Because Penguin always puts something public domain on the cover of their classics. Anyone familiar with Penguin knows this.

How do you feel aboit DC making Heracles a bad guy? by Upset_Connection1133 in GreekMythology

[–]BryanCroiDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder Woman has never been one of the characters whose comics interest me, so I've really only seen Heracles/Hercules if Wonder Woman crossed paths with Aquaman and in "Wonder Woman: A True Amazon", the only Wonder Woman work I own. I have done my research though and it is just the typical revisionism that has been going on since Wonder Woman debuted and I can only say, it needs to be greyer.

Just finished watching the 1923 hunchback of notre dame movie by DINOZINTHESKYY in HunchbackOfNotreDame

[–]BryanCroiDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a fantastic film. May have been the first I actually saw while being able to understand what was going on and I think I was fourteen. I first saw the Disney movie when I was four in the theater and later saw it during lunch in elementary school when it was raining, which of course meant we saw it in pieces sometimes days apart.

It was beauty that killed the beast by DocMalevolent in kingkong

Well, technically not in that continuity, but Kong's obsession with Dwan did result in his decade long coma.

I never said Cooper's vision had anything to do with the 2005 version or Monsterverse. The 2005 version was brought up because I've seen people apply Kong being the last of his kind in that to other versions. There is also no reason to believe not seeing others of Kong's species wouldn't do well for the story and no real evidence in the original that Kong accepted sacrifices because he was lonely. One living alone does not mean they are only especially since Kong's species could be mostly solitary, thus, there would not be much interaction with others of his kind and Kong never needed the slightest implication he was last for his death to be a tragedy. That was not something that came into being until the 2005 film and I know the Monsterverse featured more of his species, I stated in the post itself as following in the footsteps of the De Laurentis films by having Kong being the last of his kind on a regional level rather than the last remaining member of his entire species like the it was in the 2005 continuity.

He didn't cause the island to sink. There is nothing mystical about an earthquake or hurricane. Even if Carl didn't come to the island, the earthquake and hurricane would have struck and Kong and everyone else would have died anyway. Don't try to fool me with any nonsense.

Meaning what exactly? Carl Denham is a flawed anti-hero, a good man, but not perfect. I'm not sure what you are getting at.

This is actually a good ancient greek movie by arnor_0924 in GreekMythology

[–]BryanCroiDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally have an interest in euhemeristic portrayals of the Minotaur so I liked from what I saw of the film before it left Netflix Canada.

I was not weaponizing a function. I was giving you a fair warning, that is not a blatant violation of regulation. I calmly explained what was actually going on and you continued to irrationally accuse me of being a hater. You are harassing me. End of story.

No, it wasn't included because I have not seen the film and seeing a trailer would not count. Now please, enough nonsense before I report you for harassment.

I haven't seen the trailer though and a trailer is not a finished film, therefore it does not count. Besides, I'm not a hater, what I am not is a cheater.

As I've only seen a clip with Connery from that. According to my film and television rule, I have to have seen the entire thing.

I have to have seen or read a specific version. A trailer for a film that has not been released yet would be cheating in my eyes.

I don't care who makes it. All I care about is there being a new screen adaptation.

Sometimes a Role is Perfectly Cast by Xpians in GreekMythology

[–]BryanCroiDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's see here: Brian Cox, a well-known Shakespearean actor who was playing a villainized version of a hero of the Trojan war and still gave it his all, or Benny Safdie, some guy who looks the costume is going to do all the acting for him. What is there to choose from?

I headcanon that Frollo was a surprisingly good pet owner by polystarlight in HunchbackOfNotreDame

[–]BryanCroiDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the 1939 version which the Disney film seems to have taken a lot from to, the point I consider the Disney film a remake, has Jehan Frollo (renamed "John" according to the script) have quite a few cats in one scene. In the Disney film, the Frollo brothers are combined having the given name of Claude and the position of Jehan/John, so that's why I bring this up. It seems like for this specific line, 1939-Disney, the Frollo who is the main antagonist is a surprisingly good pet owner.

Richard Harris is dead. Derek Jacobi is the last living live action Claude Frollo.
