A mysterious old man farms in the grasslands of Greece.

"Hey, Prometheus!" yelled a young Hercules, walking up to the old man.

"Herc!" laughed old man Prometheus. "Did you fish enough for the week?"

"Yeah!" laughed Hercules.

Hercules look at the sun and smiled sweetly, allowing the sunlight to touch his face.

Later...

Hercules and Prometheus ate silently at the table.

"What's wrong, Herc?"

"Nothing, dad..." Hercules sighed. "It's just that... I think that there could be more, right? More to just being... this..."

Prometheus sighs.

"Yeah...more than just this..."

A light shimmers from outside their stone home...

"Look, Miguel..." Dark squinted his eyes. "Disney villains are awesome, okay!? They're just way too awesome to be brushed over! They have just... this sense of justice in them, right!? They all have their motivations and pizzazz!"

"For the last time, Dark. I don't disagree with you."

"So, you do agree with me!"

"I don't agree with you either."

"What!?"

"Well... After you've been traumatized countless times, I don't think it's psychologically possible for that person to agree with the same people who traumatized him."

"Oh! Sure! Mother Gothel!?"

"Overbearing parent."

"Ursula!?"

"Ex-Girlfriend..."

"Hans!?"

"Corrupt scum politician I used to beat every night... Until I killed him after turns out he molested little girls..."

"JAFAR!?"

"I don't like snake charmers. They have those eyes..."

"Tamatoa!?"

*Psy-Crab Flashbacks*

"Tighten from Megamind!?"

*MASSIVE STEFAN FLASHBACKS*

"I don't like the protagonists! They're just unrealistic all-good do-gooders!"

"No..."

"How so!?"

"Because the difference between Stefan and I is that he broke and gave up on being good. I didn't. Call him the stronger one for all I care. I'm the one who's unbreakable."

Dark stares at Miguel with choir music in the background.

The pair look at Yuki.

"Sorry!" smiled Yuki, listening to Church music on  the Smart TV.

"Yeah... Heroes are dumb, Miguel."

"Pfft..." sighed Miguel.

"You were an assassin, too!"

"Doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, Dark."

Meanwhile...

Oh, Goddamnit.
