The mix of being a queer parent who has been a lifelong fan of fantasy makes this entire channel _perfect._ The parenting in weird circumstances while trying to be wholesome speaks to me. Will continue commenting on every video until you get so huge that it doesn't matter anymore. 1 million subscibers!
Zeus just needs an upstanding dad figure, that will not eat siblings, and will gentle him. I mean, he may have kids, but he's mostly an absent father. Except that he kinda likes Hercules (I think?) Anyway I hope he does come to Thanksgiving, or at least peeks in? Thank you for sharing this universe. My mouth hurts from laughing.
From what I remember, he occasionnally helps or grant favors to his kids. But that does not occur often. The gods were more prone to use their powers for punishment, or rewards that feel like punishment, than actual help.
"Except that he kinda likes Hercules" - see, that's actually really interesting mythological. Because Zeus isn't ever shown to have a relationship with Herc - he simply declared before Herc was born that the next son of Perseus line would become king and then slept with someone to try to make that his son. And Hera, being the goddess of childbirth and understandably miffed at Zeus again, foiled his plans by having someone else born premature! In other words: I think Hercules being the Best Zeus Kid was purely out of *principle*. Zeus is king and demands everyone respect him, and he was upset that his wife showed him up. He intervened in the rest of Hera's revenge not because he cared, but purely because Zeus was in a *snit*.
@@VoidWalkerOblivion The way it was presented to me, Hera was constantly seeing Zeus philander with other women, and Hercules was the last straw. She made him go temporarily insane and kill his wife and kids. He comes out of it and realizes what he's done, but he still has to make atonement for the murders by performing the 12 feats of Hercules. He still ends up dying from a poisoned cloak his last wife/girlfriend gave him. Such a difference from the Disney version.
Yes! My timing has never been better. I LIVE for these. I love you, Woplop!! I was not expecting you to humanize an off-screen imaginary character the point that I could feel sympathy for _Zeus._ Excellent work!
“We don’t have god in this family” has me rolling 🤣
I've seen it before but "80's car wash" Poseidon makes me giggle every time.
Same 😂
"We don't have God in the family" is the kind of conversation I could actually imagine happening.

As someone who just finished the newest Percy Jackson book, I came as soon as I saw the call.
Fantastic :)

send him home with a to-go plate! Share the food and good vibes without endangering everyone at thanksgiving. win win!
@@Katm0m Great idea. And of course Dad Who Lived will have to explain turkey and trimmings and the whole holiday to Zeus as well.

Glad to have you here
The centaur fever bit is genuinely one of the funniest I've seen in a while.
The subtle things you say - I’m always highly impressed, and I always laugh so hard! Genius. Seriously.
Reaction to Zeus's childhood would be the same reaction to me if i ever pen and publish my memoir
2:17 Leo!!!!
Yes! Love Percy Jackson! Excellent choice 😄
Where’d the sparkly crown go??
Lol I love these!
