Revision as of 18:45, 28 September 2009
Somebody want to cite a source for this MLP thing? Otherwise, I call bullshit and deletion. --M Sipher 03:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- It's a fun observation, and probably nto intentional. Feel free to bullshit away. -Derik 03:03, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm 90+% sure that in some episode, Darkscream complains that he can't even fly, just glide. Thing is, that may have been a fansub of CR... agghh. --Thylacine 2000 01:06, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Gildo
I know spelling wise that is what it should be, but in my opinion with the past articles of japanese original characters' names. Glide would sound more accurate as his name, rather than Gildo. Hell, it sounds quite close to a very poor spoken version of the hiragana. 68.33.114.43 23:59, 27 September 2009 (EDT)
- Glide would be guraido (グライド) not girudo (ギルド). --Detour 00:01, 28 September 2009 (EDT)
- True, however the japanese language has several different ways of saying the same word, even if it's another language's word. 68.33.114.43 12:48, 28 September 2009 (EDT)
- Well a Google search is quick to reveal that there is no such thing as using "ギルドー" for "glide". --Detour 13:15, 28 September 2009 (EDT)
- True, however the japanese language has several different ways of saying the same word, even if it's another language's word. 68.33.114.43 12:48, 28 September 2009 (EDT)
Heck, the guy above saying "Dark Scream" complaining how he can't fly only glide, would strengthen my argument. 68.33.114.43 12:54, 28 September 2009 (EDT)
- I don't see how that proves a point any. --Detour 13:15, 28 September 2009 (EDT)
- Didn't say it proved a point, I said it strengthened it. TFs usually have names attributed to ther peronality or abilities, or lack there of, so a TF who complains he can only Glide not fly. It would make sense that his name is Glide. 68.33.114.43 13:56, 28 September 2009 (EDT)
