->''"Hades has really gotten a bad rep over the years. People hear 'King of the Underworld' [[EveryoneIsSatanInHell and suddenly all they can see is Satan]]. The thing is, mythological Hades [[MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold never did ANYTHING to deserve his bad rep]]. Sure, he kidnapped Persephone, but this was [[ValuesDissonance a time when kidnapping your future wife wasn't as frowned upon as it is today]]. And by all accounts their relationship was [[HappilyMarried remarkably functional]]. He asked Zeus to stop Asclepius from resurrecting the dead, but it's not his fault that Zeus interpreted that as 'set the guy on fire.' He helped Orpheus reunite with his dead wife, and hey, it's not his fault the kid [[InevitablyBrokenRule did the one thing he warned him not to do]]. By all accounts, Hades is a really NiceGuy who [[DarkIsNotEvil loves his wife, keeps his promises, and does his job]]. Also there's evidence that Cerberus means 'spotted', so this enormous dork also named [[FluffyTheTerrible his three-headed hellhound 'Spot'.]] You gotta love this guy!"''

->'''Hercules:''' Uncle Hades, it is wrong to condemn people after they've changed for the good. Now, you can prove yourself to be an even greater god than my father, Zeus. He doesn't care about mortals, but you do. Give them a chance to change.\\
'''Hades:''' Greater than Zeus?\\
'''Hercules:''' Yeah. The legend of your compassion will sweep the world.\\
'''Hades:''' My image could use a boost.
