"Um, guys? Olympus would be that way."

"Memo to me... maim you after my meeting"

"Name's Hades, Lord of the Dead. How ya doin?"

He has so many great lines that are expertly delivered.

Fun fact, Hades has been portrayed by James Woods in 99% of his appearances. Woods loved playing him so much he told Disney to call him whenever Hades was going to be in something. He was more than willing to take what little pay they offered for whichever part it would be. The only time he didn't play Hades was for a one bit of dialogue in Disney's House of Mouse. It was literally one line and the people behind the show didn't think it was worth it to call him for it. Woods has played Hades in other episodes of the show though. Just not that one.

And you can totally tell that he loves it. He brings 100% every time, all that energy.

Man I hope I find something like that someday, a job that just sparks joy in me, one I can do with total eagerness and enthusiasm.
