Murderplier Is Murdock
So, I’ve seen on tumblr floating the idea of calling Murderplier aka this bad boy right here
Murdock. I, personally, loved this for two reasons. It has the word Mur in it, as in Murder, Murderplier etc, and also Ock, as in Dock Ock from the other MCU (Marvel) because the two characters look very similar, most notably in their glasses. HOWEVER. In doing a rp recently I made even MORE connections for why this is the perfect name for our artistic friend here. A. It is a very uncommon name, in fact, the SSA doesn’t even have the name registered, just like how our buddy here if off grid laying low as a murderer.
B. One of my personal favorites which was pointed out to me, in Who Killed Markiplier, when they’re all going around saying “Murder” to summon the lightning, Wilford Warfstache uses the name as a test to see if the lightning strikes. Kinda cool cause he’s yknow, a murderer! And it’s a fun little connection between the two that can lead to some cool headcanons if you think about it.
C. I just found this one out which pushed me to make the post.. the actual definition of the name Murdock. Is HELLA ironic for our boy here. It’s literally the perfect opposite.
And so, these are my reasons why I implore the Markiplier fandom to spread the Murdock love and keep dubbing this boy- Murdock.
