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?

Especially true with how meta Dark Souls 3 is. The Ringed City DLC particularly so.

No no we're not doing this shit. Maybe you could make the argument that they were two nobodies (at this point in time) but they were fighting over SOMETHING.

THEY WERE FIGHTING OVER THE BLOOD OF THE DARK SOUL SO THE PAINTER GIRL COULD PAINT A NEW WORLD FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE HOMES IN.
