The original... like the Grimms' fairy tales, it's pretty effed up! LOL

--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on August 06, 2012, 12:02:35 AM ---I'm gonna go with Snow White. It has a lot of my favorite elements. There's angst - Snow White has a tragic back story, having lost both her parents, and is at odds with her stepmother, who is deeply jealous of her. There's suspense - the queen wants Snow White dead and sends the huntsman to kill her. There's the hint of violence and gore with the fact that she wants him to cut out Snow White's heart. There's comic relief when she goes to live with the dwarves. There's drama when the queen finds her and gives her the poison apple, putting her to sleep. And there's romance when the prince comes and wakes her with the kiss of true love. It has a little bit of everything that I love!

You know, I was gonna say I bet you'd pick Snow White LOL.

You know I did not know that, I knew all about the Grimms' stories but not about Little Mermaid LOL.

Were you? Awesome! It was either that or Sleeping Beauty, but Snow White was my first thought.
FrickingKaos:
Yeah in the original story the prince marries someone else, and she was so heartbroken she committed suicide in the end. True story.

That is a hard question! My mind instantly sort of went to Beauty and the Beast, just because of the super angsty beast who's upset, and there are characters all around him trying to help and fix the situation, but the only one who truly ends up really solving the issue is Belle. And also there's that lighthearted element with the awesome Gaston song (yeah I'm going with the Disney version - because who doesn't love the Gaston song?) and then he ultimately loses. There's also that portion where the two characters from two different worlds end up learning from each other, and that is definitely one of my favourite plotlines in any type of media lol I looove the Romeo and Juliet factor.

I love the angst of Beauty and the Beast!!
Have you ever read the fanfic Faceless? If not, you should read it. Nick = Beast. Lots of angst. It's delightful.
