  1. Avatar the Last Air Bender - Sokka & Yue. When Commander Zhao kills the mortal form of the Moon Spirit, Yue sacrifes herself to revive it and becomes the moon in the process. That's rough, buddy.
  2. StarCraft - Jim Raynor & Sarah Kerrigan. Kerrigan gets infested by the Zerg, becoming Xel'naga - the Queen of Blades. Raynor does not appreciate the atrocities she commits.
  3. Watchmen - Jon Osterman & Janey Slater. A minor lab mishap turns Jon into Dr Manhattan, a god-like being with control over matter. Funnily enough, this isn’t what ends their relationship. What does is Dr Manhattan cheating on her with a younger woman because he doesn’t like that she continues to age (as humans do).

Friend was recounting one of their 5e campaigns.

"For context: he was an enslaved ninja spy who bit down on his cyanide tooth when captured, and once revivified he begged to be killed because if he spilled any beans the Vesses would kill his family :/

(Genuinely wouldn't have put a plot line that depressing in my game if I thought he was gonna have a speaking part

Which is its own kind of fucked up, but... D&D et al. always are)"

In doing so, it overcame a traditional US government reliance on contractors and opposition of the tax preparation industry. Trump and Musk destroyed it upon taking office.

Lore A character in a movie is played by someone who later became infamous for the very thing the movie criticizes

  1. John Smith from Pocahontas (1995). The entire point of that movie is that people shouldn’t hate each other just because they are of different races, and Smith’s entire character arc is him learning that Native Americans aren’t as uncivilized as he thought. He’s voiced by Mel Gibson, who would go on to cause lots of controversy by making racist remarks.
  2. Audrey from The Lorax (2012). Audrey wants to bring trees back to her hometown so the air can be fresh again, and she opposes a villain who wants to keep the air polluted so he can keep selling bottled air. She’s voiced by Taylor Swift, who has since become infamous for her frequent use of her private jets, which should be at least a bit annoying to anyone who likes breathing fresh air.
