To this day, Hercules is regarded as one of the lesser films of the Disney Renaissance, but to me it was one of their best 😊

Megara (Meg) has always been that girl. I loved how sarcastic and sassy she was. 😎😎😎

Fun fact: the pink goddess that Hades claims has a nice dress is Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love herself! ❤

Fun fact: The monster that Hercules fought in the gorge which could grow new heads when one was cut off was a famous monster and probably the most popular monster Hercules ever faced called the Hydra.

hades said its only halftime in the middle of the movie exactly directors and producers loved that joke so much

james woods as hades is probably the best character casting ever. whats weird is I saw this before I was into Greek mythology and when I saw pegasus with perseus I was like the hell is happening.

Pegasus really disrespected hades when he blew out his hair😂

Meg best Disney princess 😂 she's just a whole damn mood. Iconic, we stan, we worship, we respect 😅

Fun fact: Hera wasn't Heracles's mother, it was actually his adoptive mother in the movie that was his real mother. It's because zeus had alot of affairs. *ALOT.* and so, the worst misconception of this movie is that zeus was a good father. He was definitely not.

“Even statue Zeus is hot” Mythology accurate Zeus: *Goose noises intensify*

Hades is one of the most iconic and relatable villains

Meg's phrase, "I'm a damsel, I'm im distress, I can handle this. Have a nice day." Thats my catch phrase🔥 Meg is my goal. And I can relate with her. I can respect a woman who can be tough🔥

It’s ironic that you mentioned that the people should be using his strength for good use like Luisa. When Luisa sang a part about Hercules about probably not wanting to fight Cerberus.

This will forever be in the top 5 Disney movies for me. The sass, the vocals, everything. I just know imma enjoy you reacting 😂😂

Funt fact: Meg is 10 years older than Hercules. Which is why she told him to "Keep movin' junior" bc she knew he was barely an adult. Hercules is this bright eyed naive 18 year old and Meg is a 28 year old woman that's been around the block and seen some stuff. Especially since around this time of ancient Greece 12-16 is marriagable age.. There ages are a full breakdown of their relationship lol.

"I got 24 hours to get rid of this bozo for the entire scheme has been setting up for 18 years goes up to smoke, AND YOU ARE WEARING HIS MERCHANDISE" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣THAT LINE GOT ME EVERYTIME

Still wondering if/how they could've included Hades's wife Persephone (Queen of the Underworld by marriage and Goddess of Spring by birth) in this - I mean it's spring and summer during most of the movie so she'll be with her mother so they have a reason for not showing her (for those who don't know, some say Persephone married Hades willingly, I get the feeling in this story it would be one of the tellings of the story where she was not willing, but in any case she ate food from the underworld so she's bound there but her mother Demeter the goddess of the harvest gets so miserable whenever she's gone that she stops the everything from growing meaning not only flowers but crops, so to prevent humanity from starving they worked out a compromise that Persephone spends one month of a year with Hades for every pomegranate seed she ate (meaning autumn and winter) and the rest of the year (spring and summer) she spends with her mother, it's how the greeks and romans explained the different seasons). I just keep seeing this interaction with James Woods's voice: Persephone - returns to the underworld Hades: "Persie! Honey! Sweetheart! Babyface, I can't tell ya how glad I am to see ya? What no smooch, come on baby, I'm your husband, got a nice dinner planned and everything!" Persephone looks around the main room of the underworld, sniffs, sighs and says: "Ok, who is she? You've had a mortal in here - a live one. Don't try to kid me, I know life when I sense it. Who is she, what's she doing here, which mistakes did you cash on this time?" Hades: "What? oh Meg? Oh baby baby baby you got it all wrong! Honeypie, you know you're the only one for me? Right?"

It's quite interesting that in Greek history, even though everyone said that Hades was the nicest of the gods, they avoided talking about him, as not to provoke his attention. However, once they started calling him Pluto, the praises were immense. I love how Hades just has the turning-mortal serum on standby. XD Oh! If you want to see Meg as a goddess, read Go The Distance. It's part of the Twisted Tale series, that's basically a 'What If' for a lot of Disney movies. Meg has to train to become a goddess. =)

Welcome to the struggle vocals ministry Rukiya Then you was early on go the distance just super disrespectful. We might have to stop being friends after this video 😂

22:44 little trivia for ya, sistah: in the Icelandic version of the song, just before the girl squad comes in with the chorus, Meg says "And I had said goodbye to men. Those creeps are history, closed deal." It's so much Meg and I love it 😂

Side Note: did you know that Meg was voiced by the same actress as Lin that woman that hung out with Chihiro in Spirited Away

Survival tip kids: never say that anything is more beautiful than Aphrodite! People suffer and/or die because of that!

Interesting fact Hercules name isn't actually pronounced Hercules that's the Roman pronunciation it's actually Heracles. Zeus is both Heracles father and grandfather.

Fun fact! In Greek “I am retired” IS two words, so it’s like a Easter egg joke!

ugh your ✨taste✨ hercules is so excellent and so underrated!!!

I just cannot stop laughing about those Chipmunk-voices 😂😂😂 I know it’s probably for copyright reasons but still effin‘ hilarious

The music in the Hercules movie is phenomenal!

The scene with Hercules wearing Scars fur is pretty neat and created by Andreas Deja who animated both Scar in The Lion King and Hercules in this film. It was a nice nod to one of his previous and most popular characters.

In the actual myth, Hercules was even more badass, where he straight up breaks the snakes frickin necks!

7:03 btw, Heracles didn't just THROW the snakes away, he straight up SNAPPED their necks

Looking lovely as always, Rukiya! NOT THE PEBBLES!!! Ma'am.....place yourself in time-out, please. 🤣😭🙃 Ironically, in actual Greek mythology, Zeus was laying it low and spreading it wide, and having a bunch of "pebbles" all over Greece. Hera stayed trying to kill his mistresses and/or his children with them. The Muses are quite literally the G.O.A.T. when it comes to Disney!!! Those songs are legendary, and no one can tell me any different! 👏👏👏

"It's Disney, every character gets a song." Yeah, every character except one of Disney's GREATEST VILLAINS EVER! How do none of the villains from my top 3 Disney movies have songs?

11:55 in the Greek dub of the film (and plus on the awkward part it’s banned for its inaccurate descriptions of the original myth) the phrase “I am retired” does literally sound like two words.

Meg is literally one the best of few Non-Princess characters.. I also love Jane from Tarzan

I have some fun facts for you : 1. In greek mythology, Hadès is Zeus' brother what makes him Hercules' uncle in the movie. Plus, Héra, Zeus' wife is also his sister. 2. Scar skin is a reference of something Zazu says to Mufasa at the begining of " The Lion King " (he says he sees Scar as a carpet). 3. One of the statues visible during Meg's song, the one of an angel kissing a woman, is a real one called " Psyché revived by Love's kiss " and is exposed at the Louvre museum (except they don’t kiss each other on the real one)

I had the BIGGEST crush on young Hercules as a kid! I just related so much to not feeling like I belonged, and his awkwardness was so freaking adorable!!

8:27 well, in the myth. Heracles was praised in his town, he used to fight off predators from attacking the town, and overall be very useful.

"Oedipus....I mean I thought I had problems!" Problems in regards to Oedipus is a bit of an understatement - though I still feel the urge to say 'that was an accident!'

Ya know Hercules's story in this was sorta similar to Superman's in a way. Also Megara was like another Lois Lane with her strong sassy & fearless personality😏😂

19:32 I'm glad somebody finally made this joke lol

I just wanted you to know that whenever you sung, my 2 month old’s face lit up with smiles 😂 He loves your singing voice ❤️

Herc and Meg's relationship was heavily inspired by Superman and Lois Lane. I'm a Batman fan don't hate me pwease.🥺😅😅😅

Megara is the best thing about this movie oop besides Himbo Herc

2:20 I believe his name, is where we get the word "nacissism." (wikipedia) In Greek mythology Narcissus was a hunter from Thespiae in Boeotia who was known for his beauty. According to Tzetzes, he rejected all romantic advances, eventually falling in love with his own reflection in a pool of water, staring at it for the remainder of his life.

I love how the last song she didnt know the lyrics so she just "eh can pass this one" and doenst even puts in the video And im tottally here for it, bless us with your voice girl

Hades is actually really chill compared to Zeus it's kinda weird that he's the villain here. Like, was Eris not available? Nyx? Moros? Phobos and Deimos? I know Phobos and Deimos are in this movie but they're watered down to little gremlin henchmen. Hell even Zeus would've mad more sense as a villain

22:52 it's time for a Greece Romance song 🧡💞💜

I remember the Disney t.v. show of Hercules. This and Aladdin were great shows on top of movies.

Hades is actually pretty helpful in the myth and Hera is the villain of the myth

11:50 "Two words:✌ I.. am.. retired!" LOL

24:46 Honestly, Phil should have known that Herc wouldn't believe him. First, Phil doesn't have any real evidence to support his claim. And second, Phil has been antagonistic towards Meg almost since the very start anyway. So from Herc's perspective, Phil is just being a dick about Meg as usual, and baselessly accusing Meg for no other reason than to spite her. Let's not forget that the whole reason Phil doesn't like Meg is because she rejected his creepy-ass advances.

My favorite Disney movie!!! HONEY YOU MEAN HUNKULES!!! Lmfao ♥

0:06 for real 😂😂😂

Hermes is SO girly pop in this movie I love it XDD

Fun fact, when hades says “it’s only half time” it’s the actual half way mark of the movie!

What a fun watch and great reaction! I used to practice Meg's song all the time as a kid. 😂

You know, your singing voice isn't actually as bad as you think it is. It sounds raw just because it's untrained. With the timbre in your voice and your sense of musicality, I would actually encourage you to try out singing lessons! Even just for the fun of it. It's of those skills that show noticeable improvement VERY quickly with lessons (which is nice and motivating), and once you learn the technique it doesn't really go away from your skill set (like learning to ride a bicycle). With how much joy you show in singing along, I think you'd really enjoy it. :)

Cerberus, in Greek mythology, the monstrous watchdog of the underworld. He was usually said to have three heads, though the poet Hesiod (flourished 7th century BCE) said he had 50. Heads of snakes grew from his back, and he had a serpent’s tail. He devoured anyone who tried to escape the kingdom of Hades, the lord of the underworld, and he refused entrance to living humans, though the mythic hero Orpheus gained passage by charming him with music. One of the labours of the warrior Heracles was to bring Cerberus up to the land of the living; after succeeding, he returned the creature to Hades.

Who else thinks Meg is sassy and iconic?

This is exactly why this is my favourite disney movie ever and nothing can top it

28:50 This was too funny 😂😂😂

Ok but like this movie is SO ICONIC I LOVE THIS!!

Heracles wears the scar skin for his entire story in his myth

One of my all time favorite Disney movies! I was 8 when it came out and the theater had a whole event out front where they were painting us kids

12:00 Lol, Disney loves a good hoarder character. Funnily enough, as far as the ancient Greek pantheon of gods goes, Hercules and Ariel are actually cousins-once-removed. Hades and Zeus' third brother is Poseidon; God of the seas, storms, and earthquakes. One of Poseidon's kids was Triton; who was designated as god of the deep-sea. So yeah, Hercules' dad and Ariel's grandfather are brothers. Revisiting this with you, was fun! thanks!

I still love this movie. Meg is awesome, Hades is one of my favorite Disney villains, and I still love Hercules.

Not Rukiya wanting to become Hercules' Step-Mom!🤣😂 I accept your petition. You ate that up with the lyrics. And Meg is an icon.

Supposedly "I am retired" in ancient Greek IS two words

The villagers hate Hercules because he can't control his strength and keeps destroying stuff.

Meg is like the queen she slays so much for her bossiness like that girl is so cute and slays a lot!❤❤❤❤❤ Edit: this movie is so hilarious I was dying so hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

1:09 I love this begginings with a old man telling as a story

your channel is criminally underrated

21:23 girl you was ready for Zeus to put his hands on you and receive that Holy Ghost. You understand how they feel

This is one of my FAVORITE Disney movies. I watched it a couple days ago with my nephew. And it's funny how you mention this movie has the same vibes as the Lion King bc they are practically the same lol a male heir is plotted against by his uncle who sends his minions to kill him. The minions fail to do so and are like "we'll tell boss man his nephew is dead. He'll never know." There is a montage sequence of him growing up. He returns. Then minions freak out and the uncle has to try to kill him himself.

Honestly in a live action version Lizzo would slay the short and iconic muse

Best edited reaction video by a HUGE margin!! I loved it!

THE GHETTO 🤣🤣 sent me. Did not expect that

1:45 Definitely! Zeus is like the biggest playboy in any mythology!

I just realized that this specific interpretation of hercules is basically Superman

I’m so glad you decided to watch this RUKIYA bc this is one of my fave movies!

Fun fact: the "fates" in this are actually the grey sisters and they also share one tooth

Meg was literally my gay awakening 💀💀💀

16:10 this is why Meg hates flying 🤣

Hercules is a very sharp contrast to Disney’s previous film The Hunchback of Notre Dame. We go from a story that’s very dark and mature for a Disney film to a story that looks and feels like you’re watching a Saturday morning cartoon like Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry and I love it

28:53 whoa 😮 was my hair blow out or something!? Classic 😂😂😂😂😂

I'm just finding your page and after this I'm both liked and subscribed lol. You're amazing sis!! Plus I'm dressing as Hades for a party next month!!! My boyfriend's gonna be the 3 headed 🐕😂😂😂

I’m the same way with singing along when I put on Pocahontas. My #1 fave movie

Your editing with all those memes and your comments makes the whole thing so much funnier!❤

I love Hades and Meg so much😭

Ive only been subscribed for like an hour but Rukiya is such a sweetie, shes so sweet and kind and funny and pretty

Me singing along 😭 I love this, makes me happy you enjoyed one of my favorite disney classics!

9:27 That little blue shawl thing his adoptive mother gives him, he used it as his cape

I'm so, so glad that I found you!! You're adorable and so comfy and funny to watch. Also thanks for nostalgia ;)

10:24 Rukiya no ma’am 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

12:02 fun fact, Hercules and Ariel are cousins . Ariel’s grandfather would be Poseidon, who is Zues’s brother

Omg, best reactor on YT that I've ever seen. Subscribed with that first singing bit, and honestly, you're fecken awesome 👌 ....make some pebbles, wtf? Fecken hilarious. Living for you, gurl!

Movie recommendations "The hunchback of notre dame" or a dark,crazy and disturbing movie "cruel intentions"

Your literally soooo pretty! Love you reactions!

GIRL!! The awaken of statue of zeus! “Wanna make some pebbles with me” is killin me!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 10:21

19:53 this is one of the funniest scene! 🤣🤣🤣😂
