Why do people in Cowboy Bebop use 20th century weaponry in an era of spaceships and hyperspace travel?
I know I am a bit late with this kind of show but hey, better late than never.
Why do people in Cowboy Bebop use 20th century weaponry in an era of spaceships and hyperspace travel?
Dominic Moore
Isaiah Wright
Because it's cool.
Carter Perez
Cause it's realistic
People use guns that date back to 1900 today
Brody Watson
It doesn't really make much sense but the show doesn't care. It's confident in it's aesthetic choice and the fact that everything else about is so good makes it so people don't even question it for more than 2 seconds.
Jordan Smith
Projectile weapons haven't fundamentally changed in thousands of years. A bullet is just a small arrowhead launched at a higher velocity than what used to be possible. Handguns rely on a really archaic principle.
Juan Diaz
Afaik that's true about bolt action rifles and some pistols. Nowadays it's more or less WW2 weapons and their future modifications.
Daniel Jenkins
Rule of cool.
Also this
Juan Garcia
Because it's a spaghetti western that just happens to take place in space.
Carter Reyes
Faye really looks like knife cat here.
Gabriel Johnson
Fuck off your cyber punk threads, mecahnical guns are still useful
