* AbilityOverAppearance: The single issue most fans seem to take with Creator/CharlesDance as Vetinari is that he's as blonde as he is in any of his other roles, which is functionally the polar opposite of the iconically black-haired Vetinari of the books. With that said, those same fans almost universally agree that he lives and breathes Vetinari otherwise.

In real life, members of the Terry Pratchett fan groups on Facebook do this now when a friend or relative dies. [[Creator/TerryPratchett GNU STP.]]
