SERIE TV - GLI INTRO
Nuovo articolo dedicato alle serie tv fantasy e fantastiche. Dopo quello che ha presentato le nuove (e vecchie) serie in partenza, e quello sul vocabolario da appassionati di serie tv, oggi tocca agli intro, una carrellata di frasi utilizzate come introduzione a ogni episodio di alcune serie. Da non confondere con il riassunto delle puntate precedenti (il cosiddetto "Previously on..." e il nome della serie). Ecco qualche esempio, per capire meglio.
ARROW - Season 1
"My name is Oliver Queen. For five years I was stranded on an
island with only one goal: survive. Now I will fulfill my father's
dying wish. To use the list of names he left me and bring down those who
are poisoning my city. To do this, I must become someone else. I must
become.. something else."
ARROW - Season 2
"My name is Oliver Queen. After five years on a hellish
island, I have come home with only one goal: to save my city. But to do
so, I can't be the killer I once was. To honor my friend's memory, I
must be someone else. I must be... something else."
ARROW - Season 3
"My name is Oliver Queen. After five years in hell, I have
come home with only one goal: to save my city. Now others have joined my
crusade. To them I'm Oliver Queen. To the rest of Starling City, I am
someone else. I am... something else."
ARROW - Season 3variant (solo negli episodi "Al Sa-Him" e "This is your sword")
"My name was Oliver Queen. For three years I worked to save my city,
but to save my sister I had to become someone else. I had to become...
something else."
ARROW - Season 4
My name is Oliver Queen. After five years in hell, I returned come
home with only one goal- to save my city. But my old approach wasn't
enough. I had to become someone else. I had to become something else. I
had to become the Green Arrow.
Qui c'è un articolo su tutte le varianti di ogni episodio, alcuni non sono propriamente "intro", sono più dei monologhi di Oliver Queen, ma è carino rileggerli tutti insieme.
THE FLASH - Season 1
"My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive. When I was a
child I saw my mother killed by something impossible, my father went to

speed to fight crime and find others like me, and one day, I'll find
who killed my mother and get justice for my father. I am The Flash!"
