Once I saw this comment that said “the biggest historical inaccuracy that Disney has ever committed is portraying Zeus as a happy family man” and that gets me every time
-
The thing that gutted me the most about Hades never realising that Hercules wasn't dead all those years is the fact that he is literally the God of the underworld - The place where dead people go. If ANYONE should know when someone's dead, it should be him! Like did he just never look around and think "hey, has anyone seen Herc?"
-
"Is [the doggy tag] in case Zeus forgets his name?" Given the number of illegitimate kids Zeus fathered, probably.
-
The words ‘NOT BEING FAITHFUL’ over Zeus and Hera having a positive relationship is the best thing ever.
-
like it or hate it, Disney's Hercules did do something right. they managed to summarize about 90% of Greek mythology with 5 simple words "-and then along came Zeus"
-
One thing I always found unique about this was that Meg appears to be older than Hercules. How many Disney movies have a romance with a female character who is older than the guy?
-
"Don't go to film school. Watch internet videos." Yes, Professor Ellis.
-
"How did the Greek gods hide a kid from the other side for 18 years?" stares in Zagreus
-
I just enjoy the movie because it has a unique visual style, great music, Meg, and that himbo as a protagonist.
-
Given Zeus' infidelity, the whole "Hercules has a dog tag in case Zeus forgets his name" was hilarious! lol
-
I just rewatched Hercules and I think I finally realized why I loved it as a kid. Its not a history lesson, not a serious moral. Its just trying to have fun, which is what I'm looking for at the end of the day. But I've heard talk of a live-action remake and I'm pretty concerned they'll try to make it more "accurate" and "serious." At that point you're taking away the only thing Hercules has. I don't exactly watch that movie for the great plot lol
-
I always thought that Hercules equated “the fame and fortune” with “acceptance.” That’s all he ever wanted.
-
As far as Hades not knowing Herc was alive for 18 years, I could buy the argument that Hades is a god and immortal, therefore, 18 years might actually not be a terribly long amount of time for him.
-
"Zeus got around" - literally ever Greek problem ever
-
"An entire canon of Bella Swans" made me laugh and I had to go back a few times until I stopped laughing.
-
“Look at how long this video is”. Oh man, those halcyon days when 37 minutes was long for a youtube analysis video
-
Honey, you mean HUNKULES
-
2:46 "Indoor plumbing - it's gonna be big" hahaha, oh my God, in the German dub she says "Elvis lives - don't tell anybody"
-
I loved megra she wasn't your typical "princess trope" she was very scorned and imperfect she really stands out because she had a relationship that broke her heart prior to Hercules, she was not as virtuous as other disney princesses and did everything for self preservation... even her character design was far different. Megra doesn't value integrity and shows the different side of the coin. A very human transcendic side.
-
Also, Hades is like the death receptionist, he would probably know if someone was death or not.
