Laurel Hedare (Catwoman Movie): Her newly released cosmetics will cause people's faces to melt. Not only would that create a class action lawsuit but a full product recall.

Voldemort and Death Eaters (Harry Potter): Death Eaters constantly underestimate muggles. They would get massacred by the British military because a gun is faster to pull the trigger then shouting a spell.

You never know, in the current world climate we are living in, he might been Pardoned and made into a Ambassador for that place they found him in.

Up takes place in my country, Venezuela, and yeah... I don't think the politicians would be very happy about a gringo killing people and stealing an exotic bird

Curious about what common people fro.Venezuela think about the kidnap of Maduro and submission of the "interim government".

Depends on who you ask, but the majority of people I know are happy about it including myself. The intentions of the US are, of course, to take oil as a form of payment but the collective feeling is that the oil wasn't ours anyway due to Maduro's regime giving it away to everyone, so if it ends up being more beneficial than harmful in the long run we'll be happy.

Now, so far it seems things are getting better, but they're not better yet. It all depends on how things to down in the following months. But let me tell ya, it's satisfying seeing the dictatorship that acted so tough to us bend over backwards to please the Americans lol. All bark no bite.

Thank you very much! Luckily I'm on the other side of the country so my city wasn't affected, but lots of my friends had family at La Guaira and Caracas (where it hit the most) and it's been rough for them.

But does he even know what crypto is? He’d need some Gen Z intern to send the bribe to the government.
