* VillainRevealsTheSecret: Hades reveals the hero that his chickie-poo [[TheAtoner Meg]] had been working with him all the time. And this happened AFTER Herc accepted to trade his own strength to save her and let everyone else be harmed by any potential threat. As you may imagine, [[DespairEventHorizon he doesn't take it well]].

** After Hades sees Herc buried in an avalanche, he conjures a cigar, leans back in his chair, and smugly says "Game, set, match." As he says the last word, he flicks his thumb as if it's a match, a flame appears atop it, and he uses it to light the cigar.

* VanillaEdition: This became one of the first four movies in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon that Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo released on UsefulNotes/{{DVD}}, as part of the Limited Issues series in late 1999.[[note]]Its DVD came out one week after the initial release of ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'', and the same day that ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' made their DVD debuts.[[/note]] Unfortunately, the disc contains only a non-anamorphic presentation of the movie, a making-of featurette that runs less than 10 minutes, and a Music/RickyMartin music video for the Spanish version of "Go the Distance". A second DVD release, as part of the Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection, made literally no improvement to the picture or the extras. The UsefulNotes/BluRay has vastly improved picture and sound, but just one additional bonus feature: a sing along of "Zero to Hero".

Removed trope with a duplicate on the Characters page; typo fix; fixed formatting, as separate bullet points are only supposed to be used for separate examples; added trope


* {{Tsundere}}: Megara is an easy example. Look at "(I Won't Say) I'm in Love" for a perfect example of a tsuntsun-to-deredere switch.
* TwoWordsAddedEmphasis: The Latin Spanish dub makes his LastSecondWordSwap the only time Philocetes follows "Two Words" with actually two words.
* TwoWordsICantCount:
** A RunningGag is that every time Philocetes attempts TwoWordsAddedEmphasis, he gets the count wrong.
--->'''Phil:''' I got two words for ya kid--I am retired!\\\

** After the "retired" line, a confused Hercules is then seen counting it out. As a BilingualBonus, "I am retired" ''is'' two words in Ancient Greek.
** In Phil's song "One Last Hope", the lines "Askin' me to jump into the fray/My answer is two words:" set him to rhyme with something like "No way." Then he's forced to make a LastSecondWordSwap.

* UngratefulBastard: Meg's former lover. She gave Hades her soul for him, and he repays her ''by running off with someone else.''
* UseYourHead: Phil meant tactically thinking, but a headbutt works too against the Centaur. "Not bad! Not exactly what I had in mind, but not bad."

* UnderworldRiver: The classic river Styx appears, and in this work it takes the form not of a physical river, but a stream of Hades's tortured souls which [[RapidAging rapidly ages]] any living mortal who touches it. [[spoiler:After Meg gets killed, Hades makes a deal with Hercules that the latter will retrieve Meg's soul from it to bring her back to life, in exchange for his own life. However, Hades "forgets" to inform Hercules that the river's aging effect will just kill him anyway before he can even get to Meg. Unfortunately for him though, Hercules's HeroicSacrifice finally earns him his godhood, allowing him to successfully retrieve Meg's soul without having to die himself. When Hades attempts to salvage the situation, Hercules punches him into the river to get pulled under by his very unhappy "tenants".]]

* SignsOfDisrepair: When the Cyclops attacks Thebes and taunts a depowered Hercules to fight. Herc answers the challenge, and was quickly swatted aside into a billboard advertising "Air-Herc" sandals with Herc's portrait losing a few teeth.

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: [[spoiler: Hades was already savvy about infant Hercules being a potential x-factor in his scheme. The conference with the Fates and their foretelling not only validates these concerns, but also reveal it's worse than Hades had feared: Should Hercules fight, Hades ''will'' fail. So, Hades immediately moves to take Hercules off the board...and instead sets off the chain of events that only ensures Herc ''does'' end up stopping the Titans 18 years later.]]
