#i could ruin or improve his life with sweeney todd actually

Based on the following conversation I had with my sibling while watching the JoJo dub for the millionth time:
Them: “Did Dio just make a Hamlet reference? Dio knows Hamlet?”
Me: “He’s a well-read Victorian dude with a university education. Why wouldn't he?????”
Anyway, I love the Polonius line in the dub. Not only does it have a villainous gravitas to it… but I can accurately pinpoint the exact kind of man we’re dealing with:
An adult theater kid.
The drama! The theatrics! It all makes sense!
Well-read? Yes, past me, but we already know that. Isn’t Dio being just a little bit of a theater nerd more satisfying?
“Yes, yes, we all know that Barry Sullivan has seldom-matched stage presence as Hamlet, but Sir Henry Irving was born for the role. If you think otherwise, your life is forfeit.”
Do you see my vision?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!??!
#look i’m projecting!#i need to subject that man to contemporary theater#it would be so funny#i could ruin or improve his life with sweeney todd actually#wait howie… did you just bring this back to dracula…?#yeah and!? what of it!?#jjba#dio brando
