The title page says that Shaw's Pygmalion is the Trope Namer but Eliza and Henry are not a couple at all, actually Executives tried to meddle with that, but the playwright stressed himself that they were never to be a couple. We may need a rename.

WROOOOOOOOOOONG!

From the trope description

"Originally the Greek myth of the sculptor Pygmalion, and his statue brought to life by the gods.

The most recognized version of this story nowadays is probably the musical My Fair Lady. Professor Henry Higgins teaches the poor, lower-class Eliza Doolittle to act..."

How in hell are you able to open threads over the limit, by the way? So, I can't open a thread for a trope that has problems, and you open two for perfectly correct tropes. I can't understand this.

There are no heroes left in Man.
