throwback to already making the post like yeah lo cocodrilo is very xmas show villain with it but independently having fun Reading Into "& you know what that got me, hm? 😌 mmm...Not A Thing! =)" b/c i mean Of Course read into the like song / monologue Villain Explaining Their Deal that glosses over things like [that would be a crucial defining turning point & his own figurative death] & omits or misdirects & such but is Already also expressing some things openly enough in these ways that it does also let you know like this isn't a Flat Other kind of villainy deal, part of the relatable streak to any/all or what's the point, part of the [we are informed he has the range, feelings are relevant] so like yeah i'm going why Not that he had a special guy who was one way or another lost to him? then i get to connect like Lol Yeah Exactly when xmas goes "how can one small man have so much hate in his heart :(" (it's not the size of the heart of the man, it's the size of the hate in the heart of the man) "well it certainly doesn't have anything to do with my dead husband, rufus!!"
(nor his supposedly never-had little turkey man / junior, who knows what went down....all while naturally i don't think any particular More Granular & Locked Down explanation of cocodrilo backstory is needed, it's so hard to stay pure in a world where the tree branch turns into a gun to be sure in a world with an artificial sun, he used to be a turkey, got him not a thing, so he's not a turkey anymore, Plus any & everything he isn't explaining to us that might happen aproposly in a life, Up For Interpretation & that the effect of this villain is the [it could be you] for the hero, not [could never be me], or [is part of you] in that relevant overlap, having the ideals, sure, but what if they're disappointed....the kinda sheilaish, kinda judithish i read into cocodrilo's villainy origin implications, speaking of that disappointment & losing everything despite it all & [comparing the Respect/ed lyrics; importance of reputation for/& violence] & but also fuck everybody else then i'm looking out for myself responses & playing into the villainy as a means to do so, fun that then ofc in lihn these characters have specific beef & at first it seems like that hints at sheila's Oh No Absolutely Viciousness? but that that's turned on its head with the context beyond "uh oh. violence" like no, that was sheila being the more Sticking To Ideals one there in a way vs judith's [hold on to your ideals everything else is death] Is Death as cocodrilo brushes off his own So I'm Not A Turkey Anymore death & judith is the like peer minivillain if not for the adults who have the "greater" ideals about the broader systems playing out As They Should rather than just [fuck everybody else, i make sure i get mine, the only way] as with cocodrilo who is a villain who i'm sure could likewise believably pivot if the story had that Greater Villain who'd fuck him over too / prompts the reconciliation of Foilship there where he's a villain stemming from disappointed [being same as the hero]ness....have also in years prior, forget why but ofc does it really need a specific reason, been like hey i mean if mister macabee & the villain kissed like it might not fix the latter, but maybe it would, & it wouldn't make them Worse, & i'm up for that, so also i was like am i expressing this as well with pouncing on coconana shaking this jar of glitter? well no not quite i don't think lmao, even a bit beyond the Not Quiteness of [these are different shows] even with fun comparisons & parallels drawing, but it's also sure not all That different. maybe it can make him worse but if so in a way that's gonna circle around / had to get worse to get better there, kind of like with the jumping off canon [their one interaction] & make that Nigh fatal but also where of course that's gonna become another figurative death turning point too, it already was, what if you just were still also literally alive? & perhaps already the case in bsol where it is not telling us this is a literally conveyed story, here's every 5 min later for the friendship song reprise & i'm soooo. oh my god
#real journey of some thoughts here. had to listen to the turkey leg reprise Man....his rage & his wrath & his spite#working out the [getting muted by music volume] lyrics calls to me like for one thing; those iconis perfect rhymes#but the most of it i can make out & the effect it already has & the Rock 'N' Roll we're getting & the [refrain of Punching You rhythm]#the kazooing of full tilt....i run & leap into bsol material's arms bsol leaps into xmas's arms & vice versa#basically concurrent For Ars Nova productions that they were. yet the black suits being quite differentish lol. relatively plenty literal#not Comedyless as always thank god but quite moody all throughout; great time. i mean naturally bsol has Moods & Drama too#hard to be as completely vivacious & playful & ebullient as xmas if you're anything else; truly. while that show also makes me weep & be#laid tf out on the floor & also [as the friendship song reprise finale Sends Me: the baby please come home like imagine]#& all while ofc yknow like these productions varying in Style & Tone on purpose; varying in what they draw on & are about exactly#i.e. not some Platonic Ideal Locked Down Perfect Show. does any exist within some Single theatre show much less a broader oeuvre#to say nothing of like; look at xmas iterating annually & each being Different while connected to the other xmases. working if it's brand#new to you or you've seen every show from the start. not seeking Ah The Final Ultimate Ideal Version as an even theoretical goal#bsol#joe iconis christmas extravaganza#lihn mentioned but not novelly & mostly about the other two? so yknow. & i mean the black suits as well lol
