"We dance, we kiss, we schmooze, everybody goes home happy. Whaddaya say?" -Hades

Words to live by.

"I haven't been this choked up since I got that chunk of moussaka caught in my throat! What is this, an audience or a mosaic?" - I still laugh out loud at that.

And voiced by James Woods, to boot.

Thor would like to have a word with you

[–]7-sidedDice[S] 9 points10 points ago

I prefer flaming hair :)

[–]THEAdrian 7 points8 points ago

Thor was described as having red hair

[–]exousic 6 points7 points ago

a Soulless god?

[–]OBrien 3 points4 points ago

He was born without a soul, but he eventually harvested Giant Souls enough to make up for it.

False, Odin destroyed the ice giants

Thor plays for an Irish football team? How come they're all so shit?

[–]THEAdrian 0 points1 point ago

Why in the hell would Thor ever play such a shitty sport? and he certainly wouldn't play for Ireland...

[–]17Hongo 0 points1 point ago

Well the Swedish, Norwegian and Danish league teams are all fairly dire as well...

[–]metalmusicatheism 10 points11 points ago

In reality, hades was probably the least doucheiest of the gods.

[–]gravitydefyingturtle 6 points7 points ago*

The 'fact' that he kidnapped his future wife and is still the least douchy of the Greek gods is saying something.

EDIT: wording

[–]deadfajita 1 point2 points ago

You might want to look into that a bit more. In greek (ancient)culture all a man had to do was make a deal with the father of the bride and then take her for himself. Hades made a deal with Zeus about Persephone, but Zeus forgot to tell her and her mother. This is what caused Demeter to go into her depression.

[–]gravitydefyingturtle 0 points1 point ago

Ah, I was unaware of that part.

[–]17Hongo 1 point2 points ago

Well, the Greek goes were a fairly depraved lot... I kind of have to respect the Greeks for that. They wanted Gods to follow the example of, and so unabashedly created ones that they would be happy to follow, as opposed to trying to create a "Holy -of holies" that surreptitiously gives the same message. Their Gods were much more interesting too.

In reality

[–]metalmusicatheism 4 points5 points ago

reality, as in the mythology. Gods can exist in the mind.

[–]OccamsAxe 2 points3 points ago

I know what you meant. I was just picking your words apart.

[–]AzraelAnkh 0 points1 point ago

This is why I love Reddit. I was just thinking "That portrayal is incorrect, he was often known as the Silent/Generous One..." And here you seem to have cleared that up. :)

[–]OccamsAxe 4 points5 points ago

Hades from this movie was not Hades from the ancient Greek religion. He played a part more akin to Satan than to the actual character, who was the nicest and most relaxed of the gods.

[–]parazoa 2 points3 points ago

People always tend to equate gods of the underworld with the devil. Even though they're rarely ever evil.

[–]OccamsAxe 1 point2 points ago

I know, and it pisses me off.

Rage Quit!

[–]Omahunek 4 points5 points ago

James Woods really made that movie. Without him, it was mediocre, but with him it was fantastic.

[–]ConditionOne 3 points4 points ago

Fuck Yea, James Woods!

[–]impshial 3 points4 points ago

Two thumbs WAY Up!

[–]DJAshian 2 points3 points ago

I thought it was a Bronie in the thumbnail...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Well, there IS a hell in equestria.

Maybe there is a brony in the thumbnail?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Horry sheet, the existence of Tartarus implies a pony Hades.

[–]boot2skull 2 points3 points ago

Someone to care for, to be there for. I have James Woods.

[–]The_Mexorcist26 2 points3 points ago

Its funny that Hades had nothing to do with Hercules in the original story.

[–]godless_savage 1 point2 points ago

I've got James Woods!

[–]Lefmleed 1 point2 points ago

Is that a joint?

[–]fishlegs5 1 point2 points ago

All he wanted was complete domination. I think it would have made for an interesting change.

[–]SuperNoob1258 0 points1 point ago

Phallic symbol.

[–]bloodraven42 0 points1 point ago

Im more partial to the God Bender meets in Futurama, instead. That's a religious figure I could get behind.

[–]pross182 0 points1 point ago

James Woods is my god too

[–]citrusmunch 0 points1 point ago

"...god...created" heh.

[–]dobrpit35 0 points1 point ago

Why is he smoking a poo?

[–]tooth2004 0 points1 point ago

I never understood why everyone was against the titans so much I mean during their time there was the golden age when everyone was happy and it was only spring!!!

[–]Indypunk 0 points1 point ago

I beg to differ. THIS guy is the most awesome god: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3481245952/ch0026790

[–]kissfan7 -1 points0 points ago

There's something wrong with the pic. It says "Most awesome god ever created!", but the picture does not look like Shiva.
