Am I the only one who read it right the first time
All I know is I’ve been pronouncing his name wrong all this time.
same thing for me with Talescaria
I’ve been pronouncing it thahdehus 😭
The way it should be pronounced.
Funny thing is, the Supereme Lizard from episode 2 was voiced by a guy that voiced Megatron in War for Cybertron (the game).
Thadeus Vs the corpse of supreme lizard fight when?
Who is also the biggest voice for Hulk.
Where does he voice the Hulk?
Fred Tatasciore?
Dude after having read the comic, until I watched the episode, I always thought it was Thadeus, not Thaedus. I’m too busy mentally kicking myself for doing that to do any transformers references.
Wtf this is new knowledge to me too. Wonder how many other people didn’t even notice.
MAJOR SPOILER DO NOT READ:
! It’s kind of in line with Viltrumite lore tho. Like how in the comic Nolan says Nolan is close to his given name, but it’s pronounced more like “Now-lawn”. So maybe Viltrumites all have names that are similar to humans? Interesting detail I never thought about until now. !<
Wait… it isn’t Thadeus?
Not Thah - dee - us? But Thay-duhs? What the FUCK
Like how it’s angstrom “leevy” instead of “lehvy”
I KNEW I WASN’T THE ONLY ONE!!!
No not really. Levy is pronounced differently because Kirkman decided it should be pronounced differently from literally anyone else that has the name Levy.
Thaedus is pronounced differently because people can’t spell.
It’s not though? That one could go either way and was a matter of pronunciation. If you spell Thaedus’ name correctly, there isn’t much wiggle room for pronunciation.
the fuck you mean he’s called thaedus
Literally everyone in the discussion thread was calling him Optimus. Also, you’ve spelt his name wrong
Every time I saw him I just shouted quietly “OPTIMUS!”
Talking about this guy, does nobody talk about the fact that he looks like a human/viltrumite. Like, alien races clearly didn’t even know about the existence of humans until recently, so viltrumites are the only ones that look like that. The council clearly doesn’t even suspect that he might be a viltrumite despite him looking exactly like one, so what’s the deal? Is the galaxy simply full of human like races or is everyone simply stupid?
Yeah I was immediately like… wait is this guy viltrumite. I guess he is judging by the end of the ep.
“Alan, it’s time I told you about the secret weapon against the Viltrumites…the Allspark.”
I knew he was being voiced by Peter Cullen, and I still went nuts when he started talking. When I watch this again with my friends I know the episode will immediately devolve into us all screaming “AUTOBOTS, ROLL OUT” whenever he moves
So I’m all about Optimus Prime, but this role reminds me more of Cullen’s Coran (Voltron). I guess we’ll see how it plays out.
I had the same thought
No matter what, to me at least, he is and always will be Optimus
Bearenstyne Thaddeus
I mean, it’s because his name isn’t Thaddeus (thad-ee-us), it’s Thaedus (thay-dus).
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!
My friend said after episode (his guess, but pretty much a bullseye):
!“It’s pretty obvious that Thaedus is Viltrumite spy. He’s only human/viltrumite looking alien out there. Are those aliens stupid?”!<
