Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

I just don’t get it. Mufasa’s only role in the story is to die as motivation for Simba. This is like making a movie about Batman’s parents or Uncle Ben. Nobody cares.

I think they wanted to explain Scar's motivation for what he did in the original, despite the fact that it was already explained, he was waiting for his brother to die so that he could become King, but then his brother had a kid and he was bumped to second in line to the throne!

Is there a lore reason Jonkler is dead? Was he stupid?

Or is this after the events of Jonkler 2: Falling a doodoo?

My first exposure to Warhammer 40K was some time in the late '90s when a friend tried to coordinate a game of Gorkamorka that was really just an excuse to kitbash a bunch of half-built models we had kicking around. I've never gotten very deep into into it, but I've had a passing familiarity with the game and its setting ever since.

It only just now clicked for me while watching a fan-made animation that the Orks' battlecry of "Waaagh!" is just the greenskins yelling "war!"

Why do the monsters in Monsters Inc. have such normal names?

 

[MEDdMI]

Theory 1: They're originally monster names, early humans adopted them as their own. Before beds and closets, they would hide on cave ceilings.

Theory 2: They're not normal, our ears can't comprehend the true pronounciation and approximates the closest name.

Why do the monsters in Monsters Inc. have such normal names?

Some questions are best left, unanswered!!

Giving them normal names sells the mundanity of the factory work. They're monsters, but they're just working stiffs doing their 9-to-5.
