Has anyone ever wondered what my inspirations for how I often view the Storm King are? As well as for how to approach “A King’s Grand Entrance” and what to model it after?

Well, that’s why I made this post. To show you guys what one of my inspirations is.

Take a look:

The reason this video inspires me is because, among other things, I always thought that the Storm King was like that of a crime lord, the terrorist and businessman-type. A killer as well. And here, Michael Clarke Duncan’s Kingpin inspired me, because he too represents that type of villain, and he too has a very smooth and calm sort of personality, with a dark sense of humor on the side. I have a feeling that Liev Schreiber’s Kingpin is going to inspire me on this as well. This clip (despite having not seen the whole Director’s Cut of this film yet) was also one of my inspirations for my story, because I wanted to make it like a villain introduction, where we could also explore him some.

What do you guys think?

Interesting.

RIP Michael Clarke Duncan.

Well, I am writing a Spider-Man/MLP crossover fanfic, and is planning to have the Storm King eventually appear in it as a major mob boss...maybe even as some version of the Kingpin himself. So I guess I'm kinda on the same page about that at least.

Interestingly, the voice actor for the Storm King, Liev Schrieber, also voiced Kingpin in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

EDIT: Oh, you already knew that according to the original post. Never mind.
