My Espagnol is mostly courtesy of Babelfish, so it’s a bit spotty.
The vagueness of the language and stylized images (Wild Wild West or Sergio
Leone?) make it seem more real, somehow. I think the imagination finds it easier
to transform than super crisp Lego images and plain English text. You can read
along and think “wait isn’t Luna the word for Moon”. And the visual style
changes when the mood goes from laid back to... horrifico.

btw - Bandolero means bandit, because they all wore those bullet holding
Bandoliers. Vamos Muchachos! Bang! Bang!
