      Storm trooper helmets are GL’s caricature of excessive plastic surgery: dimple chin implant, massive jaw implants, botoxed forehead (raise your eye brows, you can’t, can ya?), no nose to speak of, check implants, massive lip injections, no hair, etc. He wanted the bad guys to represent the vain actors he has to deal with every day

      The same thing has happened to Star Trek and its fan films. Collectively, these are more than just franchises -- they are present-day mythology, and the stories are owned by the people who revere them, tell them, and add to them. That's why, unlike most franchises, fans get *very angry* at the current copyright holders for mistreating it.

      @EvertfromNederland Год назад +138

      yep. In fact in WW1, There where so many wolves displaced from their habitats and drawn to the dead body's on the battlefield, the Germans and Russians decided to quit fighting each other for a few days and focus on clearing the wolves from the battlegrounds before they commenced fighting.
      EDIT:
      i did some digging. It's fact there where many wolves attracted to the bodies and also that they where displaced and formed a threat to both German and Russian soldiers. So it is not unreasonable to think that at certain moments both parties had a common enemy they'd rather be fighting. However the "wolf truce" i described seems to be romanticised and is never confirmed by Russian reports (like the Christmas truce was). I seem to be mislead a bit by news articles that where quoting eachother rather than independant sources. So I am backtracking a bit here. I don't think it's accurate to call it an actual "truce". Sorry to have mislead you

      This is correct. Many times a posted soldier would be given an order to guard the perimeter or the like. If an enemy patrol went by but wasn’t attacking they would many times let them go because their orders weren’t to just kill every enemy. They saw them simply as other kids like themselves and not an enemy at that moment.
