As a Greek Mythology enthusiast, I'm really growing tired of this whole Hades = Underworld = Satan = Villain equation endlessly going on in Hollywood. He was the ONE AND ONLY Greek god who never ever antagonised anyone – usually people came to the Underworld to antagonise him, but that's hardly his fault. The two things he did were kidnapping Persephone, which pissed Demeter off, and a fling with the nymph Myntha, which angered Persephone; for the most part, he kept on the sidelines minding his own business. :v He's not typecast as evil because of any perceived similarities to Satan. He's typecast because he rules over the dead. Anubis is a benevolent Egyptian god, but because he's the god of mummification (commonly confused to be the god of the dead), he is always typecast as a villain. If anyone is related to death, they're usually seen as evil, whether that is true or not.

Especially in this society where death is literally our #1 fear, as proven by numerous psychological studies.
