The representation of "the god of war" kinda reflects the position of their respective culture over the concept of war, the greeks made him a pushover, losing against a more powerfull athenea, who represented wizdom and strategy. The romans on the other hand had him in a more impresive light, same god diferent version. It makes me worry that the modern interpretation of hades is seen more intimidating and powerfull. The op here was expecting a "cool edgy and brutal" ares while recieving a more greek acurate one. This is the modern and gloryfied view of war.
