Even with the phonemes of any two given language varieties that are considered to be “the same sound”, there are going to be differences in what the average pronunciation is, so I assume that’s a lot of what’s going on here. The other thing is that English and Chinese have a lot of phonemes that barely or don’t at all overlap in possible pronunciations, so the algorithm is picking the closest match.

In what shows were those remarks made? I don’t remember that but I haven’t seen everything or rewatched most of the ones I have seen.

Is that true tho, or is it more that the writers of the various films had to keep the shows rolling out rather than really explore the ramifications of what happened? I haven’t watched the TV series, but the movies after barely touch in the fact that half of the universe went missing in an instant. That sort of premise cannot behind by a perpetual slop machine.

That’s fair. I’m in favor of being more explicit about it being a stupid idea.

I don’t think his plan is meant to be logical. All the other characters say he’s insane and he’s literally referred to as “the mad titan”. He’s just brain broke. It’s not like fascism in our world is particularly reasonable either.
