Fisher King: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

'''Nanny Ogg''': One what?|'''[[Terry Pratchett]]''', ''[[Discworld|Wyrd Sisters]]''}}

 

* In ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros]]'', when Koops takes over he turns the king into a fungus, using his evolution ray to de-evolve him all the way back to a fungal state. Under Koopa, the dinosaur city was a giant slum infested with fungus. On Koopa's defeat, the fungus recedes when noble king is restored.

* Laura in ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men In Black II]]'' is the semi-divine daughter of an alien queen and has a similar link to the weather.

'''Agent K:''' "It rains ''because'' you're sad." }}

* In ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'', the captain of the Flying Dutchman has this effect on the ship. A good captain has a nice ship, while a corrupt one (Davy Jones) makes the ship [[Worldwide Punomenon|a little fishy]]. Thus, when {{spoiler|Will Turner}} becomes the captain, the ship's appearance improves and the sailors are no longer human-fish hybrids. In fact, you can see the fishy bits falling off of his crew when he takes over. {{spoiler|Will's father}} even takes the starfish off his face on camera.

* [[William Shakespeare]]: ''[[Macbeth]]'', of course. Upon the king's murder and replacement by said murderer, the sky is covered in thunderclouds and the horses start eating each other. When the king's perfectly normal son takes over, everything's good.

* ''Exit the King'' takes this trope absolutely literally; the king's mental and physical decline shrinks and collapses his kingdom on a scale reminiscent of The Nothing in ''The Never-Ending Story''. It even extends into ''time.''

* In ''[[A Midsummer Night's Dream|A Midsummer Nights Dream]]'', disharmony between Oberon and Titania produces storms. Then, they are [[The Fair Folk]].
