I menyerahkan that Dr. ikan paus, paus might be Hades (from Hercules). I'm only about 10% confident of this. Archie mentions a "god complex" so this leads me to think of Disney's Hercules (if OUAT is pulling mainly from Disney-themed creations). In medieval bestiaries, whales are thought to symbolize Satan. However, "sparks will fly" and his penchant for flirtatious women doesn't seem to support this idea. He might be pan (Fantasia?), but where does "Whale" come in? It does seem that most characters' supposedly real-life names have something to do with their story counter-parts, generally in one of three categories: direct translation (MM. Blanchard [white], Regina [queen], Ruby [red]); simple association (Mr. emas [R.'s occupation], Ashley [Ashenputtle/Ashpet/Cinders, etc.]); atau indirect association/reference/allusion (Jefferson [Jefferson Airplane - "Wonderland"], David [shepherd and later King David, eventual father of a Savior]). ikan paus, paus doesn't seem to fit the first two, unless "whale" really is the intended message, in which case Monstruo seems the most obvious choice. The Dr. Frankenstein theory seems plausible but unlikely to me. ELO has a song called "Whale," which might account for the "sparks will fly" quip, but there doesn't seem to be anything particularly fairy-taleish about ELO. I keep coming back to "god complex"; that seems like a strong clue. And with tonight's references (i.e., "you're not my prince," "we've listened to anda long enough"), I'm even lebih intrigued. I have a couple of other theories that are probably even lebih off. Here are some of them: A lot of the "clues" of Dr. Whale's identity (beside his name, unless this is a pun on Wales the country) share parallels with the disney film Thomasina. Not Quite Human (Dr. Jonas) is a possibility, though equally remote. Maybe an iconic American folk hero?
