Hasbro Made-to-Order Figures

I would buy a Krule figure IMMEDIATELY.

Me too. Actually customizing a (probably over-large) Krule using the BBWS purple Titan as base. Difficult scale; not a lot of fodder.

Off-topic: Krule is one of the Externals, Marvel's mutant take on Highlander, and is thus immortal. Is there an in-universe explanation for how Krule has lived many lives in society when he's monstrous and purple? Tuck Everlasting addressed the interesting, sad idea that, were you eternally fixed at an age, you'd need to keep moving or people would notice and ostracize you. That would be true even for a normal looking person but Krule is ... conspicuous. How does this guy buy eggs?

Now that’s a blast from the past.
I think Winnie was totally foolish to not just DRINK THE DAMN WATER.
I never understand when characters turn down immortality, I felt the same way while reading The Little Vampire books as a kid. Just let her bite you, kid!!! I mean OK maybe wait until you are 18 or whatever but COME ON!!

I feel like he just... takes.. the eggs. Krule doesn't seem like the kind of guy that's too worried about being conspicuous.

When I first saw Fellowship in the theater, I thought Arwen said "I choose immortal life", and I was like damn, that's a hard shutdown for my boy.

Was she still a kid? I could see waiting until you're 25 or so to drink the water, but yeah I'm definitely drinking the water. It's been awhile since I gave that book any thought.

She was indeed quite young, but they were literally all “come drink the water when you are ready” and she did not. Meh.

Like, I get it: the moral is like “choose a normal human life because reasons”, but I’m personally not interested in being normal nor in being human.
Humans suck.

Yeah but if you're immortal and it turns out you can't die but you can suffocate or burn eternally as the atmosphere is burned away or just straight up left on a dead rock awaiting the heat death of the universe, that would kind of suck. Just a bit.

That sounds like being in the Hell of Christian dogma.
But, like, way to make complete lack of existence sound like a lovely alternative!
🤣

I feel like for at least a few decades you'd just be like 'ah, at least all those people fucked off finally. They were the worst.'

I think back to two sci-fi stories that give off similar vibes. First was "The Big Chill" comic from Alan Moore about Mr. Majestic.

It was about Mr. Majestic, the Wildstorm universe's analog for Superman (in case anyone isn't aware, unlikely I know). He is at the end of time and just watched the last mortal being die. He heads back to a ship with other immortals. During the comic there is a part where it talks about how he lived long enough to forget basically his own origins, name and basically everyone he knew. Now living in the moment.

Similar to the Doctor Who episode about the earth girl who became immortal (Maisie Williams played her). Her name was Ishieldar or something when the Doctor met her in the past. Then at the end of the universe he meets her again and it turns out she goes by the name "Me" because as she puts it (Paraphrasing)....."unlimited life, limited hard drive space" (meaning her brain/memory). She had forgotten pretty much everything about her origins.

Anyway long story short I think that would be the case here. Yep glad to be rid of them, but a couple decades on from that remembering who they were, or even who you are, would become impossible, or meaningless.
