Don't Fear the Reaper: Difference between revisions

Line 43:

* The classic modern example is the [[Perky Goth]] version of Death from ''[[The Sandman]]'', although she can actually appear more horrifying to those whose life was asking for a shocking exit.

** The French Comic ''Le Collège Invisible'' has a quite similar incarnation of Death, possibly inspired by her.

* Brazilian comic ''[[Monica's Gang|Penadinho]]'' (known in English as ''Bug-a-booo'') has Dona Morte/Lady McDeath, a clumsy Grim Reaper who is always forced to run after her "next clients". Her creator [http://www.monica.com.br/mauricio/cronicas/cron285.htm states] (link's in Portuguese) that the character is an attempt of making death less scary than most people treat it, and tries to portray her as just someone doing her job, never an assassin.

* What about [[Marvel Universe|Marvel's]] Death? She seems like a nice girl, if a little [[A Worldwide Punomenon|dead inside]]. Wade Wilson, prior to becoming Deadpool, even fell in love with her, & one of the reason's he can't die is because one of her jealous suitors made him immortal so he'd stay away from her, which is another reason why Deadpool is so freaking [[Bat Shit Crazy]].

** Amazingly, she's been shown to reciprocate his feelings—but they can only meet during the few seconds after he dies and before his mutant power/immortal curse can call him back to life. Death as a star-crossed lover?
