But just as many focus on the dynamics between Zagreus and the people he encounters, from his forbidding father, Hades, to his relatives on Mount Olympus sending him encouraging, godly voicemails, to his mentor, the warrior Achilles.
Since Hades is a roguelike, many of the lines focus on combat. The performances in Hades are rich, varied, and abundant: there are over 20,000 voiced lines. They’ve also never had a fully-voiced game before, though in-house voice actor Logan Cunningham played narrator-like roles in all three previous games. Until now, Supergiant Games, which released Bastion (2011), Transistor (2014), and Pyre (2017), has had a dedicated but small fandom. For the people who give voice to these characters in Hades, what is that experience like? To find out, I interviewed Penrose, as well as Courtney Vineys (Aphrodite and Dusa), Darren Korb (Zagreus), and Cyrus Nemati (Theseus, Ares, and Dionysus). For a creator, the feed might look like this: a heartfelt compliment, followed by a scream of harassment, followed by a fan artist’s cute, chibi-style drawings of the creator’s characters, followed by another fan artist’s explicit drawings of the same characters. Platforms like Twitter are endless voids, awash with fervent blasts of communication that may or may not reach the tagged targets. In 2020, it’s easier than ever before for creators and their fans to interact. “It feels empty when they’re only reaching out to me to tell me that I’m a weird part of their horny dreams,” she said. However, a few people cross the line and do fuck with Penrose, messaging her to tell her how her voice figures into their sexual fantasies. Penrose has a naturally husky voice, which she pitched even throatier for the role of Meg. Two and a half months later, that deluge has hardly slowed. Enthusiastic fans, who responded to the game’s complex and fully-voiced characters, began a deluge of art, chatter, and fanfiction. It climbed sales charts on Steam and the Nintendo Switch. Upon its official release, Hades received dazzling reviews and sold over 300,000 copies in three days. The game, a roguelike that tells the story of Greek god Zagreus, son of Hades, and his attempts to escape the Underworld, had been in early access since December of 2018. Penrose got a new Twitter account and began engaging with a few fans who reached out to her directly about her performance. “I was like, should I have Twitter again?” she said. “I was in such a spiral of not enjoying social media,” Penrose said, “because of the politics I was fighting over.” Then the trailer hit, and Penrose started noticing a trickle of Hades-related comments on her Instagram.
The actress, who voiced the antagonist-turned-love-interest Megaera, had deleted her Facebook and Twitter accounts in July. Megaera is one of the three antagonists in the video game God of War: Ascension where she is portrayed as a deformed humanoid with spider like appendages.When the trailer for Supergiant Games’ latest title, Hades, debuted on August 18th, Avalon Penrose was not paying attention to her social media. She is a boss and a potential romance partner to Zagreus, the main character. Megaera is a major character in the video game Hades. Magaera is one of the main characters in the Twilight Zone episode " Ye Gods", which depicts her as the true love of Cupid.
The 1964 Hammer horror film The Gorgon revolves around the re-emergence of Megaera in a Central European village circa 1910. Minor planet 464 Megaira is named in her honour. She is not to be confused with Megara, the wife of Heracles. In modern French ( mégère), Portuguese ( megera), Modern Greek ( μέγαιρα), Italian ( megera), Polish ( megiera), Russian ( мегера), Ukrainian ( меґера) and Czech ( megera), this name denotes a jealous or spiteful woman. In other versions, she and her sisters, as well as the Meliae, were born of the blood of Uranus when Cronus castrated him. daughter of Nyx and Acheron", and Alecto". Bibliotheca Classica states "According to the most received opinions, they were three in number, Tisiphone, "Megaera. Megaera ( / m ə ˈ dʒ ɪər ə/ mə- JEER-ə Ancient Greek: Μέγαιρα, romanized: Mégaira, lit.'the jealous one' ) is one of the Erinyes, Eumenides or "Furies" in Greek mythology.
