Talk:Globox's species: Difference between revisions

Line 43:

So, '''Glute doesn't refer to Globox's species, but to his buttock.''' And I am not the first person who advances this theory. -- [[User:Boomboleros7|Boomboleros7]] 03:23, 6 June 2012 (CEST)

:I think Ubisoft was having a joke. When they use Glute, they're talking about the gluteus maximus, or butt. So what? Ubisoft's decision is final. That's also the reason why they named Clark the Superrabbid like he is currently: They were poking fun at Superman, aka Clark Kent. --[[User:Iheckler9|iHeckler9]][[File:Life.gif|link=User:Iheckler9]] 11:28, 6 June 2012 (CEST)

::I do. First of all, anyone not familiar with the subject might want to read the [http://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=4866 Globox's species topic].

::We had reached a consensus that no evidence allowed us to use ‘glute’ as the name of Globox's species, but the situation was suddenly and one-sidedly reverted on the wiki with Polokus' remark on Globox being “the biggest glute in the Glade”. Not only is the word ‘glute’ not capitalised, unlike all species names in the game, the French version of this sentence refers to Globox's butt, nothing else. Since [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/glute ‘glute’ is slang for ‘butt’], I fail to see how this sentence could change anything to the previous consensus; it does actually support the opposite theory.

::If we are to discuss the meaning of the word ‘glute’ in ''Rayman 3'' again, the ''Origins'' argument being dismissed now, then we have only two possibilities supported by facts: either the ‘glute’ is the butt, or a species. Boomboleros7 already listed a lot of points supporting the former. As concerns the latter, we have the ''Rayman 3'' dossier presse, mentioning ‘glute’ as creatures supposedly present in the “family picture”, as well as several quotes from Globox himself, such as « j'dirai plus jamais du mal des glutes » (“I'll never speak ill of glutes again”), « faut que j'aille coiffer mes glutes » (“gotta go comb my glutes”; could as well refer to the butt), etc.

::Given the lack of coherence resulting of the multiple argument supporting different theories, I am starting to believe that the word ‘glute’ is not meant to make any sense, and only used as a fun placeholder; it could even be a private joke among the development team. In any case, no evidence points toward it being the name of Globox's species, and this is why I suggest we move this article back to ‘Globox (species)’ and remove all references to this word as Globox's species.
