Ivan the Terrible/YMMV


 * The Renfield: Malyuta Skuratov. YMMV Malyuta is Ivan's Red Head Sidekick = Ron Weasley. Malyuta helps Ivan kill traitors and aristocrats. Whether Ivan's plan to kill traitors was sane or insane belongs on the YMMV page.
 * Movie!Ivan wanted to kill traitor boyars. Movie!Malyuta was a Peasant who wanted to kill ALL boyars. As the story grew it turned out Boyars are Exclusively Evil, Malyuta was right all along. Malyuta is a sane Sidekick. He is the Polar opposite of Renfield the Insane Sidekick.
 * Likewise, Renfield worshipped Dracula PERSONALLY, Malyuta worshipped Ivan's MESSAGE of executing aristos
 * History!Malyuta was a low-rank aristo, so he did hate high-rank aristos but he hatd them in a different way than Peasant!Malyuta in the movie hated them. Adaption Distillation.
