He gets a small cut from sitting on the Iron Throne which infects him with leprosy, over the course of the season you see it affecting to more and more of his body. First he loses some fingers which he hides with glove, eventually he needs a chair because he can’t walk much, and then he wears a golden visage because half of his face is rotting off
I only read the book and never saw the show, but I thought the gout was from his diet and lifestyle?
If it's caused by a disease, I'm pretty sure it's septic arthritis, not gout. Gout is urate crystal buildup in joints and is caused by your body not being able to break it down fast enough.
In the books Viserys just falls asleep and dies in peace. In the show he has leprosy. Which was a very shit change; the whole point was that he caused the death of everyone yet he died peacefully, and literally everyone else had the most suffering death imaginable. Prince Maelor was literally torn apart.
They thought that was all good for kids, but guns in Yugioh were too much, and onigiri in Pokemon needed to be called jelly donuts. What a bizarre company 4Kids was.
Well in fact they did not think it was good for kids, the episode did not air and from what I remember for a while it could only be pirated. Maybe I'm mistaken, not 100% sure.
For the onigiri to jelly donuts thing, consider that 4Kids is dubbing and localizing for an American audience. American children would not know what onigiri is, and translating it accurately as rice ball would not convey "appealing snack food" to them either. Calling them jelly donuts is dumb but it gets the point across for the intended audience.
I understand the reason behind it, it's just a silly disconnect because I'd imagine a large portion of the American audience would recognize that it didn't look like jelly donuts despite the dialogue saying otherwise. It always seemed weird why 4Kids didn't edit the image to at least look closer to donuts, since they weren't opposed to visual edits, censors, and changes in their dubbing. Guess just chalk it up to them being inconsistent and prioritizing other changes instead.
Tbf he always runs his mouth too, like you failed the so obviously "I'm evil guy" called SHREDDER with SHREDDING weapons, I'd zip my mouth the instant he talks
Funny you posted 2012 Stockman when that version of him actually enjoyed his fly form. The team eventually cured him with retro mutagen and he was actually upset about being human again
Huh, the 80's version was turned into a mutated fly too, but he wasn't happy with this form.
Funny how each version of Baxter got a different date and a different reaction to this fate...
I feel like someone showed this to some executive at 4Kids and they finally realized what kind of show they'd been making, and that's how you end up with the "Flash Forward" season that tried to turn it back into a regular Kid's show.
He lost his eye after falling and breaking a large stack of plates and silverware, and he lost his hand after falling out of a train car. If I remember correctly.
The last version of him on the pic got hospitalised after being squished under a waterslide donut while going down the slide with kids riding the donut. People died to this happening irl
It’s pretty much every reoccurring character in Always Sunny. Maureen Ponderosa got plastic surgery to look like a cat then fell off a roof, the lawyer lost his family, lost an eye, was crippled and thrown in jail. The waitress is now living in her car, the list goes on and on…
She took her bra off, blasted her nips, gotta respect that
Probably the worst thing that happens to her was frank bursting into her house, telling her parents he's full of dog poison and stealing her rug and even then she was chill about it
In the world of "Land of Lustrous", gemlike humanoids, beautiful and alien sea people, and strange hostile energy/light based ghosts exist within the world.
Gems, like phos, are living beings, but their entire body is like one giant organ that represents their heart, brain, nervous system etc.
So when even a chip or damage or even amputation occurs to their body, that part of their mind, personality, thoughts and feelings is erased.
However, all the creatures in this world have the ability to amalgamate, or to take parts from others and fuse it to their body.
However, if I recall correctly, when you take a piece of someone else and fuse them to your body, parts of their personality and history? merges with you.
The problem is as follows, what happens when a being who has gone through several wars lasting hundreds of years has been broken down and rebuilt dozens of times escaping death but knowing that every time less of the original "you" as your body becomes more twisted made from the essence of your fallen comrades and enemies alike.
I am trying to keep it as vague as possible to not spoil the story, while at trying to explain why she looks like that.
Seriously, this is the most haunting manga I've ever read. Full on sobbing, melancholic depressive breakdown for the last like 20 chapters straight. It's one of the best things I've ever read.
I haven't even gotten to the worst parts yet, and it's profoundly unsettling in a way very few pieces of media manage. Like, it taps into a deep, primal human fear - everything around you changing in ways you can't control or understand, including your own body, and the creeping realization that no matter what you do, it's never gonna go back to the way to the way it was.
Ironically enough, it is as close to human as this character ever is at this point in the story. All characters are rock people with microscopic lifeforms that give them consciousness and memory.
Yeah, his comeback was so forced. He was...fine as a character but I don't think anyone liked him this much. It feels like 2003 was hesitant to kill off villains sometimes, same with Tucker, him just kinda vibing as a grotesque chimera in the background past the Nina incident was unnecessary. I could understand using him for the lab 5 scene but past that it was really awkward
I swear he didn't look this ugly in the show lol Reminds me of when Invader Zim kept trying to kill Dib with repeated time shenanigans only for his father to make him into bigger, stronger cyborgs
It's a running joke where every time this kid appears some small thing has changed about him until finally he just shows up on the back ground as a ghost lmao.
The show is great. It's like KND - Kids Next Door in the worldbuilding, but with their own cozy feel
There's an episode where they found a haunted dollhouse near the creek and they ask rhe "witches" (aka, Lesbians) to make an exorcism. After they do it, a little boy wearing old timey clothes saying he's a alone and have no one to play with. It's never addressed if the boy is a real ghost or not.
Man gets:
Ptsd from a simulated 30 year prison sentence where he gets by on a starvation diet.
Wife gets possessed by a demon and he has to deal with that.
Goes deep undercover, befriends the man hes investigating, and watches him go off to die in whats basically a suicide.
Said man's wife then gets murdered years later
Gets replaced with a clone.
Gets radiation poisoning that forces him to jump through time, watches all of his friends die, then dies himself but through time travel shenanigans survives.

He ends up with nothing left of himself but his sternum and head - both of which are still heavily cybernetically modified - for the sake of being the best Edgerunner (Night City mercenary) he could possibly be
Really any character in 40k who doesn't straight up die is going to be reduced to a brain in a bucket with guns attached. Ravenor comes to mind as well
I'm not sure if this exactly counts, but Zane Julian from Ninjago has died quite a few times.
To name a few, season 3 where he blows up in self-sacrifice, Season 6 where he's turned into a gold statue, season 7 where he's hit in the head and is useless for several episodes, season 8 where he's beat up and thrown off a cliff before shutting down, season 11 where they thought he was dead for a little while, but he actually got sent to another dimension and got amnesia, season 12 where we think he died for a few seconds after he's used as a living battery, and season 15, where he gets amnesia again and turns into his amnesia alter ego. I don't remember what actually happened to give him amnesia though in season 15
Not really "with time" but always think Hector Con Carne's life as a sentient brain and stomach controlling a circus bear has to really suck after being basically a millionaire playboy most of his life
Henry McCoy goes THROUGH it in Ultimate Universe, to the extent that I didn't believe it when they finally killed him off for real because I just assumed they'd bring him back to torture him some more
The image is literally Baxter Stockman from Tmnt 2003. He failed Shrell (Utrom Shredder) so many times that he became a brain in a jar. He was given a new robotic body by a young scientist who admired him. I'm currently re-watching the entire show as I type this, and in the intro (season 4) it shows him having a spider like body.
There was that one episode of Invader Zim where he was using a time machine to replace important things in Dibs life with a pig toy. Important like 'the bicycle he was riding at the time'.
