And while the idea of a reluctant hero tasked with fulfilling his destiny is hardly a new one, Momoa alternately makes him irascible and actually kind of goofy -- the first member of this DC universe with whom you might actually like to throw back a beer or three.
The bass Hans-Peter König, magnificent in the role of the irascible palace overseer Osmin, made a sly change to spoken dialogue in which Osmin invokes the authority of the dungeon master, or Stockmeister, substituting the word "Kapellmeister" — conductor — with a wink in the direction of Mr. Levine.

The well known 1950 Life magazine photograph of the Irascible 18, aka the New York School included only one woman, Hedda Sterne, who later would note that all the men were furious about her inclusion, thinking her mere presence would detract from the profound seriousness of their endeavor.
The 2800-year-old Vermont senator, who is a stubborn and irascible candidate, a well of resentment for the "clique" in the Democratic Party and of empathy for the working class and poor, set out to do one thing, give one speech, and lead one kind of movement.
Irascible, pugnacious, a Marine in the Korean War and a lawyer for 20 years before entering politics, Mr. Molinari was elected to three terms in the State Assembly in the 1970s and to five terms in Congress in the 1980s, and was borough president from 20083 to 2001.
In and of itself, this would be an okay idea for the show to dig into — Parker and Stone are great at unpacking pop culture, after all — but the link between Star Wars and Trump (here portrayed by South Park's increasingly irascible teacher Mr. Garrison) gives the idea even more heft.
" Ceding that control to TikTok should be worrying, according to a Times op-ed: "Those who complain that American firms like Facebook are invasive and unaccountable are unlikely to prefer China's tech giants, which are often cowed by, and collaborating with, the Party-State's opaque and irascible censorship and surveillance apparatus.
It's about a chubby man-dweeb named Big Brayden (Sky Elobar), who suspects that his elderly, irascible father, Big Ronnie (Michael St. Michaels), moonlights as the Greasy Strangler, a creature who covers himself (and his mega-penis) in oozing layers of grease and fat before he sets out to slaughter.
A fourth-generation New Iberian, he was a southern Louisiana politician in the old mold: charismatic and irascible, given to country bromides and plain-spoken provocations, antagonistic to the regional press and civil-liberties groups, chummy with the political class, a friend to many and a bully to the rest.
As noted, this is certainly a well-documented chapter in the war's history, but Wright and screenwriter Anthony McCarten ("The Theory of Everything") have captured a moment when the world really was on the brink, and an old, paunchy, irascible man actually made the difference by dint of his will and rhetoric.
In 2005, after Clinton had painstakingly mended fences with Rupert Murdoch — part of a long dance that ended abruptly in 2012 — he somehow persuaded the irascible right-wing media baron to appear on a panel with the CNN chairman Richard Parsons on a Friday afternoon in a dimly lit hotel basement, moderated by Clinton himself.
Given that as of the end of Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and throughout Infinity War, he's an irascible, video-game-obsessed, bored-with-everything teenager, it also makes sense that he wouldn't show much obvious parental deference for Rocket, and that viewers would have no way of knowing he saw Rocket as his father.
Naipaul was an abusive, irascible, melancholic man, an archetype of the sneering provocateur, of the grinning clown who sat on stoops in a town and made fun of everyone passing by, of the bigoted uncle whose presence the less bigoted dread at certain family gatherings, of the Internet troll who delighted in causing offense.
Yet Mr. Dylan, the person, remains elusive and seemingly unknowable, never quite as accessible as he was in "Dont Look Back" in 1965, when he gave Mr. Pennebaker unrestricted access to follow him to London and beyond, to see him grapple with his burgeoning fame and construct his irascible persona in real time during a frustrating publicity tour.
We may indeed already be converging as a population—irascible millennials who feel dated at twenty-five and determinedly upbeat boomers who insist on feeling young at seventy—on a single American age, a kind of shared perpetual middleness, where we will dye our hair and take our pills and suddenly collapse in the midst of the dance.
But it only added to the mounting tensions between Mr. Trudeau, now the Canadian prime minister, and Mr. Trump as the president arrived for the Group of 7 summit meeting that had become so fractured before it started that many observers were calling it the "G-6 plus 1" — with Mr. Trump being cast as the irrational, irascible and dangerous outsider.
The suggestion that Peter, like the Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, might not be as groundbreaking as he thinks is the most compelling and least proverbial conflict raised in the movie — yet the screenplay skims over it to focus on the conventional dynamic between the often irascible Peter and the more optimistic Ellen, who challenges him on his rigid view of the world.
Grizzled, irascible, foulmouthed, an outrageous, confrontational growler with a buckram face, a battered cowboy hat and a gun on his hip, he spent decades on the air doing pranks and parodies that were often brutish, tasteless or obscene and sometimes racist, sexist or homophobic — all while surviving alcoholism, cocaine addiction, repeated firings and a nearly fatal fall from a horse.
A cigar-chomping veteran of the car industry with a penchant for irascible quotes—he once panned GM's cars for looking like "angry kitchen appliances"—Lutz was especially attuned to the big narratives that drive public perception of the auto industry (while under the surface, most of the real action is driven by recondite stuff like regulation, industrial and trade policy, labor economics, and logistics).
Nor, however, can fairness or balance preclude making it plain through rigorous reporting that while Clinton is imperfect, Trump is awful; that while she has trafficked in the evasiveness that is the stuff of politics, he has lied; and that while America would be in safe hands with Clinton, it would be in clear and present danger with the irascible, insecure, Putin-friendly, NATO-averse Trump.

Shrine, located on Manhattan's Lower East Side, will recreate the art-filled bedroom of the Alabaman artist Mose Tolliver (1898-2006), and Brooklyn's Cathouse Proper will again showcase mixed-media works by Daniel Swanigan Snow, which take on, with irascible charm, everything from the current political moment ("Sign of the Times," 2017, declares, "GET HIM OUT OF OFFICE") to the nature of art-making itself.
In 2018, it might be the march of the Emmy prediction complex toward dominating the half of the awards calendar not already devoted to the Oscars, or it might be the change in Emmy voting rules and the growth of big-money campaigning for contenders (to the degree that Netflix takes over a full soundstage in Hollywood to stump for its shows), but the Emmys feel less and less like the collected whims of a bunch of irascible retired TV professionals and more and more like company voters following a straight corporate line.
Surviving his own author's attempts to kill him, he has caught the imagination of each new generation, which has either faithfully continued to read his exploits in the original (sales have never flagged since the first novel, "A Study in Scarlet," appeared in 1887) or updated him (the BBC's "Sherlock" a notably successful version of this, but Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce did the same thing in 1942) or reinvented him, most entertainingly, perhaps, as Dr. Gregory House, in the eponymous series in which, for many seasons, Hugh Laurie played an irascible, drug-addicted surgeon of preternatural analytical penetration, solving apparently hopeless medical dilemmas.
