        Isn’t that pretty much on par for most Greek gods and demigods, though?

          AFAIK yes, The only reason their kill count isnt higher is because most of their victims were other gods and titans who were immortal.

          No, Greek gods are immortal. There’s an exception here and there, and maybe the Fates could do it but they’re not usually killable even by other gods like the Norse or Egyptian pantheons.

            I meant more that murder was pretty standard for them to commit than them being victims of murder not being extraordinary 😉

              Sure, but Disney Hercules’s family is Zeus and Hera so it just kind of shuts down that problem entirely. We even know other gods can’t kill gods in the Disney version because getting his immortality is a plot point.

                Its been a loooong time since I watched this movie but theres also Megara, right? And if theres Megara, then Hercules’ yet to be born children are implied. If theres Megara and children Hercules will kill them. c:

                  Sure, but they’d be gods, and immune to his murder spree, so it’d just be child abuse!

                  But, more importantly, Hera is the one that magics him into a murdererous rage for being Zeus’s bastard, and in Disney canon she’s just his mom.

      I love that you call him by his correct name!

        It’s incorrect though, Heracles is the Greek demigod, Hercules is the Roman one, but also the name of that shitty Disney adaptation baby hero.

        Disney Hercules will never live up to Heracles.

      All that silky smoothness is on point.
