Raya and the Last Dragon:

Option 1 (weird Magic: the Gathering reference):

  Hide contents

Someone REALLY wanted to rewrite the Fate Reforged and Dragons of Tarkir storylines, but they kept the Khans of Tarkir parts.

Honestly, I don't blame them.

Option 2:

  Hide contents

Disney's best attempt at Mad Max

Option 3:

  Hide contents

Con-baby OP. Please nerf.

Option 4:

  Hide contents

Terrible trigger discipline causes an ultra-religious woman to accidentally kill her god.

 

Don't understand the first one, but the other three are spot on!

It being mental health awareness month, I'm going to call you out on this - though I probably would've anyway. Shallan is not schizophrenic; she is part of a DID system.

Yeah, I just looked it up and that fits much better. Shallan’s mental state (and all of Sanderson’s characters mental states) are very interesting to me, so thanks for correcting me!

In your defence, due to a somewhat confusing etymology, DID and schizophrenia are often conflated in media, despite having little in common.

What? Endgame? That isn't Endgame!

Then what is it?
