#Mark Slate

[the-meme-from-uncle]

Recoloured a bunch of my old drawings because I'm experimenting with a new colour palette (also I didn't have my drawing tablet so it was easier to just use on old drawing and paint bucket everything). Also, also, I haven't posted anything gfu in ages so I've really been slacking in my self-imposed job of reminding people that the show exists. Sorry about that, gang. This has been your reminder 🫡

also in my tmfu fleabag AU despite him being generally pretty chill it is absolutely mark slate who comes in with the awful haircut and napoleon who has to talk him off the ledge

U.N.C.L.E. statistics graphs

Part 2 of 3

[part 1] * [part 3]

All Man from U.N.C.L.E. data was compiled by @commander-kiranerys :

Series 1 * Series 2 * Series 3 * Series 4

Girl from U.N.C.L.E. data was compiled by myself and my sister:

* GFU *

Original graphs created by commander-kiranerys:

* :1: * :2: * :3: * :4: *

(more info and analysis under the cut)

Disclaimer:

As you can see from the data attributes, the mfu and gfu stats have been compiled by two different people. As such, results should be taken with a grain of salt as our views on what exactly constitutes 'torture' or a 'failed escape' may vary.

A word on graphs:

I felt that having compiling the separate info in one place in the form of bar charts was ideal for visual comparisons of the data, rather than jumping between posts. However, I cannot recommend enough commander-kiranerys's original graphs enough due to them being in the form of line graphs, thus giving a good view of change over time for the individual results of her statistics. This was not possible here due to gfu being part of a separate show.

Analysis:

Tied up: so if you're into bondage then MFU Season 3 is for you. Specifically Illya... (I see you Season 3 writers, I see you). As you can see from these graphs and the next two, the GFU villains weren't really very kinky. A shame tbh (who said that?).

Chained or handcuffed: I had combined these two separate categories into just the one in my data set and so I added together commander-kiranerys' results to create some compatible data. The MFU stats here remain very consistent before that good ol' Season 4 drop, they didn't get that same significant increase that being tied up saw.

Tortured: sad to see that Napoleon and Illya have never been tortured together. As the old saying goes, partners who get tortured together, stay together. Very tragic.

Drugged: a lot of the cynics out there will say that it's no surprise at all that GFU was on the most drugs of the series. But to that I say, just look at that MFU Season 3 stat! The least by a long shot!

Knocked out: the most impressive thing here is that if you removed all of April's stats, GFU would still be leading on getting knocked out. I'm more than a little worried about Mark; has anyone checked him for post-concussion syndrome?

Shot: my findings? Bullet wound Mark is an outlier and should not be counted. He is one gunshot away in his single series from equalling Illya in the entire run of MFU. The consistency of those MFU results is very satisfying to me, and then Mark has to ruin it! Someone get this man a touriquet or smth idc. Also April is bullet proof, aparently.

Wet: although I was too British and prude to tally-up instances of partial nudity (idk why I found that too embarrassing ok), I am not imune to fanservice and was more than happy to count instances of getting wet. Now, if you like your agents soaking wet, then aparently GFU is the show for you (yes this is a propaganda post). Though on average it ties with MFU Season 4; in terms of raw numbers it cannot be beat. Interestingly though, Season 1 Napoleon is tied with Mark for soggiest individual character.

I will freely admit that the analysis here is strongly skewed towards comparing the GFU results with the MFU results. Mainly due to commander-kiranerys having already created a set of graphs and gone over the MFU data there. I didn't want these posts to replace those in any way and instead to add to them. Please check out those posts (linked above) for a more MFU-oriented approach!

I hope you found this data useful or at least interesting! I would love to have discussions about these!

Rofl, a Man from UNCLE page I follow on Facebook just posted an old piece of fan art I made and shared here back at the height of my TMFU obsession. That was the absolute last thing I expected to see on my wall!

Istg every time I have to watch her run around furniture to get away from a handsy creep, I'm just like "punch the guy!!!" I love the show so much, but honestly my only wish (apart from more seasons) is that they'd let April commit more violence.

Oh, she is 100% the competent half of the partnership! And don't get me wrong, observing outside of context, she's not the most competent spy either, but that's fully down to her never being allowed to fight her way out of a situation - that's almost always what gets her in sticky situations. Mark doesn't have that excuse - he's just a bad spy (but I love him anyway, bless him).

i imagine that being in april's position as the only woman enforcement agent in section two of UNCLE must have been extremely difficult—all of the sexism and double standards she would have to navigate when it comes to skill, expectations in the field, even her social life; napoleon and the other male agents can perform international man of mystery to their hearts' content and sleep with whom they want and are given much more leeway and forgiveness when things go wrong on missions whereas i could see april both being treated by her colleagues like waverly's pet and having to overachieve at her job because of whispers behind her back; not to mention how it would barely be possible for her to manage to have a social life because you KNOW if she pulled a napoleon and got a reputation for sleeping with fellow agents she would not be treated well; AND not to mention whatever other UNCLE agents think about the nature of her and mark's relationship! like what a difficult position to be in!

So I made these only because when looking at the first graphs post, I mentioned it wasn't super clear on numbers alone exactly how the results compared on raw numbers because actually thos numbers themselves are reliant on the number of times that they were captured in the first place. So here are a batch of pie charts in order to get some individual percentages on escapes vs rescues that are more easily comparable. We can now establish once and for all which character is in fact the most distressed damsel.

These results are compiled using only successful escapes and rescues. I added the results for the character's individual escapes or rescues with those from the 'together' category, to get the full freedom experience. I also included a series total for Napoleon and Illya to get an idea of how they compare overall.

As mentioned in that first statistics post, this is largely to establish whether the accusation of April being a "damsel in distresss" is justified or not. Personally, I believe that this proves that she isn't. As we can clearly see here, not only does she escape more often than she needs rescuing, but also, both Napoleon and Illya in one season each do in fact need rescuing more than they manage to escape. Not only that, but when viewing the series total, April and Mark are actually slightly more competent in the escape department as a team than Napoleon and Illya are. Clearly more competent than fandom will have you believe.

Well, that's me finally done with these statistics posts! (Or am I? 👀) As usual, I hope you find them useful or at least interesting and I'd love to discuss any of these results with people. If you have any specific statistics that you'd like me to compile from the Girl from U.N.C.L.E. then I would be more than happy to oblige (any excuse to watch the series for the 257th time lmao) just drop me a message!
