    It’s really clear with that movie that the original ending was for the guy to stay dead. The movie chickens out and loses its real pathos by letting him both sacrifice himself and still get to be alive again.

        That’s one of my hyperfixations, so yes, if you follow my account you will see reviews of the Bible frequently.

        (And yeah, Jesus stayed dead. He was a messianic figure who was supposed to topple the Roman occupiers, died, and then the early Jewish Christian community cope gradually became that he came back to life. Him staying dead didn’t work well with test audiences, in other words.)

        Elfen Lied, that weird mediocre anime/manga that got popular in the midnaughts for being a horny gore fest does it constantly, at least once an issue.

        Oh, you watched this guy get hacked apart limb from limb? Don’t worry, he’ll be back next issue to form a relationship with a girl half his age.

      The amount of correcting I’ve had to do and clarifications I’ve needed to get/give from/to an elementary school kid, from their sheer lack of knowing what the fuck is going on around them at all times, tells me that no, we don’t need more kids trolling adults. They do it naturally and constantly.

      It’s fucking hilarious most times, though.

          Telling unwholesome people to fuck off out of a wholesome community is exactly what is needed here.

          Just like tolerance, the wholesome paradox does not exist.
