Marionette

director's (editor's?!) cut below the cut :)

and yes I linked the song - it fits Napoleon's character SO WELL I had to share it

I see this edit as a prequel, of sorts, to the 2015 movie. To me, this is what happened to Napoleon before he joined the CIA. However, I do also see the rest of the song as him both stealing art and having an all around good time and as him and Illya as agents in their respective agencies becoming 'marionettes' for Waverly. Lol yes I do have this edit as a prequel to the actual song itself and to canon events. But also if you listen to the song, it definitely feels like there's a cut there! (Or maybe I've just listened to it too many times.

I really liked putting together all the parts that said marionette, especially when Oleg talked about him being their most prolific agent. In the movie, it's said in the Russian instrumental case which means that they see Napoleon as an object. It really cemented the idea of him as a marionette for me. (and also the fact that he really is Sanders' marionette)

Of course, there was also the bit with "they won/ I'm done/ new one/ begun" because that is so totally him joining the CIA because they DID win !!!!! after he had to make a deal with them he really had no choice - he was done with them and with stealing art (poor baby). Also, having his upside down picture for they won was amazing work on my part lol it really seals the deal there.

Yes, I would have to say that he did do his best not getting caught, but alas, how else was he supposed to meet Illya????? (surely it was all a ploy so he could meet his future husband🤞🫡)

I think this song is really interesting and everyone should give it a listen!!
