Hercule contre Arès

I love to watch reruns of this show! Ryan looks hot in leather!! I'm glad to see that WAM plays the reruns. I known that this show is aimed for younger views but I can't resist watching it every time it's on. You don't need to be a master in Greek history to understand this show, which is great because I'm not.

part of a fashion about Ancient Greek hero, it can not be original or surprising. its virtue is the freshness, the inspired manner to create a series for kids in which the adventures are expressions of basic values and the spirit of age. it is not really serious or dramatic or exotic. but each of that sins is important for a coherent message. because it is an introduction in the universe of myth and the art to give the perfect language for present it is not a small detail. so, an useful series. for a public who search the emotions of great events, who preserves the resources of imagination and for who the life/word is a conquest of every day.short, a nice work. interesting as class tool and for the definition of start in life for a great hero.

Young Hercules is a very upbeat and adventurous counterpart to the adult version of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Unlike Hercules:TLJ, Young Hercules is obviously aimed at younger kids who couldn't be interested to sit for an hour and watch some boring episode of Hercules and get completely confused by watching plot lines twist and turn, people dying, then coming back to life. Young Hercules offers them the chance to love Hercules and Ancient Greece by giving them action packed episodes that are only a half hour long. Perfect for anyone who loves Ancient Greece and Hercules, heroes and gods, but doesn't want to be confused, or sit through an entire hour of television of the same thing over and over again. :)

Developed and produced by Robert Tapert and Sam Raimi, we follow the titular Young Hercules (Ryan Gosling), in his prequel years prior to the more adult focused series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. From the same universe as Xena: Princess Warriors, but now for a considerably younger audience, the series puts (now) heartthrob Gosling as the lead, as he gets into continuous trouble with his father Zeus, the vengeful Hera, and of course the angry Ares and all this goons. Hercules is joined by his schoolmates Iolaus and Jason, three magnificent dude-bros out on their like totally awesome adventures man. Very lighthearted throughout, the shows really silly, lots of acrobatics and rubber weapons, and foley artists making the most ridiculous bangs and clangs every fight. It feels much like the kids genre of its time, almost as inspired by the likes of Power Rangers than Hercules, but it does what it wanted to I guess. Unless you're a big Gosling fan, or just love campy tv, I wouldn't likely recommend.

This is the adventures of a young half-God Hercules (Ryan Gosling), son of Zeus. He is a student at Cheiron's Academy. His friends are fellow students Iolaus and Prince of Corinth Jason. He is often battling the God Ares with his lackeys, Strife and Discord. Lilith is the first and only female Academy cadet. Kora runs the local hangout.

At least, this has Gosling. This is an offshoot of the Xena universe. In addition to this being a Young something show, it is also a half hour show. It makes this feel like a junior show in the verse. It only had one season although that is 50 episodes. One issue is the three male bro group. It needs a female fourth. They do try to include Lilith after the early shows, but she is not a main character in every episode. Mostly, this is young Gosling spreading his wings and that's somewhat interesting.
