"They worship him. Of course they do. His form was crafted to fit the values of this reality. They hold faith, and the entity chose a shape that fit the most celebrated figures of the most popular faiths."

- Interlude 26

I was thinking about Worm fancasting and i came to a conclusion. The actors need to be unknowns to make it more realistic.

Just think about it, how many found footage films break their inmersion because you see a famous actor?

I think one of Worm's strenghts is that all the charcaters feel like people, if you have them look like normal people it feels more real.

Except Scion, Scion should be played by Nicholas Cage.

In Number Man's Interlude, it's mentioned that Gesellschaft was planning to nuke Europe! That implies a massive amount of influence and other resources. My headcanon is that there's some direct tie between Gesellschaft and the Simurgh's first appearance. Obviously Europe is implied to be in even worse shape than the US overall but I have plot bunnies about a more ideologically-driven Swiss Nilbog kind of mastermind, except a Freewheel Tinker that mainly produces clockwork automata, a reflection of a very "tightly wound" yet meticulous, Stoic mental state.

Think the DCAU's Clock King except with a worldview of an outright fascist. Instead of Ellisburg, there's Kuckelheim and instead of being a contained threat, it's a barely mitigated, continental set of villainous conspiracies.

one thing i wish worm explored more was the connection between empire 88 and gesellschaft. like, the closest worm ever gets to being politically insightful is in the revelation that kaiser is this noteworthy business magnate. and then you find out that e88 has ties to a mysterious international nazi cabal . . . and then you never learn anything else about it. but gesellschaft in my mind is something like ig farben, some kind of insidious cartel whose tendrils extend even into the us government. there's something almost pynchonesque about it. the fourth reich, operation paperclip, der Raketen-Stadt. fascism has been rebranded as brockton bay's crumbling neoliberal order.

I am not an Amy Dallon apologist.

I am not even an Amy Dallon sympathizer.

I am a goddamn red-blooded Amy Dallon accelerationist!
