          You are right, again it’s Disney who made did a character assassination of Hades.

          I want to comment that James Woods did an impeccable performance, I don’t think he would fit if Hades was portrayed differently, but as he was there.

            If you want a good depiction of Hades, Kaos is fantastic. Great depiction of Zeus too, fuckin asshole that he is

            Disney wasn’t the first, similar to Loki Christians in the 1800s needed a devil figure and the Lord of the underworld was a perfect step in. Christian interpretations of non Christian mythology in the 1800s is wild due to the amount of bias they tended to have. A good example is comparing modern Norse neo pagans to Viking leagues of the early 1900s which are still steeped in that analysis.
