Thanks for reminding me why video game stories suck.![]()
I get it, the main purpose of a game is to entertain the player through game play. A number of kids these days can't seem to make the distinction and write stories as if they're video games (which drives their English teachers nuts). Or when Hollywood does it it's called "Rise of Skywalker."![]()
Wait... the game calls Star Sabre's sword the "Star Sabre"??That's... dumb!
In G1 Star Sabre's sword is called the "Sabre Blade." Why would Star Sabre's sword be named after himself? That'd be as if Megatron's fusion cannon was called "Megatron."
Thanks, I hate it!
Granted I did the same thing when I adapted MP Star Sabre into English for Hasbro, but at least I did it in a different language! For those of you who got MP Star Sabre from a local TRU, you may notice that in the instruction booklet his small sword is called the "Gladius Stellae," which is Latin for "Star Sabre." I called the large sword the "Great Sword" as a reference to the weapon of the same name that appeared in IDW (which both Star Sabre and Dai Atlas wielded in their final duel). But yeah, if you're gonna call Star Sabre's sword the "Star Sabre," then at least try to be a wee bit clever/subtle about it. Go Greek and call it the "Astro Spathi" or something, geez. As we all know, Star Sabre first cropped up as a name for a sword in Armada and it's been used in some other continuities since then (e.g. TFP etc.) - but this was always done as a reference to Star Sabre, and they're universes where - AFAIK - a character called Star Sabre doesn't exist, or certainly doesn't freakin' wield it! Armadaverse did have a Star Sabre-like character that they called Wing Sabre at least.
