(+) Yeah! (+)

But Kronos fucked with Zeus so Zeus shoved a lightning bolt up Kronos' ass.

Dude drugged Cronus and made him throw up his siblings, talk about hardcore

---

Can you blame Zeus for that one? Dude literally ate him

Technically Kronos didn't do shit to Zeus, since Rhea gave Kronos a rock to eat instead of Zeus.

Well he shouldn't have eaten his other kids. That was not cool.

Now that's fair, not that Zeus gives a fuck about anyone but Zeus and occasionally his kids.

I wish the new God of War would go into detail what happens to a world without God's. It was very obvious in that universe Zeus and Co were heavily involved in the day to day of the people. Assuming Kratos murders Thor and Odin, does that land also fall in to disrepair?

This is true. Raping women while in animal forms is not better than eating your own kids. That family had fucking problems tbh.

Maybe the new comic will cover that.

Or that time he raped a woman while in the form of a "shower of gold".

Oh, and he also married his sister.

What's weird is that, of all the gods/titans/giants/etc. you could easily make a villain out of, Hades is honestly probably one the less likely to actually be a villain, and yet he's almost always the go-to bad guy whenever someone adapts Greek mythology. He's actually... not that bad, comparatively.

Is Hestia that bad? Or Demeter? They dont get much press.

Hades is basically the Greek version of Lucifer right? A fallen brother that is tasked with guarding the underworld because someone needs to?

I always felt bad for Disneys Herculess Hades. Granted, he did eventually get to moustache twirling, but his motivation is that his dick brother and his court of pompous assholes essentially stuck him with an eternity in the most depressing place/job imaginable.

Its kinda like Jafar where it seems like if he were written as more of a human he would be in the right. The Sultan was a blithering idiot and Jasmine was on her way to being married off to some similarly out-of-touch douchebag. Id imagine itd be torture working under them your whole life. The funny thing is, without Jafar Aladdin wouldve probably died in prison or released to be a street rat his whole life, so his existence had a net positive effect on life in Agrabah.

Chronos! Master of all time!

Nah, the Underworld isn't an evil place in Greek mythology: it's just the afterlife. The Greeks(and Romans) pretty much believed that this life was the time for greatness and joy, and that the afterlife was kind of sad and vaguely depressing for most. In the Odyssey, Odysseus visits with a few shades briefly, including Achilles and Tiresias, but they're just shadows of their former selves.
Hades kind of got screwed: he was the eldest son of Kronos, but wound up ruling the least prestigious sphere.
The only bad thing he ever does(that I can think of) in Greek mythology is abduct Persephone, but it really seems like he's just really lonely because nobody visits him and even his fellow Gods find the Underworld creepy and depressing(and thus avoid him). He's featured prominently in the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, where he comes off as fair-minded, even generous. The realm of Hades; however, is not a place of punishment. That would be Tartarus.
Stuff like the Elysian fields; in other words, notions of a positive afterlife better than that to be found in Hades, were a later evolution in Greek and Roman theology, possibly inspired by contact with other belief systems that had (potentially, at least) more positive outlooks on death.

No one can it's impossible!

Ill also point out that Lucifer does not exist in the bible. It was a mistranslation in the King James Version that may or may not have taken a concept from Greco-Roman tradition.
