So, is he not the greatest villain of all Once time? IS he some combination of villains that we have had before? Is he too cartoony or so hateable that you love him? Regardless of any opinions, Greg is rocking the role given to him.

My opinion is split. I tend to love villains from 1 to present, but never did I expect a villain that I love to hate. It's so weird! Hades does get a kick (or should I say a spark) out of crushing others' hope and dreams and it's quite sadistic. And he's the villain of villains too. Noone should ever treat Cora that way or Rumple, but they met their match or better in Hades.

Villainy aside, I do feel as though he has a lack of engagement to me. It's as if Mordred overthrew Arthur in the tents of SB and Emma and the gang put a stop to it. The same way as it is with Once currently. Hades seems to be drawing this ordeal out and somehow being incompetent in unreasonable ways without any reason given.

He may have certain rules he have to abide by, but we don't know that and it looks as if Hades is just some bad, lazy HR person  hiring incompetent people and never just ending things. However, Greek Gods in myth did seem like petty jerks.

So, what's your opinion so far? Loving him? Hating him? Isn't Hades giving them the punishment that they deserve? After all, they are trying to fight against nature for selfish.....I mean noble reasons.
