Talk Shonen

Time to immerse yourself in all things geeky and nerdy. Jarred and Turtle dive headfirst into debates and discussions from all of your favorite fandoms. On this week’s episode the duo discuss: The Foil, a literary tool that has graced the pages of amazing works throughout time; a character that pushes the Hero and the story through challenge and a directly conflicting personality, good or bad Foils always make a story better. Also Lancers, a modern trope in stories such as movies, comics, anime and more; the Hero's number 2 or their greatest rival, they help push the Hero to excel but also keep them grounded and steady. We explore that all Lancers are Foils but not all Foils are Lancers. From Dr. Watson to Scorpius, Killua to Vegeta; this week is all about those side characters that are so different from the main protagonist that it makes the story so much better for having them! So sit right back and get hot and nerdy on this week’s episode of Talk Shonen! Embrace your Fandom!
