Hades Not Knowing Hercules Survived Creates The Disney Movie’s Biggest Plot Hole

Eighteen years later , Hades learned that Hercules was alive thanks to Meg , and he was obviously furious at Pain and Panic for failing and never recount him – and that ’s where the patch hole is . As the god of the Underworld , who see every soul that arrived in this kingdom , Hades should have know properly away that Pain and Panic did n’t fulfil their programme and Hercules was n’t killed .

Despite recognise well that they were n’t the most competent beings , Hades think what Pain and Panic tell him about the commission to drink down Hercules and trusted them , no matter that there was no cogent evidence of Hercules ’ death .
