* As if these two aforementioned examples weren't enough, the Fates attempting to cut [[DeathsHourglass both threads of life]] with scissors is enough to make viewers young and old cringe and hold their breaths in fright of what would happen.

The article you are writing is for the reader. It is not about you or for you. Yeah, this is not even troper tales.


** Incidentally, when this troper was younger, she was terrified that the Titans would actually emerge from the television screen.
** DEAR GOSH, the Titans. They were heartless killers, and it was implied in the opening song that the remains of their victims WERE LITERALLY EVERYWHERE. Considering theyre portrayed as little more than mindless, hatefilled forces of nature that could not be reasoned with at ALL, only locked away, you can imagine that Hades would probably have had trouble keeping them under control if he had won. The only reason he got them to obey him was that he had a target for them, once Zeus was gone, who's to say that Hades could control what he had unleashed?

Restored Nightmare Fuel tab, and renamed some tropes.

Added DiffLines:

!![[Disney/{{Hercules}} Disney film]]
* The Fates share an eye between them. ''One. Single. Eye''.
* The Titans are so scary, they almost look like they were coming out of the screen.
* The Hydra: it's monstrous, no pun intended, and what makes it scarier is that it's like the one monster that gave Hercules trouble - even more than the titans, it was the only thing that came close to killing him.
** Not to mention with the [[CelShading cel-shaded CGI]], it looks more realistic while blended with the traditional animation. Granted, [[TechnologyMarchesOn it was more impressive in 1997]], but even now it's still disturbing.
* Meg is seen dying in agony and then shown clearly as dead as Disney can get away with on a G rating.
* Hercules' rescue of her soul showing his rapid aging gives both kids and adults nightmares.
* As if these two aforementioned examples weren't enough, the Fates attempting to cut [[DeathsHourglass both threads of life]] with scissors is enough to make viewers young and old cringe and hold their breaths in fright of what would happen. [[spoiler:The first time, they are successful in cutting Meg's thread; the second, they become unsuccessful at the moment Herc's thread glows up as the scissors start touching it on his rescue of her spirit.]]
