It's based on Hamlet. So Shakespeare, not the bible.

Shakespeare wasn't one person, he was actually a collection of Bibles writing under a pseudonym

Biblically accurate Shakespeare can't hurt you.

"I'd like a cup of mead."

"I'm 21... Bibles."

"And before they could nail him to the cross, Jesus immediately vanished before them. All who saw this were amazed. Then a voice from the heavens, sounding as though it were the son of God spoke saying, 'The better part of valour is discretion.'"--The Gospel According to Sir John Falstaff

Shakespeare wasn’t one person, he was actually a collection of ~~Bibles~~ monkeys with typewriters writing under a pseudonym

It's based on Kimba the White Lion, which is based on Hamlet, which is based on an episode of The Office (US).

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And that episode got its source material from Game of Thrones.

I'm waiting for The Lion King based on Oedipus.

That would definitely require a hakuna matata attitude after Simba gouged his eyes out.
