My 2nd Animated Inspiration for How I View the Storm King, as Well as Keep Him in Character · 9:43pm Nov 14th, 2020
In the wake of my latest post, I decided to go ahead and show you all what the second animated character I’ve looked to in preparation for working with the Storm King has been.
That character...being this guy right here:
For those who don’t know, Kai was the main antagonist of the third Kung Fu Panda movie, and he was played by J.K. Simmons, whom many of you guys probably know best for his work as J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man films directed by Sam Raimi, as well as his cameo in the epilogue of “Spider-Man: Far From Home”.
The reason Kai is among my inspirations is because both he and the Storm King, just like Hades, are quite the laidback individuals. Both of them also have a dark sense of humor, and they take pleasure in causing destruction, death, and misery wherever they go. As I think about it more, both the Storm King and Kai are seekers of power and desire to be the most mighty individuals of all-time.
Any thoughts on this?
