Delayed Narrator Introduction: Difference between revisions

== [[Film]] ==

* The Arnold Schwarzenegger ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'' film is narrated by [[Mako]]'s character, who Conan meets for the first time partway through. (According to one account, the original plan was for Conan to narrate, but Schwarzenegger's English wasn't up to it.)

* The narrator in ''[[Carne Tremula]]'' (also known as [[wikipedia:Live Flesh (film)|Live Flesh]] internationally) points out his own birth near the beginning of the film.

* In the film ''[[Gor]]'' the narrator doesn't appear as a character until the end of the film; he's the sequel's [[Big Bad]].

* Sir [[Anthony Hopkins]]'s character in the film ''Alexander'' (about [[Alexander the Great]]). Ptolemy was one of Alexander's generals. The [[Framing Device]] of the movie is Grandpa Ptolemy telling the childern about Alexander because it is the doom of men that they forget. Young Ptolemy did '''no''' narration during the action scenes. Grandpa Ptolemy's function was to tell about '''big''' battles which would be too expensive to show.

* In ''[[Bastion]]'' the narrator is a mysterious old man named Rucks. When the [[Player Character]] reaches the eponymous Bastion after the first level, he's revealed to be the only other person who made it there and introduces himself in the narration (although he doesn't reveal his name until a bit further in {{spoiler|when [[Player Character|The Kid]] brings back other survivors}}).

* The narrator of ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'' isn't introduced until {{spoiler|midway through Chapter 2}}, despite narrating the events previously. How she could narrate events she was not present for is handily explained, since she is an {{spoiler|investigative journalist and researched the events in order to write her book on the war}}. This also overlaps with [[Narrator All Along]], since her identity as the narrator is not revealed until the end of the game.
