Thinking about better call saul if the action took place in france just because I wanted to see them in cunty robes lmao. More thoughts under the cut!
Obviously the action and the whole premise of bcs/brba wouldn't work in france (legal system aside, the whole cartel and walter white storyline would have to suffer major changes due to social security and the mexican cartel well. not existing here stricto sensu). But let's talk about the real Important Stuff : their names
I think Howard Hamlin would work well as Edouard Hamelin. He looses the cool HH initials yes, but it works really well as a genuine french name imo, and Howard/Edouard are pretty close phonetically
Chuck could still be called Charles without any realism issue, but he'd be nicknamed Charlie rather than Chuck because that's what a french person would go for... nicknames don't work the same, yeah
Kimberly Wexler and James McGill, I have no idea lmao. James when translated becomes Jacques, but it's such a boomerish uncool name that I cannot resolve myself to call my boy like that. It's also one generation too old. Jimmy being born in '60 could technically be called Jacques, but it'd be old-fashioned, as it's a name mostly given to the kids of the decade that came before him. McGill is an irish name, so something funny could be making Jimmy a breton with a funky last name like Gall/LeGall ? That's hilarious to me. But who knows.
Saul Goodman is a pun, so this is even harder for me to conceptualize. Saul's marketing would definitely not work in france at all, as no one would realistically hire a lawyer with a puny name and such chaotic displays (+ I think ads for legal démarchage are illegal mind you). However, let's have a crack at it. It would have to be a pun based off an expression similar to "it's all good man", or implying something positive and familiar... I need to think on that one.
"You form the most interesting relationships with people, Cleo" I am thinking now, was an extremely bold thing of Etho to say, considering the way he interacts with his friends on daily basis
actually you know what while I’m in a slightly ranchers mood. okay so I’ve seen a lot of cute fics where jimmy goes to hang out with the hermitcraft side of team ZIT, right, and they ARE cute. however I think also it fundamentally fails to take into account that both jimmy and zedaph are weird little blonde, overly proud, easily offended british men who can be really possessive over things they like. plus zedaph is a Known Grumpy Introvert and jimmy automatically positions himself on the defensive.
what I’m SAYING is that I personally imagine that if tango introduced zedaph and jimmy they’d hiss and spit at each other like feral cats and IMMEDIATELY get extremely competitive over who’s the better tango friend while tango sits there like “oh good they’re getting along :3”,
(Also sorry for the crappy quality I had to screen record my drawing and then edit the video and crop it so that it’ll look like jimmy just appears out of thin air)
