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? Arthurian Legend in 5A made it pretty clear they are not doing "just Disney movies".
