Disney's Hercules

Disney's Hercules is fine just the way it is. Tone-wise, the film was going for something lighthearted and fun, so keeping the darker aspects from the source material out of it was probably for the best. I welcome generalizing Hercules' 12 trials into his quest to becoming a hero. Showing 12 different trials on screen would have gotten boring. However, if the film wanted to go for a darker tone, a la Hunchback of Notre Dame, keeping the part of Hercules' story where he isn't Hera's child would've given us a much better villain in Hera. Hades is great, but it would be interesting to see how Disney would tackle this kind of relationship.
