Snow and Herc

[RumplesGirl]

Snow and Herc were good friends (and, um, more?) in the days of old. Did you buy their friendship? Their romance? Did you enjoy Herc teaching Snow how to fight? Anything you did’t like?

I’m just relieved that we finally saw who trained Snow White, and I can buy their friendship and brief romance. But I think he should’ve trained her just a little bit more before letting her go toe to toe with those bandits because the only reason they really left was probably because of their fear for Hercules. Had Hercules not been there, I don’t think it would’ve ended so well for Snow White. So she probably should’ve gotten just a few more lessons.

Here’s my problem with their romance….

I understand, and acknowledge that young teenagers can have crushes and even significant relationships but most of those latter ones are borne out of similar, long lasting life experiences. There is usually a significant emotional link between the two–Gus and Hazel have cancer (TFIOS); Henry and Violet lost a parent, and so on and so forth. In the flashback, there is a serious inequality; Hercules has all the power and knowledge and bravery; Snow needs all the power, knowledge and bravery and only her new friend (who happens to be “hawt” as the kids say) can provide this to her.

There’s nothing linking them besides the fact that Snow was saved by this guy who in turn taught her a lesson. Eh. It’s…usually more complicated than that. A relationship—even one as startlingly brief as this one–built only on the girl being swept off her feet by the guy is never going to be well sold in my eyes.

I liked it…and a little part of me has boarded this ship (SnowGod?). I actually didn’t like the idea that he trained her. I think having Merida or Robin do it makes more sense because they are actually connected to the bow and arrow. Not Hercules.

Tonight was a lost opportunity for Hercules and Snow to bond while swapping wicked stepmother stories. Young Snow must suspect by now that there’s something not quite right about Regina, and it seems pointless to abandon the fully Disnified version of Hercules’ origin story if things are going to stay sweet and happy.

I didn’t mind Hercules and Snow being friends, but I agree that Robin Hood not being the one to train Snow is a huge missed opportunity. Also, I wanted Hercules and Meg to have already been in love before he died.

They could have done without the kiss at the end. I had no issue with Snow having a crush on him at first. She’s a tween girl who was just rescued by a hunk of spunk demi-god with bulging biceps, it probably would have felt like something was missing if she hadn’t had a moment of, “Well hullo thar.” But the rest of their scenes they just felt like friends to me, so the kiss was kind of outta nowhere and gratuitious and unecessary.

I loved it.  How could you not like how cute they were?  Both actors did a great job too I thought.  I loved every part of it.  It felt like a crush.  Hunky attractive demi God comes along, pays attention and helps an insecure, not at all confident Snow White…I think teen crush was very realistic there and to say you aren’t buying it seems a little nitpicky I think.

Did anyone else wonder what that magical blue glow was about when they kissed?  It cut away pretty quickly afterwards, but it seemed like an odd thing to have happen.

I didn’t even see it. Sure it wasn’t a lens flair?
