This is basically a show about Greek mythology, one episode is dedicated to one character in the myths. So far, I've seen Hercules, Hades, Zeus, and the Minotaur. And I have a few points from what I have learned about Greek Mythology.
- If you are in a field alone plucking on flowers, BAD SHIT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.
- IF you are way too happy, you might potentially DIE. So lets just say you're with your boy/girlfriend and you are totally in love and you are so so happy together. Tomorrow one of you will die. Pure happiness is only for the gods.
- If you try to outsmart a god, you will be beyond fucked and can't be helped to a lifetime of misery.
Seriously some of these stories are so fucked up: Incest, cannibalism, bestiality, rape and all the other disturbing topics you can think about.
I realized that Disney's Hercules is a super failure version of the real thing. Somebody needs to make an epic movie about these characters. Make the R rated Hercules story in which he kills his own wife and kids before he has to do the 12 labors. I can see that this has Oscar potential written everywhere on it. Hercules: The Brooding Hero.
I appoint Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the new Hercules. Thank you movie gods for listening to my wishes, as a sacrifice I have dedicated this post to you. Or if that's not enough, then I have some pet spiders that I will smite for thee. You are welcome.
