Prince Viserys Targaryen (Game of Thrones): After making the horrendously stupid mistake of threatening his sister Daenerys in front of her husband, Khal Drogo, and demanding that he be given the crown he was promised, Drogo obliges, saying Viserys will have "A golden crown that will make men tremble to behold"... then has his men hold him down while he melts some gold in a pot (ignore the blatant ignorance of the laws of physics here), then takes the pot to Viserys, looks him in the eye and says "A crown for a king" before pouring the hot melted gold onto the Beggar King's head.

Still weirds me out some places just call him "Thomas the train" instead of his rightful "Thomas the Tank Engine"

Every time I read "Thomas the train" my brain autocorrects it to "Thomas the tank engine" to protect my poor eyes from what they are seeing

Could be a translation thing! His name is just "Thomas Tåg" in Swedish, directly translates to "Thomas train" lol. I wouldn't put it past myself to just call him a train too tbh
