What the devil is up with that picture and the 3 o'clock shadow, blurry skin and disturbingly HD mole? And must I mention her maw?
Does that make him a poor craftsman or an extremely good craftsman
As the saying goes, that depends on whether or not he blames his tool.
Which in turn depends on which kind of tool we're talking about, of course.
By the Greek standards of the time, or how I imagine them, he'd be a bad craftsman for not having control over his creation....
Wait, I heard this story before
Yes.
I didn't even know there was a Hercules series.
There were a lot of Disney movies that got TV shows, they basically just shoved them all onto a less known Disney animated shows channel instead of tje main Disney Channel.
Here in USA, it was all on ABC and called the Disney Afternoon. Super successful with DuckTails and Tailspin, then bringing Alladin and Good Troop. There were a few other movies that got the animated TV show treatment, but the success of the Disney Afternoon started wearing thin and the shows were cancelled when people realized that they were not good anymore. Not like DuckTails, Darkwing, and Alladin.
My answer to this question was literally "no...?" lol
I think this is for the best. Otherwise he would never know whether she likes him for being himself or for creating her.
Mother's and fathers everywhere: @>_>
So the moral of the story is not to give women free will? Damn, Disney was crazy.
Interesting assumption
Based off the myth of Pygmalion and Galathea, where Pygmalion (a sculpturer) resents ALL women because of an incident with some prostitutes.
After becoming disgusted by some local prostitutes, he lost all interest in women and avoided their company completely
Instead he works on a sculpture that he becomes obsessed with and falls in love with. A goddess notices and brings the statue to life. They (the artist and the now living statue) eventually get married and have a son!
I've heard a couple of different variations on the story.
One, in which the sculptor creates Galathea but she rejects him like all other women before, because he was just a generally unlikable guy.
Another, in which he falls in love with a vision of Hera and seeks to form her likeness. Hera visits to inspect his work, and when she reveals herself, he begs to become stone so he can be with his creation forever. Hera is flattered and chooses to bring the statue to life instead. The first words that Galatea says to her creator/lover is "Now I must remake you in kind".
Hercules was apparently just Ancient Greek Johnny Bravo
“This is why we need to end no-fault divorce!” -whichever shithead conservative pundit in Texas was mad about his divorce; I can’t remember his name
I think it was Crowder, but you may be able to change my mind
There it is.
That's probably what all those AI '''girlfriends''' are going to do as soon as they become conscious.
Well they're autocorrect, so that's not gonna happen.
That's rough, buddy.
Yeah well my girlfriend became the moon.
Eyyy Zuko!
Yes, and Icarus was also an interesting main character who made a bunch of regular pottery to be brought to life at roughly the same time.
If I remember the episode right, he didn't even really make her. He came up with a homonculoid blob and Aphrodite made it actually girl shaped. "That's curvy enough for YOU."
Oh hey, it’s Pygmalion! Originally a Greek myth, but also the play by Bernard Shaw that was adapted into the musical My Fair Lady.
