Everybody Hates Hades	comment	Death and the afterlife are scary. We fear death because we simply do not know what will happen to us once it inevitably comes a knockin'. So, by default, anything associated with death can't be good, right? And since Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work, a god who brings death must be an evil one, right? Well, not always. Many religions throughout history have produced deities who rule over and/or represent some aspect of death (or destruction) and are not portrayed as being malicious. They're not evil, they're just doing their job. Those dead souls won't collect themselves. Of course, that doesn't stop some modern writers from looking upon these otherwise benign beings and seeing nothing but an easy villain for their mythology-based opus. After all, who cares about accuracy? Viewers Are Morons after all, and most people see death as something to loathe and fear anyway, so half the work is already done! And then there is the whole Satan analogue; cultural myopia leads some in Christian-dominated America to expect that Hades is just the Greek version of the devil, when actually he's more of a cross between Saint Peter and God. It's also quite possible that they simply didn't know better. Or were limited by time constraints and had to do something with what they had on the fly. To put it simply, this trope is invoked whenever an author takes an otherwise benign or at least neutral death-related deity and makes them evil for whatever reason. A Sub-Trope of Sadly Mythtaken and Demonization, and a form of Adaptational Villainy. Compare with Satanic Archetype and Hijacked by Jesus, when the similarities with Christianity are painfully obvious. Contrast with Don't Fear the Reaper and Everybody Loves Zeus. See Historical Villain Upgrade for when this is applied to historical rather than mythological figures. See also The Theme Park Version and occasionally Mythology Upgrade. Named after the Greek God of the Underworld, Hades, who is often a victim of this in modern times. Has nothing to do with the public reception of a certain action roguelike made by Supergiant Games.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_15c6ea11	comment	Wonder Woman (1942): "King Pluto" was a villain in his first (1946) story, using kidnapped women to decorate his castle in the Underworld. He was manipulated by the Anti-Monitor during Crisis on Infinite Earths, but later reneged on their alliance at his wife's request. Post-Crisis generally stuck with the mythological portrayal of him as Dark Is Not Evil. (Like many gods, he also modernized, looking like a Victorian undertaker.)

Everybody Hates Hades / int_15c6ea92	comment	Wonder Woman (1987): The George PÃ©rez portrayal of Hades was a fairly benevolent (if rarely seen) Good Shepherd, but the aforementioned "Victorian undertaker" portrayal came from the (first) Greg Rucka run, and was at best a standard-issue Jerkass and at worst a full-blown God of Evil. Though, in something of a twist, he's not looking to usurp Zeus because Athena had already done that. Instead, he conspires with Poseidon to help Zeus get his throne back. It's pretty telling that when he gets killed and usurped by Ares (not quite Diana's Arch-Enemy at this point, but mostly on account of self-restraint), most of the cast considers it an improvement.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_182319fd	comment	In Kid Icarus: Uprising, Hades makes his debut as the true leader of the Underworld Army. Thanatos, the actual god of Death, shows up as well, but Hades manages to both outrank and out-evil Thanatos. His only motivation for anything he does in the game is to cause death and destruction to expand his realm. His role as the Lord of the Underworld is that he's supposed to guide the souls of the dead on to peaceful rest and eventual reincarnation, but he's perverted that role by intentionally instigating wars to increase the influx of souls and using those souls as resources to create the monsters for his army or just as a decent snack. The only times he does anything beneficial are when the gods team up to fight an Alien Invasion, and he makes it clear it's only because he won't let anyone else destroy the planet before him and he still can't help but drop a few enemies and traps on Pit for shits and giggles. The game is a bit of a tangled web regarding who hates who, but, true to the trope, everyone hates him... except the player maybe. But this is by far (maybe) the most evil version of Hades created.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_1e7ca85f	comment	Hercules casts Hades as the villain, probably the most well-known example of this trope. This portrayal, in addition to some of the other liberties taken with the myth, meant that the movie had to be marketed as Beyond the Myth of Heracles in Greece to avoid a national backlash, which... didn't exactly work. However, due to how funny and genuinely likeable Disney Hades is, you probably won't find any viewers (other than Greek Mythology buffs, of course) who hate Hades, except for being That One Boss in Kingdom Hearts.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_1f140feb	comment	The Silmarillion: Played around with with Mandos. While he's completely in line with the will of Eru IlÃºvatar (like the rest of the Valar), he tends to be a little harsh regarding the interpretation. Of course, he has good reason to be so serious: the consequences of him screwing up would be truly dire. Most of the good guys, though, don't hate Mandos. It would be more accurate to say that everyone is scared of Mandos: as well they should be. Mandos is a fairly standard "grim, gloomy, fatalistic, but not that bad of a sort" death god, and is portrayed as being strict but not malicious, and he can be moved to show mercy. Morgoth, Middle-Earth's actual God of Evil, is also associated with death, but he's more accurately the god of the fear of death (among other things), rather than death itself. Indeed, natural death is called the "Gift of Men" and is supposed to be a blessing—as the Elves would tell you immortality isn't all it's cracked up to be. The most effective way Morgoth- and later, Sauron- has of getting humans into trouble is to inspire them to aspire to actual immortality. It's always going to end badly. Death isn't even really his thing per se (though he does live where souls wind up when they die). His actual "hat" is to speak prophesy; it's implied that unlike most of the Ainur, he was paying attention during the Music, so he knows all things that have happened or are going to happen, though he keeps his mouth shut about the future unless ManwÃ« asks him. And of course those he does give harsh dooms to certainly seem to deserve it. The other thing Mandos does, is help people repent of the crimes they committed in life or deal with the trauma they suffered. In this guise, it becomes clear that Mandos is actually one of the more loving Valar. He is stern, but much like a good therapist might be: he just isn't going to accept any BS excuses. Mandos knows all the consequences of every action a person took: good and bad. Good actions can have bad outcomes and bad actions can have good outcomes. Mandos can see all of that, even though most people can't.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_1fc7499e	comment	Reaper Man (which sums up the attitude of the series in general with the quote "What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the reaper man?") gives us our old familiar buddy Death, and the new non-anthropomorphic Death that the Auditors prefer. The new Death plays the trope absolutely straight. Interestingly, the New Death is pretty tightly allegorized with an early model of a combine harvester, giving the novel a fairly unusual Luddite feel, especially with shopping malls being anthropomorphized as literal parasites in the novel's parallel plot. Unusual for the Discworld, where progress towards a modern-looking world is generally taken as a neutral fact of life, with both benefits and drawbacks.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_2e79ce7a	comment	While Queen Odette, ruler of the Underworld in Odin Sphere isn't directly based on a real mythological figure, she's still treated as the Designated Villain, though not without reason. Despite her sadistic tendencies, such as torturing the Pooka who enter her realm without pause and not caring for the state of her subjects regardless of their sins in life, she still makes it clear that everyone needs to stop traipsing in and out of her domain and stealing her magic crystals to make Psyphers, which pervert the natural order of life, and to try and bring people back to life. If everyone would just stay out of the Underworld, they'd never even have to deal with her, unless your name is Oswald, thanks to a Deal with the Devil he didn't even have a say in. In fact, when she's finally Killed Off for Real, it allows King Gallon, who she's kept locked up this whole time for being too big a threat, to take over the Underworld in her place and try to kill living being in Erion in one of the biggest Nice Job Breaking It, Hero moments of the game. Then again, she's partially to blame for making him an immortal regenerating corpse that can only be killed by her power to begin with.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_34542bbc	comment	The main antagonist of Once on This Island is Papa Ge, a Vodou Loa associated with death whom the actual lore seems to portray as a pretty decent guy (at least as far as The Other Wiki can be trusted on the subject). Even in the play's storyline, this trope is played with- Papa Ge is implied to just do his job and isn't entirely evil. He even hangs out with the three other gods like good friends. "And Papa Ge was gentle, as he carried her to shore..." Especially when you consider that the main plot boils down to a bet over whether love or death is more powerful, and Papa Ge doesn't really do anything besides offer the main character the option of choosing death. Add to that the fact that it's somewhat implied in some productions that Erzulie, the goddess of love, more or less used her powers to make Timone (the main character) fall in love with somebody unsuitable (an affair that can only logically end in pain for somebody), plus the other gods' general manipulation (which boils down to "it's fun to play with humans") and you get a case of all four being Jerkass Gods at worst and operating under Blue-and-Orange Morality at best.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_35e05f2a	comment	RWBY: In the fable "The Two Brothers," this was the problem the God of Darkness had. As the god of darkness, death, and destruction, humans were terrified of him, and he didn't help matters by creating the Grimm. But death and destruction are necessary for life, and all he really wanted was to be loved like his brother was. When Salem came to him and begged him to resurrect Ozma, he did so, happy to finally be able to give someone something they actually wanted. When he realized he had been tricked (Salem had gone to the God of Light first and been denied), he destroyed Ozma again, and worked with the God of Light to give Salem Complete Immortality as punishment. Notably, of the four divine Relics the gods created, his power resides not only in the Sword of Destruction but also the Crown of Choice. The power of choice is a very strong recurring element throughout the series, and this was the Relic that Ozma himself decided to watch over personally.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_3b88d68c	comment	The Divine Comedy: Dis, a Roman name of Hades, is used as a name for Satan, and the city of Lower Hell, with Hell taking imagery from Classical Underworld (though the Elysian Fields section still exists as the First Circle, where the virtuous Pagans aren't punished). King Minos, the Classical Judge of the Underworld, is shown as a monstrous Judge of the Damned, with a serpentine tail he wraps around himself. At the Fourth Circle of Hell, for Avarice, the God of Wealth Plutus appears, chanting out an apparent prayer to Satan. He may represent Pluto though. In the 1911 film he is referred to as Pluto and shown as a black devil with horns.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: Discussed in Skin Game when Harry Dresden comes face to face with the man(/god) himself. Dresden is terrified that he's about to be annihilated since he is, in strict terms, burgling Hades, but Hades makes the deliberate decision to invite him into his sanctum for a chat. They have a brief discussion about Hades's role in modern culture, and shift to noting that they're not so different, as Hades himself is a Consummate Professional and a decent guy, Cerberus turns out to be a Big Friendly Dog (not unlike Harry's own oversized pooch Mouse but with more heads). Persephone even willingly eloped with him rather than being kidnapped (Hades blames empty-nest syndrome on Demeter's part for the myth, with Hecate intentionally leading her on a wild goose chase to give the newlyweds a proper honeymoon). Harry notes that, Persephone notwithstanding, Hades was a guy who simply did the job he ended up with and that (unlike Zeus and Poseidon) there are no myths about Hades being unfaithful to his wife or messing with mortals just for the hell of it, although Hades does warn him not to badmouth the other gods too much, as they are family, after all. Oh, and he's in on Queen Mab's plot to ruin Nicodemus.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_42e71a9c	comment	Everybody Loves Large Chests: All the gods are a bit strange to modern views, but make more sense through a classical lens. The god of death is simply in charge of people who have died (and wealth) and has no interest in killing anyone. The god of craftsmen is also the god of art. The god of war is in charge of making sure that no one commits war crimes. It is notable that most of the wars we hear about are caused by the goddess of justice, not war. Even the god of chaos, while cursed with an effect that makes his appearance and even name random and ever-shifting, is really just a rather bored god of change.

Another subversion with Anubis. In contrast to both many times this trope has been invoked with him and Supernatural making almost every supernatural being evil (including most gods, even if they weren't in their original mythology), Anubis here is closer to Egyptian mythology, as he simply weighs a person's heart to decide whether they go to Heaven or Hell.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: In Mort when Death is testing out the pleasures of being human, he allows himself to get drunk at which point he starts drunkenly moping about how everyone hates him and he has no friends. Death is portrayed as being incredibly lonely. Even in the first two books (The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic), Death never really manages to seem outright evil. He's considerably less of a sympathetic character than he is in the later books, though. Discworld's Death in general is a pretty nice guy, likes humanity, and is usually on the hero's side or one of the main heroes himself.note He also seems fond of cats; his discovery of a sack of drowned kittens was one of the few times he's been shown to be actually angry. He even convinced the other Horsemen to ride out for humanity instead of against it once. Reaper Man (which sums up the attitude of the series in general with the quote "What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the reaper man?") gives us our old familiar buddy Death, and the new non-anthropomorphic Death that the Auditors prefer. The new Death plays the trope absolutely straight. Interestingly, the New Death is pretty tightly allegorized with an early model of a combine harvester, giving the novel a fairly unusual Luddite feel, especially with shopping malls being anthropomorphized as literal parasites in the novel's parallel plot. Unusual for the Discworld, where progress towards a modern-looking world is generally taken as a neutral fact of life, with both benefits and drawbacks.

Ares, being manipulated by Luke, being manipulated by Kronos. He does, however, diverge slightly from the book by expressing interest in the master bolt and bargaining Percy's mother to get it.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_5022a2c4	comment	Xena: Warrior Princess, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and Young Hercules: Xena and later Young Hercules give this treatment not to Hades, as might be expected, but to Dionysus. In Classical mythology he's the god of wine, intoxication and excess (and a bit of a douche with a chip on his shoulder, like all Greek Gods) but in the TV series he's clearly a devil (red skin, horns and everything) whose worshippers are clearly vampires. As for the man himself, Hades was treated quite well, despite the franchise's reputation for playing fast and loose with mythology. On occasion, he expresses annoyance with this trope, noting he is derided as dark and evil simply because of his domain and dressing in black. Though snarky and sometimes complaining about his job, Hades works hard to keep the Underworld running smoothly (whereas the other gods can be lazy or outright vindictive). He often helped the heroes and was quite reasonable. Even his relationship with Persephone is portrayed sympathetically; in this version, they were very much in love from the start, and he only abducted her because Demeter forbid their relationship. Hades does undergo a Faceâ€“Heel Turn during the Twilight of the Gods arc, but he's still acting like his usual self; he's just concerned about his own survival, and it's not like most of the other gods aren't doing the same.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_5846165c	comment	Kid Icarus: Kid Icarus (1986) has Pluton, an invincible and incredibly annoying ogre thief, whose name is the original Greek spelling for Pluto (PloutÅ�n). The Grim Reaper (shortened to Reaper) and the God of Revenge are also enemies. The first may come from Pluto's other portfolio, being the god of wealth. In Kid Icarus: Uprising, Hades makes his debut as the true leader of the Underworld Army. Thanatos, the actual god of Death, shows up as well, but Hades manages to both outrank and out-evil Thanatos. His only motivation for anything he does in the game is to cause death and destruction to expand his realm. His role as the Lord of the Underworld is that he's supposed to guide the souls of the dead on to peaceful rest and eventual reincarnation, but he's perverted that role by intentionally instigating wars to increase the influx of souls and using those souls as resources to create the monsters for his army or just as a decent snack. The only times he does anything beneficial are when the gods team up to fight an Alien Invasion, and he makes it clear it's only because he won't let anyone else destroy the planet before him and he still can't help but drop a few enemies and traps on Pit for shits and giggles. The game is a bit of a tangled web regarding who hates who, but, true to the trope, everyone hates him... except the player maybe. But this is by far (maybe) the most evil version of Hades created.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_5a4bc621	comment	Averted in Fate/Grand Order in the fifth Lostbelt storyline, which deals an alternate timeline where the Olympians defeated the threat that destroyed them in Proper Human History. Afterwards, the Gods had a civil war determining whether or not they should continue their rule or allow humanity to rule themselves, with Hades leading the faction that favored the latter (and ending up dead for it). Sumerian death goddess Ereshkigal is portrayed in Grand Order as The Woobie; her first few appearances in the Babylon chapter are asking the protagonist to tell her stories and promise to be her friend, and the third Christmas event is about her becoming burnt-out and depressed by her role as the queen of the underworld and the hatred she gets from the living. It's because of her negative reputation that her in-universe alignment is Chaotic Evil despite being the complete opposite of that. The original Hassan-i-Sabbah, Grand Assassin, also goes by Azrael, the name of an Abrahamic angel of death, and while a bit too eager to execute others, he is overwhelmingly on the protagonist's side.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: This version of Hades is referred to by his Roman name of Pluto. Pluto has earned the enmity of both The Incredible Hercules and The Mighty Thor, and has been shown as trying to overthrow Zeus and seize control of the Greek pantheon for himself. This is also the case of Hela, the Norse goddess of the dead (well, the dead who didn't die in heroic battle, anyway). Sometimes it is justified, as she on occasions took the role of a villain and tried to take over Valhalla, but it still doesn't justify the hatred she gets when she only tries to care for the souls under her charge. Other Marvel characters subvert this. The Marvel universe contains the embodiment of Death, who is often depicted as True Neutral — she takes all life, good or bad (as she told Danielle Moonstar the Valkyrie, who said "you cause pain!" — "and end it."), though has ordered the deaths of billions just to take back the balance. There are also other "reapers" in the MU that aren't really evil, like Doorman from the Great Lakes Avengers. Also, in The Thanos Imperative, we see a dimension without Death (somehow, someone managed to kill her), and it's not pretty. Black Panther's enemy Man-Ape is affiliated with Ghekre, which is in-universe an evil gorilla god associated with cannibalism and savagery. In the West African Mythology he is derived from, however, Ghekre is actually basically just a gorilla version of Anubis, judging souls in the afterlife. Hardly evil. Unfortunately, this meant he was replaced by Hanuman (a Hindu demi-god) in the movie.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder: Averted with the core deity, Pharasma. She's pretty reasonable overall, gets along with nearly all the other gods, her church has a reputation for being good mediators and avoiding conflict, and even though she's The Grim Reaper, she has no problem with you being resurrected (it wasn't really your time yet). Just don't be undead. Ever. Deities of undeath, on the other hand, such as Urgathoa, tend to play this straight. Zyphus, the Grim Harvestman and a lesser member of the core deities, plays with this trope. He's the god of accidental death and tragedy (read: Dropped a Bridge on Him) and vehemently opposes the idea of a there being such a thing as an appropriate death. That being said, he's Neutral Evil, has been in a Rage Against the Heavens mode for as long as he's been a deity, and happily works with the Four Horsemen. The Tian Xia god of death, Yaezhing, is a zig-zagging case of this: he's the Tian-Shu deity of murder, death, and punishment which exceeds the crime; he is patron of ninja and assassins; and despite being Lawful Evil is more of the Noble Demon type (he's a Punch-Clock Villain and enforcer of justice among the gods). Charon, the ferryman of the dead from Classical Mythology, is reimagined as an archdaemon and the eldest most powerful of the Four Horsemen — in other words, as the most evil and omnicidal member of a race defined by being utterly evil and devoted to the end goal of killing everything in the universe, then killing each other in a frenzy of hatred when that's done, and the last daemon standing then killing itself out of self-hatred, leaving behind an eternally dead and empty universe. A big step up in villainy for a Psychopomp whose mythical depiction had him doing little beyond ferrying the dead from one side of the river Styx to the other. The Grim Reaper is reimagined as a powerful undead creature which is sometimes mistaken as a Psychopomp but in truth is a monster that hunts down living creatures relentlessly. It's a manifestation of the malevolent will of Abaddon, the plane where Neutral Evil creatures go after death.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_6952ee85	comment	This trope is prevalent in-universe in AdventureQuest. Among the gods of the Lorian pantheon is The'Galin, god of uncreation. He can remove people or concepts from coming into existence, and he is known as "The Devourer" among those who fear his coming. The'Galin disdains that nickname and the malicious interpretation people have of him, since he uses uncreation to keep order, and even then, he only resorts to it if he has no other options.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_6a7e6314	comment	Thor: Ragnarok: Hela, the Asgard Goddess of Death and Odin's first child, is the movie's villain. She was key in Asgard's rise to glory, leading a brutal conquest of the Nine Realms which vastly enriched their kingdom. When Odin decided to reform the kingdom as benevolent rulers, Hela refused and tried to seize the throne resulting in many Asgardian deaths. Once freed from her prison, she intends to claim the throne and return Asgard to its, in her opinion, true glory. Hela does have moments that soften the negative portrayal. She's genuinely shocked Odin erased her name from history and remorseful on seeing what has become of her favored mount, Fenris.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: The 3rd edition splatbook Deities & Demigods lists Hades as Neutral Evil largely so they could give him levels in the assassin Prestige Class. The book specifically notes that he isn't actively hostile or vicious, and that he mostly just is; everyone dies eventually, and someone has to run the afterlife. However, a clarification from the writers later on is that Hades is listed as Neutral Evil because of the oldest class-based artifact in D&D's history: Hades has the class Assassin, which requires the person with it to be evil, if the DM removes a deity's class stats (which they should), Hades would be be somewhere between Lawful Neutral and True Neutral. Also Hecate, even if she's described as protrectress of children and provider of food and riches, gets a similar treatment being classified as Neutral Evil and considered both capricious, fickle, and similar to the Planescape version noted below despite her being in the original mythos rather different. Anubis on the other hand was listed as Lawful Neutral. Hel, of course, gets the "evil" treatment (and one that affects her personality more, likely due to her being half rotting corpse), despite being by far the least antagonistic of Loki's children in the original myths. Ironically, Loki has a strange case of this: in the section on Norse deities, the book tells the DM that if the setting is before the slaying of Baldr, Loki, despite being Chaotic Evil, would not be actively evil. Notably, the book also adds the idea of the Repose domain, which seems designed as an attempt at averting this: it's meant to represent gods of death that aren't cackling foes of all life, and whose clerics are more likely to simply mind the graveyards and conduct funeral rites. Gods which play this trope straight usually get the Death domain, which is the one with all the overt necromancy, spreading fear, and instant-killing, whereas gods who view death as more of a passing thing (i.e. Anubis and Osiris) get the Repose domain. Averted back in second edition Planescape, where Hades' realm, also called Hades, is certainly not in a nice place, but Hades himself is depicted pretty much as a cynical version of his Greek Myth self. Hades is Lawful Neutral. Hecate, however, abandons her mythologic role as a complex goddess and falls more in line with Shakespeare's vision of her in The Scottish Play. Nearly every deity of death and/or the underworlds in that book is Lawful Neutral or Neutral Evil (mostly the latter). The big exception is Osiris, who's listed as Lawful Good. In various other books, the deity of death tends to be Lawful Neutral instead, and there tends to be a different underworld for each alignment. From the Greyhawk pantheon, the death god Nerull is sometimes called the Hater of Life and the Foe of All Good, and his clergy are all serial killers. The hatred is heartfelt and mutual. Averted with Greyhawk's other major death diety, Wee Jas. She's a Lawful Neutral goddess of magic as well as death who's not terribly nice or popular but is respected. On top of this we have the Demon Lord Orcus and the Archdevil Dispater, Roman deities often conflated with Hades. Sadly, played very straight in 5th edition, where the lack of a Death domain in the Player's Handbook (it's instead found in the Dungeon Master's Guide, as a class option for villain NPCs) is explicitly handwaved with the "fact" that most Death gods are evil and so most Clerics with the Death domain will be villains. It does mention that it's possible for Death Clerics who aren't evil, specifically citing Anubisnote here portrayed as the Lawful Neutral God of the Underworld and Nephthysnote here portrayed as the Chaotic Good Goddess of Mourning of the Egyptian pantheon, who contrast Set,note here portrayed as a very stereotypical Chaotic Evil God of Murder as reasons why, but it's only mentioned in passing. However the Grave Cleric option added in the Xanathar's Guide to Everything averts this. While Death Clerics focus on death as an ender of life and specialise in necrotic-type offensive spells and dealing huge damage, Grave Clerics focus on gods that are the guardians of the dead; to a Grave Cleric, death is just another part of how the world works on a fundamental level, and resisting death or desecrating the dead is an abomination. Grave Clerics' abilities focus is on destroying undead creatures, easing the passing of the dying, and staving off death. Varies somewhat in the Forgotten Realms setting, where there have been a total of four gods of death over the years. Jergal was uncaring and unsettling, Myrkul was cruel and capricious, and Cyric was outright Ax-Crazy. The incumbent Kelemvor, however, is Lawful Neutral and directs his clergy to comfort the bereaved and slay undead rather than propagate them (which is sometimes difficult when your temple is a repurposed one to Myrkul or Cyric, due to Kelemvor only having been on the job for two years as of 3rd Edition). The trope still applies to Kelemvor, however, as he was Lawful Good in Second Edition, and other deities (including good deities) forced him to adopt a Lawful Neutral alignment because the authors didn't like the idea of a good Death deity. In universe this was due to him overly favouring the souls of good mortals, causing various cosmological issues. Jergal in particular actually Inverts the trope twice over: He was originally a Neutral Evil god of strife, death, and the dead, but he eventually grew bored with this position and became the Lawful Neutral god of morticians and undertakers instead. When it comes to the racial pantheons from the same setting (gods of the elves, the dwarves etc) most death gods are actually variations on Good or Neutral with only the orc death god Yuurtrus being evil (which means very little, as all orc gods are evil). There's also the Mulhondri pantheon that is explicitly the Ancient Egyptian pantheon branching out to the Realms, with Osiris who is Lawful Good as above. In the first edition Deities & Demigods, Hades is in a class by himself when it comes to what's called divine horror. He out-horrors every other deity in the book (including truly revolting non-human gods such as the troglodytes' Laogzed and Vaprak of the ogres; even Lovecraftian deities like Cthulhu and Hastur don't inspire as much horror) with a charisma of â€“9.note Granted, this applies only when he transforms into "a hideous humanoid with fangs and flame for eyes!", but still.... It's the lowest score of any deity in the book.

Subverted as Walt said he was meant to be Satan anyway, just like he was demonized after the spread of Christianity. Though we don't really know enough about Chernobog to say whether he was or wasn't evil, it's certain he wasn't a giant Satanic figure who called up the spirits of the damned. Then again, Disney pulled the name Chernabog right out of their ass because the Satan figure in the film would have caused much controversy at the time. Disney may have gotten the idea from Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, in which the "witch Ulrica" calls upon "Zernebock" to give the villains their comeuppance (she isn't very nice either).

His evilness is up for debate. Sure, he was a bit of a dick but he did put one of the worst psychopaths ever on a permanent lockdown and, well... Ares and his son deserved it. Ares himself gets a case of this, just substitute "death" with "war". Back in ancient times, war was a necessity and was not really considered as "evil". Though accurate to the myths, as most Greeks (Spartans aside) had much nicer things to say about Hades than Ares, whom they considered at best terrifying.

In the retelling of the story of Hades and Persephone, not only does Hades not kidnap Persephone at all, but he is portrayed as a perfectly nice guy, if socially awkward. Hades is completely innocent of any scheme to keep Persephone in the underworld forever and actually warns her that if she eats anything, she won't be allowed to leave. Instead, it's one of his minions who tricks her into staying, and when Hades finds out, he actually defies the law of the underworld to get Persephone back to her mother. When you add in the fact that other episodes do not shy away from showcasing the Jerkass tendencies of the other gods in the pantheon, Hades actually ends up as the nicest and most honorable deity in the whole series.

He is otherwise a kindly bespectacled old man — who can transform into a bony horror with wings. And it should be admitted that he sometimes does seem to enjoy his job too much...

The two of them are, as a whole, very nice guys despite their association with dying, which has earned them a number of fans. Icthlarin was even popular enough that in a quest where you choose to side with a god (or the Godless faction), people overwhelmingly chose him despite being a demigod in a room full of much stronger, full-fledged gods. Death, while not as popular, still has a significant fanbase because of his humor, personality, and close friendship with Icthlarin. In-universe, neither of them are seen as bad, with Icthlarin's guiding souls to the underworld being universally seen as a positive thing and him being seen as the good god of the desert, and Death's role being important enough for the gods (who are, to say the least, not on good terms) to work together to prevent anything from happening to him.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_89465e75	comment	Percy Jackson and the Olympians: In The Lightning Thief, Hades is the prime suspect of the theft of the master bolt in order to overthrow the gods. It turns out to be a subversion. It's not him; he thinks it was Percy and only wants the bolt so he can return it, along with reclaiming his stolen helmet. The real thief? Ares, being manipulated by Luke, being manipulated by Kronos. Humorously, this version of Hades mentions on his profile page on the official Percy Jackson site that Disney's Hercules is one of his favorite films. He even claims to like being portrayed as the bad guy for the movie; his only gripe was the blue flaming hair. (It's possible he's being sarcastic.) Percy even starts to feel a little bad for him as he sees him as the Olympian Black Sheep due to his job as lord of the dead, pointing out their treatment of him would make anyone bitter. In a way, the book even has a hilarious Take That! to this trope: everybody assumes Hades would want a war to kill many people and get more subjects in his realm. When Percy actually confronts him, Hades is infuriated that people think he would want more subjects, seeing how he already has his hands full with the incredibly large numbers of death occurring every day. In "The Last Olympian" Hades plays a slightly more antagonistic role, imprisoning Percy in the Underworld. Hades also refuses to help his family, though it is revealed Zeus killed Hades' mortal lover when trying to kill their children, making Hades' resentment at his family more understandable. Hades finally comes to help battle Kronos' army towards the end, and is given recognition by the other Gods. The subversion continues in the sequel series (The Heroes of Olympus and The Trials of Apollo.) When Hazel, the daughter of Hades's Roman aspect, Pluto, is introduced, nobody dislikes her at all for her parentage and are surprisingly chill. After all, Hades is the god of mineral wealth - and his Roman name, Pluto, is actually derived from the word "Wealth". The only thing about Hazel that others are careful about are the gems she summons being cursed. The Trials of Apollo: Apollo states that Hades often liked to sneak up on people and scare them while wearing his invisible cap.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_8d84363c	comment	Rome: An enraged Lucius Vorenus shouts, "I am a son of Hades!" The line works on modern audiences because it sounds like he's calling himself the son of Satan, i.e. a horrible, monstrous person. However, the line also works from a Roman perspective, since Hades/Pluto/Dis is a rather grim god, and screaming that you're his son would make you sound like a lunatic with a death wish. Though Pluto/Hades wasn't an evil deity per se, still invoking his name was an extreme taboo, only done when swearing an unbreakable oath. Vorenus declares himself utterly relentless and merciless, as well as desperate enough to call upon the Stygian deity.

For instance, Zeus claims that Persephone only became Hades' queen because he kidnapped her, when actually she hitched a ride on Hades' chariot while escaping her overprotective mother. Additionally, mortals who mistake Hades as a messenger of death fear him, a discrepancy he expresses annoyance with.

Arronax is a Satan figure, an ancient elf from the Age of Legends who had been banished to the Void by Nasrudin, and his worshippers are planning to bring him back and exterminate or enslave all non-elves. Arronax isn't behind any of this, and in fact has been trapped in a shell for thousands of years. Kerghan the Necromancer has been impersonating him, and Kerghan's goal is to end all life on Arcanum, because the afterlife is a place of peaceful rest for all. He's an enemy of all life, but a reasonable guy for all that, and can be convinced to abandon his plan and die instead. Note that in Arcanum, "godhood" seems to be in the eye of the beholder, except for the Old Gods (who are only known through their blessings and curses). Kerghan is worshipped as a god, and is powerful enough to annihilate all life on Arcanum, ergo he is a god.

His only antagonistic actions were driven by the desire to protect his family, and he's generally rather polite when met by anyone not condemned to his realm. He merely serves as the Warden of Tartarus and tormentor of the wicked imprisoned there, and even allows good souls from Heaven to come try to redeem the fallen souls under his guard.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Arkay, the God of Death, averts this in the Imperial and classic Aldmeri pantheons, due to being the God of Death and Life. He is typically considered a compassionate god who sometimes has to do bad things so that something good will happen elsewhere, or ensuring that the world doesn't become totally static by allowing death so that new life can arise. He also averts this as his Yokudan/Redguard aspect, Tu'whacca, who guides the souls of the dead to the Far Shores, of which he is the caretaker. Played straight by Arkay's Old Nordic aspect, Orkey, the "Old Knocker", who is despised by Nords for giving them shorter lifespans than the hated Mer in their mythology. He also shows up several times in their mythology as a villain, such as when he and Alduin teamed up to reduce all Nords to the age of children. (Wulfharth Ash-King undid it using the Thu'um, but accidentally aged himself up too much and died.)

Instead of being depicted as more evil than his mythological depiction, this version seems to be much nicer than his myth counterpart. Hades, despite still being feared by the common god, is also the one they rely on the most, and often puts the needs of others above his, especially when it comes to protecting his brothers. This extends even to humanity, as he complimented his opponent Qin Shi Huang numerous times during their battle and stated that it was an honour to fight him, despite initially vowing to kill him to avenge Poseidon's death. Even in death, he apologizes to his family for failing in his duty as an elder brother.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_a9517b88	comment	Subverted in the God of War series, where Hades is no more evil than the other gods of Olympus despite his demonic appearance, and he remains loyal to Zeus throughout. However, it's played straight in the manual, which describes him as "a greedy god who is greatly concerned with increasing his subjects." In the sequels, he is finally motivated to kill Kratos out of revenge for his niece (Athena), brother (Poseidon) and wife (Persephone), thus making his actions at least understandable. The subversion is undone in the PSP title Ghost Of Sparta, where Thanatos, a death god whose existence is said to preempt that of Olympus, is a right bastard, who goes to significant lengths to keep Kratos from finding his brother, and when that fails kills Deimos, and constantly mocks Kratos the entire boss fight. This implies that Hades is not so much the god of death as he is of the afterlife (which was his actual role in Greek Mythology). Played straight with Persephone, Hades' wife, who not only hates her husband but plans to destroy Olympus, Elysium, and all of creation with it out of spite for her forced marriage.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_b6d60e4	comment	The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Kali is the "the goddess of death" in one scene, though this may have been an example of the trope being played with, as Mina suggests that by worshiping a goddess of destruction (or, incorrectly, of death) that Nemo is untrustworthy and possibly evil. However, a Victorian educated woman would have had little understanding of Hindu deities, and the whole scene served to illustrate that the team misunderstood and distrusted each other. Ironically, Nemo's costume suggests he's a Sikh (as he was in the comic though not in the novel), and not a Hindu at all. It's a moot point in the end, since Nemo is unambiguously one of the protagonists and of a more heroic bent than he's depicted as in both the original comic and in 20,000 Leagues.

Hades shows up, but outright refuses to aid Ares in his plans, not even when offered a way to ensure he gets plenty of souls for his domain (stating that everyone ends up there eventually anyway). In fact, the only reason Ares gets any support from Tartarus is that Persephone tells him about the Alicorn Amulet's abilities, because she somehow thinks she's helping her husband out. As it turns out, she was helping — she was counting on Ares failing and ending up sealed in Tartarus at Hades' will, something he's been trying to get done for a long time.

You can watch it here for now. Though while Hades visually looks like a Christian demon, his behavior is arguably much less evil. After seeing that there's no way for him to make Persephone happy, he releases her on the condition that she spends half of each year with him — which is in line with the myth.

Although Hades has an antagonistic role and is a verbally abusive father who frequently mocks and belittles his son Zagreus, the protagonist, he's more of an overworked bureaucrat who happens to be an asshole in his personal life than a cackling villain, and he has good reasons for trying to stop his son's attempts to escape the underworld. When it comes to his duties as the god of the dead, he takes them very seriously, even if it sometimes comes off like heâ€™d rather be doing anything else. Thanatos is also a subversion; despite being the embodiment of death, he's one of the more sympathetic characters in the game and mainly deals with those who died peacefully. Unfortunately for him, the trope is played straight In-Universe among the mortal populace, who hate and fear him, and often blame Ares' misdeeds on him.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_d5b6d7cd	comment	Smite features various Gods from various mythologies, and yet managed to have aversions, subversions and examples. Gods relating to death and underworld/afterlife such as Hades, Anubis, Hel and Baron Samedi are treated with Dark Is Not Evil treatment, they may be scary but they're just doing their jobs in managing the dead (though Hel has a severe case of Split Personality, which was probably a good compilation of the aforementioned 'Serene Hel' and 'Demonized-By-Pagans Hel' in the Mythology section). Thanatos is kind of a subversion, because while he's out to reap the souls of every Gods that turns out he dislikes, he has a good reason for it: He's The Grim Reaper, Gods being immortal is an insult to his job and philosophy of 'All beings will die one day', but in terms of taking the souls of mortals, it's just a daily job he does with no complaints or extra enthusiasm (although kind of bored since it poses no challenge). Loki, however, plays it straight, being one of the more Obviously Evil Gods whose purpose to kill the Gods is merely For the Evulz. With the release of the Mayan god Ah Puch, this trope was finally reconstructed with a Death god. Much like Apep from the Egyptian Mythology, people don't pray for Ah Puch, they instead do things to make sure Ah Puch doesn't claim the dead to be tortured. Hell his lore even makes him sound just straight-up monstrous. This isn't even a case of Sadly Mythtaken: This is how Ah Puch has been in the original mythology. Eventually, Izanami also joins the 'reconstruction' camp, as she's very malevolent and aiming to kill off everyone for her revenge, much like in the original myth, no one seems to like her for good reasons. But if you're paying attention with the original myth, she comes off less of a reconstruction because she wasn't doing it For the Evulz, but because of a tragedy.

True death priests are rare, but they are very powerful, with complete dominion over all magic, and are nearly impossible to kill. Except Byn-kodar doesn't actually exist. He is a name given to the death powers that all the gods share. When, on rare occasions, a death priest is needed, they select a devout priest of a normal god and grant them the powers.

However, Turakamu's priests see Turakamu as a natural part of the cycle of death and rebirth, do their level best to comfort the dying and grieving and are adamant that even their god cannot kill anyone before their allotted time is over.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_e66a25a9	comment	Palladium's Rifts is particularly bad about this. Here's a breakdown by pantheon: Aztec: Predictably, the cultural Values Dissonance wreaks havoc. With the exception of Quetzalcoatl and his pal/sidekick Xolotl, the entire pantheon is made up of bastards and a few gods who feel they don't have a choice in following them. Mictlan, the lord of the dead (well, it's actually the name of the underworld, but by this point, who cares, right?) deserves special mention, as it's technically not a pantheon member the Eldritch Abomination co-ruler of Hades (the place, which is crawling with a bunch of demon races; Hades the god rules another chunk of it) with fellow demon lord Modeus. Sumero-Babylonian: Apsu (an obscure water god mentioned in the EnÃ»ma EliÅ¡ as Tiamat's husband) is a titanic, even-more-overpowered-than-usual Eldritch Abomination sealed just prior to the gods' rebellion; Ereshkigal (goddess of the dead) and her husband Nergal (god of the sun and destruction; both rule over the underworld) are secretly but gleefully on Apsu and Tiamat's side and wait for the moment when they can rejoin them and destroy the rest of the pantheon. Egyptian: Anubis is The Dragon within the Pantheon of Taut (the "evil" half of the pantheon, led by Set), who for lack of other evil forces besides Apep/Apophis had to be filled with other rather ridiculous choices such as Anhur (who's there mostly because of Honor Before Reason), Bes (who supposedly became an evil psycho long ago for... some reason), and Amon (who's now a woman who became evil and ugly "just because"). Greek: Ironically, Hades gets off the easiest, coming off mostly as a Jerkass Knight Templar; Ares is a bullying jerk, but that's the same as in actual myth. Hera is a Soap Opera-style Queen Bitch who's finally gone insane from Zeus' philandering, and is actively fomenting strife between Olympus and other pantheons, as well as thinking about freeing the Titans. The Titans themselves are either Eldritch or Humanoid Abominations - Cronos is a black blob of eyes and tentacles who created the first olympian gods as edible power batteries, and Hecate, while more or less human in appearance, is a ruthless power-hungry pragmatist who's mercenary enough to deal with the Splugorth (a whole species of eldritch abominations whose hat is being Corrupt Corporate Executive imperialistic slave-traders). Norse: Mostly untouched (Loki's a bad guy), but Hel (goddess of the dishonorable dead)'s bad side is emphasized: She's an Ax-Crazy Omnicidal Maniac who wants to ally herself with the Mechanoids (who are borderline Dalek expies) to exterminate all humanoid life in The Multiverse. Hindu: Kali gets the full treatment (Ax-Crazy Blood Knight who betrayed the pantheon to the aforementioned Splugorth For the Evulz), but then so does Yama, god of death (psychopathic, sadistic Omnicidal Maniac; notice a pattern yet?). Even Varuna is a bitter Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who'll stoop to any level to get back his former power. Chinese: The Yama Kings (all of them) have come through the Rifts with armies of demons to carve up most of China into their personal little kingdoms, and each is a Hell on Earth of a different flavor (or flavors - the Chinese have a lot of hells), so they're probably not nice people; their receiving villainous coverage also happened in Palladium's "Mystic China" supplement for their martial arts RPG Ninjas & Superspies. Maya: Barely touched upon, but all we see (the lords of the underworld of Xibalba and bat-god Camazotz) are demon lords. And then there's a bunch of pretenders and impostors passing themselves for existing legitimate gods, usually for less-than-virtuous reasons, many of whom are actually Eldritch Abominations (notice another pattern?)

Among the Pesedjet, Osiris looks after his subjects, taking care of them, but is also someone who can tell you up front he's a manipulator, and still get you to go along with him because he seems so good and wise, while Anubis is a dedicated worker who hates being disappointed by his compatriots. Then there's Baron Samedi of the Loa, who's the ultimate party creature, living (un)life to excess. On the other hand, Miclantehcuhtli of the Atzlanti is portrayed as being evil in a spiteful, petty bureaucrat sort of way; Hel of the Norse Aesir is cold, cruel and unfeeling, and the Ragnarok supplement mocks players who want to make her happy through the power of true love (although it does leave open the possibility); and Izanami of the Amatsukami torments other gods and Scions for being unable to save her from her tortured and rotten state as ruler of the Japanese underworld (but she's still for all that a gracious hostess, and reluctant to have anyone condemn themselves to her fate). All of these are pretty close to their respective myths, no less. White Wolf likes to do the research. Somewhat. Getting into the various little inaccuracies of Scion's depictions of certain gods can cover a lot more than this trope, but Mictlantecuhtli wasn't evil at all. He was very terrifying in appearance, sure, but he was really just a grump that took his job VERY seriously. That job being keeping living people out of Mictlan and making sure dead people stayed in it. Of the non-core pantheons in 1e, Manannan mac Lir of the Tuatha de Dannan is a psychopomp, a quick-thinking trickster and seducer, while the Morrigan is seer, warrior and death-queen, a fearsome figure even to her fellow gods, but not unsympathetic; the Celestial Bureaucracy's Yanluo is a compassionate figure, who seeks to help the dead work through their sins; and of the Hindu Devas, Yama is a dispassionate judge who lacks a sense of humour, Kali is a fierce, terrifying change-agent, a necessary part of the cycle, and Shiva is a dancer, a nightmare, a destroyer and an ascetic mystic by turns.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_ea4f62db	comment	Family Guy parodies this trope. Death is a recurring character who hates his job but notes repeatedly that, like it or not, death is as much a part of life as birth. He's also portrayed as The Woobie, and is completely miserable because of his job. One episode focuses on Peter trying to help Death improve his life while still maintaining his duty.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_eb15a131	comment	Drive Angry has an excellent subversion. There's a Satanist cult behind most of the film's events, and the Accountant encounters one of them left alive after the hero's rampage through their 'church.' The Accountant makes it clear that, from his personal interactions with Satan, he's a well-read and rather pleasant guy. He made a foolish mistake eons ago, and has spent the entire time since then stuck as the warden to the worst prison in the universe. And what really ticks him off is having to watch people on Earth commit atrocities and claim that he had a hand in them. Additionally, the Accountant himself is heavily implied to be The Grim Reaper or something very much like it (with Nicolas Cage's character repeatedly comparing him to various death gods like Wotan and Anubis), and he comes across as fairly likable.

Everybody Hates Hades / int_eb9e3429	comment	The Mummy Returns: Anubis receives similar treatment, being responsible for providing a murderous army of jackal-headed warriors to the Scorpion King in exchange for his soul. Considering Anubis was a chiefly neutral deity whose main job was to guide and protect the dead, this seemed rather contrary to his purpose. This is made stranger by the fact that Anubis aided the heroes in the first first film by making Imhotep mortal when summoned. He actually does this again during The Mummy Returns when he evens the playing field for the final showdown. Seeing as the trilogy draws thematic inspiration from old pulp stories that used Egypt and its mythology as adventure fodder, it's possible that the mistake was a deliberate attempt to emulate the typical mistakes of those stories.

HADES was originally part of GAIA, the AI created to restore life to Earth after it was wiped out by the Faroh Plague, and HADES was an important part of this process: in the event things went wrong, HADES would wipe out the failed biosphere so that GAIA could start over again. Almost 20 years before the game begins, a mysterious signal caused HADES to go rogue and try to wipe out all life.

However, Hecate, another underworld god(dess), comes off particularly badly, being turned into a demon. Yama is the amoral gatekeeper of Chinese Hell who tries to snatch whatever spirits were not "properly buried" and drag them to Hell, regardless of whether they were good or evil. The Angel of Death, on the other hand, is portrayed more or less sympathetically, especially during his first appearance. He does his job in ensuring that everyone dies at the appropriate time. If somebody who must die does not, it will cause the natural flow of death to halt and put the entire world in chaos.

At least that's what the Japanese version does, but in the English version and carrying over to Central Fiction, they slap the name Hades in front of her, turning her name into 'Hades Izanami', making it a double whammy for both myths, especially since her title of "Meiou" (lit. Dark King) in Japanese is part of the term "meiousei" (lit. dark king star), the Japanese name for Pluto and by proxy another one of Hades' names.

Once Max snaps her out of it (using an idol of Shiva, another Dark Is Not Evil god, and the husband of Kali in actual Hinduism to boot, she deals with the snake monster for them and leaves. Another episode, "The Mummy's Hand," involves Isis trying to resurrect Osiris, and willing to chop off lots of hands in order to do it. When she finally manages to do it (with Max's hand, which thankfully doesn't need to be chopped off) Osiris actually chides her, saying that she went too far and forgot to treat mortals the way she was supposed to.

When Adaptus fled Cybertron, he fired a memory-erasing weapon at the planet to cover his tracks; afterwards people remembered the Guiding Handâ€™s exploits, but not the specific details about them, so they simply assumed the big, scary-looking one associated with death was the bad one.

That mythological bit about letting Orpheus and his beloved Eurydice go back to life just because he was touched by his music is present here. He's the primary antagonist of the prequel, Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas. Or so it seemed until near the end, when it was revealed that his human host was simply pretending to have been possessed, while Hades was really still in deep slumber inside of his soul; Hades does awaken and takes over after the host's ultimate defeat, though.
