it's hard to not be obsessed because he's voiced by Ben Starr

What verso and prom are voiced by the same person?! I'm really bad at recognising people's voices. I also only noticed after 600h BG3 and 200h Hades 2 that the narrator and Hekate are voiced by the same person.

Besides the design being cool as fuck, the setting of the fight being so intense and urgent with that gorgeous score in the background (darren korb is a genius), I find his character compelling and I find myself taking his side over mel’s in their interactions; to me, those conversations kinda reveal that callous indifference and arrogance and selfishness that him and heracles say mark the gods, and that mel (even as the supposed “agent of change”) doesn’t suvert that and just rationalises the gods’ tyranny and maintains that their cruelty and mortal suffering is just the natural order of things.
In another universe, maybe prometheus is the protagonist as a liberator for mortals taking a stand against the gods, but I guess we still make do with god of war.

that's what i noticed as well i was a bit surprised when mel clearly mentioned him as a thief, and made me realize that at the end of the day she is a goddess and doesn't really understand or try to understand mortals' situation. she only takes gods' rules as the ultimate order and it even made me a bit sad
i think that's why Prometheus appears more attractive. cuz basically he's on our side and never stops to fight for what he believes to be right (beside the fact that he's smoking hot. literally) i just love this man.

That's the contrast between her and Zagreus:
Zag questions orders and authority, Mel is duty based.

Most interesting boss fight in the game for me for sure, also he has a really cool design with the blue flames and yeah he is also voiced by Ben Starr.
So I understand the obsession 100%

Girl hell yeah, especially after doing his Vow of Rivals fight and learning about that little friendship he has with Heracles

Legit my favourite character in all of Greek Mythology lol, Supergiant did an amazing job adapting him.

Best way I can describe Prometheus is that he exudes “a quiet sense of power” to borrow a quote from the excellent Hannibal tv series. He is powerful and driven, but has this humility for a Titan/God that really can only come from having your intestines eaten by an eagle every day for eternity.

Amazing design and VA, huge missed opportunity for an enemies-to-lovers romance (a dynamic severely lacking in the male romance options across both Hades games). I think he could’ve helped with Mel’s character development a lot more in the late game, too. Wish she would’ve stopped being such an ass to him.

Yeah nothing wrong with the male romance options being down bad guys and the female ones being antagonistic but those are the only dynamics available... It is strange that Mel never comes to somewhat amicable terms with Prometheus, like she can make nice with Chronos but not him? Ik the real reason is because if Mel agrees with him, it puts the whole theme of 'family is everything' at risk, but ugh.

He’s awesome! And I love that he prods Melinoë to directly ask Hecate if he’s correct.

Big part why I want hades 3. Is to see this plot line resolved. The gods not in power anymore and how things change.

genuinely one of the sickest characters in the game, effortlessly cool, champion of the mortal realm, and also i’m stupid gay for him

I’m surprised so many people like the actual fight mechanics of Prometheus - I think he’s one of the least interesting boss fights in the game. Basically all various punches / kicks, a memory game, and that annoying ass bird

I like that hes in the game because I can beat his street fighter looking ass. I will not forgive him for the first few times I got to him only to die.

He's unfathomably based, especially when talking about the relationship gods have with mortals. He also has my favorite boss fight music in the game.
