Maybe we should call him JERKules.
Maybe we should call him JERKules
guys I didn't mean to, it just came out.
I think you mean HUNKules
HONEY YOU MEAN SPUNKULES
Is his sperm godly not?
One thing I never got, not even exclusive to Hercules, why do they always make fun of and pick on the superpowered guy, I mean that is just poking a sleeping bear but the bear is awake
He's too much of a coward to do anything about it, plus he's a freak in the sense that he has powers in the first place despite being human to their knowledge.
Because Hercules is a huge fuckup and they know he would never do anything. He has a sense of justice, and knows that he is in the wrong.
Jealousy, and usually some foreknowledge that the person they're fucking with is not inclined to respond aggressively.
I especially never understood it in regards to Hercules, I mean characters that look like monsters and stuff I can sort of get it, but why are they hassling the guy who's whole thing is that he's super strong?
Like that's the thing I never got, he can crush pillars without trying what do you think he's gonna do to you if you get him mad?
I thought it was dumb too but he was clumsy. After a while that overshadows the super strength.
>bullying the guy that could easy crush your skull
that not smart.
Because he's a FUCKING FREAK. It's NOT NATURAL to be that STRONG. They're lucky that traditional himbos are very often KIND, or at least, awkward and socially inept enough to not come after anyone who'd make fun of them.
If they did, they'd be villains. Not heroes. It would be a different story.
That makes it even worse, it’s one thing for a guy who can just choose not to take it out on you, he can’t even do that
Bully's normally pick people who they know won't fight back, Herc is going to murder someone because they called him a name because he's not a monster.
>Bully's normally pick people who they know won't fight back
I know bullies never really think about the consequences of their actions until it's far too late, but does it really never occur to the kids picking on Hercules that if they keep being dicks to him eventually he's going to snap from sheer isolation?
No, because they’re kids. Kids are dumb and never really think about consequences.
>but does it really never occur to the kids picking on Hercules that if they keep being dicks to him eventually he's going to snap from sheer isolation?
Again that's simply not the direction of this story. If it was, this wouldn't be a Disney movie. It would be some weird fucking independent film that needs to be edgy to sell itself to 'mature audiences'.
The kids are allowed to bully Hercules in this story, only because we know he's going to take it in stride, not give into his anger. Like any good person should. Hercules is being sold here as the hero who You should be striving to be. Because he CAN tear them into tiny little pieces, and then burn down the village but he WON'T because that's how a model person should be. With great power comes yadda yadda.
Try as you might to force this scenario into logical, life-like situations, it won't fucking work. Because THIS story is trying to sell you that you'll be the BETTER person for NOT indulging your anger. And surely enough, Herc gets rewarded for his timidness despite outside sources telling him to do otherwise.
Also, you expect (most likely) teenagers in the middle of their puberty to act nicely? When Herc fucks things up for them due to his freakish nature? Hell no.
Kids are the cruelest fucking beings on the planet. And often they don't even realize.
Sometimes it do be like that
If that’s just how kids are, no reason for Hercules not to be cruel to them,
People take advantage of restraint when they can.
But he won't be, because he's just that much better than them.
Hey maybe he has lowkey subconscious oracle abilities, due to being related to GODS. He can't really say why, but he has just this nagging feeling that he shouldn't try and pick a fight that would end up as a curbstomp.
If. If is good.
HUNKULES
This is me but with mlaatr, Jenny’s is like Herc on steroids but her classmates (except Brad and her stalker guy) are legit retards especially since they know not only she saves the town all the time.
It's a bit different for girls. A guy who snaps at his bully and beats the shit out of them is left alone and is generally treated better for it. A girl who snaps at her bullies and beats the shit out of them gets bullied even harder, and her bullies will resort to slandering her name throughout the entire school and outside of school, resulting in total isolation and causing severe mental and emotional damage.
Gotta make him look like the underdog so he can have an arc.
One of Disney's weaker protagonists to be honest. Not literally of course.
It's illegal how good the character designs were in MLaaTR.
it’s not even about how the girl victim responds to the girl bully’s actions, it’s just a matter of why the fuck would you treat Jenny like shit when and you know she can do even more damage than Hercules can and in a fraction of the time? Even with in mind, damn near her entire school are Darwin Award winners
I hope it escaped this dark ages of reboots era and we will get something decent in future.
Making Hercules a pussy really killed the movie
All of the other elements work really well
I remember watching Moana and thinking that Maui really nailed the kind of personality Her should have had.
But the Rock also played a live action Hercules and that also sucked for different reasons so who knows.
>With my superior speed I am sure to win
Honey, you mean HUNKules
God the muses being a gospel choir was fucking inspired
This was mentioned in the show. Zeus was asking why Hercules doesn’t throttle Adonis, Herc said that just wouldn’t be very heroic of him
APHRODITE
Honey, you mean HUNKULES!
