Canonically it's called "hut on chicken legs", plural.

The_Eye_of_Ra t1_jec6dib wrote

It’s just the Hellboy version that has one leg. The old folk tales use the plural “legs”.

That whole Baba Yaga thing in John Wick is just dumb writing.

It's like describing Santa Claus as a guy who breaks into your house and steals your milk and cookies.

The myths and stories around Baba Yaga are a lot more complex than "Russian boogyman."

Well and that baba yaga is a female, literally granny yaga. When I first heard this shit in John Wick, I couldn't believe it, it was so stupid

Them calling Wick Baba Yaga was also way more complex than in the sueface. Yes. He was the monster the mob sent to kill the boogeyman. But he was also known to occasionally let people go. Even help them in the same ways the myth Baba Yaga could actually be helpful to those who come into her house.

This doesn’t explain why they took female character instead of male character of the same traits. It’s essentially as imagine a Greek badass bearded killer who everyone is afraid of and his badass nickname is Athena, as he always wins lol

I think Koschei would’ve worked better. He’s also more of a scary boogeyman than Yaga.

Exactly, at least the Tomb Raider triology did Baba Yaga right! Man those games were good.

That’s nearly not as dumb as making wick Belarusian with the real name of JARDANI? Wtf? They couldn’t Google standard Slavic names lol?

Yea in fact the house is kinda a goofy character in a bunch of our cartoons

Since people keep referencing other media they've seen this in, like RuneScape, John Wick, The Witcher, etc, here's the Wikipedia page for the origin:

Russian folklore is amazing. Anyone who really wants to dive in should check out Alexander Afanasyev's collection of Russian Fairy Tales.

What a game.

They set the bar pretty high with what a RPG could be.

frogmuffins t1_jealove wrote

I couldn't even guess the hundreds of hours(thousands?) I spent beating this game not once(Hero's Quest) but twice(QFG rerelease) and for each of the 3 hero classes.

I wish I could give uou more than one up vote. I feel like I'm the only one that loved those games. 1, 2, 4 (not 3 as much). They got overshadowed by kings quest. I still play intro music, and a version of Eranas peace, on my piano.

So, Jaga has to put new furniture in her house as well as repairs every time she moves? I guess it's not much work if you can use spells though.
