Come to me #monsterdon I need you #rootpost

the reviews for hercules (1983) are impeccable

#monsterdon

Mooch, mooch.

Eating dinner before we get started tonight (weirdly early, but lunch didn't happen enough) to see if that improves my experience since I won't be distracted by food prep.

Is there any mythology/religion whose origin doesn't start in darkness?

#Monsterdon

Oh wow, it's like they raided a santa clause shop for those wigs.

#Monsterdon

We aren't even going to get the background about Zeus being a dirty old man and cheating on Hera to father Hercules?!?!

I guess "making a man out of light" is uh, poetic license to the origins of Perseus? Which isn't even the right hero. And ok, I'll try to take off my "I was a giant mythology nerd in middle school" hat now.

@SRLevine lol, please don’t take that hat off! #monsterdon
@everyday_light We'll see how much I remember, we've done a couple of these greek/roman myth movies and my recall for the details isn't great.
