"You are specks of dust beneath our fingernails. Your very breath is a gift from Olympus. You have insulted powers beyond your comprehension" gives me goosebumps every time.
I love how Hades is depicted as a frail, quiet old man as he walks up those stairs, yet his very name instills terror and fear to all who cross his path. I really enjoyed Fienne's portrayal of Hades.
"In 10 days, when the sun is eclipsed, I will unleash the Kraken. I'm sorry you have to wait so long, but we have to borrow the Kraken from Scandinavian mythology and we have a bit of paper work to complete. Yggdrasil bureaucracy is Sisyphean in its tedium."
In actual mythology Hades was one of the nicest Greek gods and one of the fairest. Just because Hades is god of the underworld doesn't automatically mean he's evil
He even let Orpheus bring back his dead wife out of the underworld to the living, with one condition don’t look back until they completely out of the underworld.
While you are not wrong, this is largely a modern interpretation. Fact is, he simply did not appear in enough myths to come off as a jerk. The ancient Greeks were so terrified of him that there were no shrines, no temples, no sacrifices, no prayers, because they knew he was inconsolable. With the other gods you could bargain. Not with Hades. The only myths that feature him also have a hero whose major attribute is the ability to bargain with him (think Orpheus or Hermes) and it is made clear what great feat it is to move Hades to mercy. We only have the stories that depict him in somewhat positive light, because he was otherwise so terrifying to the Greeks that they would not even speak his name. He was instead called by epithets like Plouton "Wealthy One" or Agesandros "He who carries away all men". In that regard, he was the OG He Who Must Not Be Named, which is kinda fitting, considering who plays him in this movie.
He was fair but he definitely wasn't nice, he just wasn't unnecessarily cruel and didn't outright make the lives of people much more harder unless you did something worth punishing and when Persephone comes to the underworld and brings fall and winter but that was technically because of Demeter and not him
The last two comments are absolutely correct: Hades isn't evil, he is unwavering; no amount of prayers, no amount of tears, no amount of pleads will persuade him.
At this point, making the third film would be difficult, but also quite obligatory. Hades, as yet, hasn't, technically, been punished for his crimes. I would also have expected it, since it had killed Perseus' adoptive family.
@@lamueldagon7618 That has come and gone throughout history, even within their own countries/region. it IS smart to tie ones authority to a divine source, if you can retain power.
"Who are you?!" Um ... Does it matter who he is? When someone manifests via smoke and ash, then turns into a swirling vortex that sucks up everything in its path, knowing their name is the LAST thing you should worry about.
Well, I think I know what they were trying to convey here. You have to understand that in Greek mythology, Hades was the most feared of the gods, specifically because he ruled in the afterlife and he was related to the concepts of decay, death, ground and sacrifice. There were cults that would committ blood sacrifices just to appease him. While he wasn't exactly an evil god, as he was no different in the natural order as the other gods, he was a necessary god to be feared of. I think the film was attempting to show just that hence their reaction when they realize its Hades himself.
Well, people dare to stand against Kronos' army of Makhai. So what I think is, supernatural abilities don't frighten them. But knowing he is the God of the Underworld, what else can you fear more?
1:07 The way he delivers the that line, "I am Hades", sends shivers down my spine, he really makes this character compelling, believable, terrifying...
People often mistake Hades for being the God of Death. No, he is not the God of Death, but the God of the Underworld. Thanatos is the God of Death. Know your greek mythology guys! Your welcome!
Crazy Foodge Also makes me wonder if Thanos got his name from Thanatos. What has Thanos been pushing? The death of half the universe’s population. Coincidence? Probably not.
Hades has the power to control death though, in the first movie, he brought death to the queen, in the second movie, he took death away from Zeus to save him.
Thanatos is technically only one of the gods of death (specifically peaceful/nonviolent death), whereas Makaria was the goddess of blessed death and the Keres were the goddesses of violent death.
Hades may not be the god of death because he rules the underworld which also encompasses the realm of Thanatos and so on, he has power over death. Just like Zeus who is a sky god but can also control things like the very nature of heaven etc.

The way their faces show pure fear when he says his name is 100% correct. In Ancient Greece, Hades was the most feared of all the Gods. They respected all of them, some more than others, but Hades was the one that they feared most
Hades was so feared by the ancient Greeks that there isn't a single image, a single shrine, a single temple, a single votive inscription dedicated to Hades in both ancient Greece and ancient Rome! Not a single one... That's how much the ancient people feared him!
@@franeasanovic2761 Hades was without a doubt one of the least unpleasant of all the Olympic gods, he was not petty, and he either left the mortals alone or even helped them from time to time... but you know since it was the god of death and greeks were afraid of dying he never got so much praying nor worship...
When people in the ancient Greece wanted to took a serious oath, they'll stomp their feet several times and call over Hades to hear their words, knowing that if they broke their oath Hades would reclaim them if they failed

"This is the will of Zeus. The will of your father" Seemed to me he was still talking to everyone and yet they could tell he was saying that last part to Perseus
Hades:You are specks of dust beneath our fingernails. Your very breath is a gift from Olympus. You have insulted powers beyond your comprehension. Queen: Who are you? Hades: I am Hades. It was at this time that she knew, she %#*! up.
I hate it when movies make Hades a bad guy. He rules the underworld, so he gets turned into a version of the devil. It's lazy and it totally misunderstands Greek mythology. The Harryhausen version got it right: mortals were pawns in the squabbles of the gods, but it wasn't about one irredeemably evil god who caused all the trouble.
She knows not to insukt the gods...she was being stupid ....an olympian god probably wouldve done worse...like turned her into a damn stick or raped her
This Hades wasn't a "villian" Because of the queens actions, knocking down statues and turning their backs to the gods, even as much as comparing themselves above the gods, they just sought to teach the mortals a lesson.
If I recall correctly, Hades wasn't exactly a villain in this movie. He decided to betray his fellow gods because they tricked him into ruling the Underworld and he's still bitter about it, and rightfully so. While the gods basked in the prayers of the mortals in their shiny fancy home, Hades got none of that while he is forced to rule and live in such a gloomy and unpleasant place. Seeing how the humans have become arrogant and disrespectful to the gods, he saw this as an opportunity to do his revenge. I like how this issue, the betrayal by his brothers and why he turned bad, was addressed in the sequel movie.
depending on which version, when they were deciding got to rule what place, either zeus and poseidon cheat so hades is stuck with the underworld; hades knew they cheated and took the underworld anyway; or he willingly accepted the underworld as his.
Zeus and other gods feed from the people's prayers and faith to live while Hades forced himself and learned to feed from mortal's fear, and that what makes him strong and lives.
@@ksgdjf8673 Hades doesn't feed from fear. That's Ares, whose sons were Deimos and Phobos (Fear and Terror) themselves, in the battlefield. Ancient Greeks fear Hades but he doesnt feed on their fears.
This and the other's were great, Sam did a great job as well as the others. The negative were just a selected few who needed a cuddle or two from Hades to enjoy their life ;)
When Hades said kneel, the rest of the people kneeled as well even though Hades was only talking to the queen. That shows how much these people fear Hades. He is a force to be reckoned with. Hell of a performance.
Hades is the ruler, the lord, and the god of the Underworld. Everything that isn't Divine will bow to him, eventually. A king or peasant, a sinner or a saint, a soldier or a general: all shall answer to him.
Well, Hades has a right to be feared. he is the eldest son of Kronos and Rhea as Hestia is the eldest daughter, Hades is also the God of the Underworld, and arguably more powerful than his brother Zeus.
Ralph Fiennes is one hell of an actor, I’ll agree. He’s also done the best Hades in my opinion to date. I’m not even going to look at that crap that was the Percy Jackson film series.
This was better than the sequel. When Hades introduced himself, as “ I am Hades” and the echoes of his voice followed, I almost crying in the theatre, that was scary af back then.
@Evyen Biwer true but I guess he was talking bout the transition from life to death because he can feel their souls entering his realm basically I guess idk that's what i kinda got from it
When the Queen questioned the identity of the god of the underworld, notice how the sound of death echoes over the palace: he doesn't scream, because he doesn't need to. for only when saying that he is Hades did the people present grind their teeth, scream in fear at his speech, as if death came to collect them all.
0:31 "Interesting..." I'm guessing that Hades said that because he thought Perseus was human and the only beings that wouldn't be sucked into his "attack" would be other gods and demigods right?
@@JoseBarahonaes It was seeing him from after the statue fell and also because he was able to resist the pull that took Argos' soldiers. It was at that moment he put two and two together and realised this was Zeus' child.
He said interesting because he was able to survive a hades attack which no other human would have survive. His whole family die except for him when hades threw a giant fire ball at him and sunk a ship.
I love how this Hades is how Hades should really have been. An Arbiter. His authority doesn't come from the usual pride Hades supposedly has in popularized versions but from his subservience to order, death being one of the Natural orders, and specifically (2:34) to the Gods (Zeus).
The only thing they did "wrong" was making Hades the villain almost cause in the real mythology he was kind and fair. Almost more than all the other gods
@Juan Rivera No he isnt. Lucifer is from a completely different religion. Hades had a wife and his own land. Hades was actually the lesser evil of his brothers. Only reason people were scared of him...Was well, because he's the god of death. Do you think Anubis is also Lucifer?
maybe but if Hollywood wanted to be 100% then they would have Zeus turn into a swan and bang a chick. Sometimes changes for the sake of a good story are better than the original.
@Harpoxy H. no , he didn't cheat her. Persephone's case was the only tyrant thing he ever did. He only cheated Persephone ONCE , and only ONCE she cheated him back , way different than his rapist brothers. After that , he even helped Orpheus and Hercules peacefully. When Asclepious was ressurecting people , Hades only asked Zeus to stop him , while Zeus simply killed Asclepious. While Tanthalus , Sisiphus and Axion are rightfully punished for high crimes. Axion for been the first mortal murderer , Tanthalus for killing his sons and use them to feed the gods just to test them and Sisiphus for chaining Thanatos. In short , Hades is not evil in Greek Myths , out of Chronos' sons , he is the better one.
I known this is late, but I have read the version of where Persephone is dragged into the Underworld, but I have heard of another version of where she wanders into the Underworld willingly. Wouldn’t blame her on how Demeter (her mother) is. As for the fruit of the underworld...the story I read is that Persephone absolutely refused to go back to Demeter who was unleashing a never ending winter on Earth wanting her daughter back (during this or before, Demeter turns a young mortal boy into a lizard) In this version, Persephone was dead set on eating the fruit and Hades was desperately trying to stop/convince her to go back.
I would argue that while it's meant for laughes, his portrayal in Hercules was spot on lore wise. Imagine you and your brother both land a job with a huge company, and you both bust your buts at it for a while. However, at one point your brother gets promoted to *the* head position in that company, and he then appoints you the top spot in one of the most disgusting positions within the company. Sure, the job in question is *necessary*, but you're gonna be quite bitter about it in the end. And that's what the dynamic between Hades and Zues was in the mythology. He wasn't necessarily evil, he was just stuck with the shittiest job possible, he can't quit it, and worse yet his brother gets all the fame.
My fiance and I joked that if we ever would have a wedding ( I hate weddings) I would walk down the aisle to the earth Vader theme 😂😂😂 This music would do the trick too tho
Hades is such a cool character. From Disney's Hercules, to this film, to Percy Jackson. Now, if only I could actually be good with him in SMITE. I just cannot get his rotation down, I die in mere seconds

He's not accurate to the myths. In the myths Hades is one of the nicest Greek gods and the fairest. People automatically assume that Hades is evil just cuz he's a god of the underworld when that's the opposite.
@@lightknight6749 Same with the Hindu goddess Kali, she's the goddess of destruction and looks like a demon but actually is a fierce protective mother to all.
@@lightknight6749 Yeah I've just been reading into it recently and the mythology is fantastic. She fought a demon whose blood, when it hit the ground, would grow into full size versions of him. She killed him by cutting off his head and drinking all the blood. She went into a murderous rage killing all the other demons until they were all dead but didn't stop and started killing innocent people. Shiva her husband threw himself on the ground and she stepped on him before she came to and realized what she had done. In most of her images she is pictured standing on him with her tongue out. It's pretty fascinating stuff.
This is my favorite scene in the whole movie Ralph is not only the god of the underworld he is a God in the acting world truly one of the best actors of our time.
I love the *"Interesting."* and the fact that Perseus was willing to charge him basically unarmed. Like, "My name is Perseus. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Hell of a performance.
Wasn’t fear that did that if you look at the king there was some sort of force he began feeling until he left
Ahhh pun intented?
@@omarsalem1219 I don't see why not 😎
Hades is the ruler, the lord, and the god of the Underworld. Everything that isn't Divine will bow to him, eventually.
A king or peasant, a sinner or a saint, a soldier or a general: all shall answer to him.
Well, Hades has a right to be feared. he is the eldest son of Kronos and Rhea as Hestia is the eldest daughter, Hades is also the God of the Underworld, and arguably more powerful than his brother Zeus.
So lord voldermort grew hair?
dinoworld112 and a nose!
Is the same actor
And started chainsmoking judging by his voice.
And a nose
dinoworld112 and a nose
this man can act ......... watch his other roles and u will see
such as lord voldemort and Harry from in Bruges. Both are played excellently.
Sheep Is for the weak oh shit didn't know that
he is the red dragon
goindeep dont hè play dem WW2 camp Boss?
Ralph Fiennes is one hell of an actor, I’ll agree. He’s also done the best Hades in my opinion to date. I’m not even going to look at that crap that was the Percy Jackson film series.
I love how Hades says "Interesting" as he's looking at some bug in his garden that he's never seen before
This was better than the sequel.
When Hades introduced himself, as “ I am Hades” and the echoes of his voice followed, I almost crying in the theatre, that was scary af back then.
Part two way better lol
Carlos Gonzalez Sure bruh.
Anyway,
Clash of the Titans BO = USD 493.2 mil WW (budget 125mil)
Wrath of The Titans BO = USD 302 mil WW (budget 150mil)
When he said that you can clearly see the queen go ghost white.
@@__itsRobin They prolly thought the sequel would suck since the first one did.
" what do you know about beauty?" "What's more beautiful than death?" Chillls
@Captain Sparrow edgy but cool
@Evyen Biwer true but I guess he was talking bout the transition from life to death because he can feel their souls entering his realm basically I guess idk that's what i kinda got from it
@Evyen Biwer thanks, I love theories and stuff that's the best part about movies or shows
Excuse me Hades could you SPEAK UP A BIT?
When the Queen questioned the identity of the god of the underworld, notice how the sound of death echoes over the palace: he doesn't scream, because he doesn't need to. for only when saying that he is Hades did the people present grind their teeth, scream in fear at his speech, as if death came to collect them all.
0:31 "Interesting..." I'm guessing that Hades said that because he thought Perseus was human and the only beings that wouldn't be sucked into his "attack" would be other gods and demigods right?
He attracted everything made of metal!
He was referring to a previous scene when his ship was sunk!
@@JoseBarahonaes It was seeing him from after the statue fell and also because he was able to resist the pull that took Argos' soldiers. It was at that moment he put two and two together and realised this was Zeus' child.
@@hellsgate09 I think he pulled the soldiers because of their armors, soldiers and shields!
He said interesting because he was able to survive a hades attack which no other human would have survive. His whole family die except for him when hades threw a giant fire ball at him and sunk a ship.
1:10 It was at this moment she knew she fucked up.
zeus just shapeshifted and tricked his way into their pants lol
I love how this Hades is how Hades should really have been. An Arbiter. His authority doesn't come from the usual pride Hades supposedly has in popularized versions but from his subservience to order, death being one of the Natural orders, and specifically (2:34) to the Gods (Zeus).
The only thing they did "wrong" was making Hades the villain almost cause in the real mythology he was kind and fair. Almost more than all the other gods
Everybody Gangsta until He said " I am Hades"
When he said "What is more beautiful than death?" she should have responded "Your wife, Persephone." Couldn't really argue with that, then.
Talk about persephone and receive eternal torture in tartarus. Have fun with that.
@Evyen Biwer thats what I meant lel
You never learn. Sometime you don’t say back, cus it’s rude or because U can well thus it means you have no respect.
Sunglasses YEAHHHH!!!!!!!!!
@Juan Rivera No he isnt. Lucifer is from a completely different religion. Hades had a wife and his own land. Hades was actually the lesser evil of his brothers. Only reason people were scared of him...Was well, because he's the god of death.
Do you think Anubis is also Lucifer?
Love how he uses the Voldemort voice. So iconic i’m sure the director even insisted. Great acting.
This movie is sooo underrated! Fiennes nailed this role, obviously enjoys playing it.
Funny thing is the Queen never died. There’s a deleted scene where it shows her laying in bed still living & breathing. Hades only aged her.
Luke Eps He aged her to the point she shouldn’t be living.
Thanks for clarifying that, I always wondered if she died or not.
@@UnknownPersononGoogle how old was she before he aged her?
BilPapa Rigormoetis probably mid 40’s in the deleted scenes she’s in her hundreds and can’t move.
You’d think he’d remember to return her prime after settling his differences with his brother😅
When that one kid says one too many insults in your direction, and you're max prestige:
0:28 comes out of swirling vortex of doom
"AVADA KEDAVRA!!!"
i love this comment XD
You spell it wrong.
@@SBATHORGOD Really? Show me the correct spelling then.
I could hear voldemorts voice when i read this
I remember when I first watched this movie, the moment he said, "I am Hades", I felt like I have to kneel too. That's how good the acting is.
For those who dont know, there was a sequal to this film called "Wrath of the titans"
hades is always misrepresented
maybe but if Hollywood wanted to be 100% then they would have Zeus turn into a swan and bang a chick. Sometimes changes for the sake of a good story are better than the original.
Aaron
Well technically he did do that in this movie he flies into a woman's room a s a eagle then transforms into the king then he u know
This is what the Gods did to people that showed hubris, they were all petty like this
@Harpoxy H. no , he didn't cheat her.
Persephone's case was the only tyrant thing he ever did.
He only cheated Persephone ONCE , and only ONCE she cheated him back , way different than his rapist brothers.
After that , he even helped Orpheus and Hercules peacefully.
When Asclepious was ressurecting people , Hades only asked Zeus to stop him , while Zeus simply killed Asclepious.
While Tanthalus , Sisiphus and Axion are rightfully punished for high crimes. Axion for been the first mortal murderer , Tanthalus for killing his sons and use them to feed the gods just to test them and Sisiphus for chaining Thanatos.
In short , Hades is not evil in Greek Myths , out of Chronos' sons , he is the better one.
I known this is late, but I have read the version of where Persephone is dragged into the Underworld, but I have heard of another version of where she wanders into the Underworld willingly.
Wouldn’t blame her on how Demeter (her mother) is.
As for the fruit of the underworld...the story I read is that Persephone absolutely refused to go back to Demeter who was unleashing a never ending winter on Earth wanting her daughter back (during this or before, Demeter turns a young mortal boy into a lizard)
In this version, Persephone was dead set on eating the fruit and Hades was desperately trying to stop/convince her to go back.
what do you know about beauty? what is more beautiful than death. chillls
You just copied another comment? Literally right below this one
Why is Hades depicted as a ruthless villain in most forms of media? He’s not evil, he’s just doing his job
Christian symbolism infused on everything
He ends up a good guy however.
I would argue that while it's meant for laughes, his portrayal in Hercules was spot on lore wise. Imagine you and your brother both land a job with a huge company, and you both bust your buts at it for a while. However, at one point your brother gets promoted to *the* head position in that company, and he then appoints you the top spot in one of the most disgusting positions within the company. Sure, the job in question is *necessary*, but you're gonna be quite bitter about it in the end. And that's what the dynamic between Hades and Zues was in the mythology. He wasn't necessarily evil, he was just stuck with the shittiest job possible, he can't quit it, and worse yet his brother gets all the fame.
@ Jonathan Davenger but that is not his personality
0:01-0:30 I love his entrance music! That's how I want to show up somewhere. It doesn't matter where.
Man: I'm hungry *music plays as he gets out banana*
My fiance and I joked that if we ever would have a wedding ( I hate weddings) I would walk down the aisle to the earth Vader theme 😂😂😂 This music would do the trick too tho
If you have the power of making a shadow tornado , go for it
"Who are you?!"
"Oh... we don't say my name."
Hades is such a cool character. From Disney's Hercules, to this film, to Percy Jackson. Now, if only I could actually be good with him in SMITE. I just cannot get his rotation down, I die in mere seconds
2,1,3. Over and over. If you can get an Ares to pull everyone to you for your ult, you're golden. - A diamond Hades :)
@@MadMontyMN That makes a lot of sense. I tried him again in practice. Your rotation works, my problem is I kept catching myself using 2,3,1. I had to correct myself 5 or 6 times 😅
You know what would have saved the lives of people? Leaving Argos within the 10 freaking days. Gods didn't expect evacuation now did they XD
And I'm not even talking about the wild animals.
Depends on whether you like big scorpions or not.
Actually In The Movie They Couldn't Evacuate Because Hades Would Just Flood The City
And besides...the gods can see the whole planet as a virtual map😅
Has anyone repeated this clip for like 10x already?
I just can’t get over how epic and superb Ralph’s acting was. Gave me goosebumps.
Edit: The music made it 10x better as well.
Ralph Fiennes nailed his role just like he did for the Voldemort role
Never let Voldemort get a hold of his nose. He becomes a god.
Most epic entrance ever
Hades : You are specs of dust underneath our fingernails
Me : I felt that 😬
"Name is Hades, Lord of the Dead. Hi, how're you doin'?"
"I am Hades"
"Kneel"
Kratos: "Well, time to hunting"
2:17 that's Voldemort's impression
I love how he just appears and then the first thing he does when he gets in their face, is insults them.
0:54 oh so when he says that, it’s cool but when I walk into a room saying that, I’m dramatic.
Not dramatic. If you say that you're edgy
“Your very breath is a gift from Olympus,”
Hades, both you and I know you haven’t stepped in that place for a few thousand years at least...
Literally one of the most perfect and badass "villain" characters ever.
Hades: "Argos has 10 days until the Kraken is unleashed unto it's destruction!!!...."
Perseus: "uh... yeah, um... so there's this Spartan I know...."
Lmfao
Nice
Evyen Biwer i dont get plz help me
@@mouthopenmonkey4571 "that Spartan" that I Jokingly, say Perseus knows about is the one and only GrecoRoman Deity-killer, "Ghost of Sparta" ... KRATOS
(cue: Epic God of War opening Title music)
i love the part where he speaks in behalf of zeus about how offensive this mortal queen did to the gods‚ hades has a heart 🫶🏻
dude rolled in hard af...I absolutely love him as Hades
He's not accurate to the myths. In the myths Hades is one of the nicest Greek gods and the fairest. People automatically assume that Hades is evil just cuz he's a god of the underworld when that's the opposite.
@@lightknight6749 Same with the Hindu goddess Kali, she's the goddess of destruction and looks like a demon but actually is a fierce protective mother to all.
@@Rattus-Norvegicus that's awesome! I don't know much about the hindu gods so it's nice to hear more about them
@@lightknight6749 Yeah I've just been reading into it recently and the mythology is fantastic. She fought a demon whose blood, when it hit the ground, would grow into full size versions of him. She killed him by cutting off his head and drinking all the blood. She went into a murderous rage killing all the other demons until they were all dead but didn't stop and started killing innocent people. Shiva her husband threw himself on the ground and she stepped on him before she came to and realized what she had done. In most of her images she is pictured standing on him with her tongue out. It's pretty fascinating stuff.
I keep expecting him to say..
"I AM THE DARK LORD, I AM VOLDEMORT!"
😂
Trash
Voldemort: "IMPERIUS. Kneel."
This is my favorite scene in the whole movie Ralph is not only the god of the underworld he is a God in the acting world truly one of the best actors of our time.
And that’s why I come back to this scene from time to time he’s a powerful actor for sure
I love the *"Interesting."* and the fact that Perseus was willing to charge him basically unarmed. Like, "My name is Perseus. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
That moment when you get sucked into SCP-106's pocket dimension: 0:11
0:41 the music, the godly feel, that BELL sound. Superv
idc what anyone says, this scene is one of the best scenes that was ever created!
for me this is the highlight of fhe film. ralph fiennes delivered the lines so perfectly you got goosebumps
Hades certainly knows how to make an entrance!!!
Maleficent curse = WHEN THE SUN SETS ON HER 16TH BIRTHDAY, SHE WILL....
Hades = hold my beer very quickly please..
"When the sun ECLIPSE"
Hades knows how to make an entrance… and an exit.
Ralph Fiennes can play future Gandalf or Saruman, he has the looks and aura
Finally, he you-know-who got his hair and nose back
“Your very breath is a gift from Olympus” I told him to say that.
;)
Hera how are you and zeus?
Smd
@@arldsouza8463 They lived happy for a milenia, then they met :D
@@wildhunt6350 Let us transform you into something more useful, a cow perhaps?
She grew huge balls and asked him in an arrogant tone who he is after all that and they immediately dropped on the floor after he said his name.
The way he says:
"I am Hadessss"
Is Ominous , a well delivered line
When he says his hades u know ur screwed
Her face when he revealed his name 😂
At 2:12.... He did not know what he's about to say will become one of the best memes.... Unleash the kraken 😂
"Who are you?"
"Beesh, did you f*cking see what I just did ?"
Smd.
Acting so high and mighty until he tells them who he is and they cower
Percy Jackson movie adaptation should take some goddamn notes.
Would be great someone this powerful scares world leaders to there knees in rl lol
Jotaro Kujo wonder if the modern armies have a chance against the kraken...
@Michaelle Green Nuking it, yes, sure.
And then we'd eat cooked octopus like we do in Spain. But not as radioactive.
Rail gun would kill it after a 2 or 3 shots.
Or 1 nuke
@Michaelle Green Why would it take a lot? A small-yield nuke would kill it 20 times over.
Never realized how much Hades sounds like He Who Shall Not Be Named.
Say what you will about this movie, but Hades had an incredible entrance!
