Wrong She is wrong also yes, this Disney movie is based on Greek mythology, so his name should be Heracles, not Hercules but back to the point your sister was wrong
Hercules: *Is in terrible pain from his skin burning off* Also Hercules: "yeah I'm dying and in pain, but I'm just gonna climb a mountain and dig a grave, while I'm at it"
unlikely, hercules was supposed to be a demigod..a symbol of strength part of that role means enduring pain and dealing with death in a fitting manner. he wasn't real...and letting a symbol die on his knees from pain doesn't set a particularly "strong" example
amuro kaiser It’s all about your region. If you’re from the East it is true that it does translate to Segata Sanshiro. While in the West it translates to Chuck Norris, pardon my mistake.
Funfact: Herakles loosely translates to "the glory or pride of Hera". Zeus sleeping around tried to calm his wife saying "look I made dis for you" hahaha worth a shot old man.
his name in Greek is Heracles. The Romans changed it to Hercules because they wanted to. I like Hercules better it’s easier to pronounce. I just love the way It sounds, it sounds somehow legendary and epic. Heracles is hard to get my Head around and I am not used to saying Heracles. Hercules sounds more epic! Also the translation of his name was interesting. I did not know that until now.
Heracles literally means Hera’s Vengeance...so now it did not appease her what so ever ! Hera is quite a despicable caracter in my opinion, I understand her anger at her unfaithful and sexually obsessed husband but why does she always had to attack the poor women that were basically in almost all cases raped by her husband and why does she had to curse all the offspring that he got from his fucked up affaires , like the children did not do nothing.
@@SakiBlablabla I think it was to show that even the Gods weren't perfect and had flaws. It could also explain why the world and us mortals are so well messed up. Who knows..maybe we are a reflection of one another.
I feel that Zeus has a self-righteous attitude since he claims to be the king of Olympus therfore feels like he can be a vile P.O.S with no consequences
@@sondread1525 He kidnapped Persephone because Zeus told him it was the only solution to marry her ! In other versions, Persephone and Hades made it like a kidnapping because Persephone's mother didn't approve their relationship or Persephone ended up in Hell by accident and Hades fell in love with her.
Both Artemis and Athena were virgin goddesses, as were a lot of other female deities in the Greco-Roman pantheon. Considering their male counterparts' track record when it came to relationships, such as Zeus or Apollo, it's not that weird.
Original story: So like, Hera is the villain- Disney: Nah, Hades is basically Greek Satan, let's make him evil uncle. Original Story: .... Disney: And Hades dies, too. Also Hera is a sweetie. Original Story: What the hell ?! Disney: Don't ya mean Underworld ;)
Greek gods can’t necessarily “die” but they can be injured so greatly or disappear that they won’t ever be able to have a physical form ever again. In Hades’ case when he is punched into the river he doesn’t die but he does lose his physical body, shape, and form.
Seeing Hercules save Meg when I was a kid was godly. That was definitely a defining moment of who he is in the movie and being The Chad amongst Chads that he always was
1. Hades deserves better. I loved the Hades in the Disney movie but for the Gods sakes, he's not Satan. He's not evil. He's just a dude who oversees the underworld and is maybe a bit salty about not getting a place on Olympus with the other major God's 2. I think this is the first version I've heard where he marries Athena. I thought she was one of the maiden goddesses 3. Zeus is more that one guy who's no longer allowed within fifty feet of a school or women in general than a godly Barney Stinson. Barney sleeps around with consenting adults. Zeus rapes women and celibate twelve year olds
bowties are cool Hades is my favorite Greek God. Like you said, he mainly just does his job. I have heard somewhere that if you were to modernize Hades, he would be the guy that prefers to stay at home to watch Netflix with his wife than to go out to parties.
Hades is the only god who doesn’t rape, is FAITHFUL TO HIS WIFE, actually does his frickin job, isn’t abusive to his wife (who wasn’t kidnapped, but wandered in and basically said I’m going to stay)
Mariah Zeh there is one myth where he tries to get with this nymph named minth or something by taking her to the over world, but then Persephone gets gets jealous and crushes her into a plant, creating mint. That's the only one I've heard though
Mariah Zeh That is one version. There are other versions were he does kidnap her, but in one version that I know of, the kidnapping part was actually Zeus's idea. Zeus: Yeah, you can just kidnap her. Everybody else does it. Plus, I'm her father so it is totally okay because I'm giving you permission.
I learned in my mythology class that he does trick her in one version by giving her pomegranate seeds to eat. Once you eat something from the underworld, you can't leave. Apparently some other cultures have that same myth.
So... Remember when the Titans were all like. "freeze him!" "Melt zeus!" Remember when the twister came in and said "blow him, away." When I was a kid I asked my dad "why didn't he just blow him?"...... Now my dad's reaction makes sense.
+Jon Solo thank you so much!! This might be my favorite episode of "Messed Up Origins"!! I grew up watching Disney's Hercules as a kid, and now knowing the "true" story of Heracles instead of Hercules, i liked the REAL story now more than the one in the Disney movie!!!!
I actually think now by comparison Disney butchered the story really bad from their version. Cutting out contexts, switching character roles just to fit generic tropes for a children's hero story. Hera = good mom, Hades = Bad guy of everything.
Wanna know something intersting....I am Greek and I knw this story like I know my name from 3 years old.....Oh...and aparrently his name is pronounced as I-RA-KLIS The first letteer is pronounced like the i from the word important The second ones are pronounced like Hera the greek godess and the last are like K and L sound together like the word close then just put and I together insted of and O and then an S and KABOOM you have IRAKLIS
Hercules was one of my favourite characters ever, the way I was rooting for him throughout the story and all his challenges 😂 was so invested! I first came across him in a Greek mythology storybook and still haven’t seen the Disney version, it’s time to get into it!

I’ve never heard of a version of Hercules where he marries Athena at the end. In everything I’ve read, his last marriage was to Hebe goddess of youth. Athena was a virgin goddess that swore off men. She would never have married Hercules
Hannah Shae yeah me too I was shocked so I even Google about it but Athena is a literal Virgin,, she gives the men her kids which she produced with her thoughts as a gift or so they said
This was such a great video!! I used to hate the disney adaptation of the myth because it had nothing to do with actual thing!! But listening to you explain it i can see some similarities!!
I read Hercules’s last wife and eternal companion was Hebe, Zeus and Hera’s daughter. Though Hebe was the goddess of youth, she was treated as a second-class citizen by her mother and siblings. In fact, Hebe was the official cupbearer at Mt. Olympus
The only story in the entire world, where I love both the Disney movie and it's mythology origins, equally. Hercules is my favorite non-princess Disney movie of all time, not just because it's a fun and very good movie. It also introduced me to Greek Mythologies and made me read about them and ancient Greece in general, which is my favorite fictional topic of all time
Jovan Mitrić, Dude I keep seeing you every week mentioning “Bambi”. Bambi has been made a laughing stock though by the actual standard public due to cutesy “BIRD!” and ice skating. And how they just use the child Bambi. I mean how much Disney merchandise do you see of adult Bambi?
It's fine it's not like anyone can expect you to get everything perfect, I love your content by the way and I'm sorry if my comment feels a bit...preachy?Full of myself?? I didn't think it would actually be answered or really noticed so..sorry
Danae Twitchell Yes she was but so was Athena as well as Hestia,there is more emphasis placed on Artemis because of her Hunters but that doesn't change the fact Athena was a maiden goddess as well
Yes, she was a maiden goddess. Those were not her children, just men she favored a lot and helped out in their adventures and stuff. You're thinking of the Percy Jackson books, not the actual myths.
I know it's not Disney pre say but Disney bought out Fox so I'm now gonna say. Do Anastasia her life was very messed up as well. I should know as I have researched her. But would love to see what you come up with.
I mean, not really. WW1 goes not so well for the Russian and in the process of running begomgomunism.exe the Tsar and his fam get put under house arrest by damn dirty commies. Anastasia is kill - shot in the basement with the rest of her fam. By commies, who were presumably dirty.
@@sambeck2510 they were killed by a simple popular revolt, your "commies" came almost a decade later when the Bolsheviks gained the power after a civil war, also dont know if it matters but soviet means majority in Russian
I could be wrong, but a version starts that Heracles was put in the wildernis to see whether he would survive as a baby. Athena heard his crying and brought him to Hera - who didn't know who the baby was - and fed him. Supposedly calling Hera on her name, enraged baby Heracles who bit Hera and then spewed brest milk which created the Milky Way. Some versions also mentioned that Zeus made Heracles a full god.
Please make an Artemis origins video! I’m a big Greek mythology but and I’ve done my own research but its always fun to hear someone else’s findings :) It would also be cool to hear if you know anything about the connections between Artemis, Hecate, and Persephone as the triple faced goddess.
Man I low-key loved that his mother was like "Damn Zeus tricked me into letting him hit Lemme name my baby after her so she won't take out her wrath on us." Then Hera tries to kill him anyway
"Incest doesn't matter as much to the gods." So true. As a matter of fact, they are kids of a single bloodline. Also, in jest, we who love Greek mythology say that Zeus is his own father and make up funny stories as to how.
I was sat in my car yesterday trying to figure out if there were YT vids about mythology and the like - and you showed up in my recommended! Sent you a follow, and now on your Greek playlist before I work through your other videos. Thank you for these and all the work you do to create them. :)
There were a couple mistakes besides the Athena thing as it was Hebe he married the Titans were off to. The Titans did not escape it was actually another brood of Gaea and her new husband Tartarus the Gigantes as they were called.
Let's see... Perseus, Athena, Hebe, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Ares, Tantalus, Dionysus, Persephone, Nemesis, Hermes, and a whole lot of others... according to Wikipedia he also had children with at least two of his daughters, and his grandmother. Greek mythology is seriously messed up...
This is what we learned in 3rd grade ( I am Greek btw) . I like it more that the movie . I also liked this video because it has more details than the one they told us .
Great video as always, but one inaccuracy: In Middle-Eastern/Mediterranean culture, the Cup Bearer was not "just another slave", they were actually the second-in-command to the King. It was seen as a highly important duty because of all the intrigue and poisonings of royalty that happened in their courts - so only someone who was extremely trusted by the King would be appointed to that position in which they would present the King's food and drinks, and often taste them first.
Another correction: Heracles never married Athena, and Athena was never married; she's a virgin goddess. Heracles actually married Hebe, the goddess of youth. Still his half-sister but you know, gods will be gods.
The version I know is similar to yours but the ending Is different, instead of marrying Athena Heracles marries the daughter of Hera (I forgot her name)
Requiem, Jon Solo should ad Superman, Bible and Dragon Ball parts into Hercules video After all, Disney's Hercules is not so much based on the actual myth and is instead based on Superman with Bible's Samson and Delilah and Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball trown in for the good measure
You forget to mention that he gains Hera's pardon, and that his classical Greek name Heraclese can be translated as "Hera's Glory". Just a tidbit I always found interesting.
Zeus- hey bros I just saved your lives so I’m ruling Hades - well no sh*t we were stuck in dads stoma- Zeus- TOO BAD Zeus- oh and you can rule the ugly underworld while I rule Olympus and Poseidon can rule the beautiful sea *Later* Zeus - Well.. since i couldn’t keep it in my pants, the world is now HELL. Zeus - Oh well... TIME TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO SCREW OVER
Small detail you forgot about the nessus bit. It wasn't just the Hydra venom that was lethal, it was also the centaur blood mixed with it. Centaur blood was believed to be incredibly acidic to human flesh
Also great video I loved it. And nothing is to messed up for me lol. As I love Greek mythology this was so cool. I've seen Disneys cartoon and two live Hercules movies so I know that not all are the same. One live movie said he married Hebe. But had it right that Hera Was the one messing with him. The other live one was still about Hera missing with him. Between all three and what I've seen and read of Precy Jackson I knew more than I thought about him. I still leaned something from it I always do.
This origin story is quite depressing, and seems he was a lot like his dad when it came to women lol...but I will always love the Disney version since it's part of my childhood ^_^ I think it would be neat if Disney did a true sequel where he somehow gets the curse of madness and attempts murdering Meg and their kids, but that might be too gruesome for Disney *shrugs* so I dunno. Anyhow, great video and great channel I'm enjoying this segment!!!
Maybe they will, they are making live action remakes/sequels of famous Disney movies now that tap into more mature themes. Who knows we may get a live action Hercules movie that's closer to the myths. :)
Just wanted to add that Hercules/Heracles was originally named Alcides by his mother; he eventually changed it to Heracles ("The Glory of Hera") in an attempt to pacify Hera; it didn't work. Also, the infant Hercules was briefly suckled by Hera (she didn't know who he was somehow); biting her breast too hard caused milk to shoot out into the heavens and become the Milky Way. He also gained at least some of his strength (or it got a divine boost) from drinking Hera's milk.
I am convinced Disney just gave Hercules Superman's origin. Think about it, a superstrong child from the heavens raised by kindly farmers, grows up, talks to his actual father and becomes a hero.

settlement gamer maybe you shouldn’t try to correct people if you don’t know what you’re talking about
Majdi jones Remember that you do not tell me what to do, all further statements you make a irrelevant. It's over
This is the earliest I’ve ever been, and I am SO ready 😂
SAME!!!
Same
This was such a great video!! I used to hate the disney adaptation of the myth because it had nothing to do with actual thing!!
But listening to you explain it i can see some similarities!!
Would you please do another video on Hercules? He was always one of my favorites as well, both the Disney and origin. Love you so much Jon! You rock!
"I don't think incest matters that much to the Gods" lmfao well that's an understatement
Yes i heard that he killed his own wife megara and his own children
Under Hera’s spell, that is. He didn’t intentionally kill them, Hers caused him to do so
I read Hercules’s last wife and eternal companion was Hebe, Zeus and Hera’s daughter. Though Hebe was the goddess of youth, she was treated as a second-class citizen by her mother and siblings. In fact, Hebe was the official cupbearer at Mt. Olympus
Jen’sDollhouseDrama I thought ganymede was the cup bearer at olympus
+Evan Gately
He was. Ganymedes served as the gods' cupbearer alongside Hebe.
Boss Isaac Oh okay
Talk about a shitty mother in law...but a good spite to Hera after all the shit she did to him...get with her daughter.
The only story in the entire world, where I love both the Disney movie and it's mythology origins, equally. Hercules is my favorite non-princess Disney movie of all time, not just because it's a fun and very good movie. It also introduced me to Greek Mythologies and made me read about them and ancient Greece in general, which is my favorite fictional topic of all time
I love your videos!❤ The hard work and effort really shows in how professional everything turns out 👍😊
Hercules is my favorite Disney Dude. I hated almost all the princes and to me Herc was such a likable goofball.
The real Hercules from Greek Mythology is far more interesting than the Disney movie.
The Messed Up Origins of Bambi!
Jovan Mitrić, Dude I keep seeing you every week mentioning “Bambi”.
Bambi has been made a laughing stock though by the actual standard public due to cutesy “BIRD!” and ice skating. And how they just use the child Bambi. I mean how much Disney merchandise do you see of adult Bambi?
Already did that
No Noobs i don’t understand how any of that correlated to the person’s original comment...
9:19 WAIT WAIT WAIT I JUST LEARNED ABOUT THE GOLDEN FLEECE IN SCHOOL! This is why your in my top 10 favorite TH-camrs
I am for another Hercules video including his tasks, I'm getting my niece into Greek mythology and I love your content!
The best person to binge watch during my 2nd quarantine!
Hebe not Athena, Athena was a maiden goddess
You're right. I had a brain fart when saying my lines :(
It's fine it's not like anyone can expect you to get everything perfect, I love your content by the way and I'm sorry if my comment feels a bit...preachy?Full of myself?? I didn't think it would actually be answered or really noticed so..sorry
Wrong, Artemis was a maiden goddess.
Danae Twitchell Yes she was but so was Athena as well as Hestia,there is more emphasis placed on Artemis because of her Hunters but that doesn't change the fact Athena was a maiden goddess as well
Yes, she was a maiden goddess. Those were not her children, just men she favored a lot and helped out in their adventures and stuff. You're thinking of the Percy Jackson books, not the actual myths.
I have been wanting to request this!
I know it's not Disney pre say but Disney bought out Fox so I'm now gonna say. Do Anastasia her life was very messed up as well. I should know as I have researched her. But would love to see what you come up with.
That would be awesome!
I'll take that challenge. Anastasia was assassinated with the rest of her family as a young girl. The woman claiming to be her was a fraud.
Neveah Potter - Harry's Twin Oh GOD, I just realized that’s a result! Holy crap it’s a self fulfilling prophecy!
I mean, not really. WW1 goes not so well for the Russian and in the process of running begomgomunism.exe the Tsar and his fam get put under house arrest by damn dirty commies. Anastasia is kill - shot in the basement with the rest of her fam. By commies, who were presumably dirty.
@@sambeck2510 they were killed by a simple popular revolt, your "commies" came almost a decade later when the Bolsheviks gained the power after a civil war, also dont know if it matters but soviet means majority in Russian
I love watching your videos before I go to sleep. This, by far, is my favorite.
Your videos are so underrated!
I could be wrong, but a version starts that Heracles was put in the wildernis to see whether he would survive as a baby. Athena heard his crying and brought him to Hera - who didn't know who the baby was - and fed him. Supposedly calling Hera on her name, enraged baby Heracles who bit Hera and then spewed brest milk which created the Milky Way. Some versions also mentioned that Zeus made Heracles a full god.
Thank you for sharing that part of the story! Hera nursing Heracles was also how he got his unusual strength!
Messed up origins of Alice in Wonderland!
Free Spirit here i got you shes crazy everything is it on her head fake not real all in her mind
Maria Perez Thanks! Would still love a vid from Jon tho lol
did you watch the Alice series? Hope so and hope you liked it!
Please make an Artemis origins video! I’m a big Greek mythology but and I’ve done my own research but its always fun to hear someone else’s findings :) It would also be cool to hear if you know anything about the connections between Artemis, Hecate, and Persephone as the triple faced goddess.
Who else thinks Jon should have more subs and veiws. His content is so intriguing and fun to watch. Keep up the great work man!
Man
I low-key loved that his mother was like
"Damn
Zeus tricked me into letting him hit
Lemme name my baby after her so she won't take out her wrath on us."
Then Hera tries to kill him anyway
Can you do a story/ video on Theseus and Perseus? I really enjoy both of the stories and believe others will too!
"Incest doesn't matter as much to the gods."
So true. As a matter of fact, they are kids of a single bloodline.
Also, in jest, we who love Greek mythology say that Zeus is his own father and make up funny stories as to how.
I already knew this because I watch summaries of myths and I haven’t watched the movie, but I still like this video tooooooooooooo.
I was sat in my car yesterday trying to figure out if there were YT vids about mythology and the like - and you showed up in my recommended! Sent you a follow, and now on your Greek playlist before I work through your other videos.
Thank you for these and all the work you do to create them. :)
Praise this man for actually getting the majority of the story right
Hercules was Roman, the Greek Hercules was called Heracles.
Same guy
Same guy but with different names.
There were a couple mistakes besides the Athena thing as it was Hebe he married the Titans were off to. The Titans did not escape it was actually another brood of Gaea and her new husband Tartarus the Gigantes as they were called.
It is his half sister he married so it is half fine and half messed up
He probably had hundreds of half siblings.
I would make a list but it would take ages to complete.
Let's see... Perseus, Athena, Hebe, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Ares, Tantalus, Dionysus, Persephone, Nemesis, Hermes, and a whole lot of others... according to Wikipedia he also had children with at least two of his daughters, and his grandmother.
Greek mythology is seriously messed up...
Tony Amofe probably the Alabama part of heaven
God I loved both this movie and greek mythology so much when I was a kid. I'm so happy I found this video
can't believe I've followed you for well god knows how long and you still blow my mind much respect from the UK love what you do
You really should do one on Robin Hood. The real story. That would be really cool
Or The origins behind King Arthur and The Sword and the Stone.
This is what we learned in 3rd grade ( I am Greek btw) . I like it more that the movie . I also liked this video because it has more details than the one they told us .
Thanks so much for making this video can you do one for 101 Dalmatians
I think there no origin for that
Dark Wolf/wild well good point but you never know
It is already messed up
A crazy designer wanted to skin dogs and wear them as a coat.
Vintage Couture than Cruella de vil maybe
Beurnss maybe just an origin story of cruella de Vill because you would have to have a pretty messed up origin to want to skin puppies for a living
Great video as always, but one inaccuracy: In Middle-Eastern/Mediterranean culture, the Cup Bearer was not "just another slave", they were actually the second-in-command to the King. It was seen as a highly important duty because of all the intrigue and poisonings of royalty that happened in their courts - so only someone who was extremely trusted by the King would be appointed to that position in which they would present the King's food and drinks, and often taste them first.
Wow that was a crazy episode!! Loved it!! Thank you
Another correction: Heracles never married Athena, and Athena was never married; she's a virgin goddess. Heracles actually married Hebe, the goddess of youth. Still his half-sister but you know, gods will be gods.
Phil Ingrouille he already addressed that in a pinned comment made two years ago.
@@Disinclude - yeah but people aren't reading it, hence all the more recent comments about it.
12 labours!!!
The version I know is similar to yours but the ending Is different, instead of marrying Athena Heracles marries the daughter of Hera (I forgot her name)
LeArale her name is Hebe
Yeah he corrected it
Requiem, Jon Solo should ad Superman, Bible and Dragon Ball parts into Hercules video
After all, Disney's Hercules is not so much based on the actual myth and is instead based on Superman with Bible's Samson and Delilah and Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball trown in for the good measure
More about Hercules's labors going from 10 to 12,sounds fascinating!
You forget to mention that he gains Hera's pardon, and that his classical Greek name Heraclese can be translated as "Hera's Glory". Just a tidbit I always found interesting.
I think that it is important to note the meaning of his Real name Heracles, which means "Devoted to Hera."
Zeus- hey bros I just saved your lives so I’m ruling
Hades - well no sh*t we were stuck in dads stoma-
Zeus- TOO BAD
Zeus- oh and you can rule the ugly underworld while I rule Olympus and Poseidon can rule the beautiful sea
*Later*
Zeus - Well.. since i couldn’t keep it in my pants, the world is now HELL.
Zeus - Oh well... TIME TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO SCREW OVER
*Kratos strolls in*
Small detail you forgot about the nessus bit. It wasn't just the Hydra venom that was lethal, it was also the centaur blood mixed with it. Centaur blood was believed to be incredibly acidic to human flesh
This was my favourite origin story. Would love to hear more.
Also great video I loved it. And nothing is to messed up for me lol. As I love Greek mythology this was so cool. I've seen Disneys cartoon and two live Hercules movies so I know that not all are the same. One live movie said he married Hebe. But had it right that Hera Was the one messing with him. The other live one was still about Hera missing with him. Between all three and what I've seen and read of Precy Jackson I knew more than I thought about him. I still leaned something from it I always do.
I though Hercules got his face smash by Kratos.
This origin story is quite depressing, and seems he was a lot like his dad when it came to women lol...but I will always love the Disney version since it's part of my childhood ^_^ I think it would be neat if Disney did a true sequel where he somehow gets the curse of madness and attempts murdering Meg and their kids, but that might be too gruesome for Disney *shrugs* so I dunno. Anyhow, great video and great channel I'm enjoying this segment!!!
Maybe they will, they are making live action remakes/sequels of famous Disney movies now that tap into more mature themes. Who knows we may get a live action Hercules movie that's closer to the myths. :)
Just wanted to add that Hercules/Heracles was originally named Alcides by his mother; he eventually changed it to Heracles ("The Glory of Hera") in an attempt to pacify Hera; it didn't work. Also, the infant Hercules was briefly suckled by Hera (she didn't know who he was somehow); biting her breast too hard caused milk to shoot out into the heavens and become the Milky Way. He also gained at least some of his strength (or it got a divine boost) from drinking Hera's milk.
Hercules/Heracles continues to be my favorite Disney movie and Hero in Mythology 🖤💪🏾💪🏾
Hercules is Goku of Disney confirmed
He will always be Heracles
Who knew most of it because of Percy Jackson and The Greek Heroes xD ?
Timothy Lam I DID AND ALL I COULD THINK WAS ‘PERCY IS BAZILLION TIMES COOLER’ AND JERKULES!!!!
me
100%
Uncle Rick fueled my love for mythology. It’s why I’m taking Latin
Have you guys read rick Riodan's roman based books? I loved them like snickers 🍫!
the messed up origins of pinocchio
Hercules vs Maui who Wil win
Melisa Cangele hercules
Maui. He could turn into Hercules and proceed to have Hercules be beaten to death by himself.
@@LtBasil
What? Maui can only turn into animals
@@LtBasil Hercules is Goku of Disney he can go Super Saiyan or Ultra Instinct, use Kaioken and Kamehameha
I found these videos yesterday and wow I’ve watched your videos ever since
I am convinced Disney just gave Hercules Superman's origin. Think about it, a superstrong child from the heavens raised by kindly farmers, grows up, talks to his actual father and becomes a hero.
