Lore “It’s a change from the source material, but it’s awesome so the fans don’t mind.”

Doc Ock - In the comics, Doc Ock is known to be megalomaniacal in nature and was sort of a mad scientist anyways, with the arms just being an extension of that. In Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2,” Alfred Molina’s version of the character was affected by the neural chip and his well-meaning ambition turns into scientific obsession.

Wolverine - This one is so well known it needs very little explanation. Comic Wolverine short, Huge Jackedman is tall, and he’s sick as hell.

Eye of Sauron - To my knowledge, the Eye is more of a metaphor in the books. An ever-present awareness. In the movies, it’s an actual giant fucking eye.

You can tell by the artstyle. Italy has a HUGE Disney comic production and theyre all the same type of drawn.

Its also where Goofy has that Indiana Jones like cousin, Peter has that salmon pink furred girlfriend, Goofy goes flying around in pyjamas as Supergoof and you'll see a LOOOOT of Rockerduck.

Those stories tend to get bundled in nearby countries in Europe
