Something that’s forever hysterical to me: how all the
clever and subtle English-name symbolism in FMA becomes so wallopingly in-your-face once you translate the
whole series into English
“Ah yes, Riza Hawkeye. The sharp shooter. With eyes so
sharp, we’ve taken to calling her ‘the
Hawk’s eyes’ on account of this. Riza “The Hawk’s Eyes” Hawkeye. The
similarity is coincidence ignore that.”
“Alex Armstrong. With arms so strong we call him the Strong
Arm alchemist. Alex ‘Strong Arm’ Armstrong. What were the odds of this.”
“King Bradley, first name King. The Fuhrer, leader, ruler,
president. ‘Fuhrer King Bradley’. ‘King King’ if you will. Why our military is
full of coincidences.”
Thing #2 that’s forever hysterical: how the English symbolism becomes SO wallopingly literal that at least half the English-speaking fandom never realizes “King” is Bradley’s corny af first name
A.) I did not know that was his name. I thought that was a title.
2.) It makes sense though, since it’s not his birth name, but the name he was given when he was chosen to lead.
from the writers that brought you the walking dead….. the wolf among us…. comes…. telltale’s…. scooby doo….
dive into the gritty world of coolsville to uncover the secrets behind a string of grisly murders left by a mysterious villain….. make life or limb decisions that could end in surprising and dire consequences…… the fate of mystery incorporated and all of coolsville lies in your hands…..
rated m for mature……….
SHAGGY: scoob, i know he’s your nephew, but he’s, like, a liability! if you want to survive in coolsville, you’ve got to leave him behind!
SCRAPPY: uncle scooby, please, help me up! i’m your nephew!
SCOOBY looks nervously between SHAGGY and SCRAPPY.
[ SAVE SCRAPPY DOO ] [ LET SCRAPPY DOO FALL ]
SCOOBY winces, swallows, and then lets go of his grip. scrappy screams, plummeting into the foggy abyss.
kitsune-kira asked: Um... Don't get offended. Just asking here. What do you think of the show Supernatural? Feel free to ignore this question if you want.
I was wearing a trenchcoat LONG before that show was cool! You hear me! I HAD THE TRENCHCOAT FIRST! I STOOD IN THE RAIN FOR HOURS AND TALKED ABOUT RELIGION FIRST!
But seriously, the most I’ve ever seen is about 2 second of two guys pointing a gun at another person while passing by some people in the university lounge.
Supernatural doesn’t have a good flowing story or characters. Imagine characters as flat as moffats but with villain escalation even worse than DBZ
