Hercules



Hercules - in which a cartoon pantheon of Greek gods squabbles and learns a lesson about humanity. Zeus has a son, and he gets poisoned with some mortality potion by Hades' goons, but he doesn't drink alllllll of it, so he's only mostly human. It's hard to separate the mythology from the movie. So, Hercules goes to live with the humans, cast out of Olympus. So, Hercules is a scrawny kid who means well, but he doesn't get to the hero stuff until he gets a Danny Devito sidekick to help train him. Once he gets all buff and heroic, Hades gets word that Herc is still alive, and he sends a hot lady to sabotage him.  Her name is Meg, and she is working for Hades because of the guy she loved, or whatever. Hercules does some good deeds, and gets his god status back, everybody sings.

So, Wesley, from The Princess Bride, I mean, Cary Elwes, is friendly and charming to her, and obviously flattered by the attention of a young woman. Oh, she's 14. Yeah. So, she gets obsessed with him, and he encourages this friendship by talking to her, inviting her in, spending time with her, and taking her suggestions, like...
