54. "RE: not really, volume 3"
In response to message #53
 
   >- YUUBARI as Tony Stark/Iron Man: While Kancolle fandom has two girls
>as the resident "wrench wench," she's the one usually more depicted as
>a "mad scientist" and thus really fits well with Tony's personality.

That, and Akashi isn't really armed and so generally doesn't find herself in combat unless the admiral has very screwed up.

Yuubari:Akashi::Wheeljack:Ratchet

>- BISMARCK as Thor Odinsson: The Teutonic powerhouse who the fandom
>like to show as a hard-drinking party girl when she's not bashing in
>heads.

The collision of this assessment with the alternate interpretation of Bismarck as Big Akatsuki resonates weirdly with Movie Thor's daddy issues. :)

>- GRAF ZEPPELIN as Natasha Romanov/Black Widow: Okay, this one was
>sort of a stretch, as Graf was (at the time I cast her) the only
>carrier who uses her turrets as a weapon rather than some form of bow
>or crossbow. Saratoga's since been added, but her personality doesn't
>really fit.

Ark Royal looks the part the most of the extant carriers, though she is also an archer. Natasha doesn't really need to be a carrier, though. I mean, if anything

GANGUT
(crouching behind cover while fairy gun crew frantically reloads #1 turret; muttering around the stem of her pipe)
Is like Arkangelsk all over again.

KAGA
(giving her the side-eye)
You and I remember Archangel very differently.

yeah? I mean...

>- INAZUMA as Bruce Banner/The Hulk: Come on, what is funnier than the
>idea of a little kid who becomes crazy strong and mean when angered?

As someone else noted, "Middle of the night, this neighborhood, books on naval strategy, I figure she about to start some shit."

>- OOYODO as Phil "Agent" Coulson: Okay, I admit it, I just went with
>my first instinct which was "Who is the person you least expect to be
>a badass?" and Ooyodo was the answer. I get tickled by the fandom's
>interpretation of her as secretly a goddess of death because of her
>daily mission of "scrap two ships."

I am amused by the fan works in which Ooyodo and Akashi, the ships, are Totally Not the Mission Girl and Item Shop Girl, and get annoyed when the admiral mistakes them for same.

>- TAKAO as Maria Hill: I can't take credit for this as Gryphon
>selected her, but I do see her as a common secretary ship in fandom so
>it makes sense.

I think it was mainly just about the hairstyle. I needed someone to stand there and provide the straight line for Tony's question about the holodisplays, and she was available. :)

>- TENRYUU as Nick Fury: Again, another Gryphon pick, and yeah it was
>mostly about the eyepatch. But she also is generally depicted as
>having a fiery personality (when she's not playing "cool big sis" for
>destroyers), so I like it.

"I recognize that the Admiralty has made a decision. However, since it's a stupid-ass decision, I have chosen to ignore it."

>- SHIMAKAZE as Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver: Be honest, how does this
>not work? Without Le Fantasque, Vashkent, or
>Capitani Romani in the game, there's only one speedster and
>she's also an arrogant little twerp who disrespects her elders.

I haven't seen any of the Marvel films past the original Avengers, but I gather from fragmentary references I've seen here and there that he comes to a Bad End in whichever one he appears in? Which is kind of too bad.

>- HIBIKI as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch: Kancolle has a few "creepy"
>girls, but Hibiki's too cute not to include in this cast.

And then she said "no more cruisers" and really bad shit happened.

>- AKASHI as Howard Stark: Another Gryphon casting choice, the other
>half of Kancolle's "wrench wench" duo.

The chronology doesn't really work, but on the other hand, Akashi as Howard in Captain America leads to Akashi as Howard in Iron Man 2.

"Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of all of us here at Akashi Industries, I'd like to show you... my ass."

>- KONGO as Margaret "Peggy" Carter: Kancolle's original British girl,
>before they added Warspite and Ark Royal. Might have to recast now,
>if only because Kongo has a tendency to butcher the English
>language...but then again, so does Iowa...

I tend to ignore the fan convention that Kongou's forgotten how to speak English, instead treating her weird dialect as an artifact of the voice casting. If anything, her lines read in translation like the joke they were going for is that she doesn't speak Japanese very well, but they hired a Japanese voice actor, so in implementation it ends up coming across the other way desu.

>I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure those are most of the parts
>cast so far. I'm lost on who to cast as Vision, but I'm leaning
>towards Kirishima as she's another girl who is frequently depicted as
>a secretary ship with a cool and calm personality.

I almost think Vision ought to be an Abyssal defector. They tend to have the appropriate affect. Destroyer Princess, maybe, or the one who's basically an evil mash-up of the whole Sendai class.

And introducing Fubuki as James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes, obviously.

(I love that joke because it works two ways, since fubuki is Japanese for blizzard.)

>Scott Lang or Peter Parker? I'm drawing a blank right now.

I don't know Ant-Man well enough to speculate, but

EARTHFORCE MP
(brandishing pistol)
Hold it right there!

SENDAI
(recoiling in unconvincingly overacted terror)
Oh no! My only weakness! Really small guns!
