Precisely. But Herzog’s Van Helsing was a very different character from the original, a regular doctor who didn’t believe in vampires or other supernatural phenomena. 

More importantly, the Soulslike stories consist of the player putting together the narrative from vague hints and minor tidbits they encounter along the way. Although Elden Ring’s backstory is a bit more fleshed out than its predecessors, it still doesn’t bend well to a conventional story structure.

Through the Halls of Mandos, beyond them and into the unknown. The elven spirits stay in Mandos.

Whatever the Barrow-wights are, they are absolutely not the ghosts of Men buried in the barrows. The Downs of Tyrn Gorthad are absolutely ancient and go all the way back to the First Age, but they were built by the ancestors of Edain, not followers of Morgoth, and the later Dúnedain considered them a sacred place and…

Well, the Barrow Wights better not show up in their LotR haunts, considering that they were only summoned there by the Witch-King of Angmar during the Third Age. Exactly what they are or where they come from is one of those details that Tolkien never elaborated on; he originally envisioned them as a lesser version of…

Keep your murder fantasies to yourself. 

Keep in mind that the book is not an accurate telling of what happened, but some historian’s attempt at making sense of the distant past through biased sources. There’s plenty left open to interpretation on what “actually” took place. 

Except that Anakin’s big deal was that he was supposedly born without any person’s intervention, spontaneously from the Force, while the twins obviously weren’t. Though, depending on what EU material you consider canon, Anakin might have actually been an experiment by Darth Plagueis, as well.

So what, following a different religion and practicing artificial insemination means that you deserve to be burned alive? What the hell? 

The whole conflict started when Freca, a chieftain with both Rohirrim and Dunlending background tried to marry his son, Wulf, to Helm’s unnamed daughter. Helm found the proposition so insulting that he killed Freca with a single punch and outlawed Wulf. Wulf returned with a Dunlending army and conquered Rohan, forcing…

How curious it is to hear that Armand thinks Claudia will soon perish, her teenage body no match for her vampiric powers. Ponder.

It apparently originated from the accusations that Batman and Robin were promoting homosexuality. 

The “exorcism” of children is invariably child abuse, it’s just a question of whether it’s also sexual in nature. 

Bizarre corpse cult stuff. I recently visited Rome and the corpses put on display are just freaky.

We can’t build a big enough of a telescope to properly see lightyears away.

But Hammond proudly mentioned multiple times how they spared no expenses

In those days soldiers usually paid for their own equipment, so you had what you could afford. A king or other important person might pay for their bodyguards’ stuff, but armies were self-funded.

It’s indeed not great for the Brian Herbert prequels that are supposed to portray a tumultuous time period when major shifts in power should occur, but in the main timeline of the saga the changelessness is justified by the sheer stagnation of the Empire, and how much effort the shadowy cabals of the Spacing Guild and…

It was strongly implied, he was explicitly confirmed to be a Wizard, at least.

Funny, I thought that Fallout’s one noticeable problem was the too plastic-y sets.
