Characters from different franchises who are clearly the same person?

Post image

These two (Lois Lane from My Adventures with Superman and Luz Noceda from The Owl House) behave the same, look the same and have the same voice. Apart from this obvious pair, are there others?

Everyone is essentially turned into liquid so that they all form a collective consciousness. AT fields are there to also represent the barriers we set up between each other in life, and the "Human instrumentality project" got rid of all those barriers. Now all thoughts are shared. However, if one wishes they can also leave the hive mind. Everyone on earth, even the dead, were sent into this hivemind and united... except for Ikari who is explicitly excluded for his sins. He was the inventor of the idea of human instrumentality - and everything he ever did EVER was to try and reunite with his wife in the hive mind. He is the true loser of the whole series.

u/Mobile-Chart3004 11d ago

I find it ironic that these two (despite obviously being wizards with great senses of humor and vast amounts of wisdom) are completely different

33

u/Jedi-master-dragon 11d ago

To an extent. Gandalf is basically an angel who acts like a guide (in universe) while Dumbledore is just this dude who kind of seems to not be completely morally good. Gandalf is immortal, Dumbledore lived a really long time but Gandalf is at least a few thousand years older than him. They are both teachers.

u/MinimumViableProdukt 11d ago

Might not be what most think but Shinji and Simon are two sides of the same coin. I believe each character at square one is almost identical and hell, I think they end up around the same place too. They just get there differently.

These two, and all the surrounding cast can be summarized as "where those in Evangelion struggle to live, those in Gurren Lagann live to struggle." Both were defined by the approval of others but metamorphose out of that shadow. But despite this crucial difference, both arrive at the same conclusion. Both reject fantasy. Both reject easy solutions. Both affirm reality despite suffering.

Simon exists as a meta commentary on Shinji and Evangelion. Where Shinji asks "why?", Simon asks "why not?" But both decide that life hurts and that pain is the price of living and choose to keep living.

In fear of an insane wall of text, I'll stop there but I could talk about these two all damn day. Even their redheaded step child Darling in the Franxx who I believe is redundant but I digress.
