Watchin the original Yu Gi Oh with my roommate and the scene opened onto Pegasus sitting alone at a table that fits 50 people in front of a massive bowl of fruit, eating a plate of JUST gorgonzola cheese (and a sprig of parsley) with a fork, drinking what was clearly wine but described as the finest of fruit juice (bottle had a picture of an apple on it. This was a red liquid guys) and when his guard came in to tell him that the 7-year-old he'd kidnapped had escaped he basically said "can't you see you're interrupting my me time?" And we had to pause. For many minutes. I'm sorry I just couldn't keep it together
With EVERY series, they try to make duel monsters more scary and ominous, by telling some great story about how this ancient civilization utilized/fought with/coexisted beside these magical monsters from another world, but then something TERRIBLE happened and all that history and magic spontaneously evaporated. Like yes, the mayans, the atlantians, the persians, the egyptians, all of them personally knew that magic existed and made vast societies with the power granted to them by inter-dimensional dragons. ANYways, here comes Maxamillion Pegasus with this kooky new idea for a childrens card game. It uses MONSTERS and SPELL CARDS and is a TOTALLY ORIGINAL IDEA because MAGIC ISN’T REAL.
Like, 24?!?!?! The fuck were you doing dude?! Yeah, mourn your dead wife and everything. Everyone grieves differently. But you didn’t need to be kidnapping grandpas. You’re young, you’re rich, you’re in California. Go to the club!!!
