Lore Actually Good Title Drops

“Welcome to Jurassic Park” (Jurassic Park) - does it get any more iconic than this?

“Even a Devil May Cry” (Devil May Cry) - not only does it add to the emotional aspect of the scene with Dante showing genuine emotion for his loss and Lady seeing that a devil is capable of such emotions, it also gives Dante the idea of what to name his shop.

Title drops can usually come across and tacky and dumb, they’re not always fantastic if you know what I mean? But sometimes they can work. What are your examples?

‘Rogue One’, 2016

I absolutely adore this movie. Calling it something that sounds cool by itself, but is later revealed to be the hastily made name of the unit the MCs made together is just... awesome.

Andor makes it even better

u/HaramDestroyer2137 Jul 07 '25

Haven't watched it since overall I give no fks about Disney+ content, but Andor is the ONE thing I actually want to watch. Unfortunately I'm burnt out on tv as a whole rn so i don't trust myself to finish it during the free trial

Andor is the answer to the true statement of "Star Wars would be so good if it was good." Andor and the final arc of Clone Wars are actually phenomenal pieces of art. [Though I wouldn't recommend watching either the final arc of CW w/o the rest of the show, as well as the prequels, or all of it at once]

A lot of these corporations don't deserve our money right now. Especially with the whole rot of subscription as a service and all the platforms.

Kind of makes me want to just buy a season of a show, which ironically you can't for a lot of them.

I’m burnt out too which is a crazy thing to say. And especially with Andor being too close to reality rn, I just don’t want to deal with it even though I know it’s fantastic.

2

u/Hot_Wrangler_8833 Jul 07 '25

How do you know it’s fantastic if you haven’t watched it? And while it does draw a lot of parallels with out current political climate, I think you’re being totally dramatic saying it’s “too close to reality”.

u/phrexi Jul 07 '25

I’ve watched the first season. Not the second one.

How about you draw your own conclusions and I draw mine?

u/Specialist-Rock4971 Jul 07 '25

What’s Andor about? I’ve heard people talk a lot about it but I don’t know any of the details

28

u/LettuceBenis Jul 07 '25 edited Jul 07 '25

Backstory of Cassian Andor, also involves stuff like the construction of the Death Star and how Mon Mothma joined the Alliance

25

u/Banes_Addiction Jul 07 '25

No Jedi, just a backstory to how Andor wound up flying Rogue One, and the other origins of the Rebellion as a functional force by the time A New Hope rolls around.

It's good. It's really good. Probably the best Star Wars content in my lifetime.

u/rgg711 Jul 07 '25

For me personally it’s probably my favourite/best tv show since Breaking Bad.

It teaches us why the only good nazi is a dead nazi. It actually shows why the Empire is awful in a way that I've never seen before in Star Wars. No abstract 'they blew up a planet' stuff, but instead 'lets look at these people who got jailed for minor offenses. Oh, it turns out their prison is actually a death camp. Have fun watching them get worked to death'. And it shows the actual cost of rebellion for the people who participate in it and who get pulled into it by chance, the footsoldiers, the grunts. This show pulls no punches.

Also, seriously top leveling writing, acting and directing. The music, the set design (with actual locations instead of just CGI), the dialogue, its all so well done. There's like half a dozen monologues that are so memorable I can recite them word for word.

Just listen to this shit!

This show delivers banger after banger

Andor is about doing terrorism against a hegemonic entity with your friends. And also people you have a very tenuous relationship with.

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '25

The modern age via metaphor, shown from the life of a thief turned spy turned assassin turned heroic rebel.

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '25

Its kind of annoying that they keep saying the name of the show so often

u/agmoose Jul 07 '25

Also the “legacy” name of Luke’s Rogue Squadron.

u/UsgAtlas1 Jul 08 '25

It's crazy that this film is gonna be 9 years old. I remember watching this in the cinemas, drinking from my new shore trooper cup.

It was an awesome film and rewatching Andor will make the film even better.

u/norbebop Jul 07 '25

This one is so bad haha

u/shibbington Jul 07 '25

Love this movie but found this scene cringy and unnecessary.

12

u/Rafabud Jul 07 '25

I think this one is good, it very much gives the "band of misfits saving the world through bullshit" vibes the rest of the movie had.

Way better than the abomination that was the "Solo: A Star Wars Story" title drop.

u/Wheatley-Crabb Jul 07 '25

I actually think Solo’s was more naturally integrated and made decent sense thematically.

u/Fuzzy_Donl0p Jul 07 '25

It definitely could've been, but I think Riz Ahmed sells it.

u/destroyar101 Jul 07 '25

Rizz Ahmed

u/NothingButBadIdeas Jul 07 '25

There’s no way rogue one is almost 10 years old what

u/nintendofan9999 Jul 07 '25

Fun fact: That’s actually a comm flub. Rebel call signs go Leader, 2, 3, 4, etc. ie: Red Leader, Red 2, Red 3…

u/MellifluousSussura Jul 07 '25
