    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.

      Wait… it isn’t Thadeus?

      Not Thah - dee - us? But Thay-duhs? What the FUCK

        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.

        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.

      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. !<
