This
short is pathetic and entirely fails to capture the character. Yes,
Elric is albino but he isn't buff. He's rather skinny and sickly.
Prior to getting Stormbringer - which imbues him with strength and
stamina - he used all sorts of medicinal herbs to overcome his various
ailments. Also, Stormbringer is a black sword, not noted for its mirror
shine. I have no idea what this scene is supposed to represent. I
read the original story arc and some of the later novels that Moorcock
probably shouldn't have written and do not recognize this.
Elric and his soul-sucking black sword, Stormbringer, are such iconic and famous characters that I am astonished that this is the only live-action Elric I have found. With all the fantasy characters who have made it to film, I am baffled that Elric hasn't made a splash.
