So i've been playing through Hades 2 recently and, unless i'm just going insane, I'm fairly sure that in the later game (or in Hades 3) that we're going to fight against the gods in some capacity?

We have Nemesis, saying that the gods might deserve all of this happening to them, and that Prometheus didn't deserve his punishment; We have Moros talking about how he has ended the lives of mortals in interesting ways for entertainment; We have Heracles, who freed Prometheus, and who has been very screwed over by the gods in the past; In the previous game we had Sisyphus, happy; We have Arachne, whose story (and the amount she deserved her punishment) varies but still got fucked over; (Pan)Dora, where the last remaining item in her jar (box) was hope, sometimes seen too as a curse, the gods giving meaningless mortals hope in their lives; We have Athena talking about how compromise is failure and will only start more conflict; other olympians talking about flooding the earth or punishing mortals for siding with Chronos;

and finally, we have Prometheus, who is the most interesting character in the entire game;

Prometheus, the titan, is best known for three things:

He created the first humans out of clay (sometimes Hephaestus is credited with this)

He stole fire from the gods and gave it to mankind (which is why he is often considered the god of fire)

Liver. Bird. Liver. Bird. Liver. Bird [...]

Prometheus in Hades 2 is the god (titans and gods are virtually the same don't worry about it) of Foresight (due to his name being typically understood as to mean "Foresight" in contrast to his brother's meaning "Hindsight" or "Afterthought"), freed from the mountain by someone and who now fights against Olympus. Note that it was Heracles who freed him in the legends, and Heracles is a character who appears in game.

Prometheus clearly cares for humanity over all else, being their creator, and thus the source of their suffering.

The most interesting lines from Prometheus in the game are those regarding the future, after all he is the titan of foresight, specifically to do with mortals and the gods. Most notably, the recurring line:

Agent of Change.

Come then, Agent of Change, and show me what I know you can do!"

If you could see what i've forseen, you'd not believe it anyhow

(on death):

All... according... to plan...

Prometheus :  "I could only... do my part..." [Melinoë : "Silence. Save your troubles for your master Chronos."] "It's not my troubles that I mean to save... Agent of Change..."

If suffering today brings a better tomorrow, so be it

and the most important line, the one that explains his persistence (in my eyes):

Gods could learn something from mortals, you know. For all their many failings, they have an admirable tendency to cling to hope; a certain quality we deathless often lack [Melinoë: Hope can be the salve for the naive. So many mortals hope they'll never die; a feeling born of delusion and fear] Yes! Mortals live short, painful lives. And even still they strive for something greater than they mostly can achieve. I fight for them! You gods only fight for yourselves

While there is all likelihood that my own foresight is flawed in this regard; all of this being simply a reference to the last curse of hope that remains in Pandora's Jar, I choose to see it that this is what Prometheus has learned through his years:

He fights for mortals, he suffers and dies as they do time and time again to strive for what is greater than himself, he clings to the hope that Melinoë will finally break this cycle and free humanity.

get loved, fucking idiot

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

so. I just got to Maruki’s attempted persuasion of Ren before the deadline and. hey what the fuck. what. what.

Akechi is the sole bargaining chip? Akechi’s life and their continued connection is what Ren wished for?

>getting very close to end of P5R

>Maruki goes around giving people their ideal reality

>Game makes it a point to emphasize that he revives dead people

>"huh I wonder why he granted everyone else's wishes but didn't give the mc one"
