And no, this arc is not based on Disney's Hercules. It is based on the Greek Underworld with some points from the Disney film. But contrary to the Frozen arc, we can't say our current arc is based on a Disney film ^^ I did not know they said that, sorry. And yeah sure you can say it's not based on Hercules all day but Once Upon a Time has moved from being about fairy tales to being about stories adapted by Disney. If they're going to use Hades' awful blue fire hair and make him a villain they can't say they're just doing Greek mythology as normal, since neither of those things apply to the original myth. And would they really be doing the Greek underworld if Disney hadn't made a Greek mythology film, or would they be making a different story?

And problem was very clear, it was just that we don't get more of Hercules and Megara. I can still be upset about it, especially since I'm not very fond of this Hades. Being upset is totally fine, but I'm sure they did it for the best with their creative judgment. I think they considered it best for them to move on than to stick around and not have screen time and waste money. (By that I mean, looking at 514 and 515, we'd never have the chance to see them and they wouldn't really be doing much).
