A crisis is on our hands, for at least some of us. Hollywood and other companies are in big trouble. They have committed the unholy crime of distorting culture. How. Dragons.
Don't get me wrong, I like Game of Thrones. I really do. What I have a problem with is that everyone thinks that Game of Thrones has dragons in it. There they are wrong, and George R. R. Martin should have known better than that. Dragons are four limbed two winged creatures. They have two forearms, two hind legs, and two bat like wings. A wyvern is a two limbed two winged beast. It has two hind legs, absolutely no forearms, and two wings.
Hollywood lies people! Ever since Harry
Potter, those crazy heads have constantly mixed up dragons with wyverns.
Skyrim and Game of Thrones are two very obvious examples. Examples where
they got it right are Dragonheart and Eragon.
To some and many, they may not care. To
someone whose favorite character that he wanted to be friends with as a child
was four limbed two winged dragon that could talk and was friendly, it really,
really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really
MATTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not just that. I worry that the
populace will think that wyverns are dragons when they are really not dragons
at all. It's draconic but it is not a dragon. Consider it as a
species within the draconic family. It's like how all squares are
rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.
Why and how has Hollywood gotten this messed up, I have no idea. Perhaps as you will see below they will utter the excuse, "It's artistic interpretation!" in a whiny nasal voice, to which I say, you scully naves, you have no knowledge of true culture! I fear they will say, the computer animation simulation works more to realistic terms if the "dragons" don't have forearms. To which I say, What about Toothless. He's got four limbs and two wings. You were saying? in a mocking tone.
Some of you may disagree with me. Some of you may argue it's an artistic interpretation, That it is a mere choice of representing something that isn't even real. You may say, they're all dragons in my book. Well your book is missing some very important pages. Forgive my bluntness but I can't allow such...whatever it is to go on without fixing it. It's wrong. Simple as that. If an object has a specific name you cannot call it something else. It's wrong.
You still don't care. Fine. I get it. But I cannot allow this to go on. Dragons are not wyverns and wyverns are not dragons. The only way I'm going to fix this is by writing something that will show you my vision of what they are supposed to look like. I hope that will fix it.
People of the world. We cannot allow this
to occur. This a terrible accident. Will we allow fellow citizens to continue walking about this earth ignorant of the truth? Never! We must fight back and teach them the lore and legends and features about dragons, and sue Hollywood's butt off for doing it wrong!
This depends on you fellow readers. Keep telling people the truth about how dragons really look. Hollywood! I'm watching you. Be on your guard, cause this dragon's got a lot of firepower ready to blow its top!!!! You better run!!
