#lung (parahumans)

[snazzycrown]

This is a redraw of something I made a long while ago but never posted. This image lives rent free in my head, now it’s in yours too.

My take on the ABB's whole thing is that Lung, in addition to his own personal neuroses, was simply copying and adapting an already successful business model of E88.

[drowntheminspiders]

Both Shadow stalker and Lung are showing how taylor has earned their respects in the funnyest way possible. like. "welp. she's gonna die. i know she kicked my ass in various different ways but i might as well give her something she can do after death". and both of them just. feel like they owe her despite them being in the situation because of taylor. not even a hint of 'this is all your fault' when they think theyre about to die/have the ability to die.

I have to assume Lung's dick grew back, but it is funny that it never comes up. Like, of course it doesn't, Taylor wasnt going to ask, but still.

Flutters Routine

Originally she was very self conscious about her teeth, they wouldn’t let her have a mask that covered all of her face.

I love taylor worm

haven't posted that much worm art recently- been in a bit of a slump- so here! Lung vs one of Rachels dogs, nebulously taking place when Taylor first meets the undersiders.

not my most polished peice but I was more focused on having fun with the shading, drawing cool monsters, and hurting my hands (as always)

Taylor vs. Lung

Actually super enjoyed drawing all his tattoos! Experimented with a new shading style I'm pretty proud of too, I hope you like it!

So I was rereading the Lung interlude, and it really is astounding the extent to which the behavior and mindset on display in the interlude matches perfectly to the largely unremarked-upon idiosyncrasies he displays earlier in the book when he's less of a character and more of an obstacle (the disconnect between his ambition and his overwhelming firepower, his extremely specific vulnerability to drugs, his weird pan-asian gangbuilding project, a couple other beats that jumped out at me that I now forget.)

This, coupled with the fact that the Lung interlude is kind of a very tertiary addition to the flow of the action in the main story, is the kind of thing where I find myself wondering whether this is a situation where Wildbow had an entire Lung Dossier sitting somewhere on a hard drive and was just waiting for the slightest excuse to deploy that information in an interlude, or a situation where he decided to go back and retroactively flesh out a tertiary antagonist, or what.

What did you think of the first phase of the WCU?

Hmmm, you know what. I'm reviewing it.

First of all Dragon from 2008, the movie that started it all.

I liked:

●Seeing her origin, how newfoundland fell and her sheer sense of powerlessness before triggering.

●The evolution from her first crude suit to a more regined dragon armor.

●I liked RDJ as Collin, i was very happed they picked up his stinger for the sequel.

●Teacher was a pretty good villain, hapoy they didn't kill him off.

What i didn't like:

●Gwynnet Paltrow's character was unnecesary, why would dragon need a secretary???

●It doesn't get how to make you feel stakes when the protag is an IA

●Terrence Howard as Rennick is just there, and how they changed the actor in the next film left a sour taste.

7/10

Then you have Lung: Dragon of Kyushu.

What can i say that hasn't been said yet? I was skeptic for them reimagining Lung as a hero but it just works.

I like how it set up Leviathan as the overarching villain of the phase, i like how it has that runaway vibe with Kenta running from the Yangban.

The CGI of his fight against Seven was pasable, and the post credit scene with Zero planning to hunt him down went nowhere. But idc, it was overall pretty good. 9/10

I would have killed for another Lung movie.

The ugly duckling of Phase 1, Dragon 2.

I honestly liked it more than the first one, Saint and the dragon slayers are an actual threat that works.

Dragons own issues with her nature are explored in a neat way.

I liked the teacher plot twist at the end, that he had been manipulating saint.

And please tell me the scene of Dragon and Armsmaster killing the Dragonslayers didn't fuck.

8/10, fun watch.

Theo my beloved. Golem fucked so much man.

A coming of age story about a young man leaving his nazi family behind.

It kind of gets completely interrumpted by the Slaughterhouse nine tbh.

Like i get you are building up a cinematic universe but having some guy show up, say "i will come back on a couple years and kill everybody and thats on you" and fuck off wasn't terribly great.

But the final fight against Hookwolf as a middlepoint between the nazi family subplot and the slaughterhouse 9 subplot worked.

6/10

I don't like flashback movies in big cinematic universes. Sometimes they feel like they don't mean a thing on the long term because most characters are dead so they won't affect that comes later.

Miss Millitia: the first ward shutted me up.

Hanah is a fucking great protagonist, all of the first wards are great.

I loved her bromance with mouse protector, i cried when she died.

What the fuck is Hugo Weaving playing Allfather????

Overall i feel like this is the best out of the Phase.

10/10

It all came to it. Protectorate from 2012.

Leviathan was pretty built up from Lung and Dragon so it felt like it worked. Jack felt pretty tacked on tbh.

I like how it sets up Scion as this cameo total force of good that can't affect the plot. Wonder what they will do with him.

I didn't like that Collin set a fucking nuke towards new york. I hope there are consecuences for this in the future.

Liked how director Armstrong got to assemble the tram through the movies.

I don't know how to feel about Blue Flechette, apparently her first costume in the comics was like that? Idk.

Scarlett Johansen as Queen aka Emily Piggot from the PRT was cool.

Honestly that what Protectorate is. Cool.

Even if that bastard Jack escaped at the end of the movie.

8/10

Worm being published between 2011 and 2013 means it has a lot of dated elements that have otherwise gone unaddressed by the wider fandom. Most notably, Contessa’s fedora,
