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.

@@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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
I've never seen this movie, but I randomly got recommended the gospel truth song, and now this. I'm going to watch it just for hades and the singers. that and the iron giant again (that movie has aged beautifully)
That's the great thing about movies of that time, they were for the whole family, with great adult jokes and humor that goes straight over the kids heads mixed into the overall children's based movie.
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
Sorry to be the captain killjoy but that's the time when the planets aligned But it's kinda sweet to think that he was preparing for Persephone's return
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
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.
@@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
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.
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.

I swear this movie was one of the reasons for my sarcasm
Fun fact: When Hade said, "It's only half time." 2:46 it was literary halfway through the movie.
It’s not tho
Meh, it's close enough. It's not like they'd pad the runtime just to make this line accurate
It was also halfway through this video lol

I died laughing at that part
Well,you could make an argument that they were going right way,only by much longer route,but yeah, hilarious moment.
I have a special job for you, my optic friend
Fun fact: when hades says « it’s only half time » he actually says it at the half of the movie, truly one of the best disney villains
that’s so smart
Damn, that's so cool!
He also says "match" while lighting his cigarette
@@nikolapetric7089 Just notice that?
Is it?! Damn i didn’t know that
Hades, Jafar, and Scar are my favorite Disney characters. They have similar personalities.
James woods voices Hades i like it a lot
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.
And even the level of "kidnapping" is a gray area, since it's Zeus whom gave him permission. So it's closer to an arranged marriage, if anything.
And in most greek myth. Zeus is the one who causes majority of the problem xD
Oh, Stockholm Syndrome vibes?
@@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.
@@Arisato98 i rlly don't like your pfp

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.
@@panther-nk2hn well that’s gonna make his relationship with Demeter(goddess of nature) mor complicated
@@joeysopinion4463 I'm sure Persephone will choke on her drink

This movie did Hades a big disservice. He was in no way evil, he was just the ruler of the underworld. He had a job, and he did it well.
Hades is the best character in Disney. His expression of is just so powerful and impressive. Love him!A well done work!
I love how when Meg starts disobeying Hades, Hades just goes: "Aren't you forgetting one little detail, I OWN YOU!"
At least he was straight to the point

I forgot how awesome Hades is a villain. I’ve only seen this movie once but as a 5 year old I didn’t understand his humor as much as I do now
Hades is the best Disney villain.Fight me.
You have to watch it agaaaiiiinnnnnn
I've never seen this movie, but I randomly got recommended the gospel truth song, and now this. I'm going to watch it just for hades and the singers. that and the iron giant again (that movie has aged beautifully)
That's the great thing about movies of that time, they were for the whole family, with great adult jokes and humor that goes straight over the kids heads mixed into the overall children's based movie.
@@RyoshusShitposts kuzco?
this guy is bill cipher before bill cipher
this was 1 of the first disney movies i saw as a child and "whoa is my hair out" STILL makes me laugh
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 ^^ !
@@GeigermSv I'm a complete nerd, could you elaborate?
@@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
At 4:55 Hades mentions how he’s on a schedule and has plans for August aka the start of Autumn = Persephone coming back to the Underworld maybe?
Yes
yesss
That's soooo cute
Sorry to be the captain killjoy but that's the time when the planets aligned
But it's kinda sweet to think that he was preparing for Persephone's return
@@hoanganphanle Aw is that so? Oh well just let me dream
They couldn't have picked a better person to be hades then James woods he fits it perfectly
These fire bursts, he for sure is an Aries, lol.
Fun fact: The line "Its only halftime." occurs at the halfway mark of the film.
That’s insane 😲
Wow attention to detail! :o
and this clip too ☺
i see you watch cinema sins xD
Lol wow that’s so cool!
I love how Hades is portrayed as a shady fast-talking car salesman 😆
More like a classic Jewish comic, accent-wise as well as the Yiddish colloquialisms & sardony
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.
@@violatormelms This makes me love Hades even more, thank you for this!
@@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
Me too.
My favorite part of his personality is barely being able to hide his pure rage with everybody he interacts with
James woods performance as hades was da bomb ❤😂
Funfact: in the German dub he calls her his Chicken Meg Nugget

"The Trojans, well they bet on the wrong horse."
Dang, Hades...just, dang xD
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.

James Woods made this character so lovable
He improvised his lines
One of the reasons why Hades is the best villain because of his relatability. He is so underrated but we all know he’s iconic.
"Ok. Well, I deserve that"
- Hades is full of shit, but at least he's honest.
Lmao mhmm buts he’s classic man! I mean *click God!
Least he knows he's wrong
Honest shite? Now there's something original
*okay well i deserve that
Fuck i'm a know-it-all
I laughed way harder than I should've when this scene came up
Hades was hateable as a kid but when you're grown up he's just relatable.
Sad, but true.
Trruuuue I LOVE HIM !
I loved him as a kid
@@junlee7237 I agree 👍
I liked him even as a kid and even then i realised zeus was worse
The mullet goes wayy back
I love the way how he talks
*I like how when he’s mad, his fire turns into a normal fire color even though blue fire is hotter than normal.*
Nah blue fire is the cold one
It’s cuz his heads made of soul sand
No, blue fire is actually hotter, is about 1000 or more degrees hotter than normal fire actually.
@@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
@@azzythesmol nah it’s blue and blue is cold
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.
Car-dealer, as Woods put it 😅 As an actor I like him, but not for supporting Donald Trump.

This is why hades is my favorite God in Greek mythology
Hercules hades: evil asshole
Greek mythology hades: chill polite dude with a dog
@@Punkini
Nobody:
Hades: "I like doggos"
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
All jokes aside, this is masterclass animation.
“Uh guys, Olympus would be that way.”

I feel like Hades’ and Meg’s dynamic is just daughter and father, Meg looks so done with Hades sometimes lmfao
