60	* ChronicallyKilledActor: If you see his name in a movie or series with a medieval tone, it's guaranteed he'll die a brutal death.
61	* CreatorBacklash:
62	** He holds no love for the theatrical cut of ''Jutice League'', due to his character being completely rewritten in a way that reduced him to a CardCarryingVillain rather than the TragicMonster he was hoping for.
63	** He wasn't a fan of how overly sexualised ''Game of Thrones'' turned out, feeling the sex scenes distracted from the political drama.
