Ghost Leviathan posted:This was about my experience trying to read it recently too, yeah. The most tedious possible people to ever exist with far too much money. I know, right?! Although, I did hear a critique about these types of period-piece romances which gave me a better understanding as to why (or at least, one reason) they are popular, even though I still don't like them. Also, I know I'm slow off the bat with this, but Trixie Slaughteraxe is pretty fantastic story-wise (art potentially slightly better than power-up's stuff), and Hitmen for Destiny has some scenes in it which had me collapsed on the floor, laughing.

The fifth panel isn't wrong because that's the part in the series where they're using entire galaxies as floors and weapons, it'll just step on them

Gurren Lagaan is powered by spirals and friendship, Barney is all about shapes and love. They would be on the same side.

 His mustache is more fearsome than I had even imagined   Bar7holomew  It is Ernest Goes to Camp. That is an acceptable movie to cry at.  My pen pals are going to love this!

Does get funny since there's a few chapters where the Count actively unwinds by spending some time with the family of his old boss who was an honest businessman he bailed out from bankruptcy, which on top of tying into the ending twist is an interesting touch since he's pretty openly spending some time with decent people to decompress from loving with noveau rich assholes.

When I was littlish, we were watching Lassie and it was making me cry due to all the powerful emotional content, so I went under the sofa table to hide my tears. I was also playing with an alarm clock and somehow managed to get the key stuck in my throat. I couldn't make a sound so there I was hidden under the sofa table so no-one could see me, with tears rolling down my cheeks and choking on a loving alarm clock key while the rest of the family was watching Lassie quite at ease. It dislodged itself so I didn't die. e: Moral of the story: it's OK to cry, especially if you're like 4.

So the clock key got stuck and it made you unable to tock

Count of Monte Cristo belongs in the media that did not age well thread. There's a subplot with the Count buying a child slave, raising her, then marrying her in the end. (Not included in the Wishbone version)

Another reason to just stick with the 2002 adaptation.

(Not included in the Wishbone version) Was she a child? I thought she was around 20, and Dantes was, like, 35. But I might be mixing up various movies and the book. Haven't read/seen either in ages.

I had those abridged books too. My favourite was the Gold-Bug by Edgar Allen Poe. I read the full thing this year for the first time and I guess they must have abridged the racism out too. Talk about a story that didn't age well, woof.

I don't think Dantes is a paragon of humanity regardless of slaves.

Nessus posted:What probably complicates matters is that this was what happened with Dumas' grandparents, so I would be inclined to cut him some slack, despite death of the author and so forth. Listen, just because the creep who wrote the book is dead, it doesn't mean his gross subplot should be ignored.

The best/worst attempt at Bart from the front:  Does anyone have that comic with two dogs or bears and one of them yells “I’m too fluffy!?!” Rahonavis has a new favorite as of 04:56 on Apr 9, 2021 |

Ghost Leviathan posted:...so are you gonna tell us? Oh, sorry - what I heard was that the setting of these romances allowed for a relatively mainstream exploration of romantic relationships where there are rules/code of conduct which effectively 'protects' characters from the dangers that one can have with more modern-day relationships. Kind of like how there's war fiction. All the 'excitement' of fighting without any of the risk. (Please note, this is not me being nostalgic for the old days in any way whatsoever - I know well that what codes there were were more often than not disgustingly reactionary, and only applied to 'acceptable' classes.)
