In actual mythology, Hades' realm, Underworld, consisted of 3 areas: Tartarus (basically hell and prison for Titans), Elysium (paradise for heroes, kings and basically Greek Valhalla), and Asphodel (situated in the middle, being a quiet, calm and pretty tranquil realm for simple and decent people). In no ways did Hades actually resent his post, in fact, he actually appreciated it and did like his job. Out of all the Gods, he actually had a pretty much good life: loving wife, ever expanding realm and populace, all of the riches in the world, basically being the strongest of Cronus' sons. Heck, I even heard a version where Persephone being allowed to go back to Olympus was actually his idea, for sake of Demeter and mortals, meaning he is selfless like that. Really wish we could get a media where Hades is actually portrayed as not any type of villain, but more of supportive neutral or positive person.
Not necessarily ever expanding, if I remember correctly in Greek myth Hades had the Lethe river which if drunk would allow a soul to forget memories of its previous life and be reborn as someone new.
@@bashirjamilu6367 Waaaay better looking, right?!😍😍😏😏 *Fun fact:* Hades was known for being the most handsome out of the three Supreme God Brothers. Just like in the show here.
I wish they cast him as wise and just. Not perfect, but sick of both of his brother’s BS, just wants to be left alone and tries to do the right thing wherever he can.
That's basically my headcanon of Hades...he's the older brother, more responsible and to some extent normal of the Olympians but he constantly has to put up with the shit that his siblings do/do and it's better not to talk about his nephews and nieces because why? Most of these tend to mess with the underworld in some way and make its job more difficult (except Hephaestus, he is technically the most normal and calm of them). The only good things that happened to Hades were being king of the underworld and Persephone.
I Agree with Hades his Kingdom was every bit his prison. In time even he was poisoned by its toxic influence. Warping his mind and appearance he was tormented just like the souls he has dominion over.
I wonder how well he would have fared if one of the souls just went up to him and told him something like "you don't look too well, sir. Want to talk about it?". A simple compassion, even from the soul of a mortal, would have made a difference, I'm sure.
all of this couldve been prevented if the arrogant Olympians invited Hades to hangout or mingle. he is allowed to leave the underworld for almost a day, right?
He was welcome to the olimpus but since his domain is the one which requires a bit more of the most of the realms he was always busy with his kingdom so he just go to the olimpus ones a year in the darkest day of winter. So yeah and most of the gods aren’t that arrogant.
I’d find it funny if a mortal took hades place and actually made the underworld a decent place. Found or created good soothing the dead into restful sleep
Oh Hades instead of being the dutifully one thinking that Zeus would play fair was your biggest mistake, you should have done both moral, gods hell all of Greece a favor and challenged Zeus for the throne because I have no doubt in a one on one fight Hades would wrack Zeus.
Yea, thanks to his Shadow abilities Hades can easily teleport away from the lightning Zeus would be summoning and would easily infinite combo him like how he did with Ares but the problem is Hera’s telekinesis can just grab him and throw him away unless he’s fast enough to teleport away or to quickly take her out.
@@phoebeyuan2654 I was thinking one on one, but you make a good point if the fight did happen and it look like for even a second Zeus would lose Hera would step in another reason don't to like her, also remember when Hades said if he stays away form the underworld he starts to feel pain, but Poisden doesn't when he leaves the sea, it seems to me that the curse was put on Hades only to keep in check.
@@phil.moloney2980 That does make a good point as well maybe thats the reason why Hades need the stone as Zeus probably had Hetake (the same Witch that imprisoned Typhon) cast a curse on Hades to weaken him as Persephone ate the food of the dead but when she leaves the Underworld she had no pain which could have mean Zeus knowing that Hades might cause a uprising and can easily destroy him, decideds to ask Hetake to cast a curse on him weakening him to protect his and Hera's throne.
@@phoebeyuan2654 That exactly what I was thinking and it really shows that Zeus was afraid of Hades, but you know what funny if Hades was in charge and married to Hera, she wouldn't be such a b# because Hades unlike his brothers is faithful to his wife, another reason why he should be in charge.
Jajajjajajaja you guys are funny Zeus afraid of Hades ??? They get well along and besides Hades has more affinity with the underworld than the heaven and besides people just try to make Zeus like a Tyrant or some kind of villain the only bad things he has done was eating his first wife and having affairs but to be honest those affairs maybe more Aphrodite’s fault or Eros so yeah he is not that bad the other myths were he portray as the bad one is just because in a certain POV it can be considered bad but if you think carefully where kind of the right choice.
I can't be the only one who thinks Hades looks much like Kratos in this adaptation, complete with a beard similar to the one Kratos sported in the Norse series. Heck, there was even a suicide attempt on a cliff.
Hades was by far the strongest and most powerful because no matter who died and where they went, they always went to his realm. You dont die and go to Olympus. You die and go to hades. You arent hanging out and chillin with the gods. Your ass is chillin (probably chillin as in getting cooked😂) in Hades. Bro doesnt even need to go to the mortal realm just to meet famous people. They are going to meet HIM🤣plus, hades basically had control or dominance over all the creepy demonic shit so it isnt like there was anything you could threaten him with unless you are an extremely powerful god or titan
Well unlike the rest of the adaptation atleast they didn't make this Hades evil. But still. Hades in the myths doesn't care about being in the underworld because the underworld isn't hell. Hades rules over the dead, be they good or evil. He has access to both heaven and hell. He doesn't have to deal with the torture of the dead 24/7 because he doesn't have to be there. Persephone liked the underworld more than she did Olympus. And why wouldn't she? Elysium is literally heaven but without all the damn drama of the other gods.
Hades was cursed by zeus as he throw hades into hell stole the crown and thrown for him self . every one that bowed to zeus was give a job/ curse bound to there stations to keep them in line and powerless for zeus had one fear .. hes father and will do every thing to keep power .. from killing his mother to even raping his family . zues never loves he takes what he wants and kill the rest .. zeus is the true villain !
Zeus didn’t know it was hera cheat thought he was given the story of the sky. It was Hera. Who cheated plus Zeus is not the real villain when he’s literally the guidance of our main protagonist of the entire entire series when you say, Zeus never loves, let’s see he loves his children minus Aries. He loves Hera he doesn’t always take what he wants just basically making this crap up as you go. You’re mistaking Zeus as a bad guy would literally who’s been a guide for every children of his and also Hades killed more people than he did besides, in the end of this season, Hades dooms everyone in the end
Zues is a freaking menace he fucks what ever that moves as long as he is satisfied to his lust he rapes, he cheats and gets away with it because he is the God among gods. Yes he loves hera but he cheats most of the time and I hate that hera express disappointment and was hurt of what zues did, and he did nothing but continue to cheat and rape among women even if you mortal or a God zues will find away to get on sleeping with him whether you like it or not you can't say no to him
I dislike how they did Hades but everything else was fine. I sort off expected them to make Hades what Poseidon and Gaia were. He should have been like his Mythic Counterpart who was a Family Man through and through and tried everything possible to prevent bloodshed and was a Voice of a Reason and if he couldn’t prevent a Fight he always stayed Neutral. The without a doubt worst part was when they made Hades so miserable and a simp that he allowed Demeter to unleash Covid-19 on Hellas instead of stopping her. Mythology Hades would have gutted Demeter right then and there. They should have made Poseidon the Villain who was after the Eleusinan Stone cuz In Myths Hades chose the Underworld right after the Titans were dethroned and was totally fine there it was Poseidon who was always causing Havoc and Trouble and didn’t give two fucks about Mortals or the fragile Balance of Powers, was envious and tried to dethrone Zeus multiple times. Hades actually always had Zeus back and even helped him escape from a trap Hera, Poseidon and Athene laid in the Ilad. The best depiction of Hades ironically came from AC Odyssey where he was a wise Ruler but also a sadistic Master Manipulator who took great pleasure in hearing the Guilty and Useless tortured in Tartarus or being stuck in Asphodel and the Fields of punishment cuz that’s how he is described in Myth. He rules the Four Realms of the Underworld harsh but he also ain’t merciless and always gives Mortals chances to redeem themselves by working for him and adding him guide Souls to their eternal peace while taking joy in seeing evil Souls being tortured. Plus like his Mythical Counterpart he is a fuckin GAMBLER!!!!!!!!! I really hoped that they would have broken the trend of making Hades the bad guy and made him instead the Voice of Reason that Hera was in Season 2 telling the other Gods that fighting would get them nowhere. Instead of manipulating, he should have been actually trying redeem Seraphim if only for his own amusement till Poseidon or Ares managed to bride Seraphim to support them all while Hades was watching everything and making Bets with either Gaia on who screws up first and while betting they discuss Mortals and Gods alike all while watching Heron and Seraphim. The Final Episode before Gaia crushed the Stone should have instead shown that the Stone everyone was fighting over was actually fake and shattered after Heron spends the decoys power. Then Hades appears alongside Gaia revealing that he had the actual Stone the entire Time after Gaia gave it to him to keep it safe, cuz she knew that some of the Gods would try dirty tricks. Hades then gives it to Heron while tossing a Drachma coin 🪙 to Gaia saying „It appears you win the bet Grandmother.” It’s then where Heron gets backstabbed by Ares or better yet Poseidon and all hell breaks loose and the Series ends with Typhon being unleashed, the Gods running away in fear all while Hades escorts Heron’s and Seraphim’s souls to the Underworld to the Isle of Blessed uniting the two Brothers with their mother together for the First Time saying that they can rest now.
I still think this is a better representation of Hades in media though. About the thing with Demeter, she already unleashed the spores prior to telling Hades so there really wasn’t much he could’ve done, killing or paralyzing her probably wouldn’t have stopped the spores. He did advocate against it, showing his empathy and reasoning. And with how he acted as a makeshift father figure to Seraphim was also good as well. Even when Seraphim couldn’t keep his promise, Hades still helped him and held up his promise to Seraphim like a father would. I wish he wasn’t the antagonist in S2 though, however most of his actions were understandable given the circumstances he faced
"How do you sleep at night?"
Hades: "I don't."
Epic mentioned
I don't think he was trying to commit suicide. I think he was just trying to tune out the voices in his head.
Would've been admittedly funny if Poseidon appeared and be like yo...bro...you ok?
@@kou7191 😂😂Now that would've been hilarious.🤣🤣
Ooh that is a good point. Didn't even think of it like that.

Hades in Record of Ragnarok kinda fits that, he's a neutral party and is overall a highly respected God
Goddamn Hades was handsome pre Underworld.
And sadly the Underworld’s toxin ruined him
I think he's still quite dashing. Not as much as when he was young, but come on.
Better looking than Zeus.

The older a god gets the stronger they are
This isn’t the time but Hades was a baddie before the Underworld poisoned him. Definitely the most handsome of the Olympian siblings.
And the most honorable and noble of the big 3.
I wish they cast him as wise and just. Not perfect, but sick of both of his brother’s BS, just wants to be left alone and tries to do the right thing wherever he can.

1:22 Hades: “The gods of Olympus have abandoned me now there is no hope.”
Kratos: “First time?”
Also kratos: Imma kill everyone
Same with me! Sing for the year. Sing for the laughter. Sing for the tear.
I was singing it and laughing so hard watching this scene 😂😂

Not true. The Underworld was actually very nice
@@aranha6285 iam refering to the show...not the mythology!
"There's only so much you can endure"
Be glad there are no modern showers in the underworld for him to utter "damn monkeys" in despair
We need more of these!!
I wonder how well he would have fared if one of the souls just went up to him and told him something like "you don't look too well, sir. Want to talk about it?".
A simple compassion, even from the soul of a mortal, would have made a difference, I'm sure.
He looks like Kratos from god of war.
all of this couldve been prevented if the arrogant Olympians invited Hades to hangout or mingle. he is allowed to leave the underworld for almost a day, right?
Its deeper than that, Hades never wanted to rule the underworld. Much less live there.

Thank you!!
You're welcome!
why when the greek underworld is depicted, they show only the bad sides ? Why not show Elyseum too ?
This series does show Elysium though. It also depicts the judgement of the kings pretty thoroughly as well.
It does show Elysium. Asphodel as well.
@@_.hybrids._1680 Later on, not here. Also, Asphodel might not be the greatest places but peoples aren't sufferings there normally.
Because none wants to see the positive side they just want to see the creepy part
…and apparently the only form of entertainment in the Underworld are “The Fast & the Furious” movies.
And the live action of the last air bender.
You know I just wonder how he react when Persephone told him his is going to be a Father?
everyone gets free 10min break from torture
