![]() Believe it or not, Hades was hardly the first Olympian to attempt to overthrow Zeus even Hera tried her hand at that in the myths.Perhaps in the position of being a God, being incredibly unpopular among your fellow deities is enough? That's not going to be the case any more. But Zeus was pretty pally towards Hades before. There was little punishment for Gods when they were jerks in Greek Mythology.So, was Hades actually defeated for good in the ending, or was getting knocked into the giant whirlpool with all the dead souls just a final coup de grace thats meant to be one last humiliation on top of his whole scheme going down the drain rather than something that actually harms him (especially since he's a god)? Would he actually remain stuck down there, unable to die because he's an immortal god but still remain trapped in a limbo of the dead, and if that's the case, who's gonna run the underworld in his absence? And considering all the crap he pulled on the other gods, would they actually try to do something about him if he managed to get out, or would they just have to put up with him on even more sour terms solely because of his duties?.He's still learning the ropes a little bit. And it was only his second heroic battle, keep in mind. Definitely not the smartest move, but in the heat of battle, he would've died otherwise. Once things got out of hand, he was acting pretty much on impulse - a head lunges at him, he cuts it off. Hercules isn't the brightest bulb, and could be forgiven the first couple times for thinking it could only regenerate its heads a certain number of times. Remember that the heads grow back in increasingly higher numbers than they did in the myths.More importantly, why didn't Hercules just attack the body? Sure, chopping off its heads just grew more heads, so maybe striking the body all those heads are connected to would be a pretty sound bet.If the video game's interpretation of the scene is to be taken as "gospel", new heads sprout from the Hydra's backside when its neck space runs out of room.Either the body grows to accommodate the new heads, or some of the new heads sprout from the necks of previous heads.How are all those necks even attached to the body? How does the Hydra's body grow that many heads? By the battle's end the Hydra has already gained dozens of heads, and except for the claw it grabs Hercules with its body is never shown onscreen anymore.
