I want a movie about greek gods where hades isn’t the antagonist

By all accounts the antagonist in every Greek Gods movie should be Zeus’s dick. Nothing else causes as much murder and mayhem.

Where Hades is confused why everyone swears everything bad on him. “Oi, I didn’t do this!”

Where Zeus’ laughter is maniacal and gleeful in a sense that borders on unhinged, dangerous (Dionysus has to get it somewhere). Where Hera is a wife desperately clinging to the ideals of marriage and working with what she has because her husband is a raging asshole, and she isn’t vilified for working within the political parameters of being a GD queen.

Where Athena isn’t always cold and bitter, and Ares can string more than a sentence together without screaming. Where Artemis and Apollo are actually shown as SIBLINGS, and people who matter to one another. Where Aphrodite can do more than giggle, smile, and patter on about makeup and/or a mirror. Where Dionysus is a sometimes an artist on top of being a trainwreck.

Where HESTIA IS A FUCKING THING THAT FUCKING MATTERS? Where Demeter isn’t combined with Hera because having more than one of the original six being a woman is just too damn hard. Where Persephone wasn’t passive, she made a goddamn choice.

Where the myth isn’t boiled down into good versus evil, Olympus versus a poor rip-off of Hell. Let’s be real here: if this is how you interpret Greek Mythology, you’re in the wrong section of the bookstore. Christianity is two aisles to the left.
