Talk:Brunhild

message: A "Brunnhilde-type character"? Unless it is explicitly stated that Bugs Bunny was playing the Brunhild from Norse mythology then this reference is tenuous if not inaccurate. For example, he could have been any of the Valkyrie, not specifically Brunhild, or simply a Viking maiden, so perhaps your piece of information would be better in the popular culture section on the general Valkyrie page, not Brunhild's. 80.43.12.231 23:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I only added the link in but I'll put the text back in and clarfiy it. It is Brunhulde (Fudd calls the disguised Bugs by that name) as is made clear from the What's Opera, Doc? entry itself: "Later, Elmer is stopped in his tracks at the sight of the beautiful Valkyrie, Brunhilde (Bugs in an obvious disguise). ... "Siegfried" and "Brunhilde" exchange endearments: "Oh Bwunhiww-de, you'wuh so wuv-wee!" " (Emperor 01:05, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Read: Chuck Amok wherein the late Charles Jones of Warner Bros. explicitly describes Bugs Bunny as such. "Since we couldn't put the curves on Bugs, we put the curves on the horse."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.49.126 (talk) 22:22, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

text: The Elmer Fudd line is specifically "Oh Bwunhilde, you'w so wuvwy!", and the song being played is Wagner. Probably the most popular depiction of her in popular culture today is Bugs Bunny from 1957. It's not just any Valkyrie, I'm putting it back.

message: The common expression, "It's not over till the fat lady sings," is a reference to the stereotypical physique of a Wagnerian soprano as Brünnhilde, singing the final aria.
Supposedly two guys, more at home at horse races or fights, found themselves at a performance of Gotterdämmerung.  One asks, "how long do we hafta sit here?"  The other replies, "It ain't over till the fat lady sings."
I imagine this expression originated in the first half of the 20th century.  Perhaps it is a line from a movie, or it could have involved a couple of celebrities.  It certainly belongs among the list of Popular Culture references. Monomoit (talk) 16:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I can find no evidence that Hindarfjall is supposed to be located in the Alps, the main article does not mention this either. It seems rather unlikely for an Icelandic saga, so I removed it.—Austriacus (talk) 11:46, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Um, the Sagas are not only from Iceland! WTH? And since the Sagas are likely based off of a Queen in Spain, I fail to see the connection with Iceland?    2601:806:4301:C100:CD64:5EF1:AAF3:72D6 (talk) 03:20, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

message: As  mentioned in the move discussion above, this article is in bad shape. I'd like to start improving it, as well as the other articles on the Nibelungen tradition. I've already started on Sigurd, but I'm much more familiar with the German material than the Scandinavian. My general plan for Sigurd as well as this article is to creates sections on 1) Etymology 2) Origins 3) Development of the tradition 4) German traditions 5) Scandinavian traditions 6) modern reception. As with the Sigurd article, this may involve replacing the entire current text. I'm eager for any help.--Ermenrich (talk) 16:19, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the article needs to be completely rewritten. However, I recommend a different structure: 1) etymology 2) attestations 3) scholarly reception 4) modern influence. See, for example, valkyrie. This keeps things nice and neat while reducing the likelihood of editorializing or undue emphasis on a particular theory. It also allows for room to grow. I'll be glad to help. :bloodofox: (talk) 16:46, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Very glad to hear that! Please do have a look at my changes to the Sigurd article! Everything up through "Development of the tradition" has been added by me. I'm currently struggling to force myself to deal with the sections on individual stories (which I mostly plan to delete and replace in another section).--Ermenrich (talk) 16:51, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

message: Is there consensus for deleting the section on Brunhild in pop culture? As it is its just a list of random facts. I'm not sure there are many reliable sources about the reception of Brunhild outside of Wagner, otherwise I'd suggest replacing it with a section on reception.--Ermenrich (talk) 17:24, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of these, if not all, seem to be inspired specifically by Wagner's work rather than the medieval tales, so they are part of a larger topic of Wagner reception and so do not belong here.--Pfold (talk) 17:55, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Deleting. I've found a few sources that can at least provide a short section on Brunhild-reception. I intend to delete the Wagner section as well - a bit of info on her role there can be given in the modern reception section.--Ermenrich (talk) 19:31, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
