So the gist is people think they know more about Shakespeare then they actually do, because high school English literature classes generally tend to do the more famous ones?
That doesn’t really surprise me. At all.
That said, the idea of The Lion King as a Frankenstein’s Monster made of various Shakespeare plays stitched together seems much better than a straight rip-off (and is also a hilarious mental image), because I don’t really it as the pinnacle of animation that everyone else seems to. Ever since I was a kid, to me, Aladdin always beat it out within the Renaissance Era, and Fantasia trumped all in the full Canon.
(No hipsto -though honestly, saying Fantasia is the best is almost as clichéd- that’s just my personal preference.)
That sequence becomes a little uncomfortable once you learn that Nala is Ophelia, that Ophelia dies by drowning, AND THAT THEY MADE A REFERENCE TO THAT.

Exactly.
As sad as it is Spike is going to outlive Twilight and the others.
And while he would still have Celestia and Luna it’s good that he has someone with his own kind that he can count on in the coming centuries.

Right? I loved those games. It was damn near impossible to find all three, but they only wanted like $8 a pop at Gamestop. Not popular but hard to find????
So disappointed with the direction they took with Spyro… Skylanders is fun in its own right, but it’s not a Spyro game, dammit.
Oh, and I totally support this ship.’Bout time Spike found someone his own species.
I think, for future comments with shipping wars, there needs to be a gif with two boats firing at each other or just another general war scene with captions going “Shipping. Shipping never changes.”

What, that Simba made her wet?

Like a freight train.
