Murder Mystery 2 (12): Glass Onion-lite with Sandler and Aniston.

#onemannsmovies review of "Murder Mystery 2" (2023). #MurderMystery2. An undemanding #netflix comedy with a few laughs to be found. 3/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Murder Mystery 2” (2023). I must admit I never saw the original “Murder Mystery” from 2019: it requires a certain amount of willpower from me to sit and watch an Adam Sandler comedy. But here comes the sequel, imaginatively called “Murder Mystery 2” (even though there isn’t a mystery involving a murder!). The movie is currently streaming on Netflix. Bob the Movie…

What if I'm the monster? What if I'm in the wrong? What if I'm the problem that's been hiding all along?

I got "Monster" from Epic: the Musical stuck in my head and couldn't rest until I made this. I tried something new with the way I did her hair, and I'm not sure how I feel about the gold streaks, but at least it fits this piece.

Laurel crown from AIO Photos, everything else by me.

The yanderes seem to be very gullible. Like shockingly willing to buy into BS. Why is this? Is there a reason? And would they be interested investing in my once in a lifetime business opportunity? They get to be their own boss and work from home, (providing additional time with their beloved), and earn additional income. There’s only a small start up fee, and they can immediately start making money. Of course, if they find other like minded individuals and they join the business, there are additional bonus’s. They can’t miss this opportunity!

There are two reasons for yanderes to be willing to run Enrique's trap gauntlet! 1. All yanderes believe they are main characters so they can't die in the training arc; 2. Common sense is a truly rare treasure in the yandere world. They could get common sense from any normal person but they only value the advice of a superior yandere.

There's also selection bias here. The more stable yanderes did not agree to run the traps. So yes, it might be worth trying your scam in the yandere building. People who believe they're smarter than everyone else make the best scam targets.

I just came to remember The Grays from Netflix ig??? while I was taking a bath after work and I was like

Like I know maybe not many people are talking about it now but I haven't complained about anything today and since I can't be happy, here I go. Because oh boy, I have A LOT of things to say about this

Starting with the modern environment. I know, the story could work in a modern environment because of the context of the whole story and it's meaning. But I can't help but think in a more superficial way (which I KNOW they are) the portrait itself doesn't work... Internet filters, Photoshop, PLASTIC SURGERY IDK. There, problem solved. I'm just saying incoherent stuff at this point bc I want to complain about something. But going to the thing that actually matters...

Dorian's and Basil RELATIONSHIP. Who tf told them it was a good idea to make them siblings??? SIBLINGS.

They're ruining their complete relationship, Basil's whole character arc. They're changing it completely and I don't like it. His own thoughts about Sybil Vane. There was a scene in the book that broke me, where Dorian, Henry and Basil are on their way to the theater and the absolute heartbreak that was reading to Basil's thoughts alone during the whole ride, it's something I won't have. THE LOVE CONFESSION.

That is such an important piece of the story, it's indicative for Dorian that he has power over Basil. Of course, that was also changed in that weird movie back in 2009 (the only piece of cinema I've seen because I cannot find the others 😞) but at least personally I liked the kiss part, idk.

I just DON'T LIKE WHAT THEY'RE DOING

And like, 2 things came to my mind, one more possible than the other

1. They're gonna do really weird stuff

2. The most probable one, they are literally changing things so much that at this point it won't be The Picture of Dorian Gray, it will be just a random story with their names on it (except for Basil my poor baby doesn't deserve this)

And last but not least... Henry. What are they going to do with him, what are their plans? I am not really informed what the whole thing is going to be, but I don't know what's going to be with Henry. Modern environment, knowing how Henry is the minimum thing he would say and he would be absolutely BLASTED in social media, cancelled on Twitter and all /j

Or, just my thoughts I really don't know, but seeing how things are going they could change his character so much he wouldn't be Henry Wotton and would be more like Enrique Waton

Anyways, I finished rambling now, imma disappear for another fifty centuries

(reposting this with better quality images)

scenes from story arc 39, "Idaho George," in the long-running British comic strip Modesty Blaise, written by Peter O' Donnell and drawn by Enrique Badía Romero

in which our normally gorgeous heroine Modesty is imprisoned in a jail cell, takes a door to the face while trying to escape, then gets beaten up by her captors, leaving her with a very bruised face and one eye swollen shut

and then has her boots removed when she gets tossed into the ocean to drown, so our barefoot heroine has to cut her bonds with a knife while holding her breath underwater and gauging the work with only one working eye

god, look at just how absolutely fucked over her face is

love that for her

[the-gateway-to-madness]

making a post just to use these gorgeous runners i requested from @thecutestgrotto because they look so good in dark mode i actually gasped out loud

go look at their lil post runners they're flawless gorgeous no notes

anyway because I'm excited- here's a peek at the first chapter of the season 2 arc of Trollhunters from For The Good of All!! Before it's finished!

Cara clawed her way upwards to a small ledge, crouching and looking down at the cradles. She’d seen NotEnrique’s human disguise; she just had to sort through every baby in the place and-

She froze, holding perfectly still as she spotted a goblin scuttling down the wall maybe ten feet away.

Her throat felt dry, her muscles suddenly felt cramped, but Cara couldn’t move. She couldn’t give in to the unbearable need to relieve her dry mouth, to breathe too much, to shift off her now-agonizingly-scrunched legs. Her armor would make too much noise- swallowing would be too loud, in the quiet of this corner of the cavern. 

The goblin crawled on, and soon Cara couldn’t hear it. With that, she sucked in a slow, shaky breath and moved enough to relieve the pain in her legs before checking for Enrique again- there.

There he was, a sweet, sleepy bundle, innocent, precious, a light in the dark. He was safe, unharmed. Thank Gaylen.

Cara sucked in another breath before carefully crawling over the edge of her perch again, reaching out to one of the dangling cradles and climbing aboard, carefully swinging it just enough to leap to the next. She moved quickly, deftly, trying to move with catlike lightness despite being covered in metal plating and watching for goblins.

As she reached Enrique, she dropped down and clung to the bottom of the cradle, spotting a goblin climbing across her line of sight. Her eyes watched it carefully, and then she glanced around as it disappeared. Slowly, painstakingly, she climbed up to double-check. 

Yes, that was definitely Enrique; even fast asleep, there was an inexplicable sort of joy in his little infant features.

Somehow, the sight of such a pure little being, surrounded by darkness and chasms and her own pain, made Cara tear up a little. Very carefully, she took the spare blankets and tied them securely around her in a makeshift baby wrap before picking up Enrique and tucking him in, hearing his relaxed little breaths faintly.

With that, Cara swung from the now-empty cradle and began making her slow way back to the others, pausing to brace Enrique now and then and make sure he stayed asleep.

[soul-dwelling]

Do you think that there seems to be a disconnect between charachters introduced before and after the soul eater anime ended? Like everyone loves Giriko, but does anybody care about Gopher, or the moon clowns? Or even thee death scythes that were shoved in at the end?

(Spoilers for Soul Eater and Fire Force. Content warnings for mentions of rape and grooming.)

Me. I care about those characters! 

…Sort of.

Maybe.

...I care about those characters about as much as I do about any other characters. 

Except the Moon Whaler hunters. I appreciate what someone else (Soul Eater Post?) wrote about how that arc is to parallel the hunt for Crona and whether Maka has it in her to potentially have to kill them. But it is such a needless side adventure and so late in the story to start exploring just how different this world is than our own--and a side adventure that leaves a bad taste in my mouth not only given the controversies around whale hunting but also because it is one of the few things explained in Fire Force and once again makes the world building less interesting. 

And maybe I’m not that interested in Gen, or, rather, the version of Gen in the manga. Having a tech expert in the cast should be entertaining--but it's a little late to start doing the worldbuilding now about the tech in this world. It comes across like it is obligatory: the anime already had Buttataki in the same role, I guess the manga now needs its version, too.

And we include Gen just for a weird “H-beam is like 'ecchi'” pun is dull. The better option would have been for the H-beam to be his weapon partner (and a friend and I have already worked on such a character)--more unconventional weapons would have been a more entertaining bit of worldbuilding. But if the manga could not bother to lend more personality to the final Death Scythes we meet in the manga, what hope would this H-beam ever have? 

The first anime concluded on March 30, 2009. I don’t know which chapter came out right before that final episode, but by March 21, 2009, Volume 14 was published, collecting Chapters 53 to 57. I’m guessing by this point manga characters introduced before the anime ended and who didn’t appear in the first anime included Tezca and Enrique--who are probably the last characters ever in the manga who had any meaningful impact on the story, Tezca more so, not only because of his interactions with Justin in the manga but also because he has such a broad, loud, memorable personality and design. Compared to Gopher (who I will defend in a moment), the Moon Clowns (who I can’t really defend--more on that in a moment), and the remaining Death Scythes and their meisters (more on them in a moment), Tezca is just heads and shoulders above them (until Justin cut off his head). Maybe this is why Tezca was the only one to leave an impression in Soul Eater NOT, whether showing up to scare the main trio in the manga, or as a keychain in the anime. 

(There is also Noah in Volume 14, but we already saw his design in the Monotone Princess video game as Grimoire, so that is a technicality.) 

The problem I’m having is that I didn’t get into Soul Eater until the manga was in its final chapters and only when the anime started airing on Toonami, so as a late participant in the fandom, there wasn’t much of a reason for me to feel disconnected from characters introduced after the anime ended. I pretty much treated anyone who was in the main manga and NOT as a Soul Eater character, all with the potential to lead their own story. It's just that some characters are easier to write for than others, not for any reason except that some are given more personality to work from than others.

As time goes on, I do prefer the anime more and more over the manga, so perhaps I have a bias towards characters who were in the anime but not in the manga--because I think, had the Studio BONES first anime had more time, more episodes, and diverged more wildly from the manga, we could have had those late additions to the manga get adapted in better or at least in surprising and expected ways that could have improved upon what didn’t work in the manga and could work better in adaptation. Imagine if we had Tezca as an actual character in the first anime: I think he could have been a second Excalibur, for good or bad. Imagine if the story was re-worked to give Pushkin some bigger relevance in the anime. What kind of fight could you stage if the Clowns had a larger role in the story, not as Asura's lackeys but as the actual leaders of some new threat for the next season?

This includes the later Death Scythes and their meisters, who have little to no personality and could have benefited from inclusion in the anime, just to make them into more fully realized characters. That’s an excellent opportunity for headcanon and fanfiction, but when the original manga doesn’t give you enough to work with, it also means that the portrayals of those new characters can go in infinite directions such that it is difficult to get to core details of those characters that are consistent across all iterations in fanworks.

In other words, we have numerous versions of Batman but which mostly have the same core details and principles (Adam West Batman is not Michael Keaton Batman is not Kevin Conroy Batman is not Diedrich Bader Batman--but they have more in common than different), whereas there is so little in the manga to understand Alexandre, Zubaidah, and others to make them feel like realized characters who can thrive in fan works.

And it is such a galling disappointment, not only because they are characters who add diversity and inclusion to the story, but because the manga and the anime had its chance to expand on those characters in Soul Eater NOT--and just didn’t. Djinn and Dinga appear in the NOT manga--only so they can stare down Shaula and not do anything while Tsugumi and the others take down the witch. They don’t even appear in the NOT anime. None of them got cameos at the end of Fire Force because Ohkubo was so desperate for attention that he substituted good storytelling with fanservice by way of “Soul Eater Babies” instead of making any meaningful connection between the world Shinra created and how we got to these adult characters who didn’t get much spotlight otherwise in the fandom. (Granted, I also can go on my rant again that Fire Force and Soul Eater being in the same timeline already doesn't make sense because Spirit Albarn shows up both in Fire Force's Japan and then 800+ years later in Soul Eater's Death City...It's almost as if the timeline fails on its own...)

As for Gopher: he has potential, and it was under-utilized. Not everything is going to be as memorable and impactful (albeit obviously problematic and unfortunately also badly done in other areas) like Chainsaw Man when it comes to imagery that seems evocative of grooming and cycles of abuse and rebirth. But Gopher did seem one-note, hence why his ending was also one-note, where he gets to leave with additional flavors of Noah…that opens up more questions than I want to address right now about how this basically reverses the power dynamic in which it is now Gopher possessing Noah for his own satisfaction rather than Noah using Gopher either as his lackey or his punching bag. 

The Moon Clowns? Memorable designs, just cannon fodder for fights. They are the equivalent of film-only characters like the villains in a My Hero Academia movie. Their designs are already outclassed by Compress in My Hero Academia. Kaguya has potential but seems more like a prototype for Tamaki in Fire Force in a different direction. Not to encourage fanservice-bait, but less you’re going to use Kaguya in a surprising way in terms of personality or commentary on sexual puritanism or bodily autonomy or just acknowledging that some people are flirts, the most I could imagine is having her face off against Blair--which would just be a repeat of Blair’s fights against Mizune and the Succubus. 

Finally, about Giriko: …Eh, I don’t love his last arc. 

Giriko’s final arc becomes an extended attempt to rape Maka, thereby prompting Soul to intervene to save her, inspired in part by the shoe-horned but not unwelcomed story beat of Maka’s self-doubts that have been with her since the first time she encountered the Clown but which does seem awkwardly forced into the story by introducing the “love letters” / meister invitations to Soul. It is not as if Maka’s arc was not always there, and it’s not as if waiting until this arc to finally address it is bad--but the seams of the narrative stitching are showing. And it all depends on the Mark Millar school of “you know the villain is bad because he wants to rape someone,” which is cliche and, worse than that, a gross failure to actually talk seriously about rape, living after rape, the fact that a rapist is just as likely someone who isn’t a mustache-twirling villain or a Giriko-level obviously bad guy but a toxic "nice guy." 

There is almost something there with Giriko having nothing left to live for after Arachne is dead and confirmed gone forever. But there’s no moment of something haunting there. He is fighting against Soul; Soul has Arachne’s witch soul in him now. Unless I’m forgetting something, it’s not as if we get a scene of Giriko promising he will slice Soul in half and pull Arachne’s soul out of him. That would never bring Arachne back--but it would be symbolic and a quick shorthand to the audience about what Giriko is actually getting at, and it would be a hell of a lot more interesting than, “Giriko wants to get off on sex and power fantasies by raping Maka.” It would remind us that Arachne was a part of all of this. You could even have an excuse to give Giriko a scene, however unearned it is, of him dying and imagining a reunion with Arachne, to show how this toxic loyalty contributed to the bloodlust that ended his life.
