“Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands”: What does the character have to do with Lisa Simpson

The “Borderlands” series is known for its sometimes raw humor, unexpected ideas, and quirky characters like Tiny Tina. The character was first seen in 2012 as a 13-year-old explosives expert in the sequel. Less than a year later, she had the “Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep” download addon named after her, which was re-released again in 2021 as a standalone game.

As the master of the game, the enthusiastic Tina led adventures in the fantasy pen-and-paper role-playing game “Bunkers & Badasses”.

Bohlmann appreciates one thing in particular about Tiny Tina, revealing in an interview with 2K: “I love that she’s the craziest character I’ve ever talked to and probably will. […] Sometimes Tina screams, sometimes she’s quiet, sometimes she’s totally crazy, sometimes she’s a little girl. Her personality pretty much sums it all up.”

But the dubbing actress sees similarities with Lisa: “Sometimes she also has moments when she gets a little crazy. For example, when she’s totally desperate because her family doesn’t see how smart she is. Sometimes Lisa goes crazy and that’s exactly when she also has a little Tiny Tina.” “.
