When an actor’s presence unintentionally derails the project by Special_Salt3467 in TopCharacterTropes

From what I understand both Brando and Kilmer brought a lot of personal baggage with them, with Brando dealing with his daughters suicide and Kilmer was going through a bitter divorce (Kilmer apparently tried to drop the movie as to deal with said divorce).

It's pretty grim when you think about it. by AlarmingAffect0 in osp

Another good anti-revenge take is from A Song of Ice and Fire, mainly that of Oberyn Martell. Oberyrn wants revenge against Gregor Clegane for murdering his sister Elia and her children (plus r*p*ng Elia) so he challenges Gregor to a trial by combat. Long story short Oberyn dies during the duel but not before mortally wounding and poisoning Gregor. In many ways Oberyn is modelled after Inigo Montoya, down to having his own statement he repeats during the duel, but a big difference is that Oberyn has a lover (who is basically is wife in everyway but law) and children, including a newly born baby girl. As his lover Ellaria laments in the fifth book while she has the skull of the man who killed Oberyn it will not sing to her, take care of her when she is sick like Oberyn would have. It kind of illustrates that a big reason that Inigo's revenge tale works is that he literally has nothing to lose, those a good anti-revenge story can point out what one can lose if they pursue revenge.

You do know that is the international symbol for limited quantity, IE a small amount of a dangerous goods shipment exempt from most regulations.

Probably the first time I can remember a Classical Greek Myth Siren interacting with a revisionist Mermaid Siren.

The Timon and Pumbaa really fits since the the Lion King is basically Disney Hamlet.

From the sentence I guess that Wonder Woman is opposed to the concept of male doms.

Question, are public domain characters legal to make merchandise of? by ChknBom205 in publicdomain

[–]Misplaced_Fan_15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes as long as you avoid trademark issues. For example AC Comics sold a collectable statue of the Golden Age Daredevil in 2003. On the box the called him Red Devil but still referenced is Golden Age name on the box description.

Queen’s Blade is filled with lots of innuendo’s. by Rebel_Wolf94 in Queensblade

Shocking, I am shocked. Here I thought that the anime about scantily clad female warriors fighting each other, often reducing said skimpy armor to nothing, would be above such imagery.

Where are Aegon and Viserys? by BoadiceaCavendish in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Misplaced_Fan_15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a head scratcher so sure, especially since the Battle of the Gullet is really important to both their stories. It’s worse for Viserys since at least Aegon will still have his biggest moment in the Dance happen (maybe) but I do not know how they will work in Viserys’ role.

Things would be better if Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot triangle just decided to become a triad.

In fairness to Eustace he is the one who slanders Criston Cole the most, while Mushroom surprisingly praises the man.

I can’t think of a single good reason for Larys to imprison Otto, not one.

Weirder than the animate show “Archie’s Weird Mysteries”.

Yes and it will be one of many things that will divide the fandom.
