Perhaps it’s just me…but I get the feeling that Mopey is enjoying that whole “Violence II” thing quite a lot…and I’m not sure whether that’s entirely appropriate, all told. The fate of existence is on the line, after all…and there are/were/will be all of those innocent victims presumably meeting a grisly fate off-screen. (If only the budget had allowed for more extras, we’d know for sure.) On the other hand…mindless enthusiasm is not the worst state to be in, and it’s also not the worst state for people around you to be in. I’ll let it slip…
Especially since Snuka joins the fray with an appropriate sense of seriousness. He’s the grandson of an Imperial Japanese admiral, after all, so something of the old samurai ideal of stern and frugal masculinity is alive in him – ready to come to the fore if he’s not preoccupied with something better.
I faced quite a challenge in coming up with something to draw out of his Tokyo Action Shonen Mysterious Long Bag. The battleship gun turret he drew from it the last time was already pretty excessive after all. But, apparently, he was still ‘holding back’ with that? He should have told me sooner. >_> But, what can I do? If that was ‘holding back’, and he’s not doing that any more now, I’ve got to crank it up a few notches. So…don’t ask me how, but Snuka draws the Death Star from his bag. ._. While that doesn’t seem anything like reasonable in any number of ways…it does seem to be something reasonably equivalent in terms of escalation to Mopey’s unnaturally chipper mood.
As for how realistic it is…well, as you can see, reality already failed in allowing Snuka to just open the zipper of the bag in an anatomically plausible way. Thank goodness for hand actors.
More on Thursday.
It’s a Peace Moon!
A Peace Space Station, you mean. Don’t let Obi Wan catch you calling it a moon. XD
That’s D&D humor, my dude.
Not Dungeons & Dragons.
Darths & Droids.
This is starting to get to a Disgaea-level of silly and I’m here for it.
It’s mixing references a lot but I almost want Snuka to be standing on the Death Star laughing triumphantly as it crashes into the earth like a meteor, Laharl-style. 😛
Ok, but seriously, Snuka had better be careful with that thing… actually blowing up the Earth would be a pretty phyrric victory over Latho, after all.
I could see that scene happening, but not necessarily with Snuka…if any one of the characters is capable of Laharl-style cheerful malevolence, it would be Mopey. Who I would generally rate as being “most likely to blow up the whole world” among the main cast. Save, perhaps, for the Professor – but in his case, it would be by accident.
Snuka, on the other hand, can probably be counted on to be a responsible Death Star owner…reading the manual and following all of the maintenance and care prescriptions. Owning the ultimate weapon in the Universe must have appeared an unreachable goal in his deprived childhood, so he’s bound to hold it in an appropriate amount of awe. XD
