ohh i really like the doctor's speech in eotd in french? like the delivery is really good but also i feel like it just flows better? might just be bc of how it starts like idk "parce que, devant l'insurmontable, on essaie" is just way more of a running start than what it is in english. maybe i just like big words but damn thats nice. the first sentence in english isnt even a full sentence, it's a fragment. hang on im typing this out to compare

Parce que, devant l'insurmontable, on essaie. Ça ne marche pas, on reessaie. On apprend. On se perfectionne. On échoue de nouveau! Mais un peu moins. On se fait des amis. On apprend la confiance. On apprend à s'entraider. On n'y arrive toujours pas, mais on s'améliore, on s'entraide jusqu'à ce qu'en fin, on réussisse. Parce que c'est ça le fondement de l'existence et c'est mieux que le renoncement. Alors debout vous les humains qui êtes si brillants! On repart à l'attaque, et on triomphe. D'accord?

Because something seems impossible. We try, it doesn't work, we try again. We learn, we improve, we fail again, but better, we make friends, we learn to trust, we help each other. We get it wrong again. We improve together, then ultimately succeed. Because this is what being alive is. And it's better than the alternative. So come on, you brilliant humans. We go again and we win. Deal?

hjkhgj funny how much longer the french is. anyway. i think i like it better in french for real. im like hell yeah i'll go and get exterminated again to try and make this work. i cant even say whats better abt the french maybe the only difference is that i speak it worse bc it's not like they changed anything really?? i think if i had to pinpoint it it's in the start and the end only. devant l'insurmontable on essaie and on repart à l'attaque et on triomphe like idk theyre just...evocative words i guess? insurmontable, essaie, repart, attaque, triomphe. thats the essence of what shes saying basically

i also like debout for come on and le fondement de l'existence et c'est mieux que le renoncement. maybe i just like long words
