Fun Fact: In the original story of Hercules, Hades was not the one to try and murder Hercules, it was actually Hera. Mostly because Zeus in mythology is the greatest example of a TERRIBLE partner.
The girl who played Meg, Susan Egan, also was the original Belle on Broadway and Disney didn’t want her to audition initially as they didn’t think she’d be able to be sassy since they saw her as the innocent Belle 😂
Medusa is my personal fav Greek mythological being. She just minded her business and wanted to be left alone and yet was hunted for sport by Poseidon and Athena for being too much of an icon. She deserved better.
depending on the mythos you are looking at after poseidon was TERRIBLE athena turned her into a gorgon so that no man could take advantage of her again in order to protect her. still deserved a life where she wasn't hunted for sport
@@catfeldman3614 I heard a different story. Medusa was a servant of Athena at one of her temples and Poseidon felt so much lust for medusa as she was seemed to be more beautiful than any god/godess and then r*ped her on the steps of Athena's temple. Athena felt disgrace on medusa and jealous of her beauty that even a god wanted her so she cursed her to be a foul hideous beast so she would never be wanted again and never feel the touch of another being.
So fucking true! I will never forgive my elementary school and childhood movies for portraying her as the bad guy! She was an abuse and rape victim and was punished for it. She needs a movie with her being the badass snake queen that she is and getting revenge for all that has happened to her.
@@sadtitties222 What? Medusa was not raped ,nor she was a victim . She was born a gorgon just like her sisters . They are like nymphs ,some are immortal some are mortal . Medusa had sex with Poseidon with pleasure , Athena had nothing to do with any of this ,but she aid in her killing for a purpose ! This shitty version is 700 later than the orignal by Hesiod . The stupid Ovid just didn't like the gods and had personal vendetta against Athena for some reason !
Im further into the video now, and Brad's continued gushing over Zeus stirred a memory of me as a young innocent kid coming across a fanfic (before I even knew what fanfic was) on DeviantArt that was Zeus/Hades where post movie Zeus went to punish Hades, spanked him, and then things got ah... incestuous. I'd completely forgotten about that.
100% "I won't say I'm in love" is one of the best Disney songs!! Thank you, kindred spirit! This movie never gets ranked with Disney's Golden Era, but it's my favorite.
Love Hercules! The “wanna buy a sundial” line is one of my favourite lines from a Disney movie and never fails to make me laugh. Also “somebody call IX I I” is genius 😂
This is by far my favourite movie of all times. The songs, the characters, the story. Btw Hades is my fav villain because when this movie came out in Mexico the voice actor for Hades did a magnificent job, lots of fun and personality added to the character and everyone in Latin America loved it. Love your reacrion Brad!!! Love you. ❤
Megara is played by Susan Egan (she's also the singing voice). She is best known for originating the role of Belle in the Broadway musical adaptation of Beauty and the Beast (1994).
Hercules is indeed a favourite of my childhood but until recently I would recommend Nimona. Both from and artist's and young adult's perspective, it's one of the best movie made this decade in my opinion.
in my native language, young hercules voice actor and megs voice actress are timmy and stella from winx club; they are the sole reason whenever i watch this movie, i must watch it in my native language ^^
26:59 saying someone is better than or prettier than a god is never a good thing. It literally never ends well. People believed psyche was more beautiful than Aphrodite, so Aphrodite decided to punish psyche by making her life as hard as godly possible. Arachne was a genuinely good weaver, However, she believed that she was better than Athena. So they had a competition, and it’s a long story but basically after Arachne did and said stupid stuff Athena turned her into a spider. (Which is where we get the word arachnophobia from. Arachne got turned into a spider, so Arachne technically means spider, and phobia is the fear of something.) Acteon was a hunter who (in some versions of the story) boasts that he’s a better hunter than Artemis, and because it’s a major no-no to do that in general, he’s devoured by his own hounds. Niobe once claimed that she was superior to the goddess Leto, as she had 12 kids (or in some versions 14) while Leto only had 2. (The twins Artemis and Apollo). So Leto had Apollo kill Niobe’s 6 sons and Artemis killed her 6 daughters. After Perseus kills Medusa and is finishing his quest, and is flying home, when he spots a beautiful princess (Whose name is Andromeda) chained to a rock by the ocean. When he pops down to ask her what's up, she tells him that her mother managed to piss off the ocean itself, and it sent a sea monster to ravage the land. They can only make it stop if they sacrifice her.
Geraldine Scarfe was the animation designer, the same who worked on "The Wall" movie by Pink Floyd. His work is wonderful. And did you know this was the only Walt Disney's movie to show a character (Hércules) nipples? An underrated master piece.
If you enjoy Greek mythology, highly recommend the Percy Jackson book series. There’s a number of series’ by Rick Riordan in the Percy Jackson universe. They are middle grade/young adult books so very easy and fast to read, but really good stories.
as someone who is a greek mytholgy fanatic, i couldnt watch hercules without noticing the little incorrect details, but i loved ths video and think youre amazing
The Heartstopper books in the background 🥺🥺❤️ Btw I love Hercules it’s so underrated !! The soundtrack SNAPS !! And Hades is one of the best villains 😂 so amazing that you are doing a reaction to it 😀 I love that you are drooling over Zeus while I’m here crushing on my Queen Meg 😂❤️ Also we want the LaLaLand reaction 😉😉
As a ginger girl I was always told ‘oh I bet you love Ariel’ but really I always felt more like Meg. Independent but kind I just had walls up. And that was me from such a young age. I love Hercules trying to find where he stands and I always loved that they said ‘if Hercules fight then you will fail’ thinking it was due to his strength but he thought without his ‘powers’ and won. It was the strong bonds and self believe he needed all along. My favourite Disney film and I will be very said if Danny Devito doesn’t at least get a voice cameo (though he should play his character) but I think in the life action they might go the Mulan route and that’ll make me sad. Love your videos they always make my day. Thank you x
You are so divinely extra! I love it! Thank you for making this video! You totally made my week! Hercules is one of my top favorite Disney films, and Megara IS my most favorite Disney character. 💜💜💜
i actually work with athena as my matron deity. she's rad and i love her. it's really funny how so many stories make hades the big bad when he's mostly just chilling and missing his wife. if you haven't listened to hadestown def give it a go!
Brad: This was literally released in 1997! Me: It’s older than you, hun. Brad: That’s older than me! 😂 Jinx! I love this film but I always forget how dark it gets at the end. It’s actually no wonder it didn’t pop off when it was released in cinemas. I can imagine word getting around about the death, destruction and sadness in it.
Honestly, really didn't want to watch the movie, I only clicked on it to see you in that toga - making me feel the vapors - you are #DropDeadGorgeous #BradEvans
Disney. If you want a good film. Here: Hercules: Zac Efron MEGARA: Liz Gillies Hades: Billy Eichner Phil: Danny DeVito Zeus: Patrick Warburton Pain: Kenan Kel: Panic The Muses: Lizzo, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, and Cardi B -no cgi Pegasus, just use a real horse -don’t mess with the dialogue. It’s good. -shoot in Greece -give us some “Clash of the Titans” from the early 80’s style and shoot on film -adjust costumes and editing and color palette for real places and people 👏
So Meg was voiced by Susan Egan, who originated Belle in Beauty and the Beast on Broadway, voiced Madame Gina in Porco Rosso, Lin in Spirited Away, and Rose Quartz in Steven Universe!
THIS WAS THE BEST. I am with my fam on vacation and just watching it on my phone, and they keep asking what’s so funny and I’m just like: it’s the best gay content, you all won’t understand😂🎉 I am already excited for more animated movies!! ❤
This is one of my favorites! I saw this in theaters when I was 5, we went to Blockbuster after and my parents bought me Hercules stickers there. Such good memories 💗
I looove this community, everytime I read the comments is only pure joy. I just love you so much Brad, you're so authentic, creative and just so pleasant to watch. Mucho amor desde España 🫶🏻✨
I’m over here crying laughing….I saw this in the theater when released and many times since but this was the best time I’ve had watching it!! The edits are 🤌 *chefs kiss.
The fates in this movie are actually based on 2 Greek myths: the actual Fates, who cut the threads of human souls when their time is up. And the Phorcides, who share a single eye and tooth between them.
one of my favorite disney movies!!! back in the day me and my sister would watch it every single day, we probably know the brazillian dubbing of this movie by heart lol
Love this reaction, was my favourite film growing up! With Meg and Herc, this was genuinely a very confusing time for a curious bi kid. If you want to learn about Mythology and the Gods, I'd recommend Mythos by Stephen Fry

Hercules is lowkey a himbo. Hades is a diva queen. We support 🙏🏼
I love Hades so much he's so relatable seriously
His design is great too
@@krose6451 yes, he's my favourite disney character, he's seriously THE BEST character I've ever seen in disney history
Such an underrated Disney movie
It has always been one of my favorites!!

“Someone call IXII” was a top tier joke 😂 love this movie

The muses didn't have to go that hard but I'm glad they did
Brad reaction to Zeus was incredible! "Like he is hot! That is daddy right there. Like Zeus is kind of a dick but he's daddy" "😂😂😂

@@krose6451ok we need links
@@krose6451 Oh, oh my....👀 I mean, we're talking about Greek Mythology where modern day mindsets didn't apply, lol.
U ATE THE HIGH NOTE😍😍 13:16 iconic
100% "I won't say I'm in love" is one of the best Disney songs!! Thank you, kindred spirit! This movie never gets ranked with Disney's Golden Era, but it's my favorite.
My all time favorite Disney song for sure
Liz as Meg is EVERYTHING 😻
THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG!!! It’s fun, it’s cute, you get to sing AND, who could forget, NAVEEN!
Brad calling an animated character hot is the most relatable thing since... since.... Since the dawn of existence
Love Hercules! The “wanna buy a sundial” line is one of my favourite lines from a Disney movie and never fails to make me laugh. Also “somebody call IX I I” is genius 😂

This is literally one of my favourite Disney movies, wether you liked it or not i know i'm gonna love the video! 🩷
Hades says "Its only half-time" right at the exact halfway point of the whole movie.
Megara is played by Susan Egan (she's also the singing voice). She is best known for originating the role of Belle in the Broadway musical adaptation of Beauty and the Beast (1994).
Hercules is indeed a favourite of my childhood but until recently
I would recommend Nimona. Both from and artist's and young adult's perspective, it's one of the best movie made this decade in my opinion.
This!!!!!! That film is amazing and has fantastic lgbt rep
I LOVE NIMONA!!
Danny DeVito is returning as Phil in the remake, I can not wait to see who they have play the Muses.
I mean I can’t picture anyone else.
One of my favorite Disney movies. I love any version of hercules.
Alternative title: Brad simping for Zeus for 33.59 minutes straight
The "call IX-I-I" is still on of the funniest jokes ( 911 in roman numerals) and the music in this movie was absolutely amazing!
in my native language, young hercules voice actor and megs voice actress are timmy and stella from winx club; they are the sole reason whenever i watch this movie, i must watch it in my native language ^^
I did not know this. That’s pretty cool
26:59 saying someone is better than or prettier than a god is never a good thing. It literally never ends well.

Believe it or not Hercules was my first word! I was down bad since being a baby
Hades is like that sassy yet toxic best friend.
"You go girls" 👹
Got me on the floor 😂
Brad, thank you so much for the reaction I did not know I needed tonight. Magnificent! :*
I knew the entire movie by heart when i was younger i love it so much!!! (the jokes were actually even funnier in Greek)
Ready for Brad being unhinged again 😂
"woah is my hair out???" Favourite line from any movie ever
I think my life would be completely fulfilled if Liz Gillies played Meg. Absolutely iconic.
Meg is Susan Egan. She was the original stage Belle in Beauty and The Beast on Broadway. She’s also a super nice and lovely human being.
Geraldine Scarfe was the animation designer, the same who worked on "The Wall" movie by Pink Floyd. His work is wonderful.
And did you know this was the only Walt Disney's movie to show a character (Hércules) nipples?
An underrated master piece.

Pleeeasee Brad
"people that judge people for finding cartoon characters attractive do you live?" ah a man of culture i see lmao
as someone who is a greek mytholgy fanatic, i couldnt watch hercules without noticing the little incorrect details, but i loved ths video and think youre amazing
" Zeus is kind of a dick but he's Daddy " need that on a t-shirt, now.
The Heartstopper books in the background 🥺🥺❤️
Btw I love Hercules it’s so underrated !! The soundtrack SNAPS !! And Hades is one of the best villains 😂 so amazing that you are doing a reaction to it 😀 I love that you are drooling over Zeus while I’m here crushing on my Queen Meg 😂❤️
Also we want the LaLaLand reaction 😉😉
Also totally agree... my first crush as a kid was Prince Eric from the OG Little Mermaid was/is supper cute to me lol
Not you dropping my new comfort video ❤
SLAYYYY
I LOVE this movie! It warms my heart! 😊❤
im so happy i recommended this tysm for watching ittttttttt!!!!
Susan Egan does the voice of Meg. She was also part of the original Broadway cast of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast as Belle.
Hercule is one of my fav Disney for sure and the songs are part of the best of Disney, I love the ones from Tarzan too
Megs song makes literally everyone want to sing their heart out!
Jennifer Hudson, Michelle from Destiny’s Child, Mercedes from Glee, Lizzo, Janelle Monae and Blanca from Pose are just a few of possible muses.
As a ginger girl I was always told ‘oh I bet you love Ariel’ but really I always felt more like Meg. Independent but kind I just had walls up. And that was me from such a young age.

You are so divinely extra! I love it! Thank you for making this video! You totally made my week! Hercules is one of my top favorite Disney films, and Megara IS my most favorite Disney character. 💜💜💜
Hercules has always and will forever be my all time favorite classic Disney movie. Period.

I mean… Greek mythology is kinda dark… so if you think about it, this is sunshine and rainbows compared to the source material 🫥🤣
This is one of my favorite Disney movies; I am so glad he reacted to it.

MEGARA: Liz Gillies
Hades: Billy Eichner
Phil: Danny DeVito
Zeus: Patrick Warburton
Pain: Kenan
Kel: Panic
The Muses: Lizzo, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, and Cardi B
-no cgi Pegasus, just use a real horse
-don’t mess with the dialogue. It’s good.
-shoot in Greece
-give us some “Clash of the Titans” from the early 80’s style and shoot on film
-adjust costumes and editing and color palette for real places and people
👏
Maybe if it was filmed in 2009 this would be a good line up
Treasure Planet is a fun spacious (lol) ride. I think you'll like the Captain.
So Meg was voiced by Susan Egan, who originated Belle in Beauty and the Beast on Broadway, voiced Madame Gina in Porco Rosso, Lin in Spirited Away, and Rose Quartz in Steven Universe!
Love the music in this but another underrated favorite of mine is Hunchback of Notre Dome the song Hellfire is so amazingly dark.
Most unrealistic thing bout this movie is that Zeus and Hera are a loving couple 😂
Zeus has to be hot, otherwise like 75% of Greek mythology wouldn't exist.
I'm no better than a man when Meg is around
i would LOVE a la la land reaction and i also NEED you to do barbie, PLEASE, i literally just finished watching it five minutes ago and i'm in love
THIS WAS THE BEST. I am with my fam on vacation and just watching it on my phone, and they keep asking what’s so funny and I’m just like: it’s the best gay content, you all won’t understand😂🎉
I am already excited for more animated movies!! ❤
awwww thank u 🫶🏻

My fiance has the promotion plates from when the movie came out at his parents house and you know I ALWAYs eat off the Meg plate when I'm there 💅
go the distance is one of the best disney songs omg makes me feel so safe and warm
Hercules Is def in my top 5 favorite movies
Fun Fact: Bébé Ryan Gosling was in something called ‘Young Hercules’.
I’m over here crying laughing….I saw this in the theater when released and many times since but this was the best time I’ve had watching it!! The edits are 🤌 *chefs kiss.
I love the scene were she sings about being in love with him in the garden 😍
I made the mistake of eating 😂 while watching this and y'all 🤣 I almost died 😂😂😂😂 also him thirsting over Zeus 😂😂😂😂 is EVERYTHING
The way you said we’re all gonna have fun😂
fun fact! One of the muses voiced by lilias white is currently on broadway with hadestown, a musical including Greek gods such as hades :)
The fates in this movie are actually based on 2 Greek myths: the actual Fates, who cut the threads of human souls when their time is up.
And the Phorcides, who share a single eye and tooth between them.
Pleaaase i was about to leave before you said don’t leave 😂😂
GOOD i’m glad it worked 😂
I literally almost broke this VHS tape when I was kid. I love this movie sooo much!!
PLEASE do more animated movies like this!!!
Before Hercules got all buff & stuff, I like to think that he just hadn't grown into his ears & feet yet lol
I honestly come back to this video so much 😂 just to see brad and watch hercules its a win win
Liz would ABSOLUTELY slay this. Meg even gives off the same energy as Jade from victorious. I can't unsee it now, I need liz to play Meg
Brad: “I can’t say preexisting”…says preexisting perfectly (lol).
"zeus is daddy" ur not wrong, man got around
Jessica Alexander, Ursula’s human form from the live action Little Mermaid would be PEEEERFECT as Meg!
Hercules has one of the best soundtracks, banger after banger
Brad, I love seeing you happy and just having the time of your life 🥰
oooo I love Easy A ... have you done a reaction to that?
PLEASE do Emperor’s New Groove !! 🥳🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙
one of my favorite disney movies!!! back in the day me and my sister would watch it every single day, we probably know the brazillian dubbing of this movie by heart lol
This is one of my favorites Disney movies!! And Hades is so iconic 😂
Please watch The Hunchback of Notre Dame! Esmeralda is just fabulous. 🔥🔥
1:30 😂😂😂 yes ma’am
Love this reaction, was my favourite film growing up! With Meg and Herc, this was genuinely a very confusing time for a curious bi kid. If you want to learn about Mythology and the Gods, I'd recommend Mythos by Stephen Fry
