I keep seeing people say things like βWhy would we want a SoC spin-off theyβve already used the entire plotβ and Iβm like?? Did we read the same books???
What about The Ice Court Heist? Kuwei? Van Eck? βIβm going to get my money, Kaz vowed. And Iβm going to get my girl.β??? The sugar fiasco? The auction at the exchange??
I need people to stop blaming the death of movies on βquipsβ. A quip is just a funny line of dialogue. Thatβs all. Like I just saw a post talking about quips and the death of movies and brought up Pirates of the Caribbean as an example of a better movie and yes it is but also that movie is FULL OF QUIPS. I just rewatched The Princess Bride. Itβs all quips. Every single line. And itβs a masterpiece.
Movies suck when people donβt care about the art theyβre making. That includes them not caring about their quips. Which is why a lot of comic relief dialogue ALSO sucks now. But the problem isnβt that funny dialogue exists.
Please reblog and add your nationality in the tags along with what you answered! I'm very curious about this; and it's not to shame anybody, so don't be rude!
Yeah sure we know how Neil is with reporters (bloody brilliant thatβs how he is) but How about Andrew? HowΒ does he act in front of the camera?
My personal headcannon is that he will do ANYTHING not to talk about Exy, especially as a Proffesional Exy player.
And I imagine him going through phases, testing how much he can do, before his PR Agent snaps and tries to kill him.
First time he is chosen to talk to reporters at the end of the game⦠he just keeps silent. Stare at all people with dead bored eyes, until they give up and ask somebody else.
Yeah, no, that canβt be. His PR Agent immediately tells him you have to, HAVE TO talk to the reporters, Andrew.
Very well, Andrew can talk to them.
Next time he answers all of their questionsβ¦. in german.
Ok, I see what you are doing here, I see. But no, stop that. In English Andrew, answer in English.
No problem.Β So Andrew of course answers questions in English, by convincing every reporter that he is Aaron (and also implying that they are incompetent by catching the wrong brother.)
Andrew can tell his PR agent is a step away from nervous breakdown when he gets a berating letter from her the next day. (He blocked her everywhere out of spite.) This time he even got a list that said You canβt keep silent with reporters, you canβt answer them in another language and you canβt claim you are Aaron, you have to talk about exy.
And honestly all that can be arranged.
So next time he talk with reporters, even in english! and donβt claim to be Aron single timeβ¦ instead he tells them he really doesnβt know anything about exy.
You see the thing with Andrew is that he has this energy, this posture, this quiet self confidence that makes it really hard to realize if heΒ is lying or not.
Just picture room full of sports journalists staring at Andrew unsure, quietly looking at each other trying to judge what is really going on.
βYou dont know anything about exy?β
βnopeβ
βNone of the rules?β
βNothingβ
βButβ¦but you play professionally!β
βI was told I have to keep the ball out of the goal, I donβt know anything else.β
βYou β¦ you trained with Kevin Day! Son of the exy! How is it possible??β
βKevin also told me to keep the ball out of the goal.β
Needless to say itβs one of the funniest after game interviews to exist and the moment Andrewβs agent starts looking for another job.
