to be honest one thing I really wanted in uaf was someone call out the fact that Pandor is named after Pandora(the Greek goddess) I know it isn't really necessary but I am a huge Greek mythos fan so have them make a small pun about it would have funny like when kevin was making fun of the fact that Ben's cousins are both named ken and gwen I just feel it would have been a nice call back to that joke and kinda funny
As funny and as nice as it would be for characters in universe to comment on others names with meta-references, the thing about Ben 10 is where will it stop lmao! Take the Andromeda 5 again, P'andor is not the only one with a name referencing something with meta-context, we have Andreas who's in meta named after Andreas Fault (AKA why Andreas' Fault the episode is named that way), and hell... Bivalvan is literally named after bivalves like clams and such-
Also, there's Kevin pointing out Ben, Gwen, and Ken's names for a fun little jab, then there's calling out every alien name who's languages are literally non-existent and have stand-in English (or whatever relative language the show is translated into) names that make reference to things an audience might be aware of and making fun of it :P Not to ruin a funny goofy ask by mentioning lampshading lmao-
#ask#anonymous#p'andor#ben 10#sometimes someone's or even a planet's name is simply just a word in another language#keeping with the theme ra'ad is the transliterated arabic word for thunder#hell kylmyys is literally just finnish for cold#and it will always feel wrong when i watch the inktank's and beyond episode because they pronounce it killmus#heh the ipa for what finnish 'y's is literally /y/ but the closest english example would be the 'u' in cute#well... without the 'yew' kinda sound just the /y/
