job. Hades never actually lied to Hercules at any point in the movie and he did let him retrieve Meg’s soul after she had died and did tell Hercules that he would die in the process and he wasn’t wrong as it was only gaining immortality at the literal last second that saved him and helped him succeed. Hades didn’t pull any other tricks to prevent Hercules from leaving the Underworld.

I always felt like there was an older brother/younger sister kind of relationship between Hades and Meg. I mean, he never outright abused Meg, just manipulated her for his agenda and he was pretty fair with his dealings. Always gave others a chance instead of just outright killing them.

In mythology Hades is actually pretty nice worst thing he ever did was kidnapped his wife. Zeus on the other hand there's a laundry list of things and several words I'm not allowed to say.

That's quite an interesting theory, I never thought about it like that but my favourite story in Greek mythology is of Hades and Persephone falling in love. He kidnapped her and took her to the underworld, worried that she might become homesick since her mother is responsible for keeping the world alive with harvest, he had beautiful gardens built for her.

What about the story of Orpheus

In Greek Mythos Hades is the oldest, then Poseidon, and Zeus is the baby with Hera, Hestia, and Demeter being his older sisters as the story goes.

I always saw Hades as a neutral character that nay wanted some respect and a different position in Greek deity lineup. He was also just making sure a prophecy that the Fates had made come true and we know that ancient Greeks did take prophecies as serious matters.

I’d have more sympathy for Hades if he was actually kind to the souls in the underworld instead of treating them like servants or pests.

We had to learn about Greek mythology in school back in the 90s and 2000s. I remember being unable to do my assignment because it was about Zeus, and I learned he had r-worded his own sister (his canonical wife btw) who married him out of shame. He also r-worded a lot of other women. When people tell me that Hercules he is the son of Zeus, my reaction is "Yeah, him and every other idiot in greece". So, Disney did us a huge favor by rewriting the real villain, who has always been Zeus. When you look into the myth9ology (be prepared to dislike the greek gods, you've been warned. lots of r-wording, even on the floor of a goddess's throne) Hades really is more of a hero than any of the other gods

Too bad they didn't tell the actual story from Greek mythology. Zeus wasn't a caring loving father like the movie portrayed, and Hercules wasn't Hera's son either. But unfortunately not a "kid friendly" story.

4:29 *younger brother. Zeus is the youngest of his siblings. Hades, Poseidon, Hestia, Demeter and Hera (yes, that Hera) are all older than him.

Hades is my favorite God and Disney Villain

Maybe that is why Hades skulked around the party before making his presence known. He wanted to see if Hercules was as powerful as he fear and Zeus as careless as knew knew and thought. And seeing the kid lift Zeus so easily being praised by Zeus As well as taking a Thunder bolt Zeus over rulling Hera in taking it away and being carefree in how Zeus threw the bolt nearing hitting many gods and goddesses until (I think) Aries deflected it into a column. And I bet he offered when he offered the candy he expected Hercules to grab his finger because children do that all the time and see if Zeus would chastise Hercules for hurting someone else or apologize to Hades for that happening or somehow take accountability. BUT NO instead Zeus made jokes and clearly didn't care about Hercules hurting others.

I thought Hades really wasn’t the bad guy but rather misunderstood and that he was only doing his job. Plus all he wanted was a change of scenery since being surrounded by dead people for centuries would eventually become depressing. Hades never actually deceived Hercules and he did give him a chance to retrieve Meg’s soul.

if i remember correctly hera was hercs tru villain out of rage and jealousy she had tricked herc into killing his family and tormented him. she also butchered anouther one of zueses sons multiple times till it stuck.

There's only two versions of Hades I like. James Woods version and Hades from Lore Olympus. Plus yeah like everyone said...Hades was never a bad guy!! I wish people would stop making him so... Its the same for Anubis.

1 thing about Meg and Hades specifically is he might have also tried to protect her from the other gods such as his brother thunder and nephew the Sun. We all know Zeus and while in the movie his creating was not addressed and reckoned for Hercules it doesn't mean that he still wasn't like that but why would Hercules ask about that and why would anything tell him about that And while Apollo isn't the same he still causes problems in his love life mostly in that often they get crushed does young or both (certain expectations so exist please see Greek Mythology for more information) And also I have heard things that indicate he might have been protecting him from Poseidon too. Under his aegis he can tell them to back off she's under his domain not any of their's and (reluctantly) back down. Which may disillusion Meg more if she knew and just views him as a lame boss and the other gods as just uncaring about individuals if she doesn't know.

not sure 🤔 but my guess is probably both the villain 🦹‍♀️ and the hero 🦸‍♀️ of the story 😉

I agree with you he was secretly the hero

This is what good writing and good acting do to make a movie timeless... James woods rocked this role ❤❤❤

It's always a good wife who has to reign in an over zealous man.

Does Hermes know he just got confused for Poseidon?

Only images if the hades in the movie was like the mythology hades I'm sure we would love hades even more than we already do

I feel this is just a head canon because he Hades in the movie overthrows all the gods and frees the titans that didn't care for humans at all.

We can also delve into Zeus' criteria for Hercules to restore his godhood by becoming a "true hero." When Hercules overcame adversity, saved countless people, and became a positive role model for the masses to aspire to, this wasn't enough to satisfy Zeus, and instead of explaining things and instructing him, you know, that thing fathers are supposed to do for their kids, he peaces out of the conversation and leaves Hercules confused and frustrated. The action which ultimately makes Hercules a 'true hero' and restores his godhood? Self-sacrifice; altruism. Giving up his life for the wellbeing of another. It happened to be the woman he loved, but when Zeus explained the nature of his 'true heroism', he described Meg as "that girl." Implying that sacrificing his life for *any* other person would have worked. For Zeus, being a 'true hero' doesn't mean doing good and having integrity, it means self-sacrifice.

The music you used here really makes me restless and nervous. I was unable to listen to the words and wanting to skip forward. Would you kindly use a more calm tune in future videos? :) That would be very helpful to take in the information better.

Interesting

Hades good guy

i agree with most of this except one aspect..: Hades Freeing the Titans from Tartarus/Tartaros.. if he wanted to keep the Gods and Herc in check, therefore keeping the world Below safe, Why release the Titans at all? all that would have done is end the lives of Millions if not Billions of people thus sending countless more souls down to the underworld for Hades to torment. Yes Zeus would have died in the Titan attack. But the Titans would have killed EVERYONE ON EARTH if not reined in. Hades would not have been able to keep the Titans under his control forever nor does he have the power to send them back by himself. He is certainly NOT the good guy by any means

There is a giant hole in you theory which I otherwise find compelling. Why bring the Titans back? He did not then bring them out say ok you're free serve me because I caused it to happen which would be an exploration of those kinds of natural phenomena just remove Polythemus over there and set up for a second movie where the gods and Hercules seal them into Pandora's box. Or Hades loses control of them and Hercules helps him seal them and explain all this to him before his job to keep balance and win Hercules over our fail to buy still get his help because many giant monsters wrecking havoc

This theory falls apart when you take into consideration that the rest of the gods on Olympus were either siblings to Zeus or Zeus’ children. If this unbalance were to be true, then Hades would have had to restore balance by destroying all the other gods. And in doing so, Hades would still be the villain.

I just want to put my input on things I know so here's what I know. Yes, Hades is not a bad guy. He didn't even want to go to his nephew's christening. He was just doing his job also. Hear me out and Greek mythology. There is Persephone Queen of the underworld and the goddess of spring and one of the stories Zeus gave up his daughter Persephone and she married Hades also. One more thing. Hercules was born mortal Zeus had gotten immortal pregnant also. Hades didn't hate Hercules hadiest asked Hercules if he could tame service. Just an input.

I guess kratos did the right thing by killing Zeus huh.

🤔

You don’t protect

nno

I think Zeus did fear Hercules overthrowing him as Super Cool God King Emperor of Everything which is why he made Hercules prove himself a true hero and when he asked for a life with Meg he stripped away his immortality rather than give the new motorized Meg her own immortality after all she proved the size of her heart being big and heroic by LITERALLY DYING for Hercules true under her servitude with Hades she was immortal but she knew she was as Hades himself put "off the hook" she knew now death was possible and still gave her life for Hercules So by the speciality of True Hero Zeus gave to Hercules she passed and was able to gain Immortality and goddesshood too. Instead Zeus feared being usurped in the future made his son mortal again.

This is revisionist. reason being, a lot of the gods have dominion over a lot of natural aspects and they aren't as destructive about it. there is no reason to think that Hercules would have been destructive if he have had his full powers. The reason he was destructive as a mortal is because his parents had no means to get him to control his strength as it was godly. no way hades actually cares about mortals on that level, that's wishful thinking.
