Do you consider the pre-series movies to be canon to the show?
The movies are definitely important... without them, we wouldn't HAVE a show. But there are some rough edges that hadn't been smoothed out yet, and these things don't always gel with how the characters were written in the show.
So, do you feel that the movies and the show are canon to each other, "in the same universe," as it were? Sure, some things (like the Hydra) get mentioned and shown during the show, but is everything canon?
Here are some differences that bugged me. Feel free to share any others you remember or notice:
- Hercules being very misogynistic in "Hercules and the Amazon Women"... hard to believe he'd be that way
- Iolaus having a wife who is never mentioned again.... I think if Iolaus had a wife, he'd stay with her. He may love the ladies, but loyalty is his defining trait
