From what I’ve heard, that kind of editing became a staple of Indian soaps because a lot of people have the TV running while doing other things (like household chores) and the dramatic sound effects and editing are pretty much meant to signal for you to pay attention so you can go “Oh shit!” at the dramatic thing happening

And there’s probably a bit of an arms race between soaps, trying to out-drama each other lol

It’s called “one tenth of a character introduction from an Indian soap opera”

In the local Icelandic Kirksmas tradition we actually celebrate Kirk getting mauled by a giant woke cat that stalks university campuses for conservatives instead of getting shot. We call it the Yale Cat

Depends on whether he went “A-hyuck, watch me score this sweet header! GAWRSH” as it happened

The best is Final Fantasy X-2.5 ~Eien no Daishō~, because one of the main plot points is a protagonist tragically dying by mistaking a bomb for a football.

The worst is every Final Fantasy where this does not happen, which I think is all of the others (except maybe Kingdom Hearts??)

It’s fun to think about people who actually believe their country would care even a little bit more about killing them than it does about killing foreigners as soon as it becomes the convenient thing to do
