NationsOfTheWorldMontage | ||
comment |
No, this isn't when Yakko Warner performs a musical number. A form of montage that uses shots of various cultures from all around the planet, doing the same thing. It's frequently used to show a global unity, that in the times of the greatest fight, the direst crisis, or the merriest celebration, we, humans, are not so different after all. Despite that, it might still mildly poke fun at National Stereotypes. Due to the Lowest Common Denominator, if a culture is meant to be recognized from a single shot, this picture will probably contain the single most famous landmark of that culture as well. Not to mention it might be the same time of day in all countries. Distantly related to Travel Montage, which might use similar imagery. Often used with Gondor Calls for Aid when the called groups are also different cultures, and they are all shown answering the call. May be used to indicate The Whole World Is Watching. Sometimes combined with Do Not Adjust Your Set to confirm that the broadcaster has indeed taken over all screens in the world. |

Adventure Time: In "Jake The Brick", Jake attempts to achieve his dream of being a brick in a crumbling shack and eventually starts to make a commentary on the animal life on his surroundings out of boredom, which are broadcasted by Finn through a walkie-talkie and end up becoming a radio sensation across the land. When Jake's narration gets to its climax, all citizens of Ooo are shown reacting to the story in a montage, from members of the main cast to characters not seen since their debut episodes. | |

An example is Marvel's Fear Itself, where the actions of the Worthy are shown all over the world: Giant-Man fighting Skirn (Titania) and Greithoth (Absorbing Man) in Dubai, Nul (Hulk) ravaging Brazil and then getting launched all the way to Dracula's doorstep in Romania, Mokk (Grey Gargoyle) turning almost all of the Parisian populace into stone, Nerkkod (Attuma) attacking the coast of Canada and so on and on. | |

"The Christmas Invasion" was likely the first time, with Paris and Rome seen during the montage of blood-controlled people lining up on rooftops.
