Anastasia is my fav non-disney movie nd probably my fav princess altogether. But supercarlinbros makes a comment on this i think in one of their theory vids over a yr ago.
If Mulan is considered as a Princess, Megara should be too!! But most of the time, they forgot the princesses when the movie is not famous enough like the princess kida of atlantide!
You are right people try put excuses why she should not be considered a princess, like she is not linked with royalty thats not true cause not only Zeus is a god but he also is the king of the Olympus and all goods, like she is not the protagonist of the film, Jasmine isn't either or that Mulan is it because though she is not linked with rotalty She made an act of heroism. If Meg willing to sacrifice her life over Hércules isn't an act of heroism I don't get it.
Daviid fdez29 In The Myth Megara is supposed to be the daughter of Creon Who was the King of Thebes (Creon was Antigones(Daughter of Oidipous Rex) King uncle who wouldn't let her burry her brother's corpse) WHICH MAKES HER A PRINCESS.
Anna Yes I also know about the fact that in the real myth she is in fact a princess the princess of Thebes. But what I meant is that even ignoring that in the disney version she should still be considered a princess because her partner Hercules is the prince of the gods,son of Zeus the king of the gods, so that would make her a princess.
There's a certain set of rules to be a disney princess, You have to be an animated character Either born royal, married royal or have commited a significant act of heroism And the unspoken rule _box office success,_ which is why characters like Meg and Kida aren't "official" disney princesses.
she is the best Disney princess in my opinion due to the fact she isn't so obnoxious and oblivious to everything she has had a dreadful past and deals with it with perfect morals she stands for what she believes and she knows there is disappointment through life and that is what makes her the best Disney princess.
She's nit a Disney princess only because Hercules didn't sell very well which is surprising. I still count her as a Disney princess because she was created by Disney

While I agree that she is definitely one of the best disney heroines, she isn't a princess as she doesn't really have any connections to royalty. (I still get annoy when people say Mulan is a princess, even though she was not born into royalty, nor did she marry into it.)
Technically, it's never confirmed that they got married, also it's not out of the realm of possibility that when Hercules chose to stay mortal, it could be considered that he abdicated his right to the throne. But that could just be me looking to far into things.
Hunter Brown Why? She’s her own person and landed herself a god. If you think about it, that’s waaay better than being a disney princess (aka part of a fanchise where not a single one takes on the respectable workload that comes with being a queen - except for Elsa, but she already was one from the start so...)

@@jjb2323 Well, at least when she calls him "junior" it does sort of imply that she at the very least is older than him. And her's... 18? Or coming up on his 18th bday?

I'm a damsel... I'm in distress... I can handle this.. have a nice day I love her character and her sarcasm and how she doesn't let the first boy who saves her be her entire world she a big girl who can tie her own sandals.
Honestly, I think she should be considered a princess. They call Zeus the "King of the gods", right? So Hercules is basically a prince. Meg married Hercules, so she should be counted as a princess.
Not that the movie was mythologically accurate, but originally Megara was the oldest daughter of Creon, the king of Thebes. So a source material argument in favor of her royalty seems pretty airtight.
Being an actual princess is not neccessary for being a Disney Princess™ (see: Mulan and Pocahontas.) Even Esmeralda from Hunchback of Notre-Dame was one of the original Disney Princesses, but was later removed from the lineup for not selling as much as the others - which is the reason Meg isn't an official Disney princess: she doesn't sell enough toys, costumes and school supplies. Same thing applies to Jane (Tarzan) and Kida (Atlantis: The Lost Empire).
@@Lucas-jx8jg So basically all the female disney characters with Brains and Bronze are not considered Princess lol. Meg was anything but the typical disney princess, Jane was highly intelligent and a scholar, Kida was a princess who fought, Esmeralda was a strong female role not a damsel fought, Mulan was a literal solider turned general,Pocohontas though not accurately portrayed was intelligent, adventurous, and confident in herself, basically all the women who are portrayed as strong, confident, intelligent, and beautiful are low sellers. Smh the world sucks
I had, have, will always have crush on her. She is fiesty. The man goes after her. She flirts and is bold. Hades is her friend. She made Hercules into a babbling bumblebee. She tells men off without breaking a sweat. She has no friends.
She's a female version of Eugene from Tangled, realistic, witty, flirtatious, sarcastic, smart and sacrificed himself for his love. He was (is) my crush.
She should be on the Disney princess list 1. She marries a GOD 2. she saves Hercules and gets herself killed 3. She is a good role model 4. She isnt dependent on a guy 5. She isnt a girly girl and can yell at THE GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD Edit: holy crap i just came back to this, thanks for all the likes!! What I meant by “girly girl” was she’s really sarcastic and blunt, she wasn’t depicted as a sing song pretty girl. She was depicted as a strong woman that delt with selling her soul to save the man she thought loved her. That’s heavy stuff. The movie shows us her emotional scars, and even her healing. This is why I love Meg so damn much!! (She was really Feminine not Girly and the times that she was, she was doing it to try and free her soul. So she wasn’t really acting like That freely and on purpose. Just like how Jasmin tries to seduce Jafar for her freedom and his demise.)
I didn't see this movie until I was an adult and recently graduated from college, but I can say with absolute certainty that if I could go on a date with any female Disney character, it would absolutely be Meg.
I fell like Hera would have screamed at the top her lungs because Meg got hurt by the column and not Hercules ( If you don't get it Hera is not his mother and she hates him a lot)
megan d nah she was 16, she was in that phase when you date a guy for a week and he is already the love of your life, and then she discovered she was engaged to someone else ( didn't know it was the same guy) and went into rebel mode(quite underdtandable) using the boy she had just met as the perfect excuse to avoid a marriage she didn't want.
Aurora lived all her life in the secluded woods, away from everyone but those three fairies and one day she meets a very handsome and charming young man her age who looks at her like she is the eighth wonder of the world and later turns out to have slayed a dragon/the most powerfull dark fairy to save her. Can't blame her for swooning honestly. On the other hand Meg sacrificed her soul once to a man who didn't deserve it and learned from that.
We need more girls like Meg. She is the better female out of most (almost all) of the Disney Princesses. She is a great real life example of the pretty girls in school who want nothing to do with guys
"He comes on with his big innocent farm boy routine but I can see through that in a Peloponnesian minute" calm down girl, he actually is a demigod farm boy
There are two thing worth watching in Disney's Hercules: Meg and Hades. The former has more sass than everyone who's ever been at a Roast of Dean Martin (and whose animation makes her very appealing to the eyes) and the latter is absolutely bloody hilarious.
Hercules & Phil doesn't work so much. It's too much 99% business to be a relatable friendship, like Rocky & Mickey (the old boxer) was in similar themes. Asterix & Obelix duo worked better in their retelling of the Twelve Tasks.
Mae Mitchum actually she isnt considered a princess because she's Hercules wife which makes her nothing more then the bride of a god plus this is greek mythology has nothing to do with how much money Hercules earned
One thing is being alone (physically) and other thing is feeling alone (lonely). A person can be physically alone but content and other can be with a lot of people and feel alone /misunderstood
The part where she said "its better to be alone, no one can hurt you".............. words can't describe how much i identify with that line. And it took until NOW & me watching this video, for me to fully appreciate her. Wow.
Rebel Love totally agree. You have to rewatch the movie as an adult to fall in love with meg and to laugh with hades. It’s my favorite disney movie, the one in which I can identify myself. And Meg’s quote is totally true. When you trust someone you also give him/her the power to destroy you. And when that happens is so painful. You learn to be more cautious with people
Meg seems so underrated! I didn't get her sarcasm when I was younger but now that I'm older I understand it now! I especially like when she says Men think that get lost means take me im yours!
"I've done my part, get your little imps" "They couldn't handle him. I need somebody who can... _handle him as a man_ " *_"hey, I've swore off manhandling"_* I love that line so much
And these 22 reasons are the reason why Megara is not included in Wreck It Ralph 2 along with the rest Disney princesses. In that movie they are mocking the feminist aspect of Disney princesses.In the cases of Megara and of course Kiara from Atlantis, Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet and Jane from Tarzan these four women are the strong women of the Disney Universe and it is only normal not to have them included as Vanellope enters a room full of Disney princesses in distress... Megara is the best! I wish they make a scene of her and Jane, Captain Amelia and Kiara were they drink in a pub as an after credits scene with Vanellope joining them secretly to try what beers tastes like...
I thought I heard that too. Did he actually say "Jesus"? Seems like the kind of thing that DIsney would avoid to avoid pissing off both Atheists and Christians.
"Megara, my friends call me Meg at least they would if I had any friends" and "I'm a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle this" Probably 2 of the best Disney lines
Every part she has makes her better than any disney princess tbh better than any disney charecter she is so underated and her song is better than freaking bibity bobity boo or bluddly let it go or any disney song for that matter she deserves to be the #1 disney charecter oh wait in my eyes she already is !!!!❤
Mine too, you I'd really love disney make a life action movie so that people could fall in love with this wonderful film once for all and stop underestimating it.
@Olive yeah, not like the rest of them which make the Grimm Brothers stories the same, or Hamlet, or whatever the story is based. Hercules was a great moovie and its very underrated, it has a great bso, very deep relatable characters, its epic, has a good message, and doesnt bore. Wish modern Disney could do half of that
I was so disappointed at how she was portrayed in Once Upon A Time. They made her a weeping damsel of a child, and only had her for one episode. She could’ve been Regina’s sarcastic soul mate if done more like this. The missed potential was disappointing.
Well, she is a princess (she is the daugther of King Creon) and she's in a film Disney. Don't recognise her for her film "insuccess" is a really sad thing to do.
There's a cartoon out there with B-list Disney princesses. Kuzco says 'Hate her hair', a B-list princess says 'Hey! You're not a princess!', and Kuzco replies 'Close enough, honey.' I think they could work with that.
Megara is so heroic and cool. Such a badass, kind and loving and sassy af. Love her so much. So much respect. One of my favourite cartoon characters ever.
I honestly never gave a damn about Megara, barely even liked her. But this video has a good point. I think i like her now. You have to be an adult to really appreciate her. Alot of what she said... i understand now and agree with.
“I’m really sorry, that was dumb.”

I loved the voice she did
I don’t get it, excuse my dumbness I’m dumb and slow af
2:51- 3:03
Wow she just roasted the entire human population
FoxGirlMinecraft but she’s right
@@ireneheras7616 yeah
;(
LMFAO.
"Petty and dishonest."
Damn, sis hit it right on the head.
I'm a damsel... I'm in distress... I can handle this.. have a nice day I love her character and her sarcasm and how she doesn't let the first boy who saves her be her entire world she a big girl who can tie her own sandals.
Honestly, I think she should be considered a princess. They call Zeus the "King of the gods", right? So Hercules is basically a prince. Meg married Hercules, so she should be counted as a princess.
Not that the movie was mythologically accurate, but originally Megara was the oldest daughter of Creon, the king of Thebes. So a source material argument in favor of her royalty seems pretty airtight.
She also would have to be The MAIN character of her own movie
Being an actual princess is not neccessary for being a Disney Princess™ (see: Mulan and Pocahontas.) Even Esmeralda from Hunchback of Notre-Dame was one of the original Disney Princesses, but was later removed from the lineup for not selling as much as the others - which is the reason Meg isn't an official Disney princess: she doesn't sell enough toys, costumes and school supplies. Same thing applies to Jane (Tarzan) and Kida (Atlantis: The Lost Empire).
@@Lucas-jx8jg So basically all the female disney characters with Brains and Bronze are not considered Princess lol. Meg was anything but the typical disney princess, Jane was highly intelligent and a scholar, Kida was a princess who fought, Esmeralda was a strong female role not a damsel fought, Mulan was a literal solider turned general,Pocohontas though not accurately portrayed was intelligent, adventurous, and confident in herself, basically all the women who are portrayed as strong, confident, intelligent, and beautiful are low sellers. Smh the world sucks
@@pariswebb5252 Mulan is considered a Disney princess. So is Merida from Brave.
Sassy, Witty, beautiful, HUMBLE. She won’t say she’s in love. Meg was one of my favorites.
Me too 😏💜💅🏻✨
What's the best part of her?
*Plays all the scenes she's in*
it's true tho
Exactly.
" I'm a damsel...I'm in distress..I can handle this. Have a nice day😉"
Favourite all time quote
I had, have, will always have crush on her.
She is fiesty.
The man goes after her.
She flirts and is bold.
Hades is her friend.
She made Hercules into a babbling bumblebee.
She tells men off without breaking a sweat.
She has no friends.
I uhm still like her
She's a female version of Eugene from Tangled, realistic, witty, flirtatious, sarcastic, smart and sacrificed himself for his love. He was (is) my crush.
Hades is not her friend she literally detests him
Fun fact: the voice acter of meg is the same voice acter as rose quartz from steven universe
GalaxyCat 799
I thought she sounded familiar thanks!
NO WAY OMG THIS IS AMAZING *mind blown*
....how did I not know that...
GalaxyCat 799 I wonder the sass and sarcasm is there
GalaxyCat 799 i did not know that thats so cool you learn thingz everyday
She should be on the Disney princess list
1. She marries a GOD
2. she saves Hercules and gets herself killed
3. She is a good role model
4. She isnt dependent on a guy
5. She isnt a girly girl and can yell at THE GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD
Edit: holy crap i just came back to this, thanks for all the likes!!
What I meant by “girly girl” was she’s really sarcastic and blunt, she wasn’t depicted as a sing song pretty girl. She was depicted as a strong woman that delt with selling her soul to save the man she thought loved her. That’s heavy stuff. The movie shows us her emotional scars, and even her healing. This is why I love Meg so damn much!!
(She was really Feminine not Girly and the times that she was, she was doing it to try and free her soul. So she wasn’t really acting like That freely and on purpose. Just like how Jasmin tries to seduce Jafar for her freedom and his demise.)
Hallelujah!
perhaps she isn't on the princess list because she's a queen
YahItzRubydoobie Mulan Tiana Meg and Cinderella never needed a guy tho a guy just came to them :v
She actually is realy girly, but that's not a bad thing at all
I’m a girly girl...
My favorite Disney princesses are Belle and Megara
I love megara’s relationship with hades. “BUT HE’S A GUY”
Ha what you what wha waait whay
He's like her manager/gay best friend 😂
@@borealsullivan5486 FR if he didn’t literally own her soul 💀
@@borealsullivan5486 Haha, true. That would be the case if he didn't own her soul!
@@PriyaGarg2003 This is where the "manager" part comes in)
This is why I love her so much. One of the most badass, sarcastic, quotable Disney princesses ever.
Me too tho
Who else low-key had a crush on Meg?
Low-key? Had? ❤️😁
*has
I didn't see this movie until I was an adult and recently graduated from college, but I can say with absolute certainty that if I could go on a date with any female Disney character, it would absolutely be Meg.
Who DOESN'T have at least some kind of attraction to Meg honestly?
Defiantly had 😄
Meanwhile in Greek Mythology
Hera: **sips tea**
Hercules: Hera! Help!
Her: Hotel? Trivago!
She’s the original Karen
I fell like Hera would have screamed at the top her lungs because Meg got hurt by the column and not Hercules
( If you don't get it Hera is not his mother and she hates him a lot)
N O , H E R A D O N ‘ T
"They think no means yes and get lost means take me I'm yours"
she's more lit than hades head
Well technically Hades doesn't have hair made from fire in the original Greek Myths but okay 👍
@@mena1432 it's a joke
I loved Meg but I thought she was rude....then I grew up, had relationships & totally understood 😂🤦♀️
Fun fact: Her voice actress was the first actress to play Belle in the Broadway version of Beauty and the
beast.
SHE HAS A NAME susan egan
@@chickenlover284 I'm sorry.
Which is insane to think about. I couldn’t think of two more different characters, and she absolutely nails both roles
Its true Megara is way better
1:19 why does Hercules look like a total bottom
No way
because Meg is a boss?
because he is
Bc he is, he may be strong but he's still a power bottom
@Blessica M oh shit-
At least she didn’t give the lovely dove eyes when she mets Hercules and sings about it like some Disney princess
Cough sleeping beauty cough
But I liked that about princesses
aurora knows a guy for 5 minutes and already wants to pledge herself to him LMAO
megan d true
megan d nah she was 16, she was in that phase when you date a guy for a week and he is already the love of your life, and then she discovered she was engaged to someone else ( didn't know it was the same guy) and went into rebel mode(quite underdtandable) using the boy she had just met as the perfect excuse to avoid a marriage she didn't want.
Aurora lived all her life in the secluded woods, away from everyone but those three fairies and one day she meets a very handsome and charming young man her age who looks at her like she is the eighth wonder of the world and later turns out to have slayed a dragon/the most powerfull dark fairy to save her. Can't blame her for swooning honestly.
On the other hand Meg sacrificed her soul once to a man who didn't deserve it and learned from that.
We need more girls like Meg.
She is the better female out of most (almost all) of the Disney Princesses.
She is a great real life example of the pretty girls in school who want nothing to do with guys
Yeah
She doesn't follow the stereotype
DeathByHugger SCV Just like Merida from Brave.
*cough *cough* Tiana from princess and the frog *cough *cough*
DeathByHugger SCV just summed up me
"He comes on with his big innocent farm boy routine but I can see through that in a Peloponnesian minute" calm down girl, he actually is a demigod farm boy
"you know how man are... they think no means yes and get lost means take me im yours"ICONIC and sadly true
Depends on the man.
@@sage-br4pq I'm sorry that that's been your experience, but I know you're incorrect.
Sage Dickinson I see someone has had bad experiences with men
Sage Dickinson- You can’t say what you’re assuming as a fact 😂 you sound like a stereotypical feminist
No to be rude but that's sexist, some girls can be like that too.
I've seen the movie in Greek and now it is SO weird hearing it in English
CrAzYmArY SAME😂
Ναι σε όλες τις ταινίες είναι περίεργο !
Παίζει να είναι η μόνη ταινία της Disney που η μεταγλώττιση είναι καλύτερη από την Αγγλική έκδοση...
Seeing this movie in Greek is dedication.
NicoleRed Πραγματικα!!
Can we also take a moment to appreciate Susan Egan who voiced her? Her timing and delivery made Meg so memorable and fun.
There are two thing worth watching in Disney's Hercules: Meg and Hades. The former has more sass than everyone who's ever been at a Roast of Dean Martin (and whose animation makes her very appealing to the eyes) and the latter is absolutely bloody hilarious.
Hercules & Phil doesn't work so much. It's too much 99% business to be a relatable friendship, like Rocky & Mickey (the old boxer) was in similar themes. Asterix & Obelix duo worked better in their retelling of the Twelve Tasks.
Also, I think the soundtrack is amazing as a bonus.
I only watch it because of Megara's sass and when hades losses his marbles
@@lorrainenuku3172 True that 😂👌
I also think this movie has the best song out of all the princesses movies.
She should be a Disney princess she isn't only because Hercules didn't get enough money at the box office
thats sad...
Mae Mitchum she's not a princess because she's QUEEN
No it’s because she’s not a princess
Mae Mitchum actually she isnt considered a princess because she's Hercules wife which makes her nothing more then the bride of a god plus this is greek mythology has nothing to do with how much money Hercules earned
+Mae Mitchum that and she wasn't the "main" star of the movie, so they can't make her one. Their rules are stupid lol.
Honestly she’s one of the best characters in Disney History, I like the SASS
Meg will always be one of my favorite fictional characters, she is just too freaking awesome.
Hercules- this is great
Megara- your really choked up about this huh
Me- you go girl
"I'm a damsel... I'm in distress... I can handle this, have a nice day!" now THAT is iconic. And the reason why she is my favorite disney princess
0:08 Hercules: Are you alright? Meg: *slaps unknown man in the face with her wet hair* nob
“Megara, my friends call me Meg- Atleast they would if i had any friends-“
Meg- teaching young girls how to be sarcastic since 1999
You mean 1997.
"when I'm with you I don't feel alone"
~hercules
*that's how it works genius*
One thing is being alone (physically) and other thing is feeling alone (lonely). A person can be physically alone but content and other can be with a lot of people and feel alone /misunderstood
Haahhahah
"The worst thing isn't being alone. The worst thing is to be with people who make you feel alone."-Robin Williams
"You know how men are. They think no means yes and get lost means take me I'm yours"
Best. Line. Ever.
Girl, as if you know how men are
The part where she said "its better to be alone, no one can hurt you".............. words can't describe how much i identify with that line. And it took until NOW & me watching this video, for me to fully appreciate her. Wow.
Rebel Love totally agree. You have to rewatch the movie as an adult to fall in love with meg and to laugh with hades. It’s my favorite disney movie, the one in which I can identify myself. And Meg’s quote is totally true. When you trust someone you also give him/her the power to destroy you. And when that happens is so painful. You learn to be more cautious with people
Meg seems so underrated! I didn't get her sarcasm when I was younger but now that I'm older I understand it now!
I especially like when she says
Men think that get lost means take me im yours!
She ain't no princess.... SHE A BATTLE PRINCESS WARRIOR!!!!!!!! XDDD
The difference between her and any Disney princess is...
She’s no princess she’s a *queen* of her own kingdom
She's the queen of sass
She's a goddess
"I've done my part, get your little imps"
"They couldn't handle him. I need somebody who can... _handle him as a man_ "
*_"hey, I've swore off manhandling"_*
I love that line so much
The subtleness
And these 22 reasons are the reason why Megara is not included in Wreck It Ralph 2 along with the rest Disney princesses. In that movie they are mocking the feminist aspect of Disney princesses.In the cases of Megara and of course Kiara from Atlantis, Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet and Jane from Tarzan these four women are the strong women of the Disney Universe and it is only normal not to have them included as Vanellope enters a room full of Disney princesses in distress... Megara is the best! I wish they make a scene of her and Jane, Captain Amelia and Kiara were they drink in a pub as an after credits scene with Vanellope joining them secretly to try what beers tastes like...
DIMITRIS MAA CGD same girl! :3
Umm its Kida
What about mulan
But then there's mulan and the girl from brave...?
Kida is from Atlantis, Kiara is a lion.
But! They should include Eilonwy from The Black Cauldron. She was the OG sassy princess.
"Oh Jesus, I'm.. I'm really sorry."
Zeus: uhm HELLO?????
Lmao.
I thought I heard that too. Did he actually say "Jesus"? Seems like the kind of thing that DIsney would avoid to avoid pissing off both Atheists and Christians.
I think it was jeez
I heard that too and I thought that he wasn't even born yet hahaha
he said Jeez, Miss, i’m really sorry
"Megara, my friends call me Meg at least they would if I had any friends" and "I'm a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle this" Probably 2 of the best Disney lines
Every part she has makes her better than any disney princess tbh better than any disney charecter she is so underated and her song is better than freaking bibity bobity boo or bluddly let it go or any disney song for that matter she deserves to be the #1 disney charecter oh wait in my eyes she already is !!!!❤
HERCULES IS THE BEST MOVIE OF DISNEY FOR ME, ABOUT THESE CHARACTERS !!!!!!LOVE DISNEY
Sofi Rojas I love old Disney this Disney
Sofi rojas Pocahontas is better ( but ay thats your opinion )
I am greek and I have never watched it lol😂
Mine too, you I'd really love disney make a life action movie so that people could fall in love with this wonderful film once for all and stop underestimating it.
@Olive yeah, not like the rest of them which make the Grimm Brothers stories the same, or Hamlet, or whatever the story is based. Hercules was a great moovie and its very underrated, it has a great bso, very deep relatable characters, its epic, has a good message, and doesnt bore. Wish modern Disney could do half of that
I was so disappointed at how she was portrayed in Once Upon A Time. They made her a weeping damsel of a child, and only had her for one episode. She could’ve been Regina’s sarcastic soul mate if done more like this. The missed potential was disappointing.
"I've sworn off man handling"😂😂😂
If merida met meg they would either be best friends or absolute enemies 😂
2 badasses...you make a good point. 🤔
Probably opposite best friends.
lets add in anastasia
Meg: im a damsel
Im in distress
I can handle this
Have a nice day
Me: dang girl😂 so independent
“Sorry, I was dumb.”
“....yeah”
Wow she actually said *RAGING HORMONES* oooooooo I love her 1000XD
"sometimes its better to be alone"
"what do you mean"
"nobody can hurt you"
Me:its deep but true
Well, she is a princess (she is the daugther of King Creon) and she's in a film Disney. Don't recognise her for her film "insuccess" is a really sad thing to do.
Do 'X Times Kuzco Was Better Than Any Disney Princess'!
asphodelale he is male..maybe prince.
S Hess or llama
There's a cartoon out there with B-list Disney princesses. Kuzco says 'Hate her hair', a B-list princess says 'Hey! You're not a princess!', and Kuzco replies 'Close enough, honey.'
I think they could work with that.
asphodelale 😂😂😂👍
I remember looking at hercules get nervous and put Meg's sleeve back in it's place and thinking, i want a man as pure as him
Despite his godlike strength, he’s a big softie
"I'm a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle it." Yeah, she's good.
If I only had friends...lol! So true
“Are you always this articulate?” I love that line. Sarcastic but not too biting.
That last clip sounds weird, like it's slowed down by 20% or something. Meg sounds way too bass-y for some reason.
”My friends call me Meg. They would atleast if i has any friends”
Best qoute of the day😂😂😂
Megara is so heroic and cool. Such a badass, kind and loving and sassy af. Love her so much. So much respect. One of my favourite cartoon characters ever.
I honestly never gave a damn about Megara, barely even liked her. But this video has a good point. I think i like her now. You have to be an adult to really appreciate her. Alot of what she said... i understand now and agree with.
