They found out that the oracles breathe in gas from inside the temple before making any divination...

That might've been the cave where Phyton was killed by Appollo, and the gas is from its rotting carcass.

Kinda rough killed by one god for doing another gods bidding 🤷🏻‍♂️

Apollo was literally minutes old when he became fully grown (he was given nectar and ambrosia at birth, and he grew up after he ate and drank them), and was four days old when he killed Python.

You forgot to mention that Hera had forbidden Leto from giving birth on any land that was mainland or connected by sea. She was pregnant with the twins for approximately 7 months (Hermes was born the same day he was conceived {same with each of the Nine Muses, but they're NOT multiples}, so Goddesses didn't have to wait months to give birth), and was pursued by Python the entire time. Eventually, Zeus felt sorry for Leto, and commanded Poseidon to raise an island from the sea, which became the floating island of Delos (some versions, the island of Delos was actually Leto's sister, Asteria {mother of Hecate}). There Leto was able to give birth to Artemis relatively easily, but Apollo basically got stuck, because Hera distracted her daughter, Eileithyia, the Goddess of Childbirth, and kept her off Delos, so Apollo couldn't be born.

After either one day (or nine days and nine nights), Artemis stepped in to help deliver her twin. Eventually, the other Goddesses that were there, begged Hera to let Eileithyia on Delos, and Hera reluctantly agreed, so Apollo was born with Artemis' help (Artemis became a Goddess of Childbirth after that, but Eileithyia was still the main Goddess of Childbirth). Leto couldn't breastfeed Apollo, so Themis fed him nectar and ambrosia and he became fully grown.

Apollo demanded a bow and arrows, then hunted down Python, killing the serpent dragon at 4 days old. Python may or may not have r+ped Leto when he was chasing her.

Gaia, the Earth Mother, and mother of Python was angry at what Apollo did, so he called his Oracle of Delphi (Del-Fee, not Del-Fai. If you want to get technical, it's actually pronounced Thel-fee, and Delos {Dee-los} is actually pronounced Thee-los in modern Greek), Pythia in honor of Python. Some versions had Apollo turned mortal as punishment for killing Python.

Why did Hera not take her anger out on Zeus? You know the God that keeps cheating on her?

I like how they present this story. He literally killed his own boogeyman, his childhood fear. This could be a good theme for coming of age fantasy story where the protagonist overcoming his own childhood fear and killed the monster/the demon that use to terrorize him in the dark (but this time it’s literally), a sign of transition from a childhood life to adulthood. At least that’s how I feel when watching this shorts.

Is that serpent related to Jormungand?😂

Hail Apollo! Hail Artemis! Hail Leto!
