Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

I don't really get the furor over minions, though that might be because I haven't been exposed to the memes. They're charming but also somewhat banal, and those aren't mutually exclusive in my opinion.

Rabbids and Minions are terrible when they become the focus, but fine when they're in the background. Although that never really happened with Rabbids, they were instantly the focus and instantly terrible.

Rabbids were so forced that they put loving three of them into a TMNT game for....reasons?

One of them was named "Splinter Rabbid", but was actually a tie-in for Splinter Cell. Who thought this was a good idea at all?

Taking hits

Fire rips at their lungs
Holy mountain take us away

Someone who thought it'd be a funny joke to play on grown adults who care about a Ninja Turtles Smash Brothers clone on the Wii, that's who.

I imagine it was more a BRANDING! SYNERGY! CROSS PROMOTION! kind of thought process than a "haha let's gently caress with the nerds" one, but I suppose it could have been both.

A discussion in BSS about Jack Kirby's designs for Roger Zelazny's "Lord of Light" led me looking for alternate interpretations. And I found this artist who has done some pretty fantastic work, getting the mix between fantasy and superscience almost perfect.

These need to be seen in high resolution so here's the full images as thumbs.

There's a bunch more, too, if you're a fan of the book (and I am a huge fan of the book).
