Talk:Big Lantern Ghost

Split Big Lantern Ghost and Mega Kantera
Ok, this is different from Raphael the Raven and Giant Raven as these one are different eachother and unlike both the Giant Raven and Raphael the Raven, they have some differences eachother. The one from Paper Mario's Japanese name is Big Kantera-Kun while the one from Yoshi's New Island's Japanese name is Mega Kantera. There are physical differences too, as the one from Paper Mario has a bandage, is roughly the same size as the mettalic Lantern Ghost, and has a different Lantern.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) Seems strange that these were considered the same character in the first place.
 * 3) Per all.

Oppose

 * 1) The only substantial difference between the two is that one is a boss and the other is an enemy; other than that, the Japanese isn't a great thing to look to in this case since the names for the differently-sized enemy variants are known to be inconsistent (case in point: Big Boo).

Comments

 * Yes Waluigi, for once, you support a proposal i make. -- 13:00, 7 November 2018 (EST)
 * It would be rather clunky to leave them merged. -- 13:29, 7 November 2018 (EST)
 * @Link, the Super Mario Manga Adventures text translated to he as shown in the article, while the enemy is it. -- 14:36, 7 November 2018 (EST)
 * Gender-specific third-person pronouns aren't required in Japanese; in fact, it's fairly rare and seems to be a relatively recent development. The English translation of Paper Mario does use "he" for the Big Lantern Ghost, but it was likely referred to with usual gender-neutral language in the Japanese text.

 * Ah, for your question "no one seemed interested in splitting" on Flamer Guys and Pyro Guys, i'm a little bit interested. -- 15:05, 7 November 2018 (EST)
 * Ps: But not as much as splitting Big Lantern Ghost and Mega Kantera. -- 15:12, 7 November 2018 (EST)
