I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.

This is anatomically wrong. Horses have a pair of teats located close to the hind legs. This centaur would be incredibly inefficient at lactating for foals.

I loved that movie when I was a kid. I was a weird kid with weird parents though. The detachable head thing reminds me of another movie I liked back then, The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen. I always remembered it as a children's film but thinking back now it was definitely not for kids. Especially the parts where Robin Williams was the king of the moon and his sex crazed body was trying to capture his disembodied intellectual head. My folks let me watch all sorts of strange poo poo though.



It's a legit movie. The most awesome mostly forgotten Terry Gilliam film.

Poor David Rappaport. As successful as he was, he still never got taken truly seriously as an actor, and it drove him to suicide.

Kind of hosed up that it took to this point in time before an actor with dwarfism was treated as a serious actor, and Dinklage is still really the only one.

Man this doesn’t even go into the whole Dorothy being admitted to an asylum for electrotherapy at the start of the movie thing.

It’s a dark, silly, weird, and visually interesting movie. It also made me realize Dorothy from Wizard of Oz was supposed to be a child.

And put me down as another weird kid who watched Time Bandits. The City of Lost Children was another favourite.

Warwick Davis gets some legit roles on UK tv these days. Played a vicar on Jonathan Creek a while back.

I think Davis is close, but he still largely subsists on "hah, look how small I am" roles. Dinklage definitely did some of that when he started out, but he seems to have resigned himself to only taking serious roles these days, even if that means he doesn't work a ton.

This is true. Norse mythology dwarves are mostly defined by their smithing skills, their size is never really mentioned.

Sounds like American McGee's Alice ripped it off. Have there ever been any Oz/Wonderland crossovers?

I like how he's been a maker of devastating superweapons with apocalyptic implications in both the X-Men and Avengers movies. (also a stealth irony in Days of Future Past as dwarfism is technically a mutation)

But does a pregnant centaur develop the foetus in their human womb or in their horse womb?

A key question, though, is whether the Eddas actually used that word, and if they did, whether they used it in that sense (at least one scholar says it meant that they were "lesser mythological beings", not literally small people). "Jötnar", for example, is typically translated into English as "giants", but that's a gloss to draw a parallel with Greek mythology; there's no reason in the text to believe they were any bigger than the Aesir or Vanir.
