interesting and hopefully others did too it now sits at over 3.5 million views and is by far my most viewed video across all my channels and I'm going back to those roots here are ten more fairy tale dark origins Aladdin we all know him as a lovable street rat however in the original version of the tale Aladdin is far from lovable rather he is an impetus lazy and stupid boy who refuses to make anything of himself to the point that at the beginning of the story his father literally dies of disappointment then when Aladdin finds his genies and achieves some measure of success he believes himself worthy of the Sultan's daughter unfortunately the princess is already betrothed to another but this is no way for Aladdin no he chooses to kidnap the princess on the night of a wedding forces her to spend the night with him and sends her fiance off to be tortured by Ladin's chin thereby preventing the princess from consummating her marriage he does this long enough that her fiance believes the marriage is cursed and abandons her at which point Aladdin steals her for himself Aladdin eventually marries the princess and out builds the Sultan's palace to prove his right to rule the throne until the evil sorcerer decides to have his revenge on Aladdin steals the genies lamp then teleports Aladdin's palace princess and all into the desert Aladdin despairs and nearly commits suicide by jumping into a river before remembering he has a tiny Shin in a ring on his finger using the shin he finds his palace reaches the princess and forces her to first seduce the sorcerer and then to murder him our hero everybody in some versions of the Frog Prince the Prince doesn't return to form after the princess kisses him or he spends a few nights on a pillow no instead the princess has the causing physical harm in one she throws him as hard as she possibly can against the wall in another she burns into a crisp and in another she literally chops his head off and that's what breaks the spell nothing like being decapitated by your future wife the story of Rumplestiltskin is fairly well known a man brags about his daughters ability to weave claiming she's so good that she can turn straw to gold a king hears about this and forces her to prove her abilities on a penalty of death and then in comes to save her on the third night he asks her something in return and she has nothing to offer him worry not my dear he says just give me your firstborn child the girl agrees the room is turned to gold and the King marries her of course not long after getting married she has a son and the incomes that take the child she begs for a second chance and tells her that he will only give the child back if she discovers his name lo and behold the girl does discover his name and when he comes back to collect the child she tells him that it's Rumplestiltskin infuriated the little imp stamps his foot so hard he lodges it into the ground and in his fury commit suicide by grabbing his left leg ripping himself in half yeah Undine is a story about a beautiful maiden who lives by the seaside and the knight who falls in love with her sounds like your standard fairy tale right there's just one problem the maiden doesn't have a soul people today might know Undine as a character from the popular video game undertale but back in the early 1800s Undine was one of the creepiest German fairy tales around the story of Undine starts off with a fisherman his wife and their young daughter one day the daughter slipped from the mother's grasp and drowns in the lake the fisherman and his wife mourn until later that day when Undine arrives at their cottage blonde hair dripping with water the fisherman decides the razor as his own and takes the silent well-behaved child to be baptized only for her to start screaming as soon as the ceremony is over the ceremony causes Undine to grow well full and wild but despite this the family grows together happily one day a knight comes to the little cottage in the forest and falls in love with Undine despite the fact that her lack of soul renders her terribly selfish and incapable of empathy upon a priest's visit to the cottage Undine marries the knight he promises to love her forever and on her wedding day Undine is granted a soul by God Undine and a knight returned to the city only to discover there was another lady close to her night before this journey a woman named Burt Alda despite Battelle does love for the night she and Undine become good friends at first but soon Battelle de learns the truth about Undine that she's a water spirit given a soul by love and grows cold to her and as betal de grows colder her she convinces the night to grow suspicious of his wife as well Undine despairs as overtime she watches the love leave her Knights eyes and her night leave aside for patellas finally the day comes that Battelle de Undine and her Knights are all travelling by the waterside but Alda's necklace given to her by the knight is stolen by mischievious water spirit she and the knights are incensed and blame Undine who dips her hand into the water and pulls out a different necklace one much fairer than before but her husband sees this necklace is yet more proof of her strangeness and finally shouts you are a witch go and trouble us no more Ondine bursts into tears as she disappears beneath the surface of the river never again to return the land it does not take long for the knight to forget Undine and instead marry betal de and on that night a ghostly figure emerges from their castle well and comes upon the night he looks upon the figure who looks remarkably similar to Undine I have come for you and you must die she says the him and so he does for he had broken his promise to her and he had to pay the
