As the Doctor said when asked how he used moonlight to kill a werewolf: “You’re seventy percent water but you can still drown.”
Also it’s very possible for a person to drink so much water that they die, and the same is true with any food source.

Allright time to clear some things up. Temujin (khans birth name. we all call him by his title) was once this kid small. weak and scared of big dogs. lived on the edge for years due to a system that just perpeulated violence. Dude went out to change that. Got shit in order. Destroyed alot of the inefective noble houses and actualy put people who knew what the figgity fuck they where doing in charge. Had a huge ass council. Made his army effective by adapting and putting looting after the fight not during.
The man was no saint. Thats not what im saying. He did truely awful things. BUT what most good leaders want to do. Make things better for his people. Now did he leave the world a better place then when he started. debatable. But he did leave with his people for once. Standing proud.
now when it comes to our favorit cartoon bug queen. just remember she is a queen of shapeshifters whos soul reason for survival is acting and lying to eat.
So wait if they used love ( which the changeling feast on) wouldn’t they be over flowing food. I mean not to be a critic but just saying. And if chrysalis feasts on love, wouldn’t that make her stronger then before. Almost like pouring gasoline to put out a fire.
@441TheSecond
Forgot about that. Yeah, first ecologically minded warlord, too! Just like a lumberjack what plants more trees than he cuts. He had to think about who he would steal from in the future, after all!
Also it looks like I forgot to put the series after Malcolm. Derp. Malcolm the Jester is from the Legend of Kyrandia series.
@Trickquestion
Just look at the leaps and bounds places like Kiev garnered simply because they DIDN’T FIGHT HIM and became tributory trading partners instead.
Unfortunately, none of his kids had a lick of financial or business acumen. For a warlord, he kept good books. But then his kids went and lost it all. What a waste of an empire. All that work only to lose it in a single generation.
@441TheSecond
80% were dumb enough to fight. The rest, well, he just had a few bad days here and there. It’s not like his much more avaricious cousins in the west had less ambition, and in fact many more had more bloodlust. They just had less opportunity and manpower with which to exercise it. Plus they were surrounded by each other, while he was wholly invading, and could drop what was too difficult to hold at any time.
@relicariox
I would have done worse. Those things are HIDEOUS
Bushwoolies the second, anyone? Time to get a light…
Yeah, I definitely don’t fault that one.
Nothing beats the Berbils though. Even Furby isn’t that bad. Frickin’ Berbils.
Those don’t get just fire, but CHAINSWORDS ON FIRE
@441TheSecond
She needs to invite Twilight over for a calm dinner full of witty banter while asking if she’d like to play a game of checkers while changelings trap ponies in revolving doors and blast them soundlessly full of (magical) holes before taking their places. All while Vivaldi plays in the background.
@Takuto_Shindou
Alucard (Hellsing)
Mayuri Kurotsuchi (Bleach)
Keiya Tenpouin (Evil Zone/Eretzvaju)
Hidehiko Uesugi/Brad (Persona series)
literally ANYBODY from Section 8 (DC)
Sun Ce (Dynasty version, he’s a bit of a merciless smug ass, but leaking Heroic Charisma all the same. Becomes one of the 3 main heroes of Orochi Warriors)
The Bard (The Bard’s Tale hack&slash remake)
Shin Kazama (Area 88, though can’t tell if it should count since it does come as a result of him losing his grip on reality)
Take awhile to list, but roughly 30% of Super Robot pilots get it at least once. Typically those that hail from the Go Nagai School of Hot-Blooded Insane Punchy-man Heroism. They REALLY love fighting.
Zalman Clock (BlackBloodBrothers)
Malcolm the Jester (well, okay, he was a villain first, then he switched sides. He still had the sadistically unsettling grin either way though.) BOTH Fargus the Jester and Sid (Pandemonium)
General Zod (Z) Well okay, it’s hard to see because he’s a robot, but he’s based on Kilgore, the VILLAIN of Apocalypse Now. He enjoys dead bodies and scrapped bots just a bit too much.
aaand I could continue schooling ya crazy kids, but yer eating into my own comic reading time. :Þ
I would wager a guess that the 90s basically gave us a ratio of 15% antihero across the board who abuse ‘that look’ far more than their respective villains do. And there are also those whom you can’t see the faces of, but just KNOW they have a grin like that, for example Darkman. He really loves his vengeance. Even more pronounced in the movies where you get to hear him mock the villains as he mindfucks them with his incredibly realistic masks and gets them fighting and suspecting each other of being Darkman. The Shadow is also written this way (He’s basically The Scarecrow as a hero with minor actual superpowers), but fails to get it across because he’s played by a Baldwin.
@Zincy
It is a real shame the Yankee political landscape is such that declaring yourself God and building a pyramid out of the skulls of your enemies would be received poorly. Might add a bit of color to things.
I still think you guys seriously dropped the ball with Osama’s corpse. Rather then dumping him on Spongebob’s lawn like some passed out frat boy, you should have made a wine glass out of his skull and arm bones, and a nice necklace made from his teeth. It make a good impression on visiting diplomats I wager.
“I am the punishment of God…If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”
He may have been a little bat-shit crazy. He believed he was sent by god to purge the world of weakness. *note that he blended many religions into his own personal belief, however, he is using the term “god” here ambiguously.
@Zincy
Killing some people? I can understand, I mean, it’s the ancient world, and it’s war, people are going to die, I get that.
…But did he really need to kill THAT MANY PEOPLE? Jesus Christ, you could build the Great Pyramid with all the corpses he laid, and there’d be still enough material to make a sculpture of a giant cock with mincemeat.
All good empires have to spill a little blood here and there. No one ever said conquest was clean.
Remember, in war, the enemy is whoever is opposite of you. History decides whose killings were justified, even though both sides have blood on their hands.
Still, I guess he did go a little overboard. You get a little carried away when you’re pretty much unstoppable.
He was good for his subjects. Oh, and he made the eastern trade routes the safest they had ever been! …and indirectly led to the plague moving westward and ultimately putting the fate of humanity in jeopardy. But hay, look at all the silk and spice that moved!
@Takuto_Shindou
I like to think that the writer knew that Chrysalis often wore Leather Pants, so he went out of his way to affirm that Chrysalis is evil in the most unambiguous way possible.
@441TheSecond
See, Khan may have been a mass murdering, whore banging psychopath, but he was a mass murdering, whore banging psychopath with a vision, and I can respect a man with a vision. Plus, as long he wasn’t in the process of conquering you, Mongolia was a pretty good place to live, and most of the people he was killing weren’t much better then he was, objectively speaking.
@Zincy
That’s alright, but don’t pretend he was a good guy not even for a second, he was not evil AT BEST.
Same thing for Chrysalis, except that it’s been made very, very, VERY clear that she’s as evil as she can be without the writer appearing on the episode and yelling “SHE’S EVIL!” directly into your face.

What is the stat again, something like 1 in 200 people can trace their line back to him somehow?
Well, to be fair, he did try to compensate for the people he killed.
And by that I mean he laid a LOT of women.
“I am the punishment of God…If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”

After that scene i really won’t buy that idw is canon.
Just saying, even if he did good things, it’s counter-weighted by all the corpses of innocent peasants that he left on his wake.
He was good for his subjects. Oh, and he made the eastern trade routes the safest they had ever been! …and indirectly led to the plague moving westward and ultimately putting the fate of humanity in jeopardy. But hay, look at all the silk and spice that moved!
I like to think that the writer knew that Chrysalis often wore Leather Pants, so he went out of his way to affirm that Chrysalis is evil in the most unambiguous way possible.
I…didn’t see this.
I knew Idw was darker than Mlp but for god sakes that’s darker than DIGIMON
