#Europe Sniper Showdown

[sqinsights]

Deciphering the Global Marketing Automation Jamboree

The Numbers Game:

Picture this: the marketing automation market, valued at a jaw-dropping USD 13.1 billion in 2021, is gearing up for a growth spurt. With a projected USD 18.07 billion by 2030 and a 17.54% CAGR, it’s like witnessing a financial thriller, but without the Hollywood glamour.

Market Segments Doing the Electric Slide:

Email Marketing takes center stage, confidently flaunting the largest segment share. Meanwhile, Marketing Analytics is the underdog, racing towards growth like it’s trying to outpace its own shadow. It’s a dance floor showdown between the tried-and-true and the up-and-coming.

Global Growth, Regional Rumbles:

North America and Europe are the trendsetters, sipping on their marketing automation lattes like it’s the elixir of business success. Meanwhile, emerging economies are eyeing the scene with the enthusiasm of kids in a candy store. It’s a global marketing fiesta, and the music is blaring.

Behind the Curtain: Market Dynamics:

Why this sudden fascination with marketing automation, you wonder? Businesses are on a quest for operational efficiency, personalized customer experiences, and marketing workflows so streamlined they make a Swiss watch look complicated. It’s like they’ve all collectively decided to become marketing Zen masters.

Challenges and Drama:

But of course, it’s not all rainbows and sunshine. Implementing robust automation systems is the villain of the story, particularly for the underdogs with limited resources. Data privacy concerns throw in a bit of unexpected suspense, raising ethical and regulatory questions. Resistance to change? Well, that’s the classic twist we all saw coming.

Meet the Cast: Key Players:

Imagine a bustling marketplace with big players like Adobe, Salesforce, and Oracle strutting their stuff alongside the new kids on the block like SharpSpring and Sendinblue. It’s like a high-stakes poker game, where everyone’s trying to keep their poker faces intact while making strategic moves.

Trends to Watch: The Plot Thickens:

Hyper-personalization is stealing the limelight, with businesses diving into advanced data analytics and AI for tailor-made marketing messages. Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is the plot twist, allowing businesses to target high-value accounts with the precision of a sniper. It’s marketing with a superhero cape, minus the spandex.

QOTS 5x05 Reaction Post

Good news if you like your blood bath’s angst free: there’s zero agonizing over pulling the trigger this week, thanks to some less morally grey villains.

But if you were looking for any fallout or repercussions or I don’t know an acknowledgement of last week’s proceedings effects on the interpersonal relationships of La Familia you’ve come to the wrong place.  

That definitely does not happen.  Instead we have the A plot of Teresa takes Europe and the B plot of GTFO Before Boaz Murders You KG.  The KG/Boaz stuff was allowed to leisurely marinate in it’s foreboding.  The Teresa takes Europe plot was like three episodes worth of plot in 30 minutes.

Don’t ask me to explain the Oksana issue.  I couldn’t even if I tried lol.  The show needed a reason to get Teresa to Europe so sure, paper-thin excuse, come on down!

I’ll accept nearly any reason to get the gang in suits and night out attire tbh. I’m easy like that.

Overall I liked the idea of this episode more than the execution.  The stuff with Teresa and Oksana and Teresa and Kelly Anne could have been great if it were allowed to breath a bit more but instead I was like “wait, what? EUROPE! the huh now? HEIST! who? INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT! 

I know there were scenes longer than 30 seconds but it sure didn’t feel like it watching live lol

I did thoroughly enjoy Teresa and Oksana kicking Durand’s ass though.

I thought we were going to get a Jeresa art heist but can it really be called a heist if all it entailed was James walking by the painting *once* and being like ok got it lmao.  TOO COMPETENT, VALDEZ.

(Seriously though is there anything not on his resume? He’s got the full vest of criminal scout badges: art theft, motorcycle stunts, private army, surveillance, assassinations, etc etc.)

I love that we’re conditioned as an audience now to know James not appearing at the showdown = him holed up in his sniper’s den.  That was badass.

I do kinda wish Rocco had been there to be a part of the massacre. I’d have loved to see Teresa encounter him again.

Though gotta love the moment Teresa hears Rocco is dead she’s like ca-ching EUROPE BABY.

Can you tell I’m avoiding talking about KG and the pervasive feeling of imminent doom hanging over all of his scenes???

Because my dude, Boaz looked you straight in the eye and showed you what he does to people “infiltrating his business”...get out while you can I beg of you!!

Also don’t mind that forklift in reverse beeping sound, it’s all the anvils loaded up for Pote’s dialogue.  Saying “You’re never going to be left behind” to Kelly Anne is like the same as pushing the Indiana Jones boulder of doom off the ledge, and we’ve seen how much Pote sucks at running.

P.S. When Pote interrupted Kelly Anne’s super vulnerable conversation to insist their baby HAD to be a boy...I might have whispered: “dump him.”

And one last thing, it looks like 5x06 will make up for it but if I were the editor of this ep, I’d have cut a few of the KG/Boaz scenes to fit in just a few longer scenes between A plot characters...particularly Jeresa after last ep would have been nice. And oh idk James learning about the pregnancy on screen perhaps? Who even told him? Or at the very least squeeze in James and Pote’s reaction to Teresa walking out of her unarmed meeting with Durand holding him at gunpoint b/c that would have been priceless.  But that’s just me.

And speaking of that preview...whew.  Not sure I’ll survive 5x06.  Goodbye sweet world, cause of death: Jeresa content.  Cannot wait.

I don’t think her destroying a church was necessarily pro-pagan or anti-church, it was just a casualty of warfare like any other because the setting was that: everything is being destroyed anyway. This is why I was fine with there being so much killing unlike in BvS where it’s not really “justified” at all  

Yeah they probably didn’t mean it that way but I just got a bevy of chuckles out of the sheer preponderance of imagery in that direction. I mean: sniper hiding in a church being a danger to the whole community, literal(in the movie at least, I’m pretty sure she’s not in the comics though I don’t really follow them) Olympian goddess smashing said church to rid the community of danger, then standing atop ruins of said church as the towns people cheer her and heavenly light streams down from behind her. That’s bordering on heavy-handed.

all the Olympians being “dead” (or better—never actually existed, the TRUE mythology being a mystery instead) would be more interesting than Ares being responsible for WW1

Ehh. Though, yeah, I agree with the idea of Ares being responsible for WWI being pretty asinine. Though the movie’s a bit confused here too: he says he’s not responsible for the war and he’s not making people fight, only suggesting weapons and tactics that they can choose to use to make it more horrible, but then the moment he’s dead those German soldiers pull off their masks, surrender, and everyone stops fighting. So which is it: was Ares just capitalizing on human nature to suggest ways people who’ve already decided to do terrible things can be worse, or was his influence actually causing people to fight, and by defeating him Diana ensured the armistice would succeed? Diana’s conclusion is that people suck but they can also be pretty great too, and you’ve just got to believe in that pretty greatness, and work to promote it, not that Ares was behind it all and that without him the war wouldn’t have existed. Like I said, I think they could have done something more interesting with an Ares storyline, but the movie would have been more consistent if there was no Ares, or if “Ares” as just war-itself, was the real villain, and preserving the armistice that allowed WWI to finally end the real victory she achieves. I get that Ares is her actual nemesis in the comics series, but how they included him here just didn’t work for me, and he looked just silly in that final fight.

Speaking of the brainspace part, the entire time I was hoping for a Nolanian (for lack of a better word, I don’t know film very well. Insert appropriate synonym for psyche-out) mindfuck where it turns out the entire battle was a hallucination. I was hoping Ares was a hallucination the moment he disappeared from the window in that one scene

I don’t think him being a hallucination would have worked, but that fight did feel kinda weird and off. Like, nobody but Steve and his team seemed to be paying any attention to it and they’re setting off these massive explosions and tearing the place apart. I kinda felt like the Germans were interpreting it as a bombing raid or sabotage or something, which how could you do that when there’s two people flying around flinging stuff at each other and telekineting the runway into projectiles? So the idea of it being not entirely physical, or something slightly outside mortal comprehension which people not in the know couldn’t entirely perceive almost seemed a bit implied with how it played out, to me. Who knows, maybe they batted around an idea like that but then decided to go for a conventional superhero final showdown, or maybe that sort of reaction was just convenient plot-wise.

I don’t enjoy there being One True Pantheon (the greek one) because that’s less interesting than a world where all religious beliefs have some chance of being considered. it’s less interesting than a world where it is still a mystery where Themyscira REALLY came from 

similar to how it is more interesting for us not to know where the Space Jockey came from rather than they inexplicably making the Alien universe infinitely smaller by making them the creators of humanity                            

I’m not saying “One True Pantheon”. Never at any point in their history did the Greeks ever say their gods were the “only REAL” gods, and including them in a fictional setting doesn’t bar you from including any other god you like, or even making them something other than divine(or “top tier” divine) beings(ala Marvel’s Asgard... And their Olympus and Olympians, to be honest), so that you can leave space for an ultimately ambiguously Abrahimic/atheistic universe like DC and Marvel have conventionally done. I’m just saying I didn’t feel like having them killed off served any purpose storywise for the movie(and I’d add it also hurts her chances for solo sequels, since most of WW’s enemies are associated with myth, Ares, and the Olympian pantheon in someway or another). The same effect could have been accomplished in other ways, and the path they chose -getting close enough to WW canon to preserve aspects of her origin, throw others into doubt(like her fabrical creation), but veering away from it where it might suggest something other than a currently monotheistic cosmology- was just... Meh. And I fully realize that this is the sort of complaint very few people are going to have, so no surprise that the filmmakers didn’t give consideration for this particular sensibility pride-of-place in their decision making.

I forgot to finish my thought on the hallucination part! Whoops! The point I was trying to get to was that one part where Diana rewinds her memories mid-battle to what Steve said—I was hoping so hard that was a psyche-out retconning the battle as something of a mental projection by Diana meant as a mental battle of ideas To Learn A Lesson so as to change the outcome of Steve Dying

Oh! Ok. HHHHHHMMMMMMmmm idontknow. I feel like that would have been super gimmicky and led to a lot of “it was all a dream” complaints. And -though I guess this undercuts all such psychedelic conclusions like the one I mentioned- I don’t think the movie really established its world and setting as the sort of place that kind of thing would happen in.

also why did Steve have to die I don’t understand why that was necessary 

Honestly, I think it’s because Steve Rogers “died” heroically flying a plane away from where it could do any harm in First Avenger. It was such a callback. Like really, the whole ending was pretty superfluous, but that aspect was especially bad. Like, if the flammability of the gas allows them to blow it up safely with no poison possibility, then why couldn’t they just blow it up on the ground with a grenade? Why couldn’t he just jump out with a parachute after flying it high up? If it’s effective range of threat was 50 miles centered on the point of release, then why didn’t they all die anyway considering the atmosphere does not extend 50 miles up? Like I said, I feel like you cannot make a WWI movie that doesn’t deal with loss since SO MANY PEOPLE died in that war and the sheer volume of the dead was probably its most remembered impact, and in that context I can see justifying Steve’s death, but having him die a heroic martyr, and therefore a war-glorifying one, like he did in the movie wasn’t necessary, and also undercut his character. Like, the whole point of it was just to include your conventional war-story sacrifice glorification, and it’s premise is literally an anti-war one, so that’s kinda ill-done.

But, having said all that, I still liked the movie. It wove action and humor together excellently, and I enjoyed the sensibility of it a heck of a lot more than that found in most action blockbusters. It wasn’t a cruel movie in anyway, it didn’t make fun of or belittle people and, while I did feel the treatment of them was rushed through, it acknowledged the downsides of violence and conflict through Charlie, Chief, Sameer(I mean, it’s not stated, but he’s probably North African and in Europe because of how inhospitable colonialism made his homeland), and the suffering of the civilians we see. The camera work was non-skeezy, the bath scene with Steve was So Good, playing on the humor and awkwardness in the situation, and in Diana’s curiosity&lack of physical shame(and thus obliviousness to Steve’s), without being objectifying or creepy; presenting Steve as vulnerable without being creepy or denigrating or acquisitive about it(again, most other action movies when it comes to women).

It’s a good, entertaining movie it’s just that philosophically, and aside from its a++ peopleing and gender politics, it left me a bit dissatisfied.
