“he was mentally ill. this monster was a- was a sick fantasy. a product of his dementia.”

“…i saw it too. does that make me disturbed? demented? does… that make me sick too?”

One of the greatest lessons I've ever learned from MST3k is that people will always find a way to make art.

Is it always art I want to see? No. is it art I personally consider good? No. Is it something I would even personally call art? Nope.

But here's what MST3k made clear: There are so many fucking movies that exist because they MATTER to someone. Sometimes only ONE someone, but they cared so fucking much, a piece of art exists.

Is Monster A Go-Go good? Not from any way you could measure it. But is it art made by someone who loved what they were doing? YES. To the point that the script got re-written when after years of trying to finish it, a star went bald, and the writers went, "Okay, well now you're your own brother."

Eraserhead, a b-movie classic, was created on a similar timeframe.

But David Lynch is a fucking master of weird and confusing, and the team behind A Go-Go were not.

But at the end of the day, there's still a movie, goddamnit.

And there are so many "bad" movies that exist because they were made by people who simply loved their art. Ed Wood couldn't cut anything he ever filmed because he loved all that film. Bert I. Gordon had no budget but made his special effects interesting and fun. Russ Meyer loved titties, and he fucking delivered on titties.

Are any of these works a masterclass in film making? No. But a masterclass in love and devotion? Yes.

And, truly, MST3k falls under the same umbrella. A cheap, weird little show that has maintained and grown while keeping its overall sensibility. A love letter to bad movies by ribbing them to a level they deserve. By loving them so much they can't stop ribbing them.

MST3k taught me more about loving art than so many of the things that were meant to teach me about loving art.

Okay, so, making a re-watch of Trigun Stampede, and knowing Kenji Muto (Director) and Yoshihiro Watanabe (Producer) said something about the anime being an experiencie, and not wanting to make the characters say and explain everything (thus they want us reading between the lines), I noticed a stupid thing that I LOVED (probably someone already pointed it out but whatever).

This part where Meryl and Roberto split up from Vash, and he said to Wolfwood they were not friends, hurt a lot and left me very sad.

At first, I was disappointed. However, getting to know Vash more, I began to understand him. He always tries to distance himself from humans, even though he loves them so much, because they always end up getting hurt in some way as a result of his presence. So, yes, I understood why he said that. He was drawing a line. “If I don’t call them friends, they can’t get hurt”. Plus the fact that he’s 150 years old, so he probably sees these things with very different lens.

BUT. This part here. In episode 9, when Vash asks "about the others well fare" after the incident.

She calls them “his friends”.

At first, he is confused, because, as I said, he draws such a strict line in his mind, he can’t actually recognize them as such, at least consciously.

BUT HE DOESN’T DENY IT THIS TIME. AND HE SMILES WITH SOFTNESS IN HIS EYES.

I know what you did here, Studio Orange. I know it was intentional, these two conversations about friends. They are connected.

I love my poor depressed boy Vash so much and I want him to be happy.

mmmm okay but having Amy just barely having her heart start beating moments before she was killed (and her clear JOY at that) will forever be one of the most heartbreakingly cruel things ever. the writers knew what they were doing with that. hurting me right in the feels
