Oh. Oh dear lord.
Oh what are they doing with my warm happy Greek mythology.
No. Stop it.
Hades is not the Devil. He’s not just the Greek version of Satan.
Yeah. It’s clear they are basing him off the Disney version, which borrows elements from the Devil, such as the use of fire. Meg even goes “speak of the devil”, during one of his scenes in the film. I guess when he rules over dead people in “the Underworld” (Hell is often depicted as a fiery place “down below”), and makes shady deals with people, it’s hard not to make the comparison. But yeah, clearly they are not the same thing.

Right. He’s the good guy Greek god (G4™). Relatively speaking.

Yes, like I know it doesn’t look so great. But the goofy expression doesn’t help. Once he starts talking, and acting like Hades, and maybe if the blue hair erupts when he’s angry etc. it will be fine. I feel like we can’t fully say whether it will work or not until we see him act and interact with the characters.

Does this mean they are going to do their own thing and we won’t see any Greek mythology? I kind of assumed this would possibly lead to Olympus with the Gods, but if they are referring to Hades as the Devil and not the God of the Underworld, then I am more inclined to think that they will leave most of the Greek mythology out of it, and just use the way Hades was portrayed in the Disney film (fun but also dangerous as A&E put it, and with blue hair) and just swap out God of the Underworld for Devil.
February 5, 2016 at 6:12 pm #316116PriceofMagicParticipantIf Hades is the “devil” then who’s taking on the good guy “god” role? It can’t be Emma because her character has been destroyed beyond recognition which is a shame because season 1 Emma as the saviour having to take on Hades, perhaps to save Henry, would’ve been great.

It depends if we’ll be seeing any of the other Greek Gods other than Hades this Season. We’re getting Herc and Meg, so perhaps Zeus appearing isn’t far off. And yes, I know the original Greek myth version of Zeus is less than a noble guy. If we get Zeus, my dream casting for him would be Timothy Omundson (King Richard from Galavant). He certainly has the beard for it, and hey he’s probably available at the moment.

I mean…..it could happen 😛

I dunno, he could be like Victoria’s Cruella and add some enjoyment to the show. If Zeus were to appear, I’m guessing it would likely be as a one off.
