Topic	The whole premise of Aquaman is stupid - spoilers
Viking_Mudcrap 07/23/18 11:25:49 AM #12:	ParanoidObsessive posted... England, 1714. Queen Anne, last surviving ruler of the House of Stuart, dies without leaving an heir. The British trace established bloodlines back to the nearest existing descendant of King James I (his great-grandson) who happens to be a middle-aged German-born noble. They immediately whisk him off to England, where he is crowned George I (establishing the House of Hanover) - in spite of the fact that he knows absolutely nothing about Britain, and literally cannot speak English (to the point where the citizens tend to look down on him for being an idiot, and otherwise have very little respect or reverence for him). His son (George II) was also born in Germany and was about 30 years old the first time he ever saw England, and HIS son (George III) is the one we always think of generally doing nothing other than being the king who lost the American colonies and then eventually going insane. Hey, that is a neat story, thanks. ParanoidObsessive posted... And while the house name changed after Queen Victoria (because royal lines pass through male lines, not female), that same line of kings that started with a German and which contained at least one lunatic, one sex addict, and one borderline Nazi (who almost became king shortly before WWII) is still the bloodline sitting on the throne today. Isn't that just pathetic? Imagine living in a country in which your taxes go so the "royal family" can be comfortable. ParanoidObsessive posted... It only feels weird to you because we don't really think that way anymore, and because you didn't grow up in a monarchy. No worries, I understand the logic. It's still illogical and fucking stupid. The fact that "Royalty" still exist ins some parts of the world and that people watch the "Royal Wedding" or call someeone a "prince" is illogical and stupid. You really outta check your reality if you think someone life has a higher value than your own just becuase they were born to a speficic family. --- stuff <cite>Viking_Mudcrap posted [p:905576572] in The whole ...
