Beauty vs Beast: Hercules or Hades?
by Nathaniel R
Jason is on vacation so I'm stepping in for this week's episode of Beauty vs. Beast. Post Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast Disney seems to be greenlighting live-action retreads of virtually all of their animated films. How long until casting news on Three Caballeros? I kid I kid... but will second or third tier stuff get this treatment... like, say, 1997's Hercules? Make your case as to who should reign victorious in the comments
Last week's battle pitted The Truman Show's Truman (Jim Carrey) against his fake sugary screen wife Meryl (Laura Linney).
For once, a man emerged victorious in a gender split battle. Endearing baffled Truman took 64% of your votes, though y'all felt disloyal for turning on The Lovely Laura Linney!
I think Tom spoke for most of you when he said...
This may be the only time I don't vote for Laura Linney"

I voted for Hercules but lets be honest we are all team Meg.
My vote was a vote against James Woods.
Tom -- this is why she's not part of the poll!
It really is crummy to see James Woods become such a bitter, hateful old man.
Watching James Woods sputter nonsense on Twitter is pretty unfortunate, but it doesn't mean his Hades is about as great a Disney Villain as we can get without one having a song, especially when his explosions are more memorable to me than Hercules's song whose name I can't remember. Art from artist, I guess.
Team Hunkules, but Hades is a funny and charming villain.
The beauty that the computer animations can't achieve. And make the greek chorus gospel is brilliant.
Of my favorite Disney sountracks. The ancient greeks knew, invented and predicted everything...
Come on, you always are so biased and vote for the women and this time you turned your back on Laura Linney. How dare you? Traitors! ;_;
It's a shame Hercules is considered second tier Disney, when it's sooooo good!
Hercules is an underrated Disney movie for sure. So hilarious! And Hades is definitely one of the most deliciouis cynical villains of all time.
I consider Hercules the second dishiest Disney character (second only to Nick from ZOOTOPIA... don't judge me!), so had to vote for the eye candy.
exciting contest. do share it. had no idea this one would be a 50/50 !!!
only one of them puts the glad in gladiator #teamherc
I am ALWAYS Team Hot Ginger.
Is it wrong/weird that Hercules made me realize I was gay when I was just a kid?
