If I had a nickel for every time there was an animated character in a fictional universe who’s voiced by Nathan Fillion that I simp for, I’d have two nickels! Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
So with the announcement of the new Percy Jackson series coming out, I decided to rewatch the ol Lighting Thief and Sea of Monsters. I didn't realize before that it was Nathan Fillion as Hermes.
I've noticed something. In every piece of media Nathan is in, he always refers to Firefly. A show cancelled after its first season and had a movie. The reference in Sea of Monsters? A show about Hercules that was cancelled after the first season.
I swear Nathan. You find the most interesting ways to insert as much Firefly references as possible. I think there was some as Cayde as well but a lot of that might be within the first Destiny game.
I know in Rookie there's A LOT of Firefly references like "2x2 hands of blue" and another being "I like to feel shiny." Ah Nathan. You silly man.
I don't know if Ace of Spades having "Firefly" on it is a reference or not, because that's the show that made Nathan Fillion (Cayde's VA) famous, but even if it isn't, I'm going to tell myself that it is. I can just imagine the Bungie team being like, "we have to give it Firefly."
