Arc of a Scythe Fancatsing! Pt. 3!
Welcome back Scythes! If you're new here please go read part one and two! okay lets get into it!
High Blade Xenocrates of MidMerica: Jack Black Yes, we understand that Xenocrates is a corrupt and cowardly leader, but to the point it's kinda... funny? Xenocrates is also affectionate and kind, especially to his daughter. he can be forgiving and generous, even though he must also keep his unruly Scythes in check. We are confident that Jack Black can portray all of these assets of Xenocrates personality, and that he can really bring this charachter to life.
Ben Terranova: Gavin McHugh Ben must be innocent, kind, and adorable. He's Citra's soft spot, the reason Citra takes the apprenticeship to begin with. We wholeheartedly promote Gavin McHugh for the role of Citra's little brother. His role as Christopher in 9-1-1 was just a perfect match for our interpretation of Ben.
Esme Xenocrates: Anniston Price Finding an actor for Esme was difficult, especially because of her age. We came up with Anniston Price though her acting is fantastic and really either of the twins would be perfect for this role.
Tyger Salazar: Brett Austin Johnson You know him, you love him, TYGER SALAZAR!!! Yes, Tyger can be shallow, but he must also be able to act those ESSENTIAL scenes with Rand. He is an important part of the plot, and his character growth in The Thunderhead is a big part of the character that must be seen and felt on screen. Johnson, especially through his role in Five Feet Apart (please go watch it, it's an amazing movie, but be warned, it is SUPER sad) Ginny and I completely agreed that Johnson was the perfect actor for this role.
Thank you guys for following along so far and I'm so sorry this one came so late. Thanks for bearing with us and keep a lookout for part 4!
Part four here!

Jackie's Valentine Day note to Robert McNamara, President Kennedy's Secretary of Defense, in full: "The most marvelous Valentine I ever had! I may put it in Jack's museum—A whole year gone by and you remembered and can still hit the same jolly note as last Valentine's Day. I think that is quite fantastic. Apparently Godfrey McHugh [military aide to JFK] received an unsigned Valentine and is convinced it is from you."

December 3rd 1906 saw his Majesty’s Theatre in Aberdeen open soon becoming the city’s leading theatre. His Majesty's Theatre, in Rosemount Viaduct, Aberdeen, was designed by the renowned Theatre Architect Frank Matcham at a cost of £35,000 and opened on the 3rd of December 1906 with a production of the pantomime 'Little Red Riding Hood.'. The Theatre is situated above the Union Terrace Gardens and was built from Kemnay White Granite and has an imposing copper covered dome.The auditorium with its Roman Classical style plasterwork was built on four levels with three curved balconies, and proscenium boxes, it could accommodate an impressive 2,300 people when the Theatre opened, but in 2008 this is a more modest 1,400, still making the biggest theatre in the north east of Scotland. In 1982 the Theatre had a £3 million refurbishment and was reopened on the 17th of September by Prince Charles, having been closed for the previous 23 months. The Theatre was again closed on the 13th March 2004, this time for a redevelopment project costing nearly £8 million and funded by the Aberdeen City Council, The Scottish Arts Council Lottery Fund, and Scottish Enterprise Grampian. The redevelopment included the refurbishment and modernisation of the front of house areas, the building of a new restaurant, coffee shop, and a corporate hospitality suite, a new Green Room and rehearsal room backstage, with improved dressing rooms. The auditorium was also refurbished and the seating re-upholstered. I must admit I have never been in the theatre, while it might be impressive, to me the statue of William Wallace outside is an added bonus. Majesty’s Theatre has their anuall panto on later this month, Jack and the Beanstalk, Greg McHugh aka Gary Tank commander stars with River City's Paul J Corrigan and many others perform a two hour show over two acts. It rus from 12th December to 3rd January.

BEGORRAH! 'TIS AN IRISH SUPERHERO!
Tumblr media
Superman meets Ireland's resident superhero, Jack O'Lantern, in DC Comics Presents #46 (June, 1982). Written by E. Nelson Bridwell. Art by Alex Savior and Pablo Marcos. Colors by Gene D'Angelo. Letters by John Costanza.
This was Jack's first appearance in the DC Universe continuity, but not the first time in comics. He, along with the rest of the international superhero team he belonged to, the Global Guardians, was first introduced in Super Friends #8 (November, 1977).
Super Friends was based on the Hanna-Barbera animated series that was broadcast on Saturday mornings at the time. As such, its stories were not considered part of the canon of DC's stories. However, after the Super Friends comic was cancelled in 1981, writer (and Global Guardians creator) E. Nelson Bridwell was able to insert the Guardians into the DC Universe-proper with this story in DC Comics Presents.
Jack O'Lantern was Daniel Cormac, a farmer who was granted a magic lantern by a fairy, presumably the leprechaun on his shoulder in the picture above (who, as far as I know, never made another appearance). The lantern granted Cormac several abilities: super strength, flight, energy projection, illusion casting, teleportation, and fog generation. Because of its magic properties, the lantern (and Jack's powers) were strongest at midnight, and non-existent at noon.
Cormac and the Global Guardians remained a part of DC continuity after Crisis On Infinite Earths. However, the group fell on hard times and split-up after the UN decided to sponsor Justice League Europe/International instead of the Guardians.
Jack then fell in with the villainous Queen Bee and was a bad guy for a brief period, even tangling with the aforementioned JLI. He eventually redeemed himself and became a hero again before eventually passing away from natural causes.
His cousin, Liam McHugh, then became the new Jack O'Lantern, with a different costume. McHugh was able to internalize the powers of the lantern, and no longer needs to use it. He was a member of the Global Guardians, the Leymen (from Primal Force), and the Ultramarine Corps (from Grant Morrison's run on JLA).

so @aemiron-main's recent post pointing out Hopper mentioning some girl named Alice got me thinking how it's strange how many minor randos mentioned have names that get reused later on the show.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
definitely weird that Alice and Henry both get recycled. those are the big ones, but there are more.
not going anywhere with this, but fyi I think this is Henry. I don't know if it's the same Henry who went missing, but seems likely.
Tumblr media
whoever Bev Mooney is, we have another BevMo in the mix - the news anchor who reports Chrissy's murder is named Beverly Moss.
Tumblr media
and speaking of Chrissy:
Tumblr media
Chrissy Carpenter is awfully similar to Chrissy Cunningham.
also the Creel family's car is an Oldsmobile
Tumblr media
"give me those names again" LOL okay: we've got little Petey McHugh / Peter Bingham / Peter Ballard / Lab Peter (I've lost track of the various Peters of petergate), Reefer Rick, Lt. Colonel Jack Sullivan, and... whoever this Jack is:
Tumblr media
a flayed Hawkins High student, presumably.
I was calling this a coincidence until I got literally here in the post realized that all of these are mentioned by/to/in connection with Hopper, and are all people introduced in Season 4.
the only s4 exception I've thought of so far is
Tumblr media Tumblr media
btw I swear didn't somebody say something about Henry and owls once? "attacking heads"... "four years" being mentioned yet again in the first episode (when the kids are leaving Mike's garage)... '79-'83... I feel like I'm seeing something out the corner of my eye here. Eleanor Creel I'm rooting for you
that's all I've got off the top of my head, if you can think of more please jump in, I would love to see if there's a pattern here that holds up??

The Eternals, a group of superhuman beings created by Jack Kirby in 1976 for Marvel Comics, have long been an integral part of the Marvel Universe. Known for their immense powers, ancient origins, and complex mythologies, the Eternals have captured the imagination of comic book readers for decades. In 2021, Marvel Studios brought these characters to the big screen in the film "Eternals," directed by Chloé Zhao. This article delves into the differences and similarities between the movie and the comics, examining how the film adapts and reinterprets the rich source material.
Origins and Creation
Comics
In the comics, the Eternals were created by the Celestials, god-like beings who visited Earth millions of years ago. They performed genetic experiments on early humanity, resulting in three distinct groups: the Eternals, the Deviants, and baseline humans. The Eternals were granted near-immortality and vast powers, which they used to protect humanity from the destructive Deviants.
Jack Kirby's original vision was heavily influenced by mythology, science fiction, and his earlier work on the New Gods for DC Comics. The Eternals were presented as almost god-like figures themselves, with a rich tapestry of stories intertwining their existence with the myths and legends of human history.
Movie
The film adaptation retains the essential elements of the Eternals' origin, including their creation by the Celestials. However, it expands and reinterprets these elements to fit within the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The Eternals in the movie are sent to Earth to protect humanity from the Deviants, following the orders of the Celestial Arishem. The film emphasizes their role in guiding and observing humanity throughout history, contributing to the development of civilization while adhering to their mandate not to interfere directly in human conflicts.
Characters and Relationships
Comics
The core group of Eternals in the comics includes Ikaris, Sersi, Thena, Makkari, Ajak, Gilgamesh, Sprite, and others. Each character has a distinct personality, power set, and role within the group. For instance, Ikaris is often portrayed as the noble and powerful leader, while Sersi is known for her hedonistic and adventurous nature. Thena, inspired by the Greek goddess Athena, is a fierce warrior and scholar.
The relationships among the Eternals are complex and often strained. Despite their immortality and shared mission, they have different views on their purpose and how to interact with humanity. These differences lead to internal conflicts and evolving dynamics over time.
Movie
The movie introduces a diverse cast of Eternals, retaining many of the key characters from the comics but with some notable changes. The gender and ethnicity of several characters are altered to create a more inclusive and representative ensemble. For example, Ajak, originally a male character in the comics, is portrayed by Salma Hayek, and Makkari, traditionally male, is reimagined as a deaf female character played by Lauren Ridloff.
The film delves deeply into the relationships and emotional lives of the Eternals. Ikaris (Richard Madden) and Sersi (Gemma Chan) share a central romantic subplot, highlighting the tension between duty and personal desire. Thena (Angelina Jolie) and Gilgamesh (Don Lee) have a profound bond, forged through their shared experiences and Gilgamesh's role as Thena's protector. The film also explores Sprite's (Lia McHugh) struggle with eternal youth and the limitations it imposes on her desire for a normal life.
Themes and Motifs
Comics
The Eternals comics explore themes of immortality, duty, and the nature of godhood. Kirby's storytelling delves into the philosophical implications of living for millennia and the burden of immense power. The Eternals' interactions with humans raise questions about free will, interference, and the ethics of their protective role.
The mythological underpinning of the Eternals' stories is a significant motif. Kirby weaves elements from various mythologies, creating a rich tapestry that connects the Eternals to the gods and heroes of ancient cultures. This connection to mythology enhances the grandeur and epic scope of their adventures.
Movie
The film adaptation retains many of these themes but adapts them to resonate with contemporary audiences. The theme of duty versus personal desire is prominent, as the Eternals grapple with their mission to protect humanity while longing for personal fulfillment and connections.
The film also emphasizes diversity and inclusion, reflecting modern societal values. The diverse cast and varied backgrounds of the characters underscore the universal nature of the Eternals' story, suggesting that heroism and virtue are not confined to a single culture or ethnicity.
Another central theme in the movie is the concept of faith and questioning authority. The Eternals' blind obedience to the Celestials is challenged, leading to a critical examination of their purpose and the morality of their actions. This theme aligns with broader narratives in the MCU, where characters often grapple with the responsibilities and consequences of their powers.
Visual and Stylistic Differences
Comics
Jack Kirby's art in the original Eternals comics is iconic, characterized by his dynamic compositions, bold lines, and imaginative designs. The visual style is grand and operatic, reflecting the epic scale of the Eternals' stories. Kirby's use of intricate details and cosmic imagery creates a sense of awe and wonder, befitting the god-like nature of the characters.
Subsequent artists who have worked on Eternals comics have brought their own styles to the series, but the grandeur and mythic quality established by Kirby remain a consistent visual thread.
Movie
Chloé Zhao's "Eternals" brings a distinct visual and stylistic approach to the MCU. Known for her work on intimate, character-driven dramas, Zhao combines this sensibility with the epic scope of a superhero film. The cinematography, by Ben Davis, captures sweeping landscapes and grandiose celestial imagery, creating a sense of scale and majesty.
The film's visual effects bring the Eternals' powers to life in a way that is both spectacular and grounded. The design of the Celestials is particularly impressive, maintaining their awe-inspiring presence from the comics while integrating them seamlessly into the film's aesthetic.
Zhao's approach to storytelling is more contemplative and character-focused than typical MCU fare, allowing for deeper exploration of the Eternals' internal struggles and relationships.

Cast: James Cagney, Joan Blondell, Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell, Frank McHugh, Guy Kibbee, Ruth Donnelly, Hugh Herbert, Claire Dodd. Screenplay: Manuel Seff, James Seymour. Cinematography: George Barnes. Art direction: Anton Grot, Jack Okey. Film editing: George Amy. Choreography: Busby Berkeley.
Busby Berkeley's great trifecta of 1933 also includes 42nd Street (Lloyd Bacon) and Gold Diggers of 1933 (Mervyn LeRoy). Footlight Parade is the least distinguished of the three by virtue of having the most inane of plots, but it has a wonderful performance by James Cagney as the harried impresario Chester Kent, who creates "prologues" for movies -- live action musical numbers designed to precede feature films, a phenomenon that survives today only at Radio City Music Hall. Cagney not only gets to display his typical volcanic persona but also gets to strut his stuff as a dancer. As in other early Berkeley films, the great mad production numbers are not spread throughout but instead clustered at the end. First comes "Honeymoon Hotel," which is a string of double entendres about the fact that people have sex in hotels and aren't necessarily newlyweds: e.g., everyone registers as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." Then there's the lavish "By a Waterfall," which anticipates (and excels) the swimming pool numbers that Berkeley would later craft for Esther Williams at MGM. And finally, Chester Kent gets to save the show by going on for a lead dancer who comes down with stage fright in the "Shanghai Lil," number with Ruby Keeler in yellowface, dancing on the top of waterfront bars with Cagney -- her clunky, anxious tapping is an odd mixture with Cagney's stiff-legged style. (We are fortunately spared one of Kent's more appalling ideas, a musical number about slavery in which the female dancers would appear in blackface and be captured by the male dancers.) The whole thing is good, mildly ribald pre-Code stuff: Joan Blondell's Nan, who crushes on Chester Kent, introduces the predatory Vivian Rich (Claire Dodd) by "accidentally" almost pronouncing her last name with a B, and comments that as long as there are sidewalks, Vivian will never be without a job.

“By a Waterfall” sequence in Footlight Parade (Busby Berkeley; Lloyd Bacon, 1933)
“Berkeley came up with the idea when someone asked him how he was going to top the numbers in Gold Diggers of 1933. When he suggested the first on-screen aquacade, Warner screamed “Stop right there! It will take the Bank of America to keep you going.” But a few weeks later, he suggested that Berkeley try the number in Footlight Parade. The set, complete with an 80-by-40-foot swimming pool, took up an entire soundstage. Berkeley had the pool lined with glass walls and a glass floor so he could shoot the swimmers from every possible angle. Then he designed the swimming suits and bathing caps to create the illusion that the women were almost naked. He rehearsed the number for two weeks, then shot it in six days as technicians pumped 20,000 gallons of water a minute over the set’s artificial falls. The results were so spectacular that the audience at the premiere gave the number a standing ovation and threw their programs in the air. Broadway impresario Billy Rose even tried to steal Berkeley from Warners to stage his aquacade.” (x)
