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).

And yeah, they would have done a Greek myth regardless of Disney. They use Disney imagery, but they clearly used King Midas in like early season 1, which as far as I know, isn;t apart of Disney. Hades is only using the blue hair and that's it, while the rest is pretty much cliche Devil stuff. That's true, well I still hope they'll appear later on, like how Graham makes an appearance at the end of season 1 to help rescue David from the castle.

And as for Midas, that was in season 1, when they really were more about fairy tales and myths and less about Disney. For the record, I think Disney did a film called The Golden Touch years ago but I doubt that's why the writers included him in Once.

But my only point was that since season 1, Once has grown to be more specifically about Disney, until season 4 when they use Frozen (the EXACT same outfits) and Fantasia, and Cruella DeVil (who isn't even part of a myth or fairy tale) and it just becomes Disney Disney Disney.

And I'm pretty sure Hades' evil is copied from Disney too. Look in any other source for Greek mythology and Hades will be just like any other god - a bit snooty as gods tend to be, but that's it. The original Hades submitted to Zeus as the other gods did, did his job properly and helped defeat the Titans. Cliche Devil stuff is no excuse because Hades is not the Devil. I actually don't mind if Once bases itself off Disney at least in its core aspect, and see no reason to try and deny it.
