    You forgot to include the Limited series where Zeus sent Hercules into space to teach him humility where he encountered Galactus & was humiliated but got Galactus to laugh so he spared a planet that was under Hercules's protection by his proclamation. But other than that this was a great video because he is my favorite of all the Gods of Mythology.

He’s gone toe to toe with other heavy hitters like Thor, Hulk and Namor and was She Hulk’s boyfriend. Being one of the strongest members of the MU a movie would be great.

      @@Jumpoable That's right,Hercules was bisexual in both the Greek and Roman myths.
      I really like the Marvel version of Hercules but I never quite liked how they made him into kind of a buffoon who isn't the brightest guy you'll ever meet.
      I'm going to be writing my own comics and I've got my own version of Hercules that I'll be doing comic books for(based on the Steve Reeves-version of Hercules,which is in the public domain)and I'm doing what DC did way back in the Nineties when the Roman and Greek Gods were actually two separate and two different entities. So The Greek Heracles(the Steve Reeves-Hercules who will be called ''Heracles''for my version)and The Roman Hercules(a spoof and parody of the Disney Hercules) will be two different and two separate individuals-the former a hero and the latter,a villain. The Roman Hercules will be bisexual but my version of the Greek Heracles will not be.
      That's what I love about using public domain characters,there's absolutely nothing that Marvel,DC and DC can do to stop people from using public domain characters that they have their own versions of!

    Great video. Really shows much love Marvel had for the myth and how they adapted it for each decade. If you know the original culture then you know, well, you know what they couldn't be saying what they were really saying when they weren't saying anything meaningful about Herc's companions. "Funny how Herc had a number of young women lovers and young male 'standard bearers'."
    Yup, they bore something for him, that's true. Marvel did their best to clean up the myth but some things just don't clean all that much.

    I've been a fan of Hercules since I was really young, I used to watch Hercules The Legendary Journeys on channel 5 in the 90's and had a few episodes on video, I loved the Disney film even if it was highly inaccurate and I even watched the original Jason and the Argonauts when I was under 10 purely because it had Hercules in it.
    You can't forget about Young Hercules with Ryan Gosling lol. I only discovered Hercules was in Marvel around about 7 years ago when I was 22 so I've missed out on so many of these stories. The comic run I read was The Incredible Hercules with Amadeus Cho.

    I thoroughly enjoy the Hercules comics I've read. He's a buffoon but always learning perspective and life lessons (despite his considerable experience), and sometimes is very wise or especially heroic.
    There's also some excellent oddball humour in a lot of his comics, with abstract storylines or quirky ideas that wouldn't seem out of place in 2000AD comic or (occasionally) even a Twilight Zone episode (such as when his friend Amadeus Cho is trapped inside a roleplaying game and has to 'quantum theory' his way out).

    Greetings! 🙂 - Thor & Hercules were always my favorites heroes after I discovered that there were MORE than (The Saturday Morning Justice League)😍📺 LOL... But after growing up and researching all these various "Myths & Legends", it made it even MORE interesting to discover that SOME of it, or maybe even a LOT of it was based loosely on ACTUAL HISTORICAL EVENTS, and DID happen on certain dates to specific people!! That AMAZED ME to know that there really once WAS a time of Giants & Monster - and a LOT of them too.. WOW!!
    But in the case of Hercules, we need not attempt to date his "deeds", because Hercules was simply a metaphor for the (Sun). ((Hercules's 12 LABORS)) are simply the (THE THE SUN PASSING THROUGH THE 12 ZODIACS). --- FOR INSTANCE ---- "Cleaning the Aegean Stables" is the easiest too define = (Aquarius - The Waterbearer)!!.... "Capturing the Golden Fleece" is next easiest = (Capricorn), His "LION Shawl" = (LEO).. and so on!! Anyywhoo...🙃 Carry on folks... VERY COOL CHANNEL!!!

    His marriage to Hebe in the actual canon mythology that this take is based upon, is the reason he has two sons and with them is named the defenders of Olympus. Only him, and their two godly sons. No one else being needed. He could have kept Hebe and honored that side of the myth; since Greco-Roman times were known to be more open, and Hebe is the goddess of youth, which could have made her more "youthful" IE elastic in mindset. (They do honor the several relationships and canonical tendency to bi sexuality - though I would still argue he's shown female preference) Other than that point, since keeping her in a stable but also admittedly open marriage would have proved him more capable of being the better man than his blood father (Side note: Amphitryon was also Zues' grandson - the guy got around) I would point out that Godhood is not a bloody yo-yo. It's not something that can be stripped. Taken back. Yes, Thor had proved less worthy, more than once, but he's NEVER stopped being a god as far as I know. It's like Wolverine's healing power: You can "turn it off," but it's still passively active. I did like how they wove into play the various versions of the mythology, by saying he might be lying/talking out of his... you know. I'm less fond of the let's repeat the 12 labors a different way. One interesting point; if Order needs Chaos, and Chaos breeds order so they can recognize their truths by the sight of each other, then the Asian Chaos god never wanted to win. It would be very much like Thanos. Bloody genius with all the cards stacked in deck, who only loses because he subconsciously shoots himself in the foot. Intentionally. Can't help being what it is, and isn't supposed to. However that doesn't mean that even if the god thinks it wants an objective end to everything, it actually does. Just a thought.

I really think that it should be somebody that we really don't know, and of course it wouldn't hurt if they had a similar body build as Herc, but for the love of the Goddess, let it NOT be Arnold Schwarzenegger, and although he's played him in the past, Lou Ferrigno would be a great choice, but he's too old to play the part now.

      Considering how the villain of the movie is confirmed to be Gorr, the god butcher, it's possible that the Olympians are at least mention and there are some rumors that Zeus will show up in the film. Hercules could appear in the post credit scene setting him up for a future Thor movie (or a Eternals sequel). As for the actor I think it should be someone like Hafthór Júlíus Björnsson (The Mountain from Game of Thrones).
