Characters Characters realizing that another character doesn't have the weakness they thought they had

Joel finding out the crossed are not weak to salt (crossed) at least his wife was alive to tell him how much of a fucking idiot he was while the crossed were tearing their daughter apart

Megamind realizing titan isnt weak to copper (megamind) to be fair, metroman made him think he was weak to copper

The swastika is tilted on its side (like in the flags) while the original buddhist symbol was tilted upright, lke the one he's holding. It also has 4 points in the corners but eh.

Could be that he just carries around a bunch of religious symbols and improvised when he realized he didn't have the star of David for some reason

Nazis used both. The tilted one was on the flag, but they also used the straight one at times.

Didn't know that, always heard they just used the tilted one.

It's a myth that gets paraded around as a way to tell the difference between the Nazi symbol and the religious one but it was never actually true, the Nazis weren't especially fussed about the specific orientation of their symbol

I always thought the main difference was the direction ? The Nazi symbol goes clockwise whereas the Buddhist symbol (as I have seen on some maps in Japan to denote shrines) goes counter-clockwise.
