Parrhesia Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 You really could've put that into the title though Not everyone's gonna backlog and wife is a fair answer if all they read was the title of favourite person Or did you not say anything about my wife just 'cuz you know her you said an actual public figure as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) I didn't read the details though and really could've just left it at my wife But if Chris Hemsworth showed up at my school I will ditch class to get his autograph Why would he I don't know Edited April 24, 2014 by Thor Odinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Walt Disney, the biggest influence in story-telling since probably Edgar Allen Poe or perhaps even further back to Shakespeare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyWalk Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Walt Disney, the biggest influence in story-telling since probably Edgar Allen Poe or perhaps even further back to Shakespeare. Story telling? I'd say he has more of an impact over the world of animation and kids media, correct me if i'm wrong but aren't the majority of Disney movies simply adaptions?

I'd say he has more of an impact over the world of animation and kids media, correct me if i'm wrong but aren't the majority of Disney movies simply adaptions? The visual aspect of an animated movie helps deliver the narrative, but perhaps I should have said entertainment. Though then I'd have to broad a range of examples to compare him to, best contributor to entertainment since so-and-so wouldn't sound as impressive since the guys who invented movies, television and radio were only a few decades before. Nevertheless, I believe that Disney's career is probably the most influential to the entertainment industry in the past century, that, along with just how cool he was is why he's my #1. I have other favourites, Leo Da Vinci and Tesla come to mind. As far as them being adaptations go, I think that the adaptaitions are so separate from the original tales that they are their own entity. No one remembers Robin Williams from thousand-year old Arabic tales. Unless that crazy meth addict I met was right and Robin Williams is god.

euklyd Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Jesus seems like he was probably a pretty cool guy. I'll go with Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Muhammed (PBUH). Jesus and etc. are pretty cool too. If we can count more recent times, Bruce Lee is definitely there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
