I think I somehow got the idea that he'd achieved immortality somehow or something, like that one Epic Destiny in 4.0. Or maybe I just expected the next comic to address that. I dunno. It makes mildly more sense than some of the WMG theories.
If he'd heard about Matthew-the-hero, that could explain why he insists on being called Matt, but I don't think that's the case.

Of course not, he objected to the name again as soon as he found out the guy he was named after was a half-elf.

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
I imagine Matt reconsidering being called "Matthew" until that very second that Serrin drops the half-elf bomb on him. Then it was back to Square One. Also, Terrance popping in at the end made me crack up.

Something interesting I found out Yesterday that's probably been pointed out before. Astrid is the name of somebody in the TV show "Fringe" Is that where you got the name from?
It's relatively common over here.
Both the name and the reincarnation :smalltongue:

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)

edit: would be funny if the hero's name was Matt insted, then Matt would insist his name was Matthew XD

I know. I'm trying to explain the joke without being a jerk. I'm probably doing a terrible job of both.

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
Methinks Matthew's is either:
A half elf
A reincarnation of half elf hero Matthew
Or the legend of Matthew is perhaps a prophecy or a precognition about the rouge Matthew.
If he is a half elf, his hair is hiding the ear.

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
Or Matt could be a common name.

I like that idea. It's almost exactly the plot of a book called Morningstar, by David Gemmell.
I need to re-readf said book now...

So undramatic. :smallwink:

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
No, Matt's parents decided to name him after an ancient hero.
-
Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
Personally, I hope Maxios' theory is right. ^_^

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
It would make for a lot of interesting character development. For example, Matt wasn't telling the party something about his dislike of elves. Maybe he was rejected by his elven (or both elven and human) peers for coming from an interracial couple. Although it would be very sad if he blamed his elven parent for the whole thing.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"
"... you've got elves beating your as your entire life and the only reason you hate them is a dexterity bonus?!"
"Arrogance?"
"Try again."
"Androgyny?"
"That's even less reasonable!"
"... I can't think of anything."
"How about beating you up?!"
"That's a stupid reason to hate someone."
-
Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
No, sorry. Matt's a human through and through. It's jealousy. That's why he hates elves.
And before anybody asks, no he is NOT a half-elf who cut off his ear. Do you realize just how incredibly painful that is?

yea, now for my fanon theory!
Matt is somehow a half-elf/twin of a half-elf/Matthew is actually a dragon who disguised himself as a half-elf then 1800 years later took the form of the human Matt and is pretending to hate elves for some scheme for the greater good in some way./ooze/Matt is a time traveler caught in a loop where he somehow goes back in time, becomes a half-elf and becomes the hero of legend and causing the conditions of his birth 1800 years later through his own legend./Matt is a Doctor Who-esque Elf who is disguised as a human and pretends his hate for elves is just jealousy when he actually knows the dark truth of his people and escaped from them because of it.
and all these theories are true. At the same time.
In case no figured this out, I'm joking.

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
You now know how the Giant feels about his fandom, Coffee. *giggles*
If it makes you feel better, I believe Matt's what you say he is.

Re: Murphy's Law 4 (4 Times The Mayhem!)
Matt is a repressed HtE (Human-to-Elf) transracial.
