Hercules
Although the idea of Hercules and his defeat of monsters is a great idea for a children's movie, it was required that Disney changed the story to fit their agenda. Hercules had anger issues that caused him to lash out on the innocent. He killed his wife and three children, his music teacher, and others. This would not have made for a family-friendly Disney Hero. He was so full of rage and had no way of releasing that without inflicting terror on those around him. Similarly, a modern hero that could be just a complex could be Harry Potter. Harry overall is very courageous and able to defeat the main villain, but he would not have that strength without relying on those around him to help him discover his good qualities.

I liked your idea on Hercules, and I had similar views. I enjoyed how you explained another complex hero, giving more understanding and further insight on the idea.
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter is an interesting comparison!
