I’m so glad you brought this up. I love Greek mythology so much and watching Disney Hercules I saw so much I didn’t relize the first time watching it. But there was in Greek mythology a time that a girl became immortal when she proved to be a hero to be with Eros ( god of love) she is then made a goddess to be the immortal wife of Eros she was mortal turned immortal.
Errina her name is psyche if anyone wants to look her up
But to be fair that myth is about insecurity on the self and how we all engage with each other through love and what losing love will make us do to gain it back. But still my favorite myth
I absolutely love how youre not afraid to do videos on "Out-of-date" topics!!! Your videos are always a breath of fresh air!!
It's funny you say that, because, in my head, Hercules came out like a year ago! I so clearly remember where I sat in the theatre when I watched it. Maybe I'm just old, lol, but I'm glad it works out and you like what I'm producing! :D
I think that at the end, the movie is trying to teach a moral lesson about how Heroes don't act in the promise of Reward, they do so out of the strength of their character.
Throughout Herc's Hero-Montage where he takes-on the remaining 12 Labors after the Hydra, it's explained that Herc's hero-status has become quite lucrative for him and Phil, as they're able to effectively shill-out Herc's image for brand-recognition and endorsement deals. In essence, this became entangled with Herc's heroism; Herc himself never seemed to be greedy or desire the money as much as Phil did, but that didn't change the fact that he'd effectively gotten something out of being a Hero. But not only that, I think that Herc's mindset was always off...While Herc wasn't expecting or demanding a financial reward from his hero work, he WAS still expecting to be rewarded by having his God-Hood restored...
I think that's what the movie was trying to establish; because by the end, becoming a God didn't even matter to Herc. All that mattered was undoing the damage he caused and saving Meg. And it got to the point where he was willing to sacrifice himself in order to save her, and that's what being a True Hero is...doing what is right, knowing that you gain nothing from it, and it could even put yourself at risk...
THE PROBLEM IS...Herc already did something that qualified as doing that before. When Hades unleashes the Titans, he commissions the Cyclops to go to Thebes and kill Hercules. When the Cyclops arrives, the now De-Powered Hercules presents himself to the monster, knowing that he can't possibly win. Effectively speaking, he is sacrificing himself to - I should think - give the people a chance to flee (as there's no guarantee the Cyclops would stop even if Hercules died.)
But then when Phil comes back and inspires Herc to fight back even without his strength...he STILL manages to beat the Cyclops and send it toppling over the edge. Effectively speaking, this should've cemented Herc's position as a True Hero, and yet the only thing that comes of this is Meg getting hurt, thus breaking Hades' deal and restoring Herc's strength.
The argument can be made that Herc wasn't really acting in behalf of the people of Thebes or even to stop the Cyclops; that instead he was feeling sorry for himself after being betrayed by Meg, and simply wanted to die because of how bad he felt. So in the end...it's an interesting topic to debate over Intentions vs. Actions. Does Herc sacrificing himself to give the people a chance to survive really become tainted just because he wanted to die?
Yes, to all of this, with an added, he did still get something out of defeating the cyclops, even if it was just getting his powers back after Meg got hurt. It's pretty clear that true sacrifice was what was necessary, it wasn't until the fates were literally in the process of cutting his life string that he got his god-hood back. I feel like if he had gotten crushed by the pillar that Meg saved him from, he would've gotten his god-hood back, although we'll never know.
This is very well written to exactly what I was thinking, yet adding more that I didn't pick up on, so congrats, here's some reddit gold
Being a hero (in the muses eyes) and being a god aren’t the same thing. Anyone can become a hero but to become a true god you have to truly sacrifice yourself for another. Hercules doesn’t do this until he agrees remove his powers for meg, meg gets injured, Hercules gets his power back as the contract is broken and then Hercules jumps into the river of death here there is a chance he could without his god status being returned. As Zeus says in the movie- a hero isn’t measured by the size of his strength but by the strength of his heart. So in the case of God’s they need to sacrifice themselves completely for love to be a true god. Otherwise any of those wood be heroes Philoctetes trained would be on Olympus. However short a length of time.
But I have some issues with that. But, as Zeus said, you must be a hero to become a God, and the Muses are the proclaimers of heroes. So, why create that plot hole at all? Why not just say the Muses are goddesses of art and inspiration?
Also, what did the GODS do to be worthy of being a god? Were they once humans who changed their status? Many stories about them go on about how cruel they are, and the movie only shows them like aristocrats who sit on their butts partying while Greek citizens are put in harms way. For that mater, how were there earthquakes and floods and all that if Zeus already locked up the Titans?!
Anyways, if Hercules was born a god, why did he need to prove anything? What did Hera prove to have her status? Or Hermes? Sure, Hercules had that poison drink, but it comes off like committing suicide changed him back more than saving Meg. Hmm... so if Pain and Panic had killed him as a baby, would he have just returned to God status anyways? Interesting idea to consider! But, overall, I still take issue that Zeus didn't just TELL Hercules the full story rather than have him frustrated and grinding out heroic deeds that didn't matter.
The Fangirl Dionysus was actually a mortal demigod in Greek mythology who was exalted to godhood after the war with the giants. Also according to Greek mythology, Poseidon was also the god of earthquakes. Then again, the Disney movie is so far removed from the mythology it is ridiculous. Granted I've learnt most of my mythology from reading Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan. He keeps things close enough to the myths that you learn stuff. Apparently Heracles was a jerk in the myths.
The Fangirl The way I see it they meant the muses are proclaimers in the sense of the word that they simply tell the public the stories of the heroes. They don’t have any official capacity. Basically just gives the story a fun narrator cos they’re telling the story of Hercules. Wouldn’t make much sense then narrating the film without that line
And I think the whole ‘who is a god?’ is kind of an automatic thing that happens. And Zeus can’t force it to happen but he’s the one who can prevent it from occurring.
Also the gods were born gods. The same way Hercules was born a god but then he was given a mortal potion to make him mortal so he couldn’t interfere with Hades’ plan.
An alternative idea I have about the whole god thing is that Zeus suspected something was wrong and that a big event was going to happen because he knew someone took Hercules. He wanted Hercules safe on earth/ as a last resort to save the world in the event that something major happened.
Plus giving the fact in the Disney film Hercules it was implied most of the hero acts was for selfish reasons as Hercules thought he was being a hero but let most of it get to his head and not realizing it until he had to save Meg for the right reasons
The condition in the movie is that hercules proves himself a TRUE Hero on Earth; which happens when he offers to take Meg's place in the river of souls. Hades hadn't counted on him surviving retrieving Meg's soul.
Actually what made Hercules a true hero was that he was willing to put Meg's well being above his own. Becaus up until then everything Herc did was about becoming a god.
True. He's been doing this for all the wrong reasons. Until he had to learn and grow. Which his character growth. So Zeus didn't lie. He got character growth, which I like he learned and grows.
I think the issue about Hercules not becoming a true hero even after all those monster fights was because for most of the film, all Hercules wanted was to be a true hero so he could rejoin his parents on Olympus. Even though he's a good person and he did really want to help people, deep down, every heroic deed he did was only for the purpose of rejoining the gods. That's why he got upset when Zeus said that his deeds weren't good enough when he bragged about being made an action figure. Heck, when Hercules first met Phil, he said and I quote, _"But if I don't become a true hero, I'll never be able to rejoin my father, Zeus."_
But when Hercules saved Meg, it was a completely selfless act. He wasn't thinking about rejoining the gods, he was only thinking about an innocent person's life at stake. So when he tried to selflessly sacrifice his life to save Meg's even though that meant he would never be able to return to Mt. Olympus, he was deemed a true hero and became a god. Hades even told him, _"You get her out. She goes. You stay."_ He knew he would never get back out again, but he jumped in anyway. And that completely selfless heroic act is what it took to restore his godhood. At the end, Hercules learned what's truly important to be a true hero.
Just think of Superman. Superman isn't a hero because of all his powers and accomplishments. Superman is a true hero because he's completely selfless when he's saving lives and fighting bad guys, always adjusting his power to keep everyone around him safe, even if it could cost him his own life in the process. A good example of this is Superman's "World of Cardboard" speech from the Justice League cartoon. Superman isn't a hero for fame, fortune, or some other ulterior motive. He's a true hero because he genuinely cares about the people that he protects.
*_"A true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart."_*
~ Zeus, Hercules(1997)
Also, I always considered Hercules losing his godlyness at the end to be Hercules himself willingly giving up his godhood by himself. That would make sense with the line that he said right before he gives it up. "A life without Meg, even an immortal life, would be empty."
It's funny how Disney makes "family-friendly" movies from actual dark origins in the original books and historical moments. Especially about "Disney" princesses. Does it disrespect the original's masterpiece and history? But either way, it's one hell of a ride to end up ruining your childhood by finding the real dark truth about your favorite Disney movies.
You have an interesting point, BUT, stories being changed and retold to suit different audiences isn't a new concept. Even if you look up the legends of Maui, they change in different areas and over time, so there's no one consistent story anywhere! Even the Little Mermaid - read the original, then compare it to Disney's version, THEN compare it to Ponyo by Studio Ghibli. Crazy different!
As for the real stories and finding them later in life, I think it's sort of fun. Like, oh my gosh, who would have ever guessed you could get Beauty and the Beast from THIS?! lol
lol I know. I think I've read the dark origins like version of the Little Mermaid at my old elementary school. It's not a big novel, it's a thin one and it shorten the story a bit; plus it had a lot of pictures and words but not colored in much.
I think the cover looked something like this:
pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9780590444569-us-300.jpg
The Fangirl As a kid in the 90s, I also grew up watching Hercules the Legendary Journeys. I think people should be open to different interpretations to classic stories, legends, Fables, and folktales; such as Jean Coutue’s Beauty and the Beast, the 2003 version of Peter Pan, the 1999 version of Alice in Wonderland, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Ever After, The Company of Wolves, Excalibur 1981, and Snow White; A Tale of Terror.
@@TheFangirlWatches I think Beauty and the Beast was based on Eros and Pysche's tale.......
Disney's Hercules IS basically the Superman story.
Well if you remember the original story what if Hercules wasn’t Hera’s son and so Zeus wanted to keep him on earth so that she wouldn’t know?
nonono, the original story/mth and disney are VERY DIFFERENT. in the beginning of the movie both ZEUS AND HERA are mourning the loss of hercules. also they're both with herc to celebrate his godliness.
Zara Strait well I was just suggesting. You probably know the story better than I do
don't worry mate.
You have a point about the muses determined who becomes a true hero, but sacrificing yourself is the ultimate deed to make you a true hero.
Yes.
Dude.. I never thought of that
lol, I try to get all my viewers to say that! :)
Percy Jackson fans anybody
Here
Michael Semenak Ello mate
Helo there
I saw the nod as more of Zeus accepting hercs decision over him having any say in the matter. And saw his godhood attainment being beyond simple heroics as with Phills whole Hero in the Stars thing. I thought all along it was under Hercs power and that Herc was willingly removing the shackles of Godhood and it's Olympic place to be with Meg rather than Zeus having any say in the matter. As for Pegasus ,Gods only know why he was allowed to stay on Olympus while herc was growing up.
Zeus: Only gods can live in mount Olympus.
Me: ok,I’ll be there at 1.
And the elixer ambrosia can TURN YOU INTO A GOD OR GODDESS (see myth of Eros and Psyche. Psyche becomes an immortal goddess by drinking the elixir ambrosia) so why not give some to the baby hercules?? Or why not make meg into a goddess since SHE gave her life save hercules from that falling pillar like what was done for Eros and Psyche?? Come on now, Muses!
I got a notification this morning while midway through Hercules. That's the first time that's ever happened to me.
I freaking love this movie❤
"Proclaim heroes" means they sing/talk about heroes.
Pegasis is technically a God, he might be Posydens son if i remember he turned into a horse to impress a spirit lady
I think during that montage Hercules he was doing it to achieve his own goal (to be a god) he wasn’t doing it out of pure selflessness. Unlike when he saved meg, he knew he could die but he wasn’t thinking of joining the gods he only wanted to save meg
Ashley's fan art is awesome. Excellent point about Zeus's iffy rules. Plus I LOVE The Muses. Interesting theory, Fangirl.
man i love Disney songs and "go the distance" from this movie is in my top 5 favorite songs
So, Hercules was already a hero? I can't believe Zeus would lie like that.
Then again Zeus Does pull ranked a lot in Greek mythology because you know he loves himself a lot like Tommy Wiseau
Aaaah I loved this! This was wonderful to wake up to.
So glad you enjoyed it! :D
Sephs Odds and Ends Omg I'm going to bed right now 😂😂
Made it to the end. Love the theory and I can't help but think--you've got a real point here.
We need a sequel to explain it! :)
If you include the mid-movie TV series that was on Disney Channel Hercules saved the world (and the gods) while he was still in high school and training with Phil. I always wondered why that didn’t count.
I remember watching that as a kid, but it's really hard to find that series now! It seemed like most of it was non-canon, but it was a fun watch! :)
I love your videos!
Thanks sweetie! :)
Thank you for making awesome videos!
...but the Muses are narrating the story??? At the beginning, they are just setting up the story. So at the beginning of the movie, he was a hero...but the Muses are telling us what happened.
To refine him back to the heart that’s why he was kept so long on earth ❣️
I hope Hercules is still a god posing as a mortal. I mean, why would you want to give up immortality just for a woman?
Because people do crazy things... when they're in love... :D
@The Fangirl NICE REFERENCE XD
WeegeeSlayer id like a sequel with meg earning the right to be considered a god
WeegeeSlayer he truly loved her. If he was immortal, he would live long enough to watch his first love DIE. I don’t think he would want the pain of that. If he was mortal, the pain would only be for a short while, and he gets to live a full life with Meg.
I would. I wouldn’t be able to stand not dying. Plus, women are fantastic.
Oh my jesus I didn’t realize this theory came today wow but I really like your theory’s I’ve watched most of the movies you make theories on and I didn’t notice anything you pointed out
I am happy to be of service to expand your movie viewing experiences then! :)
Though they got one thing wrong it was Chiron, the centaur that trained Heracles. Well a few things they do got wrong but I understand it was to make it kid friendly.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought it's was flaky!
Great video !
Can you do a theory on why the great dragon never awoken in Mulan , I don’t know if there is much there but I’ve always wondered
That Girl188 I think she already did... or I’m thinking of Super Calavan Brothers .... the middle name is spelt wrong btw...
I was working on that one, but if Super Carlin Brothers did it already I might look for something different. I feel like there's only one answer that works, so I'll have to check if they had the same idea! >.
Do a video on spirit
The horse or the black and white comic hero?
The horse
Really interesting. I always thought that Hercules couldn't be a hero because he was getting paid to do the tasks he was given. When he rescued Meg though he did it because he cared for her and he had the heart of a true hero because he did it without looking for any gain. 😄
You have to remember this is Disney-fied Greek Myth. In Myth, Zeus was an ass, Hercules was the result of an affair, and killed Megara and his kids with her in a rage caused by Hera. And Hades is one of the nicer of the Gods.
But if you want a theory, perhaps Zeus pulled a fast one on Herc for his son's Benefit. While Herc could have been seen as a hero, perhaps the mission was to make Meg a heroine and a potential for Godhood. Then Zeus lets Herc be 'mortal' (Still Secretly a god) and if he loves Meg his whole life... Boom! Both in Olympus. Maybe Meg takes the role of Hebe (Daughter of Zeus and Hera, Goddess of Youth and Hercule's Wife as a God).
Also in myth, you just had to eat the food and drink of the gods to become divine.
See, if Hercules was an illegitimate love child, I would understand the way Zeus blocks him from entering Olympus. But, having to stay within the confines of the Disney movie (or else NOTHING is coherent), then it doesn't add up at all!
Am I sultin, or salty
Oh that would have been such a better line! >.
The Fangirl muah again ok Q sooo is the letter B at the beginning of were u live?
I called and left message, I almost mailed the letter to Kairi to my grandpa's house, glad mom saw the address or they would've been like....who is dis?
Thx Thx from the likes
KatChatt kairi...?
Hercules acts weren’t considered a hero because they weren’t selfless, he was doing those things for status, not for the people he was helping.
1:45
Hail Hydra!
Now I know that Kingdom Hearts isn't cannon, but it does support your theory. At least the part about turning his "glow" on and off.
0:40 Well...technically Pegasus would count as a god,as his dad is Poseidon.
Greek mythology is weird...
You have officially brought up a Greek myth I've never heard of! Poseidon made Pegasus? Interesting... The movie showed Zeus make him out of clouds, but Hercules was getting all the fanfare, so it seemed obvious, by the movie's set up, that Pegasus was a gift, not another God that was just born.
The story is rather nasty,but long story short...
Poseidon raped Medusa in Athena's temple.
Athena for some reason decided to punish the victim and cursed Medusa.
Perseus later lopped Medusa's head of and Pegasus was born from the stump.
But then again,as you said,different universe so it probably doesn't count.
Pegasus is the son of Poseidon and Medusa....so he’s a demigod? Yep, that doesn’t make any sense either.
Not to mention that Zeus was a lecherous, womanizing, rapist who was known to have many affairs with other women, and was also a sadist who enjoyed throwing lighting bolts on people. Also Hera is the villain in the story.
Another great video
Thank you, new best friend, lol :D
Maybe Hercules could off turned back into a Got at anytime as long as he believed in himself, so Zeus said to go be a Hero to build up his confidence but it didn't work out like Zeus expected and he was only able to transform when he was desperate?
This was posted one day before my birthday
But you have to be a TRUE hero to be allowed on Olymp. The muses may have proclaimed him a hero, but without the adjective.
I personaly always belived that his "hero work" at the begining doesn't count becouse Hercules does them with becoming a hero in mind, so he is practically doing them for fame which isn't verry heroic.
I think Herc fed off the fame, but that wasn’t his motivation. He would still do hero work if he was hated, but you can’t blame an unpopular kid for being happy that he’s finally accepted. 😂
I don't really blame him. I just always thought that it was the most likely reason for zoes to not acept him as a hero. And I always found it kinda irritating when Hercules tried to convince him that he deserved it with the argument "I'm an action figure!" since that was never what heros where for me. Sure, all the marvel and dc heros get practicaly made to be sold as action figures, but I always thought that a real hero didn't need stuf like that. After all, they should be there to help the people, not to sell a bunch of merchandice. So I gues that's pretty much where my train of thoughts always came from.
Hey this is just a question. Shouldn't Meg be a god? Hercules turned into a god after risking his life, completely aware, to save Meg. But, Meg saved him before that! She did the same exact thing Hercules did. The movie even states that Meg literally sold her life force to save another's. THAT IS TWO GOOD THINGS! Wow. Meg is getting ripped of. Not a Disney princess. Not a god. She's not even a hero! WHAT THE HELP IS HAPPENING HERE
An interesting thing is that in the KH universe Hercules can enter god mode at will
Hmm according to greek myths or so i remeber ; the fates were actually above the gods in some respects because they were the ones making fate in a way.
May be the fates didn't want herc to be a god for reasons ( likely associated with hades) ence why even after heroic acts he wasn't being turned into a hero.
I agree that herc in the end degod himself so to speak
Your awesome
ZEUS WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
This isn't a theory... it's reality!
I'd love to see mamma mia theories. It's probably unlikely that'll happen. But there's no harm in trying right!!
Sorry, but I disagree with you. Because Hercules had to learn what a really hero is and learn grow as a character.
In Kingdom Hearts that's actually established...
Yes, I heard the part where Disney greek gods are separate from the myth greek gods but I couldn't help but think of a short myth I read a while back. I can't remember who the goddess in the story was, if I had to guess I'd go with Demeter sometime after the loss of Persephone, in the story, the goddess sees a baby boy and falls in love with it declaring it a perfect child and decides to make him a god. So while the mother is out of the room she takes the baby to the hearth and submerges him in some kind of godly fire.
Naturally, the mother walks back in, sees some random lady throwing her baby into a dang _fire_ and freaks out. This makes the goddess so mad she changes her mind and then just before she leaves the baby and his mother she reveals that she's a goddess and would have granted her child immortal life had she not disrespected in the way she'd done. Completely rubbing it in her face.
What kind of morel was that suppose to give I wonder..? lol It's probably supposed to be a morel about not assuming the worst of someone's motives, or at least that sounds better than, "let people burn your children." Or maybe it wasn't supposed to have a morel, who knows?
In any case, becoming a god in ancient Greek myth, based on this one story, seems as easy as simply getting a god to like you enough. And since Disney was going the route that wouldn't make Zeus, for lack of better words, a total hoe, it's only natural that they'd have to come up with their own rules for becoming a god. Because Hercules couldn't have just been half human if they made Hera his mom. XD
Oh, Disney, I love you, but changing that made some things in your movie way more complicated then they needed to be. At least the music was good.
what if in this disney universe pegaus is a god?
It seems unlikely because he's more of a beast than a God. Plus he had no powers, other than the flight from his wings (more of a mutation..?) so I'm not sure if you could him as a god.
yeah i guess your right....also heres my stupid theroy what if the whole movie is fake? what if the real hurclues is a poor boy and has a horrible life, so he makes up him being hercules? thats it and good-bye
Tbh , there is a constelation called Pegasus. Maybe our Pegasus is or was the constellation of Pegasus or was turned into the constellation and that was the way he was watching over herc during his childhood.
I think this theory might be true because he fell from heaven like a shooting star
hmmm
3:14 - what if this is the biggest overlooked twist in Disney history and in their universe Zeus is related to Muses in some way??? 🤔
Nah. Your theory is better :)
In Greek mythology he is their father xD
That's so cool! I didn't know that :)
Well now you do :)
Princessmiram PlaysROBLOX that's both really cool and really disgusting considering how Zeus... khm... acts with all the women he sees.
lol true, so far Hestia is the only of his three sisters he hasn't slept with
Heracles. That is all.
Zeus... doing something morally questionable? *Nooooooooooooooo*
My thought is that Pegasus was able to live with the gods because he was a creation of a god (Zues) as a gift for another god (Zues's son). And honestly all of the gods seem to be the high society type. Making or breaking rules. Seeing lesser God's as nothing in comparison to themselves. True Hades wants to rule all. But he also lives in, and tells, the raw truth. Where as his brother Zues and the other God's live in a glimmer of fantasy. Like almost all Disney movies the raw truth is seen as 'evil'.
Herc's hero work done during the montage was not worthy because he did it with the wrong idea in mind. Remember Zeus said a true hero is measured by the strength of their heart. He did it mostly to get back into mount Olympus and thought that fame and fortune were the means with which to measure his greatness as a hero. It was not until he did not care about the fame and fortune and did heroic deeds for the sake of the people he did them for (the people and citizens he saved) he was not a TRUE hero. Also the muses as proclaimers of heroes means the telling of their stories, not ruling whether or not they are a hero.
If what MatPat said about Rapunzel and Elsa being twins is true, what if Mother Gothel kidnapped Elsa?
Hi! I would just like to ask if you could do any Harry Potter theories like maybe what would happen if snape married Lilly? Or if Voldemort went for Neville instead of Harry? Or maybe why Voldemort hated dumbledor so much? Sorry I have a lot of questions XD! OK I’m going to go now but you should consider doing this if you haven’t already
Hercules isn't a true hero when he saves the people because he did it for selfish reasons. He did it because he wanted to be a god not because he wanted to help them. When he saves Meg he does it selflessly, not caring about his own status or health. The difference is his motive
I would counter argue that Hercules did train to be a hero because he wanted on Mt. Olympus, BUT he had a caring, desperate to be accepted personality, and I think that drove him more than anything else. He fed off the love he got from herowork. And, I still insist that it the Muses sing a song calling you a hero, then you’re a hero. If they decide who is a hero, they don’t throw that term around lightly.
@@TheFangirlWatches but his goal wasn't to become a hero, his goal was to become a TRUE hero
Zero to hero just like that
*snap*
Pegasus is the child of Poseidon and Medusa so technically a demigod that would be why he could be on Olympics
I will accept that for real mythology, but we all saw Zeus make Pegasus out of clouds in the Disney-verse! :)
It’s funny because Hercules is actually a Demi-God and Hera hated him.
Another great video, like always! You are seriously so great and I love you! ❤️
Love you too!
I tought the problem was that he was doing it because he wanted to be a god, not to help the people. So all of his actions would be selfish
love your hair
Maybe the muses didn't say Hercules was a hero yet because they were having too much fun with their songs
yeah that's twisted
hold up hold up hold up 2:17 i have not watched past that i always thought can't zeus do something about meg and now that u tell me he can WHY DIDN'T HE MAKE MEG A GOD!!! I MEAN HERCULES WOULD HAVE A GOOD HOME AND A GIRLFRIEND BUT NOW A SHIT HOME AND A GIRLFRIEND LIKE WAH?
I have a theory that him and Ariel are cousins. But hates is also Hercules dad's brother who maybe fell in love with Ursulas mom and had her and her sisters. That's why Hercules and Ariel both make it out of the soul's thing. Notice that both are in water and I believe they are the only two scenes like that in the old Disney films. #jamiebolttheory
actually, he is ariel's first cousin once removed! poseidon and zeus = brothers. poseidon's son = triton, zeus's son = hercules. triton and hercules = cousins. triton's daughter = ariel. ariel and hercules = first cousins once removed. so its not really a theory that they're cousins if you combine mythos and disney.
I do believe Heracles may have had his love turn Megara immortal. Think about it. If Heracles earned his immortal back by willingly trading his life for Megara, then Meg surely earned it as well for taking the pillar to save his life. Like Dionysus rescued his mortal mother, Semele from Hades. And she was given immortality, now as Thyone. And besides, it is pointless for them to remain mortal, where they would be doomed in the river of Styx for eternity! 🎗️
Your Disney theories are the best! I used to love this movie until I got interested in mythology and now I can only think about how the original story is super messed up. Still a super great video though!
You sound like my daughter! We watched it and every time his name came up she went "HERACLES!" I probably didn't spell that right, but she's very offended that it doesn't match the name that he should have, lol.
i stayed till the end can you do a theory on the worst witch. It’s on netflix
Good theory
still think meg should have been herc's plus one. I mean she did do quite a bit just to save the guy......and i'm a sap
Why not do a theory on forest gump. BTW this is the person who suggested that idea for that incredibles theory
What about how pride was still alive
