I Just Realized
Words that end in vowels are just more dramatic.
Perhaps because you can't really do a long drawn-out consonant. You can scream "NOOOOOOOOO!" or "WHYYYYYYY!" or "CURSE YOUUUUUU!" because they end in vowels (or vowel sounds). I suppose you can also do "COME BAAAAAAAACK" but it's just the -ck at the end sorta disrupts the effect of the "AAAAAAAAA," if you know what I mean. It's harsh and abrupt.
This actually popped into my head while I was considering why I thought Makuta was a better name for the ultimate villain than Teridax. Though what brought about the revelation was actually my thoughts wandering to how they were gonna handle episode 27 of TTGL in the Sci-Fi channel dub. You know, "Lagann... IMPACTO!" It's not even particularly drawn out. But it's just harder to imagine it having the same effect as "impact" with the "-ct" cutting off the vowel.
... so yeah. That's basically all I wanted to say.
