Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!

[Blastotoise]

Hey.
I almost forgot about Hades. He's pretty evil.

Oh yeah! Forgot about him! My sis was pretty fanatical about that movie when she was younger (I'm pretty sure she still has those plates from McDonalds with the characters faces on 'em). So yeah, biggest jerk Disney bad guys are Coachman, Scar, and Hades in my opinion.

You remember those? I used to have the plate with the girl on it! Was her name Meg or something? I completely forgot about those things.

It most certainly was - that plate was definitely her favourite haha. Out of curiousity, did anyone other than me see the third Aladdin movie (King of Thieves, if I remember it correctly)? It was pretty cool, it's based on the tale of King Midas (for anyone who doesn't know the full story, King Midas entertains a guest that was brought to him utterly drunk for 10 days. On the 11th day, the guest lets Midas have one wish, and he asks that whatever he touches turns to gold. At first, he goes around like a little kid touching all sorts of little things, utterly delighted with his new gift. But when he goes to eat and drink, the food and water turn to solid gold too. When he sees his daughter, he touches her without thinking and she turns into a statue of gold. Horrified, he hunts down the guest [who had left after he gave Midas the golden touch] and gets him to take the gift/curse off) which is one of my favourites.

The king Midas story is great. YOu know what else is? QUOTE TUNNELS!

THIS IS CALLED A QUOTE PYRAMID! @_@; FTW!
OT: What exactly are we talking about? I c disney stuff from everywhere!

Yeah, I've seen that one. Haven't seen the second one, though. I personally thought the first Aladdin was the best. I liked that song at the beginning....totally blanking at the words. Used to know them all.

As for my favorite Disney song....that's impossible to say. THere are so man! I'll Make a Man Out of You is very good, as is Reflection. Lion King also has great songs, as does Hercules. Oh, and we just watched Hercules in English class. We're doing a unit on heroes, and they all tend to follow certain guidelines (a "descent into darkness", a protecting charm, a hazardous journey, etc.). It bugs me that the Disney movie is nothing like the real myth, but on its own it's pretty cool. Zero to Hero is a good song, as is I Won't Say I'm in Love. Jungle Book was also cool! How could I forget about Shere Khan? He has my vote for best villian, and that may or may not be because I played Shere Khan in our production of The Jungle Book (and I may or may not have been totally awesome, though the first is more likely :D ).

Hi! I actually have all three Aladin movies on DVD.

Going off of what Saber said, there's this thing called the hero's journey, which most "hero" stories follow. It goes something like this (though I don't have my book handy, so I'm probably a little off): The Ordinary Life (pretty self explanatory > The Call to Adventure (hero is called to adventure, usually by some other person) > The Journey (the hero leaves, begins the journey, makes friends and enemies, etc) > The Final Battle (the hero faces off against the villian) > Return to the Ordinary Life (the hero either returns home or realizes that, because of things that happened during the journey, he either can't or doesn't want to). I think I over simplified it a little, but you get the idea.

If you're talking about Greek hero myths though, those follow a somewhat different pattern. Something like this: Hero's Origin (about the hero's origins) > Heroic Journey (the hero does great things) > Hubris (the hero brings about his own downfall by pride, overconfidence, or something similiar), The Result (usually the hero doesn't survive his downfall, if he does, he sometimes gets the chance to make restitution, otherwise he typically disapears into seclusion).

I've finished my IPA Apprentice challenge! Expect some pictures and a video later.

Basically. The format in our class is The call to Adventure > The goal of the adventure > The hazardous journey > The temptations > The descent into darkness (traditionally, the hero heading to the final battle) > The wound recieved > The actual prize of the quest (for example, guy sets out to find mighty gauntlet of power but the real prize is how he learned not to be prideful and a jerk). There is also the charm that protects the hero. We have these little charts (which I've come to loathe) that we have to fill in for every of of these stories.

Oh, I havn'tseen all the Alladin movies.. I just mean that old story of King Midas.. ^^

[PoikSpirit]

Ooh, Hades! I love that guy, even if he is a villain! He's not supposed to be one, but whatever.

Yeah, Hera was typically a villian, or just a jerk. Especially in the Aeneid. Hades was cool. And he's named after Mickey Mouse's dog! Or was that the other way around.

Aladin # the first is arguably the best movie Disney ever made. The third was okay, but the second kind of dropped out. We didn't even bother getting it and we have a bunch of old Disney VHS tapes.

I just fixed my internet by myself. Now it's better, faster, and stronger than it used to be. Oh and anything using internet. ( CoD2, finally, no more punkbuster eating my soul.)

[Astral Omega]

Wow, that's awesome! great job! I wish I knew how to make my internet better.

I love that guy too. He is funny with a capital NY. xD

[Astral Omega]

I think it's official that everyone loves Hades!

He is made of awesome, win and... *giggles at imminent pun* God!

[Simsmagic]

I still prefer Yzma.

Hi!

Homecoming was fun. Had a great time.

[Astral Omega]

Yay you!
