I did have a fun idea. Ruby finds a magical artifact... That makes everyone but Jaune think they are their fairy tale or mythical inspirations. Jaune misses it because he tripped over a sock he didn't put away.

So... Yeah, he's the only one who can figure out how to fix this as Beacon turns into absolute bedlam.

He is soooo screwed.

Glynda is the Good Witch.

And tries to help Jaune solve the issue... But can't actually do anything.

Jaune: "So... All you can do is tell me what to do but can't do anything to help me?"

Glynda: brightly "That is correct!"

Glynda: "Do you have ruby slippers?"

Jaune: "... I have Ruby's slippers?"

Glynda: "Close enough!"

Is Blake hiding in a giant boot, or running around Beacon only wearing boots?
 
Wait so Roman Is loosely based on Joker? Or maybe Riddler?

And Neo was basically inspired by the female cosplay of Roman.

So would they become Joker and Harley Quin or Double Riddler?

Either way Vale is fucked.

Does Salem become a gestalt entity of every person who was tried during the Salem witch trials or does she become the Wicked Witch of West?

Oh wait, Mercury becomes the Trickster God who has helped Humanity throughout the ages.

Huh, Vale might not be fucked.


......Shit Sun becomes wukong which is a 50 50 with armageddon or helpful, Neptune..... Yo somebody Hide Weiss, Neptune's not used to taking no for an answer if we go by Greco-Roman syncretism.

And Frejya is there too. As is the Grimm reaper.

Dammit it's too complicated to calculate all these various entities in one story.

And that's not even beginning to unravel Ozpin, He is Merlin, Odin, Wizard of Oz, Possibly Arthur too with how many relics he had the Last King and those relics are definitely Fae relics.

Roman is the gentleman thief. Think Lupin.

Only because in the movie they combine two characters so it looks like Glinda could have sent Dorothy home at once. In the books there's a different witch who tells Dorothy to go find the Wizard with Glinda basically helping immediately.

Especially love the last two. More Weiss is always a good thing. As well the more it's pointed out that Hazel is a bitch the better. Also where did you find the Weiss one.

This is a Google summary
Clockwork Orange is a 1971 dystopian crime film written, produced, and directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel
The Story: Set in a dystopian near-future Britain, the film follows Alex DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell), a charismatic and sadistic delinquent who leads a small gang of "droogs".
Ultraviolence: Alex and his friends spend their nights drinking at the Korova Milkbar before committing random acts of theft, assault, and extreme violence, all while Alex listens to Beethoven.
The Ludovico Technique: After being betrayed by his gang and convicted of murder following a break-in, Alex is incarcerated. He volunteers for an experimental state-sponsored aversion therapy known as the Ludovico Technique
Loss of Free Will: The treatment conditions Alex to experience crippling nausea whenever he encounters or thinks about violence or sex, effectively stripping him of his personal agency and free will.
Revenge and Reversal: Released back into society, a defenseless Alex becomes the victim of his prior victims. After a suicide attempt and a political scandal over the government's methods, his conditioning is reversed, restoring his capacity for violence and his freedom.

Themes and Novel Differences
Free Will vs. Morality: The film explores whether forced goodness is true morality, arguing that a person stripped of the choice to do evil is no longer fully human.
Novel Ending Omission: The film omits the 21st chapter of Anthony Burgess's original novel, which depicts Alex maturing and voluntarily choosing to abandon his violent lifestyle. The film instead ends with Alex remaining unrepentant and imagining himself returning to his old ways.

Controversy and Censorship
Backlash: Upon release, the film sparked intense debate, receiving an X-rating in the United States and facing accusations of glorifying brutality.
The UK Ban: Amid reports of copycat crimes in Britain allegedly inspired by the movie, Stanley Kubrick requested that Warner Bros. withdraw the film from UK distribution in 1973.
Restoration: The movie remained largely unavailable in the UK, Australia, and a few other countries for nearly 30 years until the ban was lifted following Kubrick's death in 1999.

I don't know Lupin. I mean I know there is a Lupin in Harry Potter but he isn't a gentleman thief as far as I know.

You disgust me.

Anyway Arsène Lupin is a French novel by Maurice Leblanc about a gentleman thief. It was the French's answer to Sherlock Holmes, who appears in the seventh Arsène Lupin book. It is more famous because of the manga/anime that starts the grandson of Arsène Lupin, Lupin III.

Clockwork Orange is a dystopian crime from the 70's

And the theme song, alone, from the Anime Series "Lupin the 3rd" is awesome. In any of its' variations.
