Vecna full-naming people is such a Brennerism to me. Sometimes I still think about that one shot of burnt proto-Vecna looking more like Matthew Modine than Jamie and I wonder....
Honestly it’s probably because he’s so uncreative and he’s used to calling people by numbers; but now he has actual names to keep track of 😭 and they’re the same names just different variations over and over and over so he has to fucking full name them because otherwise if he called Will Billy he’d be fucked.
And that’s how you beat fascism tbh they’re so uncreative and they’re so going to get too cocky (did our characters have to act like they didn’t know what was going on and talk in codes to avoid detection?) If the villain THINKS he won, he’s going to let his guard down.
He’s not much of an artist, he’s literally just like reusing their favorite media and games and music. Fascism literally just views art as propaganda and mass media production.
It’s mentioned in Suspicious Minds that Brenner doesn’t even lock his files in his files at NHL because he already feels like he’s got everything under control. That’s how Terry & friends find out about MKUltra and that Brenner’s testing on children.
