Come Uppance
Who would you like to see get their final comeuppance? And just what would you like to do to them?
It’s a 50-50 split between horse-face Hera and that loser Strife. Yeah, I know. They're gods and they're probably gonna get pissed and try to burn my biscuits for bad mouthing them. Well, you know what? It wouldn't be the first time and it sure as hades isn't likely to be the last. So why pull any punches? But since you're asking, I'd like to see them get theirs for exactly the same reason – murdering Herc's family.
If I had to pick the greater of the two evils, I'd go with Hera. See, Strife, he's just an underling. Kind of Ares' yes-man. He killed Herc's second wife, Serena, and tried to frame him for the murder. It wasn't about punishing Serena or even hurting the big guy. Essentially, he was just kissing Ares' butt by trying to discredit Herc. End result was the same. Herc's wife was still dead. But Hera . . . the so-called "queen of the gods" . . . she knew exactly what she was doing and why. She can't exactly take her anger out on Zeus for sewing a few wild oats, so why not go after the offspring? But why Herc specifically? That I never got. I guess it doesn't matter now, does it? What matters is she not only slaughtered his first wife, Deanara, but his three little kids, too. Kids! Aeson couldn't have been older than 9! What did they ever do to her? I'll tell you what they did. They were born. Because Hercules was happy and had a family that adored him. And what does Hera have? Nothing.
So yeah, I'd like to see Hera and Strife get theirs. I'd like them to feel what Hercules felt, completely helpless while he watched his family die, burned alive by one of Hera's fireballs. But then, that would suppose either Hera and Strife had a heart. I don't think they could scrape one up between them if they tried.
