Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif سيف, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi ذَهَبِيّ
.
#I don't know Arabic so I can't weigh in that much but if you say so!
#it seems like these mean “sword” and “golden” respectively that's neat
#Machete wouldn't be able to cling to his Catholic guilt in that case
#I don't think Islam has the same concept of original sin that Christianity does
#I'm simplifying but it's a belief that humans are born with an innate tendency for evil sinning is part of our nature
#and staying on the positive and in God's good graces requires a lot of repentance which can lead to excess guilt and shame
#I could be wrong but I'm under the impression that this idea of a manufacturing error is a very Christian thing
#sorry I know you didn't sign up to hear me try to talk about big theology things and I don't want to make it weird
#but I find this stuff really interesting I unironically like to read and think about how religions work
#and how they shape things they come in contact with
#in Machete's case in particular his troubled relationship with God and his career choice are big parts of his character
#and why he turned the way he did and thinks the way he does you know

#Dhahabi is such a regal sounding name
#I'd steal that in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one extremely gold-coded character
