#because they thought it'd be an ironic twist since Zeus is the known cheater in the stories normally

To be fair to Kaos it’s very explicit about how within the world of the show, the mythology we know irl varies in truthfulness. In universe the myths are stories the gods spin in order to keep mortals worshipping them, and fueling their power. It’s not really meant to be an actual adaptation of myth, so yes Hera cheats despite supposedly being the goddess of marriage, she’s a hypocrite and that’s the point. Actual mythological Hera is essentially her pr personality. I think if you go in accepting that it’s much easier to stomach. But I know it’s not for everyone lol, took me a while to get there myself and the only reason I kept watching past like episode two was cause I was watching with other people

Yeah, that's all fair. I don't think (or really, know) if the show itself is actually good or bad, I just know that the choices they made that I have seen are not to my liking.

That said, when I saw all the spoilers for X Men Dark Phoenix I was really annoyed. But by the time I finally saw the film I was prepared for and accepted the bits I disliked, so it ended up being one of my favourite of the X Men films. So maybe this will be the same thing and when I do watch it, I'll be prepared for the bits I disliked and will actually end up liking the show as a whole! (I'm already kind of over the final episode twist - though I will be honest, even with your sound explanation, I still don't like Hera being a cheater. Just feels like they could have shown her as a hypocrite in other ways than using the one thing Zeus always did to hurt her most of all.)
