WHO'S HOTTEST IN HADES? — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00As you guys all know, Hades 2 dropped
- 0:03super recently. And I thought, before I
- 0:05actually play Hades 2, that we'd have a
- 0:08little blast from the past and actually
- 0:10look at the characters from Hades
- 0:11because it has an incredibly unique art
- 0:13style and some really, really fun
- 0:15designs. But I was like, you know, I've
- 0:17seen these characters before, so just
- 0:19talking about their designs would be
- 0:21boring. So I thought I would give you
- 0:23guys my ranking from like the character
- 0:25that causes me the least by panic to the
- 0:27one that causes me the most by panic cuz
- 0:29I think that's a nice twist. Like Hades
- 0:31is famous for having hot people, but
- 0:32let's rank them. Who's the hottest?
- 0:34[Laughter]
- 0:37[Music]
- 0:41Wow. We're doing only Hades 1 because
- 0:44Hades 2 I haven't played it yet and some
- 0:46characters have gotten redesigned, so I
- 0:47don't want to get spoiled on those. So
- 0:48we're only doing the first Hades. So
- 0:50let's begin with the character that I
- 0:52find the least [ __ ] Number 31.
- 0:55There's a good boy. Obviously, and if
- 0:58somebody disagrees with me, I am going
- 1:01to have questions. No, I would not [ __ ]
- 1:04the No, don't [ __ ] the dog. I would love
- 1:06to pet the dog, but there is no petting
- 1:09in this review, so we got Cerberus. God,
- 1:11he's so cute. I like this take on the
- 1:13dog because it's super friendly while
- 1:16still looking like decently threatening.
- 1:18It's like bright [ __ ] red with like
- 1:21big, beady eyes and super [ __ ] sharp
- 1:24teeth and the skull on the collar, but
- 1:26somehow he's still super friend-shaped.
- 1:30And I was really happy in the game when
- 1:32we did not have to actually fight the
- 1:33dog cuz I panicked. It's also super cute
- 1:35cuz like you look at the noses, they
- 1:37kind of look like skulls. I love that
- 1:39their tongue is like bright yellow
- 1:41because they actually have Hades's color
- 1:43scheme and Zag's as well. So do you
- 1:46think he's got three?
- 1:48No.
- 1:49Fun fact, by all technicality, Cerberus
- 1:52in the Greek language when translated is
- 1:54actually named Spot. Oh. 30. Nice place
- 1:58you got here, boyo. Now, I don't
- 2:00consider Skelly to be very [ __ ] I
- 2:02consider him to be very funny, but
- 2:05definitely not very [ __ ] The
- 2:07interesting thing about Skelly though is
- 2:09that he's a completely bastardized
- 2:11version of a skeleton. Oh, come on,
- 2:13Lily. What? I don't want to [ __ ] a
- 2:14skeleton. There is nothing to [ __ ]
- 2:18Skelly's hilarious though. None of the
- 2:20bones are in proper places. His rib cage
- 2:23is fused together. He doesn't even have
- 2:25like the proper hip bones or anything.
- 2:27Like he looks like a skeleton that's
- 2:30like almost skeleton-shaped statue, not
- 2:33so much like an actual dead person if
- 2:35that makes sense. I also really like
- 2:37that one of his eyes is much bigger than
- 2:39the other and that he has like some
- 2:40wispy hairs on the back. It makes him
- 2:42look hella unhinged. Like he has sleazy
- 2:44old man vibes. It's very, very funny. I
- 2:46also really like his color scheme. They
- 2:48could have made it like a very
- 2:48warm-toned white, like literally bone
- 2:51white, but they made it blue, which I
- 2:52think looks much nicer. He's not like
- 2:54very attractive to me, but he is funny,
- 2:56so he gets points for that. Number 29.
- 2:59When
- 3:00hubby asked me to rank these and he sent
- 3:02me the list, I had to ask him, "Why the
- 3:06[ __ ] is the rock in there?" I voiced
- 3:08that guy. Sure you do, Opalo. Hi,
- 3:10sweetie. How is a rock higher than
- 3:12Skelly? He's friend-shaped. Look, I
- 3:14might [ __ ] the rock. I don't give a
- 3:16[ __ ] I don't have a ween, but if I did,
- 3:19you can glory hole it. Sisyphus probably
- 3:22[ __ ] it.
- 3:24I like Baldy though being his own
- 3:25character. I think it's particularly
- 3:27funny cuz it's just like a giant rock
- 3:28with a scraggly smiley face and some
- 3:31skeleton-shaped facial features, which
- 3:33is very, very cute. I'm pretty sure that
- 3:36the artist made this for a bit and it
- 3:38worked out phenomenally in their favor.
- 3:4128. Perfect. Everything down to the last
- 3:45minute. You're annoying. You are
- 3:48annoying.
- 3:50And you are ridiculously stupid as a
- 3:52boss fight and you're stupid.
- 3:55I would not [ __ ] you, good sir. You look
- 3:58like you have every syphilis. I'm like
- 4:0180% sure he's gay anyway. Hey, [ __ ]
- 4:04bottom, [ __ ] Theseus is when we start
- 4:07getting into like the fun of the human
- 4:09designs, right? He's like the boss fight
- 4:13that you fight with bull daddy. So he
- 4:15does have a bit more design than other
- 4:17like uh little characters in the game
- 4:18like the dog and the boulder and [ __ ]
- 4:20He's fun though cuz he looks like a
- 4:21gladiator cuz he is one, but he has like
- 4:24a very almost superhero-esque
- 4:27design in both his body language, facial
- 4:30expression, the shape of his hair, the
- 4:33color scheme, the clothing. He has like
- 4:35the arm bracelets and the [ __ ]
- 4:38armbands on his upper arm. Theseus is
- 4:41actually incredibly funny because he You
- 4:43look at him and you see, "Oh, a hero,
- 4:44right?" And then he talks. Hold, fiend.
- 4:47You'll walk not one more step toward the
- 4:50light of day so long as I am here. And
- 4:52you're like, I want to leave
- 4:53immediately. Okay? He calls you a demon.
- 4:56He looks cocky. He looks like a [ __ ]
- 4:58They did a great job in transmitting
- 5:00that in Hades.
- 5:02Nonsense, my friend. We could defeat
- 5:04this vile hellspawn with or without the
- 5:07additional divine protection we've been
- 5:09granted here.
- 5:10Get him.
- 5:11Yeah, yeah. He looks good and I
- 5:14especially love the laurel crown, like
- 5:16those like little things that they give
- 5:17Greek heroes. And the fact that he has
- 5:19like such a bright color scheme
- 5:20immediately gives me superhero, but then
- 5:22he opens his mouth and I'm done.
- 5:25All right.
- 5:27You [ __ ] [ __ ] sucker. Chill time. Do
- 5:30you want to be a better [ __ ] person
- 5:32than this [ __ ] Go try some G
- 5:34Subs. Get energized. Get focused. Become
- 5:38god gamer so you can beat this deal hole
- 5:41on your first try and then you don't
- 5:42have to deal with him again unless
- 5:43you're doing [ __ ] 50 more runs. But
- 5:45it's okay because you would have had the
- 5:47energy and focus and the pride to know
- 5:50you kicked this dude's bahonky. All you
- 5:52got to do is go to
- 5:53gamersupps.gg/kikimation
- 5:55and or use code kikimation at checkout
- 5:57for 10% off and you can get like good,
- 6:00clean energy that's better than this
- 6:02[ __ ] is.
- 6:03Number 27. So you do know Baldy's just a
- 6:07plain old rock with a few lines chiseled
- 6:09into him resembling a face, don't you?
- 6:11Now, Sisyphus I like quite a bit. I
- 6:13think he's very sweet. He's just not my
- 6:16type specifically. If I'm talking about
- 6:18boning a few Greek gods,
- 6:21yeah, he's not he's not exactly on my
- 6:23radar. But that being said, he's so
- 6:26sweet and he has a very good design.
- 6:29Like isn't Sisyphus' whole thing is that
- 6:31like he's being punished for something I
- 6:34cannot remember his myth by having to
- 6:35push the boulder out of hell. It always
- 6:38rolls down the hill. That's why we call
- 6:40it a Sisyphean task, right? It's
- 6:42something that you can never accomplish
- 6:43or can accomplish with great deal of
- 6:45difficulty. And I think that the
- 6:47designers nailed that vibe. Like he
- 6:48knows he's stuck down here forever. Not
- 6:52only does he have very subdued body
- 6:54language, his shoulders are droopy, his
- 6:56head is tilted to the side, he has a
- 6:57very soft expression, but they also
- 6:59completely like shackled him. He has
- 7:02shackles on his waist, on his arms, big
- 7:06[ __ ] chains everywhere. Like
- 7:07everything about Sisyphus looks super
- 7:09subdued. And he's like a big sweetie
- 7:12because like he knows what his lot in
- 7:13eternity is and his lot in eternity is
- 7:16pushing the rock up the hill. So they
- 7:17did a really, really good job with this.
- 7:18Not to mention they kept the clothes
- 7:19really, really simple, one solid color
- 7:21because he's not nobility or royalty,
- 7:24he's not a god. He's just a poor sap
- 7:27that pissed off the wrong person and now
- 7:29he's here. He's very friendly. He's
- 7:31meant to be friendly. He's
- 7:32friend-shaped. There's not a single hard
- 7:33angle there. Everything is super like
- 7:35sloped and soft and gentle and easy on
- 7:37the eyes. He is royalty, Lily. Well, he
- 7:39was. He was a KING IN LIFE. OH, NOT IN
- 7:42HELL THOUGH. 26.
- 7:47[Music]
- 7:49We don't stick our dick in crazy.
- 7:51We don't finger bang crazy.
- 7:53We don't schlorp crazy [ __ ] chat. We've
- 7:56learned this lesson. We don't do it.
- 7:58Tisiphone, no. No. No. She is very
- 8:03creepy. She also loses points for the
- 8:05face coward. Oh, I'm owning it. I'm an
- 8:07absolute [ __ ] I'm not I'm not [ __ ]
- 8:09that. However, her design is so [ __ ]
- 8:13solid. She has such a good [ __ ] color
- 8:15scheme and a great sense of fluidity,
- 8:17too. She's one of the ones that has like
- 8:19the more erratic movesets in the game
- 8:20and I think that really shows in the
- 8:22design because unlike Meg and uh other
- 8:26sister whose name I usually forget,
- 8:28she's very pointy. Like even her hair is
- 8:30even a little bit a more angular than
- 8:32her sister's. The armor is incredibly
- 8:34pointed and she's like super skeletal,
- 8:38very, very creepy, long thingies, just
- 8:41very bony. She genuinely looks like a
- 8:43skeleton, which I think is part of the
- 8:45point cuz she's insane. Um hello.
- 8:53Very one-track mind, but has such a
- 8:55clean design, like warrior woman,
- 8:58incredibly angular, incredibly creepy.
- 9:00She also has like your typical bad guy
- 9:03color scheme, right? Strong purple and
- 9:04green vibes. This is very like
- 9:06old-school Disney.
- 9:08You can't even say anything other than
- 9:10Yeah, like she's not easy to get along
- 9:12with, which is why I wouldn't [ __ ] it.
- 9:13TO NUMBER 25.
- 9:17I WOW. DUSA. NOW, you guys are going to
- 9:20yell at me cuz I know that we all love
- 9:22Dusa. I find Dusa adorable,
- 9:25but I need more than just a head to play
- 9:27with. If Dusa had the body of the
- 9:31Gorgon, I think I would have ranked her
- 9:32much [ __ ] higher. I love her design.
- 9:35She's adorable, but just a head ain't
- 9:38doing it for me, mama.
- 9:39I don't know how the [ __ ] they managed
- 9:40to make Dusa scream maid with only a
- 9:43head and not actually giving her a maid
- 9:44uniform. Like maybe it's because she has
- 9:46like a very kind, sweet expression even
- 9:49though she's like pointy or the way that
- 9:51her snakes are wrapped around her head
- 9:53or the feather duster, but they nailed
- 9:56it. Even though it's just a head though,
- 9:57like the design is pretty solid. I like
- 9:59the freckles on her that make it make it
- 10:01look like scales. I also really like
- 10:03that she has Voldemort nose. Like her
- 10:05face looks very serpentine, but it's
- 10:07still really cute. And if you actually
- 10:08know the story of the Gorgons, like like
- 10:11Deuce deserves better. I'm sorry. But
- 10:13the design is great because if you know
- 10:15the myth, Perseus actually chopped her
- 10:16head off. So only having the head be in
- 10:18the underworld is actually kind of super
- 10:19fitting. Very, very funny. I do like
- 10:22that she's very friend-shaped despite
- 10:23the fact that she's fairly pointy. Like
- 10:25she has and [ __ ] But like all of the
- 10:27angles of her snake head hair are very
- 10:30soft. Nothing pointy. No snake is
- 10:33rearing up to attack you. Every they're
- 10:35all in like snoodle doodle position.
- 10:37Even like the one on the shadows back
- 10:38there is just like about to flick its
- 10:40tongue out. Nothing super aggressive and
- 10:42that's like the cute thing about Deuce,
- 10:43right? We kept it very round. We kept it
- 10:45very soft. We kept it nicely textured
- 10:48with a little bit of blushy here and
- 10:50there. And it just resulted in a very
- 10:52friend-shaped character. 24.
- 10:54[Laughter]
- 10:57Finally. I've been waiting for this.
- 10:59Really. Now Alecto, I like you, but you
- 11:02are also insane. Alecto's fun though.
- 11:05Like she has definitely one of the the
- 11:06more fun boss fights. Hear me out. Do
- 11:08not know. You know what I like about
- 11:10you? The way you bleed.
- 11:14Alecto though being a Fury, she shares
- 11:15some design aesthetics with the other
- 11:17two Furies. Unlike Meg and Tisiphone,
- 11:21her outfit's like red, but she still has
- 11:24the green highlights and a very similar
- 11:26hair color to the other two Furies.
- 11:28And her armor is also sufficiently
- 11:30pointy. Alecto's incredibly aggressive
- 11:33and I think that the design philosophy
- 11:34shows it really well. Her hair is super
- 11:36pointy. Her armor is super pointy. Her
- 11:39body's also fairly angular. There's a
- 11:41lot of confidence in her smile and
- 11:44insanity in her smile. Like look at that
- 11:46expression. That's a lot. Fangs are
- 11:48pointy. Eyelashes are pointy. She even
- 11:50has pointy eyebrow piercings. Earrings
- 11:53are super pointy. So with Alecto, the
- 11:55main thing they wanted was intensity and
- 11:57it really, really clearly shows, which I
- 11:59love. 23.
- 12:01[Music]
- 12:02Orpheus. Now I like Orphy, but here's
- 12:06the thing about Orphy, right? He would
- 12:08be a terrible [ __ ] because Orphy is hung
- 12:11up on somebody else. Orphy is like still
- 12:14kind of low-key looking for his [ __ ]
- 12:16girlfriend / wife. Yeah, he's Hades's
- 12:19personal musician and he's very sad and
- 12:22he kind of looks like David Bowie. I
- 12:25think that him looking like David Bowie
- 12:27is intentional, but the main reason I
- 12:28would not [ __ ] with Orpheus is because
- 12:30the man is hung up on someone else. Like
- 12:32why would you want that? He also does
- 12:34look very tired and very drained and
- 12:36like I don't think he could enjoy the do
- 12:38unless it was with like the one person
- 12:39he's obsessed with. Like he's not a god
- 12:42either. I think he was a mortal that got
- 12:44trapped in the underworld for [ __ ]
- 12:46All he had to do was not turn around.
- 12:47Idiot. I am obsessed with the instrument
- 12:50though because the instrument is
- 12:51actually the focal point of this
- 12:53character design. It's not Orphy. It's
- 12:55not his face. It's the instrument,
- 12:57right? The instrument is the brightest
- 12:59piece in the picture. It's the main
- 13:00thing that the picture is composed
- 13:02around. It has a ton of faces and fun
- 13:04fact. Fun human fact. The human eye is
- 13:06drawn to faces. So that's usually why in
- 13:09most character design, the focal point
- 13:11of any design is going to be the face.
- 13:13But if you want to actually change the
- 13:15focal point in a way that's a bit more
- 13:16interesting, you can also add faces into
- 13:18the design somewhere. Or stuff that
- 13:19resembles faces. False eyes, false
- 13:22mouths, stuff like that. Your eye will
- 13:23immediately gravitate to it. It's seen
- 13:25it all, chat. Everything. Orphy also has
- 13:29like interestingly enough an incredibly
- 13:30muted color scheme. Except for the
- 13:33[ __ ] instrument. Everything about
- 13:35Orphy is like desaturated and sad and a
- 13:39little bit on the gray side, but the
- 13:41instrument is not. One of the things
- 13:43that gives him joy and vibrancy in his
- 13:45life is music. I think that if they had
- 13:47made the lyre a different color, it
- 13:48would have not made the composition for
- 13:50Orphy quite this interesting. But they
- 13:52actually did super well in making just
- 13:54the lyre the brightest part of the
- 13:56[ __ ] piece. 22, baby.
- 14:01Okay, Karen. I actually put him pretty
- 14:03high up because A, he probably does have
- 14:05a ween, but he just doesn't like to
- 14:06speak. B, his design [ __ ] Like Karen
- 14:10has such a solid fit. I'm sorry, you
- 14:12guys. Like he's the [ __ ] guy who
- 14:15ferries souls into the underworld and
- 14:17like they added so much to his myth in
- 14:19just this design alone. First of all,
- 14:21giant cloak makes him look like a
- 14:22traveler. Second, coins. Everywhere the
- 14:27[ __ ] coins, right? Cuz when you died
- 14:29in ancient Greece, you needed to put two
- 14:31coins on your eyes cuz that was the toll
- 14:33for the ferry of the underworld. All of
- 14:34the elements of the myth are present. He
- 14:37has an oar because he's the ferryman. He
- 14:40has a bag of coins that he collects from
- 14:42the dead and he also has coins
- 14:44everywhere in his design. He's also
- 14:46skeletal and kind of super [ __ ]
- 14:48creepy. And that like smoke coming out
- 14:50of his mouth actually is a great accent
- 14:53to break up the monotony of the outfit
- 14:54because the outfit is mainly black and
- 14:56gold. It's nothing super complicated. In
- 14:59terms of a color scheme, it's like four
- 15:00colors. But the fun thing about Hades is
- 15:03that Hades likes to play with
- 15:04highlights. So we have the purple smoke
- 15:07and then we have red and purple
- 15:08highlights as well, which look really,
- 15:09really dope. So Karen is pretty high up
- 15:11there because the design [ __ ] He has a
- 15:13pimp hat, which I think is pretty cool.
- 15:1521.
- 15:17If you had given due consideration to
- 15:19this matter, then I doubt you would have
- 15:21chosen this outcome. Athena, while she
- 15:24does have a very cool design, she's my
- 15:26least favorite of the Olympic Pantheon.
- 15:29It's pretty? Yes, but there's something
- 15:32about her whole thing that isn't super
- 15:34vibing with me. I do like that the
- 15:37design slaps so [ __ ] hard though.
- 15:38Like the helmet is phenomenal. The owl
- 15:42is adorable. The color scheme is super
- 15:44[ __ ] good. For the god that I want to
- 15:46[ __ ] the least, she has like my favorite
- 15:47ability in the game. That Athena dash is
- 15:49the tits. But the fun thing about Athena
- 15:51is that how military she looks despite
- 15:53the fact that she's like
- 15:55the smart goddess, you know? Owls have
- 15:57always been her thing, so I was really
- 15:58happy to see an owl in her design. A lot
- 16:01of really cool gold elements. Also
- 16:03notice she has a Gorgon on her armor. I
- 16:06do believe that the shield that she is
- 16:08holding is the same one that she gave to
- 16:09Perseus, which The cool thing about the
- 16:12Hades designs is that they tend to tie
- 16:13the myths to the design in some way,
- 16:16which I love. And they also have like a
- 16:18really, really strong understanding of
- 16:21color, which makes it so they can make
- 16:22really weird color schemes. Usually a
- 16:24skin tone like this might not always
- 16:26work because it's really ashy and it can
- 16:28make you look kind of dead. But for
- 16:30Hades though, since we went with such
- 16:32strong high contrast shadows and we're
- 16:34working in terms of like the underworld
- 16:36and things being like dark and broody,
- 16:38these types of color schemes of like
- 16:40very, very desaturated skin tones and
- 16:43very bright gold aspects with like
- 16:45everything else being like kind of
- 16:47muted, it works super well. I don't
- 16:49particularly find this Athena very
- 16:51attractive myself, but it is a cool
- 16:53design and I can absolutely say that
- 16:55with full confidence. 20. I was quite
- 16:58certain that the youth today was lacking
- 17:00any sort of tactfulness. So the main
- 17:02reason I would not bone Demeter is cuz I
- 17:05think that she would freeze off my boot.
- 17:07Demeter, I find her to be a spectacular
- 17:10design, especially if we lean to Demeter
- 17:13being expresso depresso goddess mommy.
- 17:16And again, this all ties to myth, which
- 17:18is phenomenal. But I would not bone the
- 17:20girl because A, too old for me. B, would
- 17:24freeze you. So Demeter is actually the
- 17:26goddess of the harvest. She kind of
- 17:27controls the seasons. And in Hades,
- 17:30Demeter doesn't know where Persephone
- 17:32is.
- 17:33And in the myth, when Persephone is with
- 17:36Hades, it is winter because Demeter gets
- 17:38so [ __ ] depressed that she [ __ ]
- 17:40kills everything. So it's implied in
- 17:42Hades that Demeter has basically made
- 17:45Greece go into something akin to an
- 17:46eternal winter for a hot minute. So I
- 17:48think that the Hades team did a
- 17:50phenomenal job with her with tying it to
- 17:52the [ __ ] myth, right? Cuz not only
- 17:54does she have harvest elements, but
- 17:57they're destroyed. They're frozen.
- 17:59Frozen stalks of wheat make a halo with
- 18:02a snowflake in the middle. Snowflake
- 18:04motifs all around her. Cold, cold
- 18:07[ __ ] outfit. A cape that looks like
- 18:10falling snow. A harvesting a basket that
- 18:13is frozen and empty. And some nice,
- 18:15really nice red accents on top that
- 18:17showed that perhaps before her outfit
- 18:20was much brighter. 19.
- 18:23Poseidon.
- 18:25Leave the sea and face me. Poseidon's
- 18:28design is baller,
- 18:30but his attitude annoys me. So how is
- 18:33crusty old Hades faring down there of
- 18:35late, nephew? I despise the beach [ __ ]
- 18:38boy, I don't care about anything
- 18:39attitude. Take something seriously for
- 18:41once in your life. But Poseidon is
- 18:43responsible for so much [ __ ] Your
- 18:46son is cooler than you, Poseidon. Wait,
- 18:48you don't like the server boy attitude?
- 18:49There's two types of attitudes that I
- 18:51personally cannot stand. The [ __ ]
- 18:53surfer boy attitude and like [ __ ]
- 18:56giga stoner attitude. I am a person with
- 18:59a lot of drive and a lot of motivation
- 19:01to do things, so I take things pretty
- 19:03seriously when I'm passionate about
- 19:04them. And people like that take nothing
- 19:06seriously. Ergo, we're going to clash.
- 19:09Think about me. I get along with
- 19:11everybody here. A skill apparently
- 19:13that's rather rare. I think that Zeus
- 19:15might be worse than him in terms of
- 19:17[ __ ] everything that moves.
- 19:19Design-wise though, it slaps. He doesn't
- 19:22have a very elaborate design for a god,
- 19:24but I don't mind it all because like the
- 19:25standout for Poseidon needs to be the
- 19:28trident and the water element. His hair
- 19:31is basically resembles flowing water,
- 19:34which is super [ __ ] cool. And the
- 19:36trident is actually within the same
- 19:38lines of color scheme as the hair, so it
- 19:40kind of flows together really, really
- 19:41nicely. He has like a very simple like
- 19:44tunic tied around his waist with like a
- 19:47seashell and wave motif and that's it
- 19:48and like a stole and one bracelet,
- 19:51right? And some Greek like he doesn't
- 19:53have a very complex design, but he
- 19:54doesn't need it, right? He's like the
- 19:56most like nature-adjacent god out of all
- 19:59of them. So, for me, I feel like
- 20:01Poseidon dressed in anything fancier
- 20:03than this would make no sense. In a way,
- 20:05even though I don't find it attractive,
- 20:07the surfer bro personality is kind of
- 20:10perfect. It really ties into that like
- 20:12very laid-back kind of design that he
- 20:14has. He just does not give a [ __ ] I
- 20:16love the bubbles in his hair. Just in
- 20:18general, the fact that his hair looks
- 20:19and feels like flowing water was an
- 20:21amazing design detail. Yeah, his color
- 20:23palette is very much like the ocean.
- 20:24It's sea green in the hair and very like
- 20:27sand-colored on the outfit details. A
- 20:30lot of blue highlights, which I love to
- 20:32see. So, yeah. It's really fun to see
- 20:35the surfer dude personality even
- 20:37reflected in the body language to
- 20:39Poseidon. So, yeah. Not my type, very
- 20:42fun dude, though. I'd split a gummy with
- 20:43Poseidon. You would get stoned with
- 20:45Poseidon. Aquatic exercise. 18. This is
- 20:49just like me [ __ ] self-reporting on
- 20:50my taste. What happened? My list says
- 20:53you got killed by a redacted? What's
- 20:55that even mean? Now, Hypnos I like and
- 20:57he low-key gives me rat man vibe, but
- 21:00why do I feel like he would fall asleep
- 21:02halfway through? Like he would bust his
- 21:04nut, fall asleep on you, and then that's
- 21:06it. He's done. He doesn't care anymore.
- 21:08Cuz he would. He would. That being said,
- 21:12like his drip is so [ __ ] good. I'm
- 21:13sorry. I love the [ __ ] cape that
- 21:17looks like a duvet and the [ __ ]
- 21:19outfit that looks like sheets. Hypnos is
- 21:22the pillow princess of the cast.
- 21:23>> Oh, yeah. You're going to have to do all
- 21:25the work and he will fall asleep halfway
- 21:26through. They won't catch me sleeping on
- 21:28the job again. Like this is like for me
- 21:30the perfect design for something that
- 21:32shows that like you're the
- 21:33representation of sleep. Cuz he looks
- 21:35like a bed without being a bed. Like the
- 21:38top part of the design is almost like
- 21:40the bed frame. His cape is like the
- 21:42duvet. The under robe is the sheets.
- 21:46And like he has such cool highlights and
- 21:48details. So, he's wearing a sleep mask.
- 21:51And I think that's such a clever way to
- 21:52make a character that's like designed to
- 21:53be sleep incarnate, you know? The coat
- 21:56does become a sleeping bag. Yeah, he can
- 21:58sleep in that. It's a very clever bit of
- 22:00design that greatly resembles a bed
- 22:02without being a bed. One of the reasons
- 22:04why you guys haven't heard me talk about
- 22:05date everything is because I do not like
- 22:06the designs, okay? I'm not going to lie
- 22:08to you guys. I do not like them. I don't
- 22:10think that they're well-realized. And
- 22:11part of the reason why I don't think
- 22:12that they're well-realized is because
- 22:14they are dead ass so on the nose that
- 22:17they lose theme.
- 22:18You There has to be some subtlety when
- 22:21you're using a theme for a design
- 22:23because if you don't use it, it's going
- 22:25to be super distracting to look at. I
- 22:27think that Hypnos is a great example of
- 22:28taking a very strong theme and running
- 22:31with it, but not running it into the
- 22:33ground.
- 22:3417.
- 22:35Wait, you're not You're not thinking
- 22:37about having more children, are you?
- 22:40No.
- 22:41You're plenty.
- 22:43Persephone, while again, banger design
- 22:46because the designs in Hades are banger,
- 22:48I not go for Persephone because I don't
- 22:52particularly think that she would be
- 22:53very interested in that [ __ ] Again, I
- 22:55think that she would be cool with Hades
- 22:57and maybe Nyx, and that's about it.
- 22:59Persephone doesn't strike me as the type
- 23:01of person to care very much for other
- 23:05people except for like immediate family.
- 23:07Does that make sense? Design-wise, her
- 23:09hair drives me nuts. I knew that they
- 23:11way that we had to make her resemble Zag
- 23:13somehow, but giving her them the exact
- 23:16same hairstyle on top, it just makes her
- 23:18look very weird. It's not my favorite.
- 23:21Which one do you prefer on her? The This
- 23:23one or the queen one? I prefer the queen
- 23:24one because I It ties everything
- 23:26together and the hair also doesn't look
- 23:27quite as uh
- 23:29weird.
- 23:30The hair on the bottom is fine, but the
- 23:32top of the hair, and the only reason
- 23:34they made it look like that is so she
- 23:35would resemble Zag more, which you don't
- 23:37actually need to do that to make him
- 23:39resemble her more so long as you give
- 23:40them similar facial features. It's not
- 23:42It's not impossible, but the problem is
- 23:45that they decided to do it with the hair
- 23:46and it looks hella awkward. The thing I
- 23:49like about Persephone though is that she
- 23:50looks like a mom. She doesn't look Well,
- 23:53actually, no.
- 23:54Do I like that? Part of me likes it and
- 23:57part of me doesn't like it. Let me
- 23:58explain. Part of me likes it because
- 24:00it's also It's really, really cool to
- 24:01see older women in media, especially
- 24:04attractive older women, but the other
- 24:06part of me doesn't like it because these
- 24:08are gods. They're supposed to be
- 24:09ageless, timeless. Like Same The same
- 24:11could go for Demeter. She did not have
- 24:13to look as old as she does.
- 24:14So, I do wish that she was a little bit
- 24:17younger-looking, but at the same time I
- 24:18do not mind it because seeing older
- 24:20women in media is always appreciated. I
- 24:22do love the fact that she also kind of
- 24:25fits that like very spring vibe. Super
- 24:28cute. 16. THE DICK MAN HIMSELF.
- 24:33WOOHOO! LET'S GO GET SOME FREE CRAP.
- 24:35>> Hermes is a
- 24:38He also has the only full body sprite
- 24:41out of all of the [ __ ] characters in
- 24:43Hades. Fun fact, the rest of the sprites
- 24:45that I've shown you guys, yeah, not full
- 24:48body. They don't exist. I'm conflicted
- 24:50about you, Hermes, cuz your color scheme
- 24:52is banger. Your design is phenomenal.
- 24:54You have some of the best boons in the
- 24:56game, but do you have to be like this?
- 24:58Normally, I wouldn't get mixed up, but
- 24:59for you, I'll be making an exception.
- 25:01>> He's like, "I love myself, but I don't
- 25:03like the way that I am." Why are you
- 25:04dissing Junpei's persona? Oh, you mean
- 25:06the dude that was like [ __ ] busting a
- 25:07move in front of like Yosuke's
- 25:08girlfriend. Super fun, bright color
- 25:10scheme, got to go fast, love the
- 25:12scepter, love the shoes, love the
- 25:14absolutely smarmy For the portion,
- 25:16cousin. No one asks too many questions
- 25:18about me or my professional associates
- 25:20down there. I hand sales over to him,
- 25:21and that's it. You understand?
- 25:23Smog. [ __ ] piece of [ __ ] face that he
- 25:27has, chat. I like that he's like
- 25:29collecting trinkets cuz he can like give
- 25:31stuff to you, which is very, very funny.
- 25:33And I really like the action line for
- 25:34him specifically because it flows from
- 25:36like the top of his scarf all the way
- 25:38down to his foot, and it's so fun. Give
- 25:41it up for 15, baby. Here, let me offer
- 25:44you some fine new boons as well as Lord
- 25:47Dionysus here, who I'm sure would love
- 25:49to talk your ear off just as much as
- 25:51mine. Hey there, Zag man. Nice. Artemis
- 25:55has a really baller design. I think that
- 25:57she's pretty cute. I've seen her do some
- 25:59petty [ __ ] [ __ ] in the game, mama. If
- 26:01you don't pick her in those like rooms
- 26:03with like the dual gods, she's like, Oh,
- 26:06look. Turns out it's time for target
- 26:08practice once again. Start running,
- 26:10Zagreus. And she [ __ ] comes for your
- 26:12wig. Artemis has no chill whatsoever. If
- 26:16you look at her funny, she will snipe
- 26:17you or turn you into a hamster. I don't
- 26:20think that she would be the best fit.
- 26:21Design-wise, I love her. She has an
- 26:24incredibly clever design. I love the
- 26:26antlers. I love the green. I love the
- 26:28pheasants on the bow and the [ __ ]
- 26:30giant quiver. I like the fact that her
- 26:33color scheme is primarily cool-toned
- 26:35minus the stole around her neck, which
- 26:37is very, very warm. She has a very stern
- 26:39expression and a lot of hair. And uh in
- 26:42general, she just does look like the
- 26:44goddess of the hunt. She does. Like she
- 26:47looks like she's going to go out and
- 26:48she's going to go [ __ ] kill 50 deer,
- 26:50offer them all to the moon cuz yes, and
- 26:53not give you a bite. She also has like
- 26:55an incredibly athletic figure even
- 26:56though she's not super muscular, which
- 26:58is also fun to see. Her headpiece is
- 27:00basically the phases of the moon and
- 27:02antlers. It's actually stunning. She
- 27:05also has like war paint on her face.
- 27:07Super [ __ ] pretty. And I genuinely
- 27:10love her vibe. Great flow, great
- 27:12composition, great color scheme,
- 27:14beautiful face. And I just really again,
- 27:17I love this about Hades that like how
- 27:19stern the shadows are. So, yeah. Very
- 27:22beautiful. Would not bone because I feel
- 27:24like she would feed me to a wolf. Fine.
- 27:26I'm not angry anymore.
- 27:28Not really, anyway.
- 27:30But you just watch yourself with me. You
- 27:32got it? 14. ARES.
- 27:36You got your first triangle of the
- 27:37night, but folks, Ares is incredibly
- 27:41incredibly attractive, okay? Like mama,
- 27:45oh.
- 27:46What is that jawline?
- 27:48Giant hand. It's [ __ ] Oh my god. He's
- 27:51so pretty. And like he's like
- 27:54finger-banging his blade like sensually
- 27:56while looking at you. Like I trust the
- 27:58violence I have wrought on your behalf
- 27:59has been quite satisfactory. Ah. The
- 28:02cool thing about Ares' outfit is that
- 28:04even though he's wearing like a Greek
- 28:07military uniform, it still absolutely
- 28:10feels like a god. Cuz he has like the
- 28:13amazing kind of like bird beaks in
- 28:16detail in the middle of the chest plate.
- 28:18He's not wearing his helmet cuz he's
- 28:20like, "Nah, [ __ ] it. I don't need it."
- 28:21His cape is actually super [ __ ]
- 28:23shredded, tattered, but very imposing.
- 28:26My man has three swords and he's going
- 28:28to use every single one of these. Oh, he
- 28:29probably fights like Zoro. There's got
- 28:31to be a reason Aphrodite is good with
- 28:32him. Yeah, that reason is the dick.
- 28:35The white strip of face paint is such a
- 28:37high point of contrast. It makes him
- 28:38look so [ __ ] good. There's a few
- 28:40things that they could have done to make
- 28:41him very, very striking, but to make him
- 28:43very, very striking in the face when he
- 28:44already has very, very bright accents on
- 28:46his blade is uh high contrast, right?
- 28:49So, giving him the white war paint
- 28:52immediately draws the eye to his face.
- 28:54Yeah, he looks like a vulture. He has
- 28:56like feathered uh [ __ ] spikes on his
- 28:58armor, on his pauldrons, which looks
- 29:00super intense. But there's something
- 29:03very intense about his gaze in general.
- 29:05Like if he was naked, I think he would
- 29:07look just as intimidating because of his
- 29:10expression and the way that he's like
- 29:12drawn very intensely. But yeah, the face
- 29:14paint is a great point of high contrast
- 29:16and really, really good use of red
- 29:17accents all throughout this design.
- 29:20Instead of like just relying on the
- 29:22highlights that they like to use, like
- 29:23the brightly colored highlights with the
- 29:24really, really dark shadows, they
- 29:25decided to play with accents and it
- 29:27really paid off. Ah, yes. Ares, the guy
- 29:30who was trapped in a jar and had to be
- 29:32rescued.
- 29:32>> In a jar?
- 29:33>> Got and that was in one of his myths.
- 29:35Did he get like put in the jar? 13.
- 29:42Eris Eris. Uh she has a phenomenal
- 29:45design, but I feel like she would give
- 29:46me splinters. I'm sorry, chat. She
- 29:48might. But also, design-wise, she does
- 29:51deserve this.
- 29:53This is one of the most creative designs
- 29:57in Hades. They outdid themselves. Not
- 30:00only because like she's kind of like a
- 30:02nymph, forest spirit, whatever, but look
- 30:04at the color scheme. Look at the
- 30:06details. The fact that like her hair
- 30:09resembles a tree, she has acorns on her
- 30:12belt that ties the tree motif together.
- 30:14She is also one of the most brightly
- 30:16dressed characters in Hades.
- 30:19Like the sunny yellows and the bright
- 30:21greens and like the jewel-toned purples
- 30:23and pinks, it looks so good. And then if
- 30:25you zoom in, there's so many cool little
- 30:27details on her. The tattoos that look
- 30:29like tree bark, the tambourine, super
- 30:33cool and uh plant motifs everywhere, the
- 30:35plant earrings, like the very bright
- 30:37eyebrows. She's very, very, very, very
- 30:40talented musician, great singer. And
- 30:41this is Orpheus' ex-girlfriend, no? The
- 30:44cool thing about Eurydice is that she
- 30:46has like a really fun and quirky design.
- 30:49She definitely looks like a
- 30:50rule-breaker. You find her in like a
- 30:51very weird place in the Underworld that
- 30:52like it used to not be set on fire, but
- 30:54now it is set on fire. Not ex-still his
- 30:56wife. Oh, well, then how Why how how
- 30:57come they haven't found each other?
- 30:59Idiots. Estranged. Ah. Yeah, Orpheus
- 31:02[ __ ] it up. He looks behind them.
- 31:03Yeah, she's his muse. She very much
- 31:05looks like someone who could be
- 31:06someone's muse. It's a very wild outfit,
- 31:08but like very well put together
- 31:10regardless. So, it's a very cool design.
- 31:12I definitely give this one props for how
- 31:14creative IT IS. NUMBER 12.
- 31:20NOW, WHY THE [ __ ] IS CHAOS SO HIGH UP
- 31:22THERE, LILLY? They are similar to me and
- 31:25the design is Eldritch perfection.
- 31:29So weird and so insane and so [ __ ]
- 31:33vaguely threatening that it just makes
- 31:35my little [ __ ] baby pink pink heart
- 31:37go
- 31:38[Music]
- 31:40I adore Chaos. They're not even dressed.
- 31:45The main thing I like is that it's a
- 31:46mainly white design,
- 31:49but the pops of color in it are so
- 31:51bright that they're impossible to miss.
- 31:53So, like he has an eye as an almost
- 31:55halo. He has red details everywhere,
- 31:58plant life, animal life, humans, beasts,
- 32:02weird [ __ ] intestinal things growing
- 32:05out of things that they're not supposed
- 32:06to, elegant jewelry, very, very refined
- 32:09[ __ ] facial features, wings on his
- 32:11head. Like Chaos is one of the most
- 32:13interesting character designs they have
- 32:15in Hades and I'm kind of obsessed with
- 32:16it. Where ween? He can grow 50 weens,
- 32:19chat. That's the beauty of it. And he's
- 32:21also holding uh the planet like a
- 32:23[ __ ] marble, which only tells you the
- 32:25scope and scale of this [ __ ]
- 32:27Like Chaos is huge. We're lucky he's
- 32:29even in a vaguely humanoid face. So,
- 32:31yeah, Chaos is one of like the ones I
- 32:33consider tippy-toppy and would
- 32:35absolutely go at it. I don't give a [ __ ]
- 32:36how I don't know. I'll figure it out.
- 32:38Number 11. We're getting to the
- 32:39tippy-tops now, chat. We are. Like I
- 32:41think the triangle is going to come out
- 32:42in every single one of these now cuz I'm
- 32:43in love. A noble victory. Patroclus is
- 32:46very, very pretty, but very, very sad.
- 32:48He's just sitting there being a sad
- 32:50being, melting into the plants. A sad
- 32:53man, but with a great fit. I don't know
- 32:55why he's so sad and I think I forgot to
- 32:58finish his quest in the game, but he is
- 33:00SUPER SAD GAY.
- 33:02OH, IT'S BECAUSE OF ACHILLES. OKAY. HE
- 33:03DOESN'T swing my way, but that doesn't
- 33:05mean I can't appreciate him, chat. He's
- 33:07in paradise, but not allowed to be there
- 33:08with his boyfriend. Poor Achilles.
- 33:10Design-wise, he also has something
- 33:12similar to uh Theseus. He's a very much
- 33:14warrior-coded one, but he's a little bit
- 33:17better dressed. He has his cape that has
- 33:20like a really, really big gold pin on
- 33:21it. A very simple pauldron and he does
- 33:25have like the leather-strapped armor,
- 33:27but it's
- 33:28way less bulky than other Greek heroes
- 33:32that we've seen. Like with Ares,
- 33:34it was definitely way more hefty. With
- 33:37Patroclus, it's a lot more chill. He has
- 33:39the hero's wreath on his head, which is
- 33:41very, very cute, but he's actually
- 33:44fairly not ornamented for someone of
- 33:47like his renown. Amazing color scheme,
- 33:50really ties it into the depression. But
- 33:52like he's in Elysium, so he's like has
- 33:54one of the nicer sprites. And now And
- 33:56now we've made it to the top 10. How
- 34:01hard is chat going to judge me? I can't
- 34:04wait.
- 34:07Why is Zeus in the top 10? Cuz he's a
- 34:09dilf. Zeus was a hard placement, but you
- 34:12guys want to know why I put him in my
- 34:14top 10?
- 34:15Because the design [ __ ] so [ __ ]
- 34:17hard. I'm sorry. It's too good. I am
- 34:20sorry, but this is the type of [ __ ]
- 34:22Zeus is awesome. Thank you, Apollo. This
- 34:23is the type of silver fox that I want to
- 34:25[ __ ] get into or have be or be into
- 34:28me, mama. And we all know that he [ __ ]
- 34:30everything, so he'll be great in bed
- 34:32regardless, okay?
- 34:35Fun thing about Zeus is that his design
- 34:38slaps so [ __ ] hard. Like they cooked.
- 34:43Composition, color scheme, design
- 34:46elements. The [ __ ] beard becomes
- 34:48[ __ ]
- 34:49clouds. That's so [ __ ] baller. Like
- 34:52he has a big thunderbolt, thunderbolts
- 34:55on his [ __ ] crown. Big gold bracelets
- 34:58and rings and his He's also super
- 35:00[ __ ]
- 35:02He's so [ __ ] Do not [ __ ] Zeus.
- 35:04There's like dozens of you guys saying
- 35:05why that's a bad idea. No. He's hitting
- 35:07that hip dip, mama.
- 35:08He looks like a [ __ ] and I'm so down
- 35:11for it, chat. He's also ripped with like
- 35:13a super stern expression. Bright cold
- 35:15eyes. Are you [ __ ] me? That's
- 35:17beautiful. Man [ __ ] pimpilicious, the
- 35:20stormy sky himself and but gold and
- 35:23shining and beautiful. I did not hear
- 35:26the triangle. Oh, yeah, my mistake.
- 35:27Sorry. Uh uh
- 35:30He is the red flag. I love parades.
- 35:33Number nine. Wait.
- 35:35Why are you looking at me like that?
- 35:36Shut up already, Zagreus. Come here.
- 35:41God, Megaera has a good design. So, the
- 35:43reason Meg isn't higher up on this list,
- 35:45Meg is probably the prettiest out of all
- 35:48three Furies and also the one that has
- 35:50the least amount of intensity when it
- 35:52comes to design. She's still like
- 35:53angular
- 35:55and pointy and very, very stern, but
- 35:59there's a bit more softness there. Her
- 36:01face is a little bit softer, her pose a
- 36:03little bit softer, her clothing has a
- 36:06bit more color and a little bit less of
- 36:08that like bright green villainous
- 36:10highlight that Alecto and Tisiphone
- 36:13have. She still has a very stern
- 36:15expression, incredibly so, but she
- 36:18genuinely seems kinder than the other
- 36:20two Furies. She has a great voice as
- 36:22well, kind of raspy. You should have
- 36:24seen the look on your face.
- 36:26You act a lot more confidently now.
- 36:28Though, I think deep down you're still
- 36:30that inexperienced little godling that
- 36:31you used to be. Very sexy. Hair is
- 36:34awesome. The flow of the entire concept
- 36:37is great. I would absolutely bone Meg.
- 36:40Yes, but I feel like it would take a
- 36:41long time to woo her if that makes
- 36:43sense. Like she seems like she would
- 36:44play hard to get for a long time.
- 36:47I just want to see you squirm. Can Meg
- 36:49[ __ ] the protagonist? Yeah, she can [ __ ]
- 36:50Zag.
- 36:55Wow. I love her face. I also really like
- 36:59that unlike the other Furies, there's a
- 37:01way bigger emphasis on gold in her
- 37:04design than there is for the other two.
- 37:07And this is probably because she has a
- 37:08stronger proximity to Zag and to Hades,
- 37:11being like his ex and all. So, she
- 37:14definitely has like a warmer design
- 37:15compared to the other two Furies, but
- 37:18she's still in uniform. And that makes
- 37:20sense. Number eight.
- 37:22Hades. I uh yeah, I have a problem,
- 37:26okay?
- 37:28Look, look, look. The boss fight was
- 37:31phenomenal and he has like one of the
- 37:34strongest silhouettes by far. He's aura
- 37:38farming. He's daddy issues incarnate and
- 37:41I want to get in on that. You're better
- 37:44off. Dad of the dead, indeed, mama. He's
- 37:47built like a brick [ __ ] He has an
- 37:50amazing beard. He's ooky spooky, but
- 37:53like also he doesn't know how to talk
- 37:55about his feelings. But men. You're
- 37:57really blaming me for not minding the
- 37:59dog while I was out and while you all
- 38:01were here.
- 38:03I lay the blame entirely upon you. Yes.
- 38:06Who else? Like this is the reason why
- 38:08this game is happening, by the way,
- 38:09because butt men. Unfortunately, Hades
- 38:12would not [ __ ] anyone that isn't
- 38:13Persephone or maybe Nyx. I would
- 38:16absolutely take the [ __ ] death daddy
- 38:18for a spin if I could, chat. The cool
- 38:20thing about Hades, right, is that he is
- 38:22probably the most ornamented of all of
- 38:26the three big Greek gods. He is also the
- 38:28god of wealth and the earth. So, he is
- 38:31loaded.
- 38:32>> Yeah, yeah, that might be part of the
- 38:33reason why he's the most ornamented one.
- 38:35I think it also ties to funeral
- 38:37offerings, how people [ __ ] leave
- 38:39things for their loved ones, trinkets,
- 38:41jewelry, and whatnot. So, Hades having
- 38:43the most amount of bling makes so much
- 38:45sense to me. I also really like all of
- 38:48these skeleton motifs on him, like the
- 38:50skeleton pauldron, the one on his belt.
- 38:52And if you guys notice, his actual
- 38:54symbol is present in his design. Like
- 38:57that arm bracelet he has is like his
- 39:00symbol, but with a ruby in the middle.
- 39:02His mustache is his symbol inverted. He
- 39:06also has incredibly bright colors, much
- 39:09like everyone who's close to Zag. So,
- 39:11bright red, bright [ __ ] like red and
- 39:14yellow on his [ __ ] crown. Very, very
- 39:17fun design, definitely super dynamic.
- 39:20One of the more fun boss fights I I had
- 39:22in the game. Was he easy to beat? No.
- 39:24You are a fool.
- 39:26Number seven.
- 39:29GET DESTROYED. YES, I WANT THE BULL.
- 39:35I am furry trash and that [ __ ] thing
- 39:38looks like a hell of a good time.
- 39:40Handlebars. I'm hanging on for dear
- 39:43life, mama.
- 39:45This minimal
- 39:47is for Lily. It's just cuz the horns are
- 39:50pink. No, it's because I I like big buff
- 39:54ball daddy. I'm sorry, I'm furry trash.
- 39:56What can I say? He would want you like
- 39:58chewing gum. Please. The only problem is
- 40:00that he would probably invite Theseus.
- 40:02Go to the [ __ ] chair, Theseus.
- 40:05Great egg what you, mama. Asterius is a
- 40:08dope design though. My favorite
- 40:10highlights in the game when it comes to
- 40:11color because hello pink. He also
- 40:13matches in his outfit with Theseus, but
- 40:16like his shirt part of the outfit is on
- 40:19the other side. It's the same uniform
- 40:21though. And he has like the red, white,
- 40:23and blue. A lot more pink in his design
- 40:25as well. He's also huge. I am just
- 40:27obsessed with that bull dick chat. I'm
- 40:28sorry, I don't have any excuse. I like
- 40:30it. It's imposing and it's intimidating
- 40:32and like I would very much like to grab
- 40:34onto those horns for dear life. So yeah,
- 40:36I love Asterius. He's [ __ ] dope,
- 40:39great design. Pink bull bull daddy eat.
- 40:42I don't know whether I'm helping you OR
- 40:43NOT. NUMBER SIX. Have you ever seen a
- 40:45man so beautiful that like
- 40:48It's Achilles. But my heart belongs to
- 40:50another. I hope you understand. He's so
- 40:52pretty though. Achilles is one of the
- 40:54few [ __ ] characters that despite the
- 40:56fact that he's fairly close to Zag, he
- 40:59has a very desaturated color palette.
- 41:01And I think it's because he's meant to
- 41:03be in Elysium with his boyfriend. Does
- 41:06he ride a tiger? He can ride me if he
- 41:07wants. [ __ ] like Achilles is pretty.
- 41:10Have you seen Brad Pitt as Achilles in
- 41:11Troy? Yes. Yes, I saw it. Yes, I did.
- 41:15That was a good one.
- 41:17Might be bi, but definitely not
- 41:19straight. Neither am I. We love a bicon.
- 41:21He's so [ __ ] pretty. He has a great
- 41:24[ __ ] flow to his design. His hair is
- 41:26spectacular. He has superhero vibes and
- 41:29he has superhero outfits. So like the
- 41:32like headband and the jewelry, the
- 41:34leather arm braces, the really beautiful
- 41:38spear. He has the Hades family logo on
- 41:40his cape, which is really nice. He also
- 41:42doesn't have a shirt. He has like his
- 41:44cape, which is pretty fancy, and then
- 41:46like the wrap and his tunic. And that's
- 41:48it. He doesn't need more. Like Achilles
- 41:50is definitely like one of those like
- 41:51less is more when it comes to character
- 41:53design cuz he's so [ __ ] pretty. Look
- 41:55at his heel and he moans like a [ __ ]
- 41:56If he just goes he just goes
- 41:59and then he dies. It's time for top
- 42:01five. I thought of a plan. It's
- 42:04Okay, you cannot deny that this boy is
- 42:08drop-dead gorgeous, bicon, absolute
- 42:11[ __ ] unit of a fighter, super [ __ ]
- 42:14pretty, like uh Dorito body. Like he
- 42:17takes after his dad and his mom in the
- 42:19the best ways. He has like a [ __ ]
- 42:21almost inverted design to Hades in every
- 42:23single way cuz like the cool thing about
- 42:26Zag is he doesn't have that much gold or
- 42:29ornamentation cuz he doesn't want it. He
- 42:31has the mom's hair. He has the autumn
- 42:34leaf flower crown, which is gorgeous.
- 42:36And he has, I believe, hopefully, the
- 42:39[ __ ] past Cerberus on his shoulder,
- 42:41which is a great design element to show
- 42:44that he's prince of the underworld. He
- 42:45doesn't have like a big bone pauldron
- 42:47like dad with gold, but he does have
- 42:49three dog heads on his [ __ ] shoulder.
- 42:51He also has three skeletons on his belt.
- 42:54He has the same color scheme as Hades,
- 42:56just bright red with some black, but
- 42:58less a lot less jewelry. And he also has
- 43:00an eye color for each parent. You can
- 43:01tell that Zag was one of the first
- 43:04characters that they designed,
- 43:05especially with like this type of
- 43:07shading in mind. He has like some of the
- 43:09more simple but very clean-cut block
- 43:12shading because every single other fit
- 43:15design god in the game has elements that
- 43:20he could also have. They all have the
- 43:22blocked-out shading, very severe [ __ ]
- 43:25angles, the Greek drip, the very like
- 43:28otherworldly presence. And I think that
- 43:30for Zag, making him a way more subdued
- 43:33version of what Hades is wearing is a
- 43:35great fit because he's actively fighting
- 43:37against his father at this point. He's
- 43:40fighting his nature. He's fighting what
- 43:41he is. So, for Zagreus,
- 43:45it's really cool to see him having such
- 43:48a strong design right out of the gate.
- 43:50And that's why he's the MC and that's
- 43:52why he's IN TOP FIVE. NUMBER FOUR, BABY.
- 43:56IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER?
- 44:00Thanatos in this game is probably at
- 44:03like one of my my second favorite design
- 44:06because holy [ __ ] that's good [ __ ] He
- 44:10is the Grim Reaper. He is death. He is
- 44:14beautiful,
- 44:15Dorito body with a phenomenal color
- 44:18scheme, a goded weapon, and broody, and
- 44:22also kind of little bit bisexual. I'd
- 44:24say we know quite a bit by now, all
- 44:25things considered. Isn't that right,
- 44:27Megara? Can't you see we're off duty
- 44:29right now, Zagreus? Wow. Skulls
- 44:32everywhere, beautiful gold jewelry, a
- 44:35stare that [ __ ] gives no [ __ ] He
- 44:38will absolutely gank you. He's just
- 44:40great. Zag bottoms for this [ __ ] He
- 44:43has to. I'm sorry. Than is just giving
- 44:45just broody top. What are you waiting
- 44:47for? I'm here.
- 44:49Already.
- 44:51Right?
- 44:55Wow. He's He's sex. I'm sorry, he's
- 44:57great. Look The ribs are doing things.
- 44:59Look Look at the musculature. Let me
- 45:01zoom in a little bit. So you guys can
- 45:02like UH UH
- 45:04MAN NIPPLE. APPRECIATE, PLEASE. The uh
- 45:08Pale gold eyes do something to me. A
- 45:11great voice. Do you like me, Zagreus?
- 45:15I never thought I
- 45:17don't know why that sounds so strange
- 45:19coming from you. A [ __ ] phenomenal
- 45:21design. He has history with the MC and
- 45:24he would probably [ __ ] like he'd like
- 45:26death is coming for you CUZ IT IS. AH.
- 45:29It's so good. It's so good, I'm going to
- 45:32cry. It's so pretty.
- 45:34I'm sorry. Like if my main audience
- 45:37wasn't like straight dudes,
- 45:39Than would have gotten a comic like a
- 45:40year ago.
- 45:41I could do that one. I could do that one
- 45:43probably maybe someday. Mama, top three.
- 45:47Okay. Hey there, Zag man. Nice [ __ ]
- 45:52[Music]
- 45:54Yeah.
- 45:56I'm sorry, I have no chill. Dionysus is
- 45:59uh my favorite of the boys uh
- 46:03because it looks like the drunkest,
- 46:06sloppiest,
- 46:09most mating pressing is is sex in the
- 46:12universe. He is a slot. He looks
- 46:16phenomenal. Oh my god, I agree. I agree.
- 46:19NO, BACCHUS GETS IT. THIS dude would
- 46:22[ __ ] pour wine on you and lick it off
- 46:25and get drunk and then [ __ ] you and then
- 46:28do it again once the hangover like he
- 46:30wakes up hangover and no way like we
- 46:31connectamos. And he's so pretty. I also
- 46:35love the [ __ ] tacky leopard print on
- 46:37the cape. It's 10 out of 10. Not only
- 46:40that, but he has like one of the [ __ ]
- 46:42most fun like boons in the game and his
- 46:45color scheme is just so [ __ ] It's
- 46:48like purple. It's purple and like smoky
- 46:52and sexy and like backlit and [ __ ] AND
- 46:56AH. Dionysus is like it's a crime to
- 47:00have a man this attractive in this game.
- 47:02I feel really too much for me sometimes,
- 47:04you know that?
- 47:05>> The thigh strap was unnecessary.
- 47:08No, it wasn't. I want to take it off
- 47:10with my teeth. And like the balances of
- 47:13the different tones of purple in his
- 47:14scheme from like the dark of his hair to
- 47:16the like vibrancy of the grapes, the
- 47:19bright one in the smoke, and then like
- 47:20the more like lavender, violet, light
- 47:23tone one in his like toga. Uh.
- 47:26I'm going to barf. He's too pretty.
- 47:28Orpheus is what I'm saying. So am I.
- 47:30He's too pretty. His design is [ __ ]
- 47:32rock solid and he lives drunk. This
- 47:35would be the most fun sex you'll ever
- 47:36have.
- 47:38My top two.
- 47:39[Music]
- 47:50Naked and pink and thriving.
- 47:54God, this woman, okay? This woman, her
- 47:59voice, her cadence. I have to say you're
- 48:03quite the specimen. And so, I've decided
- 48:06I shall aid you for the moment.
- 48:08You interested? The [ __ ] design, the
- 48:11body language, the fact that THEY MADE
- 48:14HER BUTT naked and she owns it, mama.
- 48:17She is perfection. She is amazing. She's
- 48:22beauty incarnate. I love her. I love the
- 48:26fact that her hair makes hearts. I love
- 48:29that she's just beautifully pink and
- 48:31gorgeous. I like that she barely wears
- 48:33anything except for jewelry. That is
- 48:34like one of the sexiest things that you
- 48:36can do. Things is have a woman who's
- 48:39just wearing jewelry and nothing else.
- 48:41Also, they did great because they gave
- 48:42her like mint green accents, which plays
- 48:46off that shade of pink on her hair so
- 48:47well. It's super pretty and just very
- 48:50soft yellow highlights. So even though
- 48:52she's super sensual and pretty, she's
- 48:55also like a bit soft. She's not
- 48:58aggressively sexual, which I appreciate.
- 49:00Very, very, very beautiful, very, very
- 49:02playful. She's a phenomenal character.
- 49:04It's one of those examples of like she's
- 49:05naked, but she has a lot of design. Uh
- 49:08all the little things they did for her,
- 49:09the hearts, the little jewelry that
- 49:11looks like flowers, the body language,
- 49:14the actual gold pieces, the very
- 49:16creative censorship. Like Aphrodite is a
- 49:19master class in simple character design.
- 49:20>> appreciate that they gave her a more
- 49:22classically beautiful and statuesque
- 49:24face rather than making her hyper cute
- 49:26and UWU. Yeah, believe it or not, this
- 49:29was the beauty standard for the time.
- 49:31Let's zoom in on Aphrodite's face for a
- 49:32second to see it. So a lot of people
- 49:34might not know this because [ __ ]
- 49:36Instagram destroyed people's perception
- 49:38of what women should look like and now
- 49:39all of them look the same. But this was
- 49:41the beauty standard for back in the day.
- 49:43Really like high cheekbones, pronounced
- 49:46nose, full brows, thinner lips. Like
- 49:50before, women didn't look like blow-up
- 49:52dolls in ancient Greece, nor should they
- 49:54look like blow-up dolls now, and I can
- 49:56definitely appreciate the facial
- 49:57diversity here. The reason why she's not
- 50:00wearing makeup is because she's a
- 50:01natural beauty. She doesn't need it.
- 50:05Does it make her lips look a little bit
- 50:06pale? Sure. But she still looks
- 50:08absolutely gorgeous, and at the end of
- 50:09the day, the most important thing to
- 50:11look at is her eyes. Very, very bright
- 50:12pink bedroom eyes. She's still stunning,
- 50:16but she doesn't need much more than her
- 50:18actual [ __ ] skin. Like I can point to
- 50:21you guys at her the shape of her jaw
- 50:22just by looking at this illustration
- 50:24because I draw a lot of women. She has a
- 50:26very soft jawline. She just has
- 50:29realistic features. She is smug though.
- 50:32She is selling it. So Aphrodite is the
- 50:34perfect beauty standard for ancient
- 50:35Greece. Not giant tits, very nice hips,
- 50:38beautiful face, naked. Oh, dearest, I
- 50:42suspect we'll have ourselves a most
- 50:43exciting time together, you and I. Just
- 50:46do your best, and it'll all be fine. All
- 50:48right. And then my top one, which you
- 50:50guys probably already know what it is
- 50:51from my [ __ ] elimination, my top
- 50:54character I would [ __ ] Hades is
- 50:58I accept this gift with gratitude.
- 51:04Absolutely
- 51:07stunning.
- 51:08Beautiful. One of the best character
- 51:11designs I've seen, one of the best
- 51:13interpretations for a Greek deity that
- 51:15I've ever seen. I am gay.
- 51:18I am hella gay for Nyx, and
- 51:21how would you not be? She is everything.
- 51:24She is sexy
- 51:26and well-designed
- 51:29and has an amazing face with beautiful
- 51:32features,
- 51:34a slender neck, amazing use of
- 51:39repetition, color, theme. Like they
- 51:42nailed it. The night sky as a woman.
- 51:46Isn't it just perfect? And with like
- 51:48traditional Greek hairstyles to boot.
- 51:51Like this is the type of [ __ ] that they
- 51:52would do with their hair. She also has a
- 51:54very traditional silhouette, albeit a
- 51:56bit more form-fitting. She's an
- 51:58incredibly elegant presence, and she
- 52:00also has a lot of color. My favorite
- 52:02detail about Nyx is that Gen Z managed
- 52:04to glorify her. We probably having fat
- 52:06bags with a single line drawn on. No,
- 52:07she has fat bags. It's not even
- 52:10interpretation. It's like look at the
- 52:12curve. I actually drew underneath this,
- 52:14like drew like the actual silhouette of
- 52:15her body. She has really fat bags. They
- 52:18are just compressed by those little
- 52:21skulls. They're doing the Lord's work.
- 52:23But this is an absolutely stunning
- 52:25design for many, many different reasons,
- 52:27not only in design with a purpose,
- 52:31in use every [ __ ] bit of the
- 52:34character design rules to your
- 52:35advantage, but it's just so sexy, chat.
- 52:39It's so absolutely beautiful in every
- 52:42sense of the word that it genuinely
- 52:44surprises me that I don't see a lot of
- 52:46fan art of her. I don't see a lot of
- 52:48Hades art, by the way, a fun fact. But
- 52:50like there needs to be more out there.
- 52:52Cuz again, this is a masterclass in
- 52:54character design. Cuz like you have a
- 52:56theme, right? This is again how you do
- 52:57designing for an object or a concept
- 53:00without making it super on the nose.
- 53:03Nyx, for those of you guys who don't
- 53:04know, Greek mythology, she is the night
- 53:05sky. And there could have been a few
- 53:07different ways they could have gone
- 53:08about this, but the way that she is made
- 53:10is actually incredibly clever because
- 53:12she lives in the underworld. She's
- 53:13usually with Hades. She is Zag's
- 53:16basically surrogate mother. And while
- 53:18they could have just done like something
- 53:20super starry night and be done with it,
- 53:21I like that they decided to not make it
- 53:24like a black starry sky, but instead
- 53:27make it the color of the sky when the
- 53:28sun is only just set. They added a lot
- 53:31of gold. They added a lot of really
- 53:32bright elements. They also added a lot
- 53:34of skulls because that ties her to the
- 53:36underworld, but that also shows how the
- 53:39night is cold and lonely and pretty
- 53:41dangerous. She has moon-shaped pauldrons
- 53:44even though she's not the goddess of the
- 53:45moon because the moon exists within her
- 53:47space.
- 53:48Her hair on the back, and this is not
- 53:51even like as long as her hair gets, she
- 53:52has a lot of hair, fun fact, resembles
- 53:55wings that have like stars on the back,
- 53:57and she also has stars all over her
- 53:59crown. She's incredibly regal, one of
- 54:00the most ornamented characters in Hades,
- 54:02and her main thing is that like she's
- 54:04very nurturing, she's very motherly,
- 54:06she's very helpful to Zag, but like it's
- 54:09like being embraced by the night. She's
- 54:10also pretty cold. Oh.
- 54:13That is a fair enough assessment.
- 54:16The night is dark and full of dommy
- 54:17mommies. Yes, it is. Nyx is my favorite
- 54:20design in Hades because it's such like a
- 54:21well-idealized concept. Like you can
- 54:23really tell that the designer put their
- 54:26all into this
- 54:27in looking at what they had to work
- 54:29with. What do I have to make? I have to
- 54:30make the Greek goddess that represents
- 54:32the night sky. So they did their
- 54:34research.
- 54:36They picked the elements they want to
- 54:37use. They picked the colors they want to
- 54:38use. And I can guarantee you that all of
- 54:40these had a fair amount of concept art
- 54:42because getting designs this good
- 54:44doesn't just happen right out of the
- 54:45gate. These takes some tries. But I
- 54:48really like the fact that we went with
- 54:49purple. I really like the fact that we
- 54:51made it look like the sky at twilight. I
- 54:54do enjoy the fact that she is floaty and
- 54:56ethereal and super [ __ ] graceful.
- 54:58Because Nyx is technically, if I'm not
- 55:01mistaken, she's a titan, right? She's
- 55:03one of the older gods. She is not as old
- 55:06as Chaos, but she's pretty up there. I
- 55:08think that Nyx and Gaia are some of the
- 55:11oldest gods. They are primordial. They
- 55:14don't belong on Olympus, technically
- 55:16speaking, which is why I think Nyx is in
- 55:18the underworld, but she is one of the
- 55:21oldest ones, and she definitely has an
- 55:23air of ancient power around her that
- 55:26they captured really, really well. She's
- 55:28my favorite and objectively the hottest
- 55:30character in Hades. I'm sorry, I don't
- 55:31make the rules. A 10 out of 10 would
- 55:33smash, and you would find me between
- 55:34those titties. You are one of the most
- 55:36thoughtful and most generous of all. All
- 55:39right. Closing thoughts though, despite
- 55:41the fact that I played this game before,
- 55:42it was pretty fun to go over the Hades
- 55:44character designs. I enjoyed ranking
- 55:46them from from least likely to most
- 55:48likely to bone for obvious reasons. This
- 55:50game is so good. If you have not played
- 55:53Hades before, do yourself a favor and
- 55:55give it a spin before you try Hades 2.
- 55:57It's incredibly fun. It has one of the
- 55:59most visually striking art styles I've
- 56:00seen in a video game in a hot minute.
- 56:02The music is great. The characters are
- 56:03all awesome, and there's so many things
- 56:05to do in Hades. It's so replayable. I
- 56:07genuinely think that the character
- 56:09designer popped off, and I'm so [ __ ]
- 56:11excited for Hades 2. Holy [ __ ] Also,
- 56:15feedback time. I need you guys. What do
- 56:17you guys think about this style of
- 56:18review for games that I've already
- 56:19played of like ranking them instead of
- 56:21just talking about design. Do you guys
- 56:23think that that's more fun? Cuz like I
- 56:25want feedback on this to see if I
- 56:26approach games that I've already played
- 56:28in the past for design in a different
- 56:30way cuz just talking about design might
- 56:31be a bit boring. So it was more fun to
- 56:33do like a what do I like best. If you
- 56:35like this video, like, comment,
- 56:36subscribe. Who's your favorite Hades
- 56:38characters? Have you played Hades 2 yet?
