Sometimes an adaptation is so strong that it eclipses the source material, so any deviations are assumed to be canonical to the original. This is also true for anything that just happened to filter through pop culture, like King Kong or Godzilla. Some examples that I found:

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a mystery! It's from the point of view of a different character who tries to uncover the relationship between the two characters. Every single adaptation is about how they're both the same person affected by a crazy experiment.

King Kong references just focus on the climax where he climbs the Empire State Building, but most of the movie is about going to the island and what they find there. Natives that revere him as a god, dinosaurs and giant snakes are all present.

Moby Dick is maybe 10% about a guy trying to hunt a white whale and the rest of it is a lot of history and philosophy.

Blade Runner feels like it was based on a dream someone had after reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, but without remembering all the details. In the book Deckard is married, owns a machine that helps him experience specific intense emotions, is part of a new age religion based around taking care of animals, has dreams with other people, gets arrested for being a replicant, etc. Every character basically just shares a name, and any events that actually occur in both still end completely differently. There's a scene where Deckard gives a test to someone and finds out they're a replicant. In the movie the creator is pleased because she's a replicant that isn't aware she's a replicant, and she's been passing their tests without being able to pass the police test. In the book they claim she's a human as a way of forcing Deckard to drop the case. It's the exact opposite conclusion.

Blade Runner in particular is the really odd one because it's the only one where the film didn't ruin the book for me. I already know the broad strokes or the important scenes in King Kong, Jekyll and Hyde, Dracula, etc. so there's nothing much there for me to get. Androids is so different from Blade Runner that I had no idea where the story was going to go next and it ended up being a really exciting read for me.

Any piece of media that is adapted and referenced endlessly is probably very, very good and definitely better than the references are so they're worth searching out. If all you know about the Twilight Zone are the Futurama parodies then you are missing out on some prime television.

Love has its own particular point of view. It sees everything larger than life. Nothing is too ornate, too fanciful, too dramatic. Love demands the theatrical, and then transfigures it. It turns the grotesque into the lovely, as a child does. With it, we can see what we wish to see in other people. Without it, we can't see anything at all. We can search forever, and never find.

I’ve posted before about how much I love Belos as a villain and how I think he is one of the best villains Disney as a whole has created in years but I have to reiterate this again in light of the finale

because the finale finished him off so well 

(like I have my tiny quibbles about wanting a little more Caleb and/or Evelyn mentions in the end but I kind of like that we didn't get any of that because it reenforces what the Titan points out: it’s not about that anymore. Belos has completely lost sight of any noble goal he might have ever claimed to have, even to himself. He is operating on nothing but pure desperation and rejection of any reality where his humanity (what little he believes he’s retained) doesn’t make him superior to this world. I like that the last reference to Caleb is his ghost/hallucination looking down at Belos and silently condemning him and his actions. ‘This wasn’t for me,’ he is saying. ‘it never was.’ and that’s how we conclude that relationship. I like that.)

anyway that rant aside that isn’t even what I’m talking about here. I am talking about when this incredible piece of shit uses his last bit of life and magic to try and manipulate Luz one last time, and specifically the direction he chooses -

because it’s another fan theory! Up until around Yesterday’s Lie and even until Hollow Mind, I saw a lot of posts that theorized that Philip and Belos were the same person but that what had happened was that Philip had been cursed. That explained his hatred of Wild Magic, after all. There were even people - myself included - who had crack theories that the Titan was, in fact, possessing him in a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde scenario 

and so for Belos to try to use that on Luz is a delightful bit of trope-awareness from both the show - and Belos himself, whose strong suit had always been telling people what they wanted or expected to hear and using those expectations to fuck with them (including the audience)

like of course it doesn’t work because how could it after everything but I love that it’s still... it’s still almost a good cover up and they let him have that, like... acknowledgement of how good he has always been at pivoting, how skilled he is at finding the best lie each time he’s beaten- 

and THEN they curb stomp him to death. 

anyway 10/10 Belos is the villain of all time thank you for coming to me ted talk

Book haul at HPB

First, here's a pic of everything.

Here, you can see each of the P. G. Wodehouse titles I got. Never bought Jeeves and Wooster books before, but this should be a great read. The BBC series was hilarious, what I recall seeing when I was a kid. Always adored Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry; in fact, I already have books written by them, too. Also got a couple Jane Austen titles and a Fyodor Dostoevsky that are part of a special edition series.

Then I got a bunch of books in this gorgeous special edition collection by Chiltern Publishing. I already had Jane Eyre and a couple other titles in this series, so I hope I don't have any extra copies of anything. I don't think so, but I'll have to unbox my books to find out for sure. I'm a bit worried that I might already have a copy of Wuthering Heights....

And then these books that are more random. I already had books 1 and 2 of Parasyte, so now I also have book 3. Then I already had Baking Yesteryear by B. Dylan Hollis, but this is a signed copy! The Philip Pullman book is a collection of his essays about the writing process. The Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce is considered by some to be one of the 100 greatest masterpieces of American literature. And then Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the one book I actually went there for. 😅 Too bad they didn't have a pretty copy, but that's ok. Maybe Chiltern will release one later. 🤔
