Concept: mark strong and colin firth as hades and zeus, respectively. In the live action hercules remake.
Yes, wait. This is everything. Mark Strong as the villain in Shazam! was truly wonderful. More dark!mark, I am 100% here for that! (Also Hercules is the live action movie we deserve because James Woods is a Trump-supporting Republican and I would like to separate this cinematic masterpiece from him.)
Also Hades is my favorite and so misunderstood. He’s the good guy of the mythology world and that feels right for that soft, beautiful man. Hades is the only god not taking mistresses or stepping out of his wife in some way. He doesn’t even really kidnap her and besides Persephone eats the pomegranates knowing what they mean. It’s only to appease his MIL Ceres that Hades agrees to the whole 6 months on the surface thing. Persephone doesn’t even really want that. So dude’s just a sad bachelor for half his life because his MIL is rude. Also, the underworld is for everyone, heroes and villains alike, so Hades isn’t some devil figure, he’s the entire afterlife. He’s ushering spirits into the next realm. It’s quite sweet.
Okay, end of my Hades rant :)
Always nice to hear from you, lovely <3
