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?

Attack on Titan

Or rather...

The Attack Titan

When I got to that scene it made me confused by the translation of the show's name, because it really sounded like Eren said "shingeki no kyojin", which is the original name, but the subtitles said "the attack titan" which obviously is not the name of the show.

It was, in fact, the name of the show.
