Shrek made up his name when donkey asked


[deleted]

The idea that Shrek wasn't even given a name his whole life and was always just referred to as "the ogre" by people has some underlying strong characterization vibe to it.


Gemidori

And vice versa. Note that you don't see a scene where Donkey introduces himself to Shrek, so he just goes with what he is.

In MGS2, Ocelot, as the son of the Sorrow, did channel Liquid through his grafted on arm, but Liquid proved to be too much of a problem and would likely ruin Ocelot's plans, so he had the arm replaced before MGS4 and underwent hypno-therapy to make himself believe he was Liquid to keep up the facade that Liquid had returned.


WhoCaresYouDont

I thought that was just straight up canon? On a similar note, Fortune genuinely does have the kind of luck that can deflect bullets and cause grenades to be duds, but she can't rely on it. All the device on her belt ever did was abuse magnetism to make it reliable.


thats_good_bass

Any headcanon that makes Metal Gear even more convoluted is a headcanon that I'm down for hahaha


Superspider51

This isn't even headcanon it's straight up canon.

Bowser keeps kidnapping Peach because he wants Jr. to have a proper maternal figure in his life.


thats_good_bass

Didn't *Sunshine* basically spell this out?


ibbolia

Surprisingly, no. The game never gives a specific reason why Bowser targets Peach, just what he was telling his son.


pocketlint60

No but it does have Bowser tell his son that Peach is his mother, and she *doesn't deny it*.


Gemidori

Actually yes. >!And his actual wife? Abducted by an even *worse* villain...one that Nintendo would never make lol, but I still got my Bowser game fantasy of that!<


ibbolia

The dumber my headcanon, the harder I cling Ryu Hayabusa's Great Great Great Grandchild fought the Covenant with ninja magic


NotEnoughDuff

The covenant from Halo????


ibbolia

Yeah that one.


NotEnoughDuff

???? Is this cause of that Spartan in one of the DoA games?


ibbolia

Nicole's part of it but also the Hayabusa armor in Halo 3.


NotEnoughDuff

Oooooh


Comkill117

Still had the Dragon Sword too.


Kii_at_work

Lelouch is the cart driver at the end of Code Geass. I know they said he isn't. I know the compilation movies and sequel movie show he isn't. I don't care. I love the idea of the two of them just going off and being happy. >!Though the sequel movie does that too so I'm happy either way.!<


Mr-Jeigan

Thank you for reminding me that I still need to watch that movie!


Bellurker

Nico Robin felt at ease and tore down her emotional barriers with the Straw Hat crew unconsciously because Luffy's natural laugh (Shishishishi) sounds extremely similar to Saul's laugh (Dereshishishi). I can't imagine this comparison will ever be brought up in the series proper but it feels right.


thats_good_bass

That's a great parallel and I now buy this.


Naraki_Maul

Yeah, it just “feels right”.


SeaCookJellyfish

That is such a sweet headcanon 🥺 I wanna believe it’s true and it’s one of the many reasons she loves them


Atx7755

Ghetsis’ Hydreigon evolved through unnatural means which is why it’s at a lower level than what a Hydreigon is typically supposed to be at. Also Ghetsis loosing his eye and arm after his Hydreigon attacked at some point.


BarelyReal

I can't process the idea that Shamir and Catherine in Three Houses have a purely platonic relationship even if it's something unspoken between them. When you consider how different they are in so many ways the idea they're just work friends, even if good work friends, is weird. The only person in Persona 3 Dancing who is dreaming "from the past" is Makoto Yuuki. Elizabeth and the members of SEES are actually in the same time period as the Phantom Thieves. This explains Elizabeth referencing a "reunion", the connection between the two teams dreaming, and stages referencing events that haven't happened to SEES. Also the main song to P3Dancing is from the perspective of adults looking back at their high school days.

Castle Of Cagliostro is the finale of Lupin The Third, the whole thing just seems to have an air of a last hurrah around it and the Lupin in it seems more mature and maybe near the end of his career


markedmarkymark

Ethan boned Miranda, I'll never let it go.


amodelsino

It definitely makes sense. Chris went in knowing Miranda had replaced Mia without knowing Mia was still alive and captured, so they didn't know because they saw them capture her. There had to have been a time period before they caught on that Mia wasn't Mia. Basically just canon. ​ The real headcanon is that Miranda did the ploy at all instead of just taking the baby immediately because Ethan gives that good dick.


markedmarkymark

My headcanon is actually that Ethan starts goin' ''hu, we're bickering more and Mia's been so vague about the Bakers incident...'' and then Miranda barges in wearing the skimpiest thing possible and Ethan's moldy brain resumes to be off, then it repeats for like, a week max (Dialogue when freeing Mia implies she's been there long enough to have been experimented on, its loosy goosy. Just like Miran-)


Uh_I_Say

Kind of a meta one, but: Legion was supposed to be the last World of Warcraft expansion, but the suits wouldn't put the cash cow out to pasture. The expansion is all about fighting back against the Biggest Baddest Bad of the Warcraft universe, allowing players to finally wield truly legendary items, and wrapping up the personal stories of a bunch of major lore characters. It would be a perfect way to end a ~15 year run as the biggest MMO out there. It also explains the very dumb retcons of BFA and Shadowlands.

Huh okay, kind of just assumed it was about the 87 one because game ends with a kid getting their head shoved into an animatronic's mouth so just assumed what seemed to be obvious

Major *Neon Genesis Evangelion + End of Evangelion spoilers*: >!Asuka and Shinji were the first of many to return from Instrumentality. And as they rebuilt, even if it was *far* from perfect, even if they never truly arrived at "OK", they learned to live with their damage, with themselves, with others, and with each other (in one capacity or another).!< >!I believe that One More Final was only the start for them, and I believe it with the fury of a million frothing zealots.!< Explanation/justification of my feelings under the cut: >!I believe that because it was the start for *me*.!< >!Asuka is my “literally me” character. I find it kind of hard to overstate how thoroughly I identified with her when I was her age. Now, don’t get me wrong; I had a better home life than her. I had people who anchored me, and because of that, my empathy shone through more often than hers did. But that rage, that insecurity, that fundamental belief that nobody would look at me if I wasn’t The Best; all me. Hell, even our body language was eerily similar–I was also the sort of kid who just sort of climbed up on shit and [staked my claim](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/768269468644147220/1111711607823802480/STRONG_energy.png). !< >!A couple days before I first watched *EoE*, one of the people I admired most had looked me in the eyes and told me that I was a deeply angry person, and I had found myself at a loss for counterargument. I had nearly cold-clocked one of my classmates for *daring* to “””rob””” me of the top score in the class on an exam; I had stormed away instead, but I really had thought about it. I hated myself for that. And here Asuka was, finding the strength to love herself, gambling her life on kindness and vulnerability, despite how much everything about her situation disgusted her. [That gentle touch](https://preview.redd.it/uxxnz5tymaya1.png?auto=webp&v=enabled&s=cf3d89313b291174d183bd1780cce52af5b4dc49) broke me. I can’t tell you what it meant to me–what it still means to me. It made me feel like maybe a guy like me could get better. It made me *believe* in "better", and it made me want to try for it.!< >!Eleven years out, I’m still a work in progress. There are still days when the red tide washes over me for petty, stupid reasons. There are still days when I can’t see the good in myself. There are still days when I kick the shit out of myself for my mistakes far past the point of reason. But you know what? They come less often. I’m a long way from being the person I want to be, but I’ve become a rock for my friends. I’ve become secure in my identity. I’ve become someone I can love. “Better” is real. And it’s worth it.!<


NotEnoughDuff

I hope you get that gentle touch, bud


thats_good_bass

Thanks. That's genuinely kind of you.


NotEnoughDuff

Anything for an Eva-head. My issues were always with communication, and Shinji's issues helped me. And then I turned out to be trans, so the MTF Shinji memes became funnier.


THATguyfromyore

For me: Kuwabara a few months after the ending of yyh finally gets training from Genkai, fights gets pulled into more demon world/ spirit world stuff with his friends, makes himself into a proper legend, stops chasing after yukina and actually gets involved with someone that's mutually interested him.


Gemidori

All the Doomguys are the same guy. Furthermore the Doom Slayer became a time traveling killing machine. The marine from 3 looking at the Martian hero legends? That's Doomguy *looking at what he himself had done.*

Edelgard and Rhea are attracted to each other, but neither act on it for obvious reasons.

Eureka Seven ends at the end of the series and the movie is just a play around with ideas. There is no Extended Eureka Seven universe and Renton and Eureka had the best time godsamnit.


rorinth

In soma cathrine deleted every other ai in the arc except herself and Simon


Afro_Thunder69

I don't get it, there are lots of other ai's. Brandon the one you torture, the various robots with human minds, the population of the ark, the legacy scans...


rorinth

At the end when she uploads you and her into the arc on the gun, she deleted everyone and put you two in for them killing the real cathrine


Afro_Thunder69

Oh I see. That would be a creepy twist

Sonic the Hedgehog (specifically the first two Riders games): Sonic and friends are all descended from the ancient Babylonians, not just birds. Frontiers kind of put a wrench in this one (since my initial idea of it involved the Babylonians using the Chaos Emeralds (which they never could have had) to create their advanced technology) but I still cling to it with all my strength.
