Krull: Difference between revisions

* [[Binary Suns]]

* [[Black Eyes of Evil]]: A form of [[Glamour Failure]] sported by both the Changeling that replaces the Seer and the seductress Vella.

** Using the knowledge to avoid their death? [[You Can't Fight Fate|That just brings a much more painful death.]]

* [[Blind Seer]]: The Emerald Seer.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: The cyclops and the widow of the web.

** Don't forget the Old One. And in the case of the Widow it was more of a [[Redemption Equals Death]] kinda thing.

* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: Very much how the Beast treats Lyssa during her captivity, whether [[Scarpia Ultimatum|attempting to woo her]], offering her [[Pimped-Out Dress|gorgeous gowns]] and [[Requisite Royal Regalia|a floating crown]], or coming right out and telling her [[We Can Rule Together]]. The motivation for this seems to be a cross of [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]] (because her child is supposed to rule the galaxy) and old-fashioned [[For the Evulz|villainous nastiness]] so that he can taunt Colwyn with having claimed his love and inspired her betrayal. Of course, she refuses--the first clue that while she is a [[Distressed Damsel]], Lyssa isn't just [[The Chick]] she seems to be.

** In the novelization, it's more of a case of [[Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?]]?. The Beast says "You have been brought here for a marriage, though not of the sort you can imagine. It will be a much more intimate melding than you can conceive of."

{{quote| '''Lyssa''': ''Power'' is fleeting. ''Love'' is eternal.}}

* [[Kill and Replace]]: {{spoiler|a shapeshifter kills the Emerald Seer and takes his form to get close to Colwyn and kill him.}}

* [[Licensed Game]]: Yes, it existed...three of 'em, in fact! There was a pinball game, a 2600 game, and a really confusing arcade game.

** And a [http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1626/krull board game containing an plastic-army-man-sized Colwyn and The Beast], AND [http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/25901/krull-card-game a card game.]

'''Ergo:''' Well, that's a foolish wish...what about you, Rell, what'd you wish for?<br />

'''[[The Comically Serious|Rell]]''': ''(gloomily)'' Ignorance. }}

* [[The Obi-Wan]]: "The Old One"

** "Well, not as old as all ''that!''"

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Literally, but inverted: the moment where it's first shown that Ergo has a heart and a more selfless side is when he turns ''himself'' into a dog for Titch to pet and hold.

* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: Ergo

* [[The Power of Love]]: Which is considerably less metaphoric than in other examples. {{spoiler|Part of the marriage ceremony in this story involves the female taking a literal fire from a ceremonial pool and holding it in her immune-to-this-flame bare hand. Lyssa literally [[Chekhov's Gun|carries this flame for Colwyn through the entire film]] until the [[Final Battle]], where it proves to be more than the [[Big Bad]] can handle.}}

* [[Princess Classic]]: Lyssa. Though in her opening scenes she shows courage, strength of heart, and more than a little independence (for one thing, it's made quite plain that the alliance by marriage was her idea and she bullied her father into it), and when she is captured it's clearly due to lack of fighting skills and training, not lack of desire to fight back.

* [[Troperiffic]]

* [[The Walls Are Closing In]]: Includes the [[Spikes of Doom|spiked walls]] version, and a gruesome death for one character who could have escaped but went back for his cherished knife.

{{quote| Colwyn: "You haven't lost a father, and a bride on the same day!"<br />

Ynyr: "Nor have I become ''king'' on that day." }}
