    In the original novel, _The Portrait of Dorian Gray,_ he could look at the painting just fine; it was stabbing the painting that killed him. I think being closer to the book in that regard might've been better; it would make Dorian being blackmailed with the painting make more sense, and imagine if this fight had ended with Mina stabbing the painting instead of her showing him the painting.

    • @blackpanther6389
      @blackpanther6389 Před 6 měsíci +22

      Hmm. Yeah - I didn't understand the whole blackmailing him with the picture if he had to look at it to undo the curse. I like this idea more though just because of the creepiness of it. I'd be freaked out about a living painting and my likeness was painted as a dead man. That means he could never see it until it was time for him to go and it's revealed to all of us, and it's quite a creepy looking picture. That's just me though, of course.

      maybe her stabbing him (and him remaining stabbed) was a roundabout way of them retaining that aspect of the story. could be that one of them had to be stabbed while looking at one another.

As Dr Seward explains in the book as they are discussing their plan to kill Dracula " . . at the very outset of our meeting I experienced a great personal relief. Mrs Harker sent a message by her husband to say that she would not join us at present, as she thought it better that we should be free to discuss our movements without her presence. I felt that Mrs Harker knew that her husband would be going into danger, and did not want to hear about it." The men agree that it will be better for Mina if she remains behind - "I think you are right," said Jonathan, "and I will go and talk to her now. She knows I must go and she remain, but it will be terrible for her." Sadly he rose and left the room. One must admire such love and courage." Dracula does crumble into dust, though "Before our eyes, and almost in the drawing of a breath, the whole body crumbled into dust and passed from our sight. On the face, as it dissolved and vanished, was a look of peace, such as none of us could have imagined might have rested there."

Fine; movies actually get recast all the time. But they did not pay him for the six weeks that he had worked, which under workplace laws, he had a right to be paid for. Instead they used a contract loophole to not pay him a single cent. I wonder how many CZcams commenters would be prepared to work at a job for six weeks for nothing.

Main way to kill one is to destroy the Phlyactery and the Lich's soul is released and loses connection with their body/vessel and truly dies.
      While not a mage I have to agree, since the main reason he wanted it back was so HE knew where it was hidden so no one could use it against him since it was the only thing that COULD kill him which Mina used.

      Dorian Grey isnt from the brothers Grimm, he is a character written by an Irish author Oscar Wilde. All of the characters are based on classical fiction, like Captain Nemo and Jules Verne, with Mina Murray being from Bram Stokers Dracula and Doctor Jekyll by Robert Louis Stevenson. None of the characters present in the story are FROM the brothers Grimm, as they specifically catalogued folk tales, whereas the League of Extraordinary Gentleman deals less with fairy tales and parables and more with fantasy and fiction.

      Volume I of the comic contains a short story or novella named "Alan and the Sundered Veil" in which Quartermain meets the Time Traveller. He doesn't play a significant role, though - your idea has more potential.

With proper care, oil on canvas paintings can last for centuries without tipping off all and sundry it's a magic immortality talisman.
      It wouldn't be cardboard back then for shipping paintings by the by, it was usually wooden crates with straw or other soft materials for padding, and the painting would be covered in canvas to further protect it.
