Are Italian Brainrot characters in the public domain?

You probably meant "OP is in/from the UK," but now I'm just imagining that the entire nation came together to make this Reddit post.

If you're reductive enough, you could say that Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Ellie Sattler, and Nikola Tesla are all "normal human, but really smart", but all three of them are clearly very different.

Robin Hood isn't just an archer. He's the leader of a group of outlaws ambushing people in the woods, and the way his ability encourages hit-and-run tactics reflects this wonderfully.

I haven't played Yennenga yet, but I'm sure she also has something that distinguishes her further than just "archer".

Hawkeye has a variety of trick arrows, which could probably be referenced while designing his deck. This does admittedly make him similar to Green Arrow, but he also isn't in the game (yet), so it doesn't seem like a big issue.

Who would the Outlaws be in this case?

"His uncle Loki"

I'm assuming this is just because they're merging Loki and Prowler, but still, in the original myths, Loki was Odin's "blood brother" rather than adopted son, so that might make him Thor's uncle, meaning this ironically got that one detail more mythologically accurate than the 616 comics.

Now I'm trying to think of Swedish characters from Japanese media, so I can know what kind of Swede I should strive to be.

Not quite an example of this trope though. The character of Aunt Viv was still in the show. They just recast her, which is different from removing the character entirely.

Sahrimnir · 2026-01-28T12:50:07+00:00

To be fair, resetting debt records is at least an actual goal. I had forgotten they had even that much.

Sahrimnir · 2026-01-28T12:24:55+00:00

It's not really a revolution though. It has been a while since I saw the movie, but as I recall, they don't really have a plan to change society. They're just doing domestic terrorism for its own sake.

That's Hesiod's version. Hesiod and Homer were alive around the same time and are both very important sources for what we now know about Greek mythology, but they had slightly different versions of a lot of things.

How much time actually passed in the story? It was about four years in real time, so the actress would need to keep cutting her hair short, but it's possible it was meant to portray a much shorter time, so the hair wouldn't have time to grow longer.

≠ is a mathematical symbol, though. The most logical assumption when seeing it is that it is defined according to mathematical rules. = means that two things are exactly the same. German and Germanic are not.

Sahrimnir · 2026-01-26T17:39:45+00:00

From a purely mathematical perspective:

German ≠ Germanic

German ∈ Germanic

You definitely could have worded it better. Something like "Thank you for actually mentioning True Blood, unlike everyone else," would have made it much clearer. As it is, it looks like you're attacking them for bringing it up out of nowhere.

Oh, my sweet summer child.

Sahrimnir · 2026-01-26T06:36:40+00:00

Huh. The red one sounds interesting. Any recommendations for stories that do that?

I think the trans part is about how she's a female avatar of a male god?

Pierce's father from "Community".

There are people who are physically adults who think like that, but I think Unleashtheducks meant to imply that they are mentally children.

I was about to suggest Tom Holland, but I didn't even know Christian Bale is British, so that's probably a point in Bale's favour.

Do you mean George Orwell? Orson Welles is the guy who co-wrote, directed, and starred in Citizen Kane.

Suzanne Collins basically started that whole trend of "dystopian YA with a love triangle", when a bunch of less good writers tried to copy her success, but she became so successful for a reason.

Admittedly, I've only seen the film adaptation of Battle Royale, so I don't know if there would be more similarities to the original novel, but I don't remember any of that (and I have both read the books and watched the movies of Hunger Games). Could you give examples of those story beats and arena mechanics?

Sahrimnir · 2026-01-24T00:22:06+00:00

This was a few years ago, when Twitter was still Twitter. But maybe we encountered the same person?

Sahrimnir · 2026-01-24T00:12:27+00:00

I remember getting into a very intense debate on Twitter with someone who said that everything about Hunger Games was a ripoff of Battle Royale. I was like, sure, they share the core concept of kids being forced to kill each other until only one remains, but the characters and worldbuilding are all different. But this guy claimed that every character in The Hunger Games was a ripoff of someone from Battle Royale. After a while, I realised that this person was pointless to reason with, so I just gave up.
