I like the part where Ares just cautiously moving away from his parents and went next to his siblings

[Dat_Boy_Dale_Gribble]

I really feel bad for Ares. This spotlights how much Zeus and Hera use him as an argument tool rather than treating him like their own son. It makes him understandable too. I’d be a rage filled basket case if my parents used me to get dirt on each other.

[michelveilleux]

I like how the second the parents come out, Ares immediately goes to the brothers he was fighting moments before. The "I don't want to be here." is real.

Zeus: "WHAT DID YOU TOLD TO YOUR MOTHER"
me: *Divorce flashback* "oh hell"

[anonhomie]

ares is what drake thinks he looks like

[caelum]

Anyone with divorced or unstable parents (or both) knows how Ares feels. He's not a coward, just feels like a little boy who doesn't know who to side with

[andrewarugay]

This animated series deserves atleast 6 seasons

[naki]

Why did the creators had to make everyone so goddamn attractive ?!

[pabloramos]

Glad my boy Alucard getting casted in different shows .

[lyramalfoy]

Ares is underappreciated. He's more troubled than the other Gods because it his parents that are fighting. Hephaestus couldn't care less but Ares feels so tangled between two. He loves his father yet he also wants justice for his mother. Maybe that's a reason why he's a "coward".

[firxanza]

so this is what the Gods do when they are not at work

[Coldheart]

Ares is my favorite god and I feel really bad for him. He's in the middle and must follow both parents, I guess he fears Hera more than his dad Zeus.

[albustran]

I like the fact that Hera actually wield true power. The other gods seem to fear her as equal as Zeus.

[MisterSmith]

They really nailed Hermès in this show...

Lots of people highlight Hermès speed...those winged sandals ARE amazing...but the show also pointed out his lesser-known duty as a god: the shepherding of souls to the Underworld.

His “soul satchel” was a good example of his domain, as well as when he escorts the queen to Elysium.

Not only that, but they even included his Cap of Invisibility!

Between that, and his speed, it really cemented Hermès role as scout, spy, and Zeus’s best agent in clandestine missions.

[sancheezzzy]

For how badass Hermès was in this show, I really wished we got more of him especially fighting such a shame.

I hope we get more of him in the future, the scenes of him running alone wasn’t enough. It was badass but I needed more.

[Woodside]

I kinda like how Ares just looks tired when he's not currently fighting.
It's like he's sick of the conflict. Awfully sad really.

[hayleybenn]

Why is nobody talking about how hot Hermès is, by far my favorite god

[jjh]

I would love to see a season of the adventures of Apollo and Hermes.

[phoebusapollo]

Good show, actually gave Ares credit as a God of War rather than making him the first weakling to get defeated as so many other forms of media do.
Edit: to all the people in the reply section saying that in Greek mythology he’s actually written that way, I’m very well aware. It doesn’t mean I have to like it. I’m of the opinion that a god of war should one of the most powerful Olympians. The actual mythology disagrees with me, but this show doesn’t, so I like it.

Reminder that Ares only loses to Athena in the mythos because Athens had all the scholars and writers and they were pissed that Sparta beat them in a war so they wrote their Goddess as being better than Sparta's God. Ares and Hades always get the short end of the stick in writings because they're easy targets to use as villains, despite Athen turning poor women into Gorgons and spiders, Zeus raping everything he sees, and the other Gods being just as bad if not worse than Hades and Ares
