Can you give an example of a well - known hardcore origin story?

Another example is Wolverine. His origin involves a lot of experimentation and pain. He was born with a mutant ability, but then he was subjected to various scientific experiments that fused his skeleton with adamantium. He had to endure a great deal of physical and mental agony during this process. His origin story is full of hardship and violence, which makes him a complex and tough character.

The story of Johnny Appleseed is also considered a tall tale to some extent. While he was a real person who planted apple trees across America, the stories about him have been embellished over time. For instance, it's said that he walked across the country barefoot in the snow, with a sack of apple seeds on his back, and that animals would follow him everywhere, which are rather exaggerated details.

One well - known example is 'The Silence of the Lambs'. In it, the character Hannibal Lecter is a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a cannibal. His character is both fascinating and terrifying, and the story delves into his mind while also following the investigation into his crimes.

In the story of 'The Count of Monte Cristo', Mercedes can be seen as a kind of 'captive mother' in a sense. After her husband is wrongly imprisoned, she is left in a difficult situation, sort of held captive by the circumstances of society and the actions of the antagonists. She has to fend for herself and her son while dealing with the stigma and challenges that come her way.

The 'Atuk' movie had a troubled production. The lead actor John Candy passed away during pre - production, which was a huge setback. However, they tried to recast but faced many difficulties. There were also issues with the script and the overall vision for the film. As time went on, more problems piled up, and eventually, the film was abandoned. It shows how the death of a key actor can start a chain of events that leads to a film not being made.

I'm not sure if there's a single super - well - known one specifically named 'jezebel horror monster story' in mainstream horror. However, there could be elements of such a concept in stories where a female - like entity uses her charm to deceive and harm. For example, in some vampire stories, female vampires often use their allure, much like a jezebel, to get close to their victims before attacking.

Consider 'Peter Pan'. J.M. Barrie created this story based on his relationships with the Llewelyn Davies boys. He was fascinated by their childhood innocence and the idea of never growing up. The Neverland in the story is a place where children can be free from the constraints of adulthood. The story behind it is about Barrie's longing for that pure and carefree state of childhood, and his love for the boys who inspired the characters in the story.

In 'Cinderella', the moment when the fairy godmother appears and transforms her rags into a beautiful dress and gives her a carriage to go to the ball could be considered the luckiest time. It's a sudden turn of fortune that changes her situation completely.

Take the true story of the Rwandan genocide. The ethnic cleansing that took place, where neighbors turned on neighbors and brutally killed each other in large numbers was an unspeakable act. People were hacked to death with machetes, families were torn apart, and the violence was so extreme that it's very difficult to even talk about it without feeling a deep sense of horror and sadness.

There's 'Bonnie Barbara Allan'. It's a ballad that tells a tragic love story. Barbara Allan is spurned by her lover who is on his deathbed. She then realizes her love for him too late and dies of a broken heart. The ballad has a simple yet powerful narrative that has been passed down through the ages.
