MORE MIDDLE NAMES
WAIT REALLY??
*checks empty inbox*
So no Ned?
If Ned Chicane somehow miraculously returns from the dead all of you fuckers are legally required to spam my inbox with “HE LIVES” and then any middle name that comes out of his mouth
I won’t be able to listen to Amnesty for a hot minute please do this for me and for Ned Chicane,,
okay though, in all seriousness, can we give a round of applause to clint mcelroy bc the characters he has played in the adventure zone are fucking phenomenal?
like, ik i joke a lot abt merle but so many of the taz quotes that stick w/ me are merle’s!!! like “choose joy” and, i know this one wasn’t said by merle but to merle but, “i’m not your pan, but you will always be my merle,” and, even though it was played off as an uncomfortable moment, merle telling lup to dance every day, and then merle telling davenport that he wants to live on the beach because the scenery is always changing? i can’t even explain why that line is so beautiful to me but it sure makes me emotional
and then ned chicane? if you give me some time, i could probably argue that ned is one of the most well written characters in the entirety of the adventure zone. not only is clint very fucking good at monster of the week and incredibly fucking amazing at being ned chicane, but ned’s entire character? a thief who walks the line between “good” and “bad” (very subjective terms but yeah)? a man who believes that he isn’t good enough for redemption or friendship and who believes that he isn’t good for anything and is just a coward, all the while showing some of the most selfless acts and showing time and time again that people can change for the better? a character consumed by guilt and who just wanted to make things better with his friend but everything broke bad before he could? and that line he said to victoria, i don’t remember it word for word, but it was something like, “i’ve had the good honor of being your friend,” and his entire “i fucked up” speech to aubrey was perhaps one of the most powerful taz moments, and all of episode 28? the fucking letters? the way clint presented those, along with the way he presented “ned’s” broadcast… they’re fucking amazing
like, i don’t talk abt clint’s characters enough on this blog but… he has a way of playing characters that, at first glance, are so comical, like, “oh goofy cleric who is bad at healing and is kinda bad at being a dad” and “former thief runs a monster museum that he thinks is all bullshit” but, in the next breath, he shows us an entirely different side of these characters that shows that they are trying their best and that they care and that they’re so much more and so much better than they think they are
tl;dr: clint mcelroy is fucking excellent at creating characters
Clint mcelroy is so underrated and it’s a crime because he’s amazing y’all
Sadly, this is now complete and I’m sad. Can taz stop turning goofs into heartbreaking scenes, please?
