Zeus was the worst person for Hera to be with. She’s the goddess of marriage (a mortal concept) and infidelity/divorce is her antithesis, so it’s hopeless

*after that in the underworld*
Hades: Hera?
Zeus: Hera

I binged all 8 episodes. I couldn't stop watching. After it ended, I still wanted more. A fantastic series.

[unapologetic_pie]

One of the best scenes of this season hands down really felt that love.

[saurabhsingh]

They showed Zeus to be very flawed, but someone who tries to get back up. Hera is the one with anger (which is to be expected for the given circumstances), which shows in how possessive she is over Zeus, it turned her to blind hate. No one's to blame here, its a tragedy, though I think in the last moment he won her over. Well, they both lost their ways, starting with Zeus, but somewhere inside, probably, they loved each other very deeply as well, thus explains her anger, also his sacrifice.
The music is phenomenal.

Powerhouse animation is incredible. Both this and Castlevania are able to evoke such emotion through anime that it is unreal. Something very few traditional series can capture. It's a breathe of fresh air honestly.

Everyone: this scene is so sad. I ship them!!!

Me: Is HERMES OK?? IS HERMES OK???

[aquarianlapislazuli]

Okay lemme tell you the significance of this scene. If you payed attention before Hera asked Zeus a question. " Did you ever truly love me " Zeus did not answer the question. Later on Zeus went to check on Heron and his mom and she said, " if you truly loved me you'd take us away from here but you fear Hera more than you love me " I believe this was said because the only reason why Zeus slept with her was because she was around and was in need of saving as Hera is independent and did not really ever need Zeus to begin with. This scene however answers Hera's previous question " did you ever truly love me " and the answer is Yes this all came back full circle.

Zeus was a flawed character, but he loved his kids, and in the end did the right thing for his wife. And the OST in this scene was amazing 😢

[stansmrookies]

Love the fact that they put Hera being the Queen of Heavens before Zeus btw, that's something that alot of people don't know

[mightiest]

This show was just so phenomenal but man they didn’t have to kill my man Zeus 😪the creators out did them selves again

[angelofsarcasm]

When you know the history, this can also be the jealous sibling dynamic.

[LovleyLemonade]

I love how they did Zeus in this series. He is a problematic character as mythology describes, but he isn't an absolute villain. In the end, he loved Hera despite all the cheating and Hera seeking revenge. Good balance.

[JJirachi]

Theory: When Zeus first rescued Hera from the tornado giant during the first war, it was the first time he ever blinked at her, and possibly the only time, until this scene. That is why Hera immediately remembers how Zeus rescued her from the giant, and it might've reminded her of the love she once bore for him, only to see him get destroyed seconds later. Which is why she suddenly seems remorseful, and grasps for his crown, as a desperate attempt to attain a memory of him.

The score/music behind this scene was BEAUTIFUL!! Especially the flashback at 2:30, that’s my favorite part. This show was great

[derek]

This was a powerful scene. In my top 5 scenes ever.

[yippydog]

I honestly didnt really think of Hera as a villain(or Herons half brother). Its not just Herons mother that Zeus cheated with. There are MANY women. Hince the quotes at the beginning during there argument. "Only because there were others". Also when Zeus brought Heron to Olymus among the chatter of the gods you could hear "This is the 7th one" or "He just cant keep it in his pants can he". Hes been un loyal multiple times, and that rage must have been boiling up overtime. Though I wish she didnt go as far as she did, I see why. Deep rooted anger from being lied to and cheated on built up for centuries can do that. But gotta applaud Zeus for still protecting her till the end. Shows even thoug she did all this he didnt hate her and still cares for her

[roguejester]

Hera:" You did this to yourself."
Me:" He did but so did you, lady."

[JordanBrownLost]

Loved this scene. Especially Zeus yelling out before blowing himself and the giant to shit

[jckholmes]

Loved Hera's character. The audacity of Zeus to cheat and then just expect her to deal with it. Such a great mirror for the actual world where cheaters will court loyal monogamist rather than go out and find other poly folks like them.
