Classic Disney movies for the win.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is so good. It’s so freakin’ good. Judge Claude Frollo is the best Disney villain.


If I remember correctly, the plan for Frollo was to genuinely make him truly evil and hated just by making him a shitty, greedy, selfish, horrible person.

Disney was tired of the light, playful, beloved villains so they went hardcore on Frollo, things got too dark and they went back to their normal ways.

Disney was tired of the light, playful, beloved villains so they went hardcore on Frollo, things got too dark and they went back to their normal ways.

Lust, racism, and power made him more realistic than most Disney villains. Perhaps they thought it went too far, so they never really made an evil character quite so believable.

He's definitely the most "yeeesh" Disney villain, and Hunchback is the second-most "what they hell Disney?" Disney movie.

And in Prince of Egypt's defense, there was no way they were going to salvage that, given the narrative.

It's because it was such a descriptively detailed title.

The hardest thing right now is trying to not lose the Wendish Empire, since I've actually been overthrown once: got the fucking usurper overthrown a couple months later, but he still kept Krakow.

*sigh*

And to make things worse, because they imposed gavelkind on the Kingdom of Poland, I had to give *that* title to someone else, since all I have are daughters.

There’s a thread for Paradox related discussion, but I’m gonna tell you right here.
If you’re very unpopular with all of your vassals, go full tyrant. Reshape your Empire. Imprison everyone you can. It’s always best to find a diplomatic solution to your internal problems, but at a certain point you should just say “Welp, they can’t hate me any more than they already do.”
Just don’t be too reckless. This strat can either save your dynasty’s status or destroy it. It will either send your Empire into prosperity or many years of civil war.

Thanks.

Anyway, on a related note, we finally got the grocery shopping done, so my family doesn't have to order in! :)

Five times the recommended waking hours, are you mad son?!

Just... eat more eucalyptus leaves, alright? Keep yourself extra alert for those extra hours of strategic tree climbing.

And here I was complaining because I once had a 12 hour shift (with breaks). That was the time when a crap ton of people visited our camp to celebrate the newly-appointed Officers (1st Lt.).

I will never complain again.
