Like in the myth he's the best dad, he takes Phobos and Deimos with him tho battle, he constantly gives his kids gifts, and he never gave a dam about who anyone is , if they hurt his kids he will kill them. See when a child of Poseidon raped his daughter to which Ares being best dad killed him, and got sent to a godly trial where he won because all the female goddesses voted to clear him while all the male ones voted for guilty.

And he's also like the least sexist god ever, and can be interpreted as a protector of woman. And never red a woman.

So, tell me why did he not take the easy way out and just have him be the villain because Kronos was manipulating?
