Prometheus depends on your point of view but I doubt the gods were very happy with him for taking fire to humanity given the fact that he was chained up to be tortured for all eternity for it; Atlas once again is a point of view thing since I do not believe there are any major stories about him being a dick except for when he tried to trick Heracles into holding up the world in his place but on the other hand he was given that punishment in the first place for leading the Titans against the gods; and Helios while not outright malicious as far as I can tell did once allow his demigod son to fly the sun chariot for a day (it did not go well, and the boy died) which is insane and shows a ridiculous lack of care for anything. Also those examples are all Titans, not gods.
@@BWMagus those are Titans. When the Olympian gods were being manifested, the prophecies of them taking over the Titans' places did not bode very well with the eldest. Kronos in some myths essentially started the 'war' when he ate his children (Hades, Zeus, Poseidon, etc) in fear of them being more powerful. There are plenty of other sides of the story, but that's one I've heard.
@@jekyllgottahyde45 I might be remembering the myths wrong but I believe Apollon and Artemis once cursed an entire city with a deadly plague because the Queen(?) claimed that her twin children were more beautiful than them.
I love that Disney Hades is canonically the only Greek god who has to spend almost all of his time working instead of spending most of his time partying.

I’d like to point out that King Louie from the Jungle Book is a Disney villain who had no negative motivations, Scar is the best written, and Hades is the funniest, Louie funnily enough is the nicest
Well in the actual story and myths, Hades was the eldest son of his Titan father, meaning when the Titans were defeated, he was to inherit Mount Olympus. So when Zeus tricked him into pulling the shortest stick, he got sent to his new home, being...well, Hades, the literal Underworld. He was alone, with only the dead, dead who probably hated him for their situation being there. Yeah, after countless years of that, he has a right to be just a bit angry. This version of Hades is not solely a conniving villain, but a man pushed to his stress limits, and is trying to make the best of a shit situation. And when he hears his younger brother Zeus and Hera have a kid well, his spot in the line of succession is pushed back further. I mean, in the myths he did have some good guy moments too, one being the bard that traveled to his domain and played a song so beautifully, Hades actually cried and gave him back the soul of his wife. I mean the bard fucked up half way by turning around but Hades wasn't as bad a guy.
@@michelveilleux1275 I remember it from the Persona series and that Orpheus and Izanagi (who are P3 and P4’s protagonists initial Personae) have similar situation regarding returning their beloved ones back to life
Hades is one of the only Olympians who takes his job seriously and has no interest in conquering anything. Disney's Hades is a unique villain on his own.
"For the Trojans, they bet on the wrong horse" idk why but that had me.dying of laughter 😂. Didn't get it when I was a kid but now that I'm older I understand the reference 😂
@@TheGregster_yt during the war of greeks and trojans, the greeks gave a gift (the horse a big one-its like a statue) to the trojans, the trojans thinking that it was a gift of peace took the horse and let it inside. The night came over while everyone was asleep, the greeks came out from the statue and killed almost everyone
Its also why we call a certain computer virus a 'trojan virus' because it is when you download a file (could be a folder, image etc.) but there is a virus hidden in the data so you dont know its there then it fucks up your pc but snook in on the back of something that seemed to be normal and safe.
Hades was right tbh if Hercules wasn’t in a Disney movie he’d be an a**hole and Meg would get hurt and hades actually tried to stop her from doing that even if it was for his own benefit,can’t say he didn’t tell her so
I don't get it. What is it about that line that gets you? I'm actually curious. Is it supposed to be a reference to the men from the Greek myths in general?
It kinda looks like Hades has been in some kind of self-control therapy. Every time he loses control, he immediately recomposes himself. I'm glad he's working this with his therapist.
@@TrelliessRose Zeus as actually the one to blame as he ordered/allowed Hades to do it and egged him on. Also it is shown that Persephone does love Hades, as when one person tried to flirt/seduce him she with killed them or turned them into a plant (I don’t remember very well.) In the story it usually paints Zeus as the villain and on.y blames Hades for giving Persephone the seeds to keep her there. Hades doesn’t have multiple children and fuck up mortal lives by having a bunch of children and not caring for said children. Unlike Zeus, Hades isn’t some serial r#pist who ruined the lives of many.
Fun fact: in Greek mythology, Hades isn't actually a very mean guy. Sure he kidnapped Persephone, his wife, which is why the four seasons exist, but he treats her fairly well, and he helps Hercules with the 12 Labors. He’s also never the villain in any Greek myths.
@@elise-deusadasvisoes Less of that more of Persephone growing less cold of him while still preferring not to be with him. She recognizes that he is her destiny but Persephone wishes she was still on the surface.
4:57 4 Titans bent on mass destruction of the Gods and Mount Olympus marching forth. Hades: "uh guys, Olympus would be that way." Lythos: "...ZZEEEEUUUUUU-"
If I'm remembering my mythology correctly, which I might not be, the only real mark on his record was that Persephone was effectively kidnapped, and Stockholm'd, but other than that, yeah, he pretty much just kept to himself.
@@DetectiveDorian the thing with mythology is that there’s multiple versions of the story. The one I was told from my family was that hades actually got Persephone to fall in love with him and willingly follow him to the underworld. There’s not just one version of mythology
Do you want to know the full story of that? Zeus throws a party inviting all the gods except Eris the primorial goddess of Chaos. Feeling snubbed she grabs one of Gaia's golden apples and inscribes on it "For the fairest" before hawking it over the wall into the party. Three Goddesses found the apple, Aphrodite, Athena, and Harmonia begin to fight over who is the fairest ruining the party. If this ended there then it would have been a win for Eris, but it doesn't stop there. Zeus has to put an end to the argument so he decides a wise mortal king will decide which of the three is the fairest. The King of Troy was known for being a wise king so he was selected as the judge. Now none of the goddesses were supposed to cheat, but they all did. Athena offered him knowledge in exchange for his vote. Harmonia offered him military prowess and some of the best tactics her father knew. Aphrodite offered to sleep with him and give him one women in the world to be his wife. He chose Aphrodite, got laid, and then picked the King of Sparta's wife. Sparta the military super power. Sparta the nation where they could never let that slide in a billion years. So Sparta declares war. Que the Trojan War. And that is the story of how Eris wiped out Troy with an apple.
I love how after he loses it and BURNS HALF A FOREST DOWN, Meg just straightens up and looks at him like "you done having your tantrum?" I tell ya, Meg is awesome.
Fun fact: Hades was supposed to be a much more serious character, but James Woods basically turned him into the fast talking huckster we know and love.
in reality he wasn't suppose to do that. He was supposed to be more "ordinary evil". But the guys casting Hades thought James version of Hades was so funny and original so they went with that.
@@hoskinsfilms6227 Yes! It is funny how they want a certain kind of character but the person casting will improvise so much so they just change the Script totally. Here in Sweden we have a famous Tv-Show called "Solsidan". (The Sunny Side.) When the directors did the casting they searched for somebody who would play the grumpy/boring neighbour. But the Swedish comedian (Henrik Dorsin.) who casted meant that the worst kind of boring neighbour was those who THOUGHT they were funny and would just not ever shut-up ore take a hint to go away etc. They loved his idea and went with this fasttalking, overfriendly/social but extemly cheap character instead. x,D
Has anyone ever thought about how Hades actually gets cooler when he's angry? The blue flame is the hottest, so Hades actually cools down in most of the moments lol
As a youngster, when I've learnt in a book what the color of a flame indicates about the combustion process, I've figured out when everything's fine for Hades he burns his energy optimally, but when he gets mad or nervous he burns it incompletely so that's why his flames are yellow and red. A scientific accurate and very comical point ^^ !
@@che6737 The closer the combustion process is to being perfect regarding the creation of fire, the lighter it is. Incidentally that also makes it hotter. Hades is composing the flame less perfectly when he's mad. Another fictional example is Azula from The Last Airbender, she has blue flames because she has completely mastered combustion through firebending.
@@april5767 that makes sense. Just like how azusa usually bends lightning but when she loses grip, she bends blue fire. I see now. I appreciate the avatar reference.
Aah ....that's not how that works. Well in a broad sense it does but .....Aah fuck it let me explain. Soo you see fire simply a chemical process of how efficiently you're converting the fuel and the oxygen into co2. There are also other ways to do it which completely disgard that...for eg hydrogen and oxygen only form water when burned and they're tremendously hot and aren't blue. Similarly when you burn alcohol it's hot because it breaks down well. Sooo colours really don't do well with telling you the colour. White flames of magnesium are much hotter and hydrogen makes fucking bombs and shit. Blue simply means complete combustion of carbon chain. Red or orange means incomplete combustion. Ie you put too much fuel with little oxygen it's gonna burn red and release black smoke (soot) as well. Soo you can say hades produces too much fuel to burn in the nearby atmosphere and the oxygen is less there so it burns red. Put him in an oxygen chamber and he'll burn blue regardless of what's he's doing

James Woods said Hades is actually one of his favourite character. He improvised a lot of lines for him. When Disney was on a budget, he even offered to voice the character for free. (which Disney didn't agree)
@@blacklight6090 Blue fire is actually one of the hottest fires Red/orange/yellow is around 1000 degrees lower in temperature compared to blue or even the clear flames you'd see on a candle wick
@@nexcipher6229 Don't get me wrong, that was wrong but he is way better than what the other gods did. At least he treated her nicely and let her....... Kind of.
@@nexcipher6229 Yeah, but look more into that. He felt feelings for his neice (as always, incest in greek mythology) and he ask Zeus about it, edit her dad, and he told to just kidnap her.
Kinda ironic that out of all the deals in this movie, Hades is the only one who is true to his word. He offers Hercules that Meg will be protected for his super strength. Meg gets hurt and Hades keeps his word so Herc get his powers back. Herc offers his soul for the chance to save Meg, he saves Meg and goes back on his deal by leaving after he saves her. Meg goes back on her deal by betraying Hades after she offered her servitude to his plans. So Hades kept his deal while Meg and Hercules went back on it the first time it was convenient.
Hercules didn't go against anything. When he became a God, Hades couldn't take his soul anymore because he uptained immortality. It was less of him betraying Hades and more of him just finding a loophole.
@@Loopimay I...um... Look, I am generally not a stickler for grammar, but that whole "immoral" thing. I think you meant "immortal." It is a slight misspelling, but makes a significant difference. Although considering how most of the Greek pantheon does things, him becoming a Greek god does also have those connotations, so...
Alastor reminds me so much of Hades. They’re both such moods and unhinged while seeming chill. And they both deal with souls, while toying with people.
Zeus: Having multiple wives and treats everyone like a shit. Hades: Do his job efficiently and have a lovely romantic relationship with Persephone. Disney: So anyway as I was saying...
The Persephone he kidnapped... And Zeus only had 1 wife; he just also had a dozen mistresses and hundreds of one night stands. Win one tiny war against time itself and he thinks he's entitled to all the world's pussy.
That's why the villain always more popular and relatable than the hero I never feel so happy to know the reason why i always hate the protagonist in disney movies 😂😂✋
@@BWMagus now that's disgusting... I never know god can be this.. disgusting... Well, we never know what people in the past think of while decided to make him god.. 😅
@@BWMagus no, Zeus has two Titan wife’s before Hera. He turned one into a fly and ate her and killed the other I think. Hera was the third choice as he didn’t want a half god and half Titan son as he was paranoid of being overthrown
More like leaving for milk on every woman he sees while Hera attempts to clean up the mess, be extremely petty about it in the process because Zeus gives no fucks
@@Bubbble_Bear Hera doesnt really clean up messes so much as she makes messes out of the poor women Zeus forces himself on and whatever kids she might have,, in the original Hercules myth she drives him mad and makes him kill his wife and two children which is such a dick move :'(
@@austinpowers343 Hera does "Clean it up" albeit making the fate of those women as horrible as possible, I think dying quickly was like the lightest sentence you can have from Hera for Zeus forcing himself upon you and keeping the children as either demigods running around or you never heard of em at all (very niche)
