Let's see shall we

Weapons

Giving this to Hercules for sheer variety. Don't get me wrong Maui's magic hook can put out more damage and has the further reach but it's limited to a swinging/slashing attack. Hercules meanwhile has a sword which can be used to both slash and stab and more importantly a bow with which he pepper Maui with arrows from a distance. Furthermore the hook's enormous reach makes it unwieldy up close and if Hercules does manage to close the distance then his shorter sword actually works in his advantage. Maui's ability to turn into animals makes him an unpredictable fighter but since being hit with enough force knocks him out of the transformation Hercules should find these forms pretty easy to handle.

Edge: Hercules

Powers

When it comes to sheer strength Maui is superior because his feats of strength are just that much more impressive. Don't get me wrong lifting giant boulders and tornadoes is impressive but it can't compare to dragging the sun and sky around. Durabilitywise they seem roughly even so Maui wins this category for his much superior strength.

Edge: Maui

Final Verdict 

I'll preface this by saying I haven't watch Moana and haven't seen Hercules in years so might get a few things wrong but going by what I can see in this blog  I'm going to side with Hercules in the battle of the Disney demigods. Maui certainly has some impressive feats of strength and his magic hook is the best single weapon in this battle but I just feel Hercules has the bit more to him. Apart from his more versatile weapons he's also a fair bit smaller than the giant beefcake that is Maui and so is nimble enough to avoid Maui's attacks while also having a much bigger target to aim at himself. Furthermore while both have fought monsters Hercules has also fought and beat the Titans which are much more powerful than anything Maui has faced.

Hercules: 2,800

Maui: 2,200
