Shinji Aoyama

- Chinpira / Two Punks

1996

The scene in Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Eyes of the Spider" (1998), in which Dankan accosts Sho Aokawa, a man who doesn't know/recognise him, on an outdoor bench, and half pettily, half coercively begs Aokawa to work for him, is supposed to be a tacitly tribute to a similar scene between Dankan and Takao Osawa at the end of Shinji Aoyama's film "Two Punks" (1996).

Aoyama used to be a college student and worked as an assistant director to Kurosawa.

Nex Benedict was an Indigenous, Two Spirit, Trans teenager who was murdered by three other students who attacked them in a school bathroom.

This is what we fight for, this is what we march for, this is what we have Pride for.

Because of the Anti-Trans hate and violence that is continuously being spewed.

Nex was a TEENAGER! WHO WAS BEATEN TO DEATH!

You say protect the children well NEX WAS A CHILD! WHERE WAS THEIR PROTECTION?

Nex I am so sorry, I'm so sorry this was done to you, you deserved to live a life full of love and joy. 💛💜🖤

Say his name, and never forget them.

Nex Benedict.

BANNED IN D.C. 💥

[id: It's a drawing of Hobie and Gwen playing the guitar and drums respectively. Gwen has one arm raised above her head and the other about to hit the high hat cymbal. Hobie is leaning toward the front of the frame with his guitar. Gwen wears a black shirt and brown shorts—though the colors are hard to tell as she is highlighted in pink—while Hobie wears his spider outfit and signature leather jacket. The two are singing, 'WHY? I'M BANNED IN DC!" written above their heads. Marshall amps are visible behind Gwen, along with cutout letters writing "SPIDERS", and the background is cast in blue. /end id]

Thinking about the way noir and Hobie were most likely treated because of how they look and being severely underestimated because of it.

Hobie looks and acts like a punk. He is just unserious enough to not be taken seriously. The dude is smart enough to recreate a dimension jumping watch from scraps, that people WATCH him steal and go “ugh sorry about that, he’s always like that”. And they treat him like an instigative child. Meanwhile this man is staging an interdimensional coup and is essentially a rebel freedom fighter in his own world. He is incredibly strategic and a genius while also being kind and sticking to his guns. And as a reminder, without knowing Miles or how his powers worked for even two minutes he was able to accurately help him improve his abilities! Man is observant and a quick thinker! But he’s quiet about it!

Noir dresses and sounds like an ‘oldtimer’ bc he’s from the 1930s. People probably went “ah yes grandpa” with the assumption of a mild mannered, old, and jaded private eye. Probably thought of as behind the times and not as intelligent because of lack of experience with technology. But overall first impression was of a sensible hardworking guy, and at worst melodramatic. In reality, dude is more than mildly neurotic, has severe anger issues, and prone to getting into fights. A raised socialist activist, who has very little to lose, and has canonically burned down the Statue of Liberty, shockingly he is a bit of a wildcard. And more than likely got kicked off/quit the ‘elite strike force’ for those reasons. But he’s also resourceful, smart, and quick to adapt.

Both of these characters are going to be a force to be reckoned with when they get together. Very much house on fire that burns down the entire neighborhood type relationship. I’m very excited.
