Disney’s Hercules is being remade in live action form soon. That got us thinking about a different take on the ’90s animated favorite. How would Hercules have turned out if Hades raised him in the Underworld? Let’s find out!

Incredible! Thanks so much!
This was an interesting listen thank you
3:24 I never noticed before but….. Where are you looking, Hephaestus? Way to sneak that one in, Disney. Not sure Aphrodite really minds, though.
Making Hera a villain more in keeping with the original myth is a good change.
NOOOOO!!! Not another live action remake!
You're making Hercules the bad guy?!
Try doing a different ending to the MLP finale!
I love the more mythologically accurate version, I also love how you made them more Disney friendly
This is 1000X better than the actual movie, which I also greatly enjoyed. The writing is on par with Hunchback
Interesting. As it's a Disney, the introduction could remain in gospel. I also believe in the possibility of placing a song of the villain (which is missing in the original Disney Hercules). There are two opportunities for this, at the very beginning when he raises/attempts to kill Hercules, I have the song "What am I going to do with you?". We could go over all the kills that don't work, kind of cartoonishly. Where the conclusion would be: "If I can't destroy you physically, I'll do it mentally. Yes! You'll replace me here! Oh, Zeus would hate that! This is awesome! I am awesome!".
Or when your Hades raises an army of the dead. Probably with a dance bit where he imitates Michael Jackson in Thriller.
I love go the distence
Go the distance is underrated damn right
Will keep posting this comment until Doug acknowledge Cartoon saloon.
Not a bad what-if. This one's pretty creative and I might honestly prefer it over the original due to its more personal and complex narrative and having more godly figures involved. Though I'm still hoping out hope for that Batman Beyond fanscription, I just know the wait for it won't be without merits.
If there was ever a character that Disney should give the Maleficent treatment…
pretty rad. also I was thinking at an idea for you to do to explore a video for A Fanscription for the live action Mario movie hypothetically like What If the Jim Henson Company made the Super Mario Bros Movie
What if Max Gibson was in Batman Beyond?
She could potentially dress as Robin and has been Terry McGinnis friend and ally for the half of the series. She even suggested to make her as Robin, and Joker in the movie is Tim Drake’s Robin vs. a potential Robin that could have been.
What If Brainiac, Mr. Mxyzptlk, and Supergirl were in Superman 3
He would grow up with a different name and will try to fight Hades and get out of the Underworld to meet his mother. You get the reference
Ok, I have to say that was AWESOME (no pun intended), I really enjoyed that story and would love to see it on screen. Also the live action will be influenced by Tik-Tok….if ever there was a scary thing said….
Here’s a crazy idea: What if Frollo raised Esmeralda? What if she were the bell ringer instead of Quasimodo?
Eh, not a fan. The year jump feels a little odd here and very reminiscent of your Aladdin story – also leaving the "normal" world in an "apocalyptic" scenario. That time gap seems like such an odd bulk of either great importance that we miss (the TV show idea is interesting, but seems like cheating or a money grab by cutting out cool story) or fluffy nonsense that shouldn't be there in the first place. The morpheus plot dump also seemed really clunky. Hercules suddenly wanting to stop the god war after not getting what he wanted was also… really quick and unearned. Persephone as Hades' daughter? Not for me. Herc's character arc of not looking back also doesn't seem to fit him too well, it feels like a borrowed story. I was kind of hoping more of Hades' intelligence and cunning influencing hercules more; he didn't really seem to change Herc's character at all. Here Hades didn't raise Hercules, he kept him as a slave and otherwise nothing changed other than where Herc's story takes place: about the underworld and his mother. I'm glad to hear that you had more ideas and just not enough time, but in the end this fanscription felt pretty shallow. But even if I didn't like it, doesn't mean it wasn't a lot of hard work and hopefully you had fun! Thanks!
