Something else strange about that zeus can't be your dad scene is that I'm pretty sure in a time in Greece it was more common to be zeus's son than being left handed
@ofekk213
you forgot to mention the thing disney violated the most: they tried to make zeus look like a loving and caring father.

Hades in this movie: Evil God who is evil because underworld = hell. Hades in myths: Dour Strict Man who's stuck in a boring but important job who's trying to just live his life, and is probably annoyed at us humans because of how often we kill ourselves.
@ThornTheIndignant
As a greek myth nerd and also someone who watched this movie picking out every innaccuracy i could find, i absolutely love this.
@chimkim
The short pause followed by "You didn't know about Iphicles, did you?" Is absolutely golden
@Tom-vx7qh
Herc: "She's even more beautiful than Aphrodite" Also Herc: *continues to be alive Huge inaccuracy right there
@killer92173
The fact that Herc is still breathing after saying Meg is, "More beautiful than Aphrodite" is beyond me. Lol
@Auvas_Damask
And for whatever reason, when Hades is angry his fire changes from very hot fire to hot fire, since blue fire is actually hotter than yellow fire.

Always weird that Phil didn't believe that Zeus was Hercules father at first, considering Zeus is the father of roughly 10% of greece population.
@DanMort2578
One thing you forgot to mention: at the start of the movie Hades mentions Zeus gave him the job as god of the Underworld, but in reality it was a simple draw between the three gods. Hades just happened to randomly draw the Underworld, like Zeus randomly got the Sky, and Poseidon the Ocean. Zeus didn't give Hades the Underworld. Hades gave himself the Underworld.

I like the way Hades is always described as a bad, mean villain. But actually he’s the only one who does what he’s supposed to do and doesn’t get every living being he comes across pregnant
@unknownuser2897
Watching this video, I’m just now realizing how many Superman elements Disney wove into this. Boy arrives from a world above the heavens, is adopted by a kindly pastoral couple, is told his backstory through a symbol associated with his birth family, and is even wearing a cape. I guess it’s a bit ironic, given Hercules was one of the main inspirations for Superman’s creation.
@kyliviie2903
I'm convinced that Zeus himself wrote that movie script
@begone404
I love how they portrayed Hera as a loving mother to Heracles, even though actually she wasn't his mother, tried to kill him ruthlessly twice, made him kill his own family and interfered in one of his labors, which resulted in Hypolita's death.

“And then along came Zeus!” That singular sentence could be used in the start of almost every tale about a god/hero in Greek Mythology.
@Gh0stCro1ssant
“You didn’t know about Ithaclese did you?” me laughing in Ancient Greek mythology hyperfixation
@YouveBeenMegged
“I know this is gonna shock people, but there were actually no elevators in Greek mythology.” Percy Jackson: sweats nervously
@aacmbirdzilla2343
As one spanish comment once said: "If Disney had been 5% faithful to the original mythology, Hercules wouldn't have been a family friendly movie at all"
@captainbirch2.079
This movie has the greatest hits of mythological inaccuracies 1. Using Hercules instead of Heracles 2. Hades is evil 3. Zeus is a good person All we're missing is the gods not bleeding Ichor.
