<Snipped quote by Pathfinder>
yeah, 'xactly. Was just referring to the propensity of adaptations to have him as a villain.
They always show shades in a bad light but I always see him as a balance and the only reason he is so moody is he kind of got the bad end of the stick job wise. I mean, his brother rules over the sky as well as the gods. The other rules over the oceans which makes up most of the earth and he gets to sit in never ending darkness and rules over the dead. Can't say I would be completely happy and wonderful either in those situations.
The story of Hades and Persephone has so many different versions. My favorite is actually the one where Hades kidnaps Persephone but eventually they fall in love because Persephone can see past everything to view what is really in his heart. When she is ordered to return to her mother she is torn on what to do. Hades tricked her into eating the Pomegranate seeds so she didn't have to worry about making a choice. He saved her from that and even gave her a small amount instead of forcing her to stay in the darkness with him all the time.
In one version, he even opens up the underworld so that a spring time tree may grow there to keep Persephone happy and herself.
He is not a bad guy. Not really.
