something quick because I love these two

[azulzinharts]

Since I'm the first to draw fanart of this ship, I'll name it MasKell lol

They're old-fashioned now, I know. BUT I was re-watching The Mask episodes and felt a lot of enemies-to-lovers vibes between these two! 😍 Or maybe it's just me, I don't know, I ship Kellaway and Stanley too lol.

Anyways, I couldn't find fanart of these two, so I had to do it myself 🤔

The mask reboot (Comic accurate) fancast

[adamwatchesmovies]

The Mask (1994)

If you were born in the late ‘80s or early ‘90s, you idolized Jim Carrey at some point. In second grade, my class received an assignment to write a biography on our favorite Canadian sports athlete. I didn’t have one so I asked the teacher if I could do mine on Jim Carrey (he was born in Ontario). Four of my classmates asked the same thing. Carrey’s big break was Ace Ventura: Pet Detective but that film has aged so dreadfully its finale is unwatchable – even if you keep in mind it was made 30 years ago. A much better way to indulge your nostalgia for the comedian is to revisit Dumb and Dumber or today's movie: The Mask.

Insecure bank teller Stanley Ipkiss (Carey) finds a magical mask in the Edge City river. After putting it on, the mask transforms him into a green-faced, zoot suit-wearing extrapolation of his inner self. With his newfound powers and confidence, Ipkiss gets even with those who’ve wronged him and romances Tina Carlyle (Cameron Diaz), the beautiful singer at the exclusive Coco Bongo club. In the process, he crosses paths with gangster Dorian Tyrell (Peter Greene).   There have been several attempts to make a live-action Looney Tunes film, none as successful at bringing the series’ violent slapstick sense of humor to life as The Mask (and with Coyote vs. Acme being shelved by David Zaslav, that won't change anytime soon). Putting on the mask does more than alter Ipkiss’ appearance and give him the confidence to say and do what he’s always wanted to; it allows him to pull giant mallets out of thin air, survive explosions, re-inflate himself after being flattened, move so fast he looks like a spinning tornado, etc. Jim Carrey excels at playing loud, outlandish catchphrase-spewing characters, making this superhero origin story (the film is based on the Dark Horse comic by Mike Richardson) the perfect vehicle for him. He also fares quite well as lovable loser Stanley Ipkiss. He has great chemistry with the most memorable character in the film: Ipkiss’ dog, Milo. As far as movie pets go, there aren’t many who have as much personality as this adorable, occasionally aggressive, mischievous and deceptively smart (for a dog) Jack Russell Terrier. The pooch may not have a character arc, but its multiple gags build upon each other and Milo plays a critical part in the story.    If you expected me to name Cameron Diaz as the co-star with whom Carrey has the best rapport, I’m getting to her now. The two actors have chemistry but they don't quite sizzle like they should. Or maybe it’s that Diaz (in her film debut) is so stunning that a part of you dismisses any sparks between them – she should be with you. After donning the mask, Stanley howls like the wolf in 1943's “Red Hot Riding Hood” while he watches her perform at the Coco Bongo. You’ll be right there along with him. Seeing her, you remember the first time you saw Marilyn Monroe. All you can say is “Wow!”, which makes you all the more grateful to see that she can keep up with the dance numbers and comedic sequences. As a memorable aspect of the film, she’s got stiff competition between Carrey, the dog and the special effects but she nonetheless stands out.    The Mask is a pretty standard superhero story that’s elevated by its willingness to go all the way with its cartoon motif, the unforgettable one-liners and memorable characters. On top of everyone previously mentioned, there’s Lieutenant Mitch Kellaway (Peter Riegert), the police officer who suspects Ipkiss – even though no ordinary man could pull off the moves he pulls -, his dopey partner Detective Doyle (Jim Doughan) and several big scenes that will stick with you long after the film is gone. Partially because they are funny but also because they showcase the film’s use of music, dance and cartoon logic.    Special effects can often date a picture. Even if those are still (mostly) convincing, jokes that haven’t aged well can make you regret you ever hit "play". The Mask makes extensive use of special effects. They still hold up. When it comes to the jokes, the film does it right. There is a point where a mask-wearing Ipkiss starts turning into a Pepe Le Pew type… but the fact that he’s too much and that his overly aggressive would-be romantic gestures make Tina uncomfortable are both acknowledged and part of the gag.

I must’ve seen The Mask over a dozen times as a kid (mostly in French and on VHS) but that was years ago. I thought I only remembered the broad strokes but nearly everything came flooding back as soon as I started watching. Part of that I can attribute to repetition but also to the fact that this comedy is packed with memorable scenes, lines and characters. It holds up. (October 5, 2024)

Beneath the mask  

An analysis of the Mask comic series  

Let me ask you a question, faithful reader. Have you ever wanted to let your anger out without consequences? Allow all those spiteful feelings just flow out of you and watch your enemies squirm before delivering the final blow? What if I told you there was an artifact of unlimited reality warping power, that could allow you to go on a rampage without any repercussions? All it would cost you is your sanity... 

Very few people know the famous Fantasy movie The Mask was based on a comic book from the publisher Dark Horse Comics. In the movie, Stanley Ipkiss was a nice but timid man who used the Mask to help gain confidence. In the original comic Stanley used the mask to become an omnipotent serial killer with unstoppable cartoon physical powers. He starts compiling a list of people who have wronged him, and goes on a sadistic killing spree, in which the media dubs him The Big Head Killer.  In the split second that Stanley takes off the mask, he is shot and killed by his girlfriend Kathy who takes it for herself.  

Knowing what the Mask is capable of, Kathy takes it to the police station and hands it over to a detective named Mitch Kellaway with the warning to NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PUT IT ON!!!  

Mitch ultimately ignores her warning and becomes the second big head killer targeting drug lords and the like.  It is only after nearly killing his partner that Mitch realizes just how evil the mask really is. It has been implied that the mask itself has self-awareness to an extent. Mythology is cool, but I would much rather discuss the main theme of the story.  

The main theme is the importance of restraint. I know I am stating the obvious, but we can’t just throw morality out the window when we get agitated. The mask in the comics amplifies all your negative emotions and shuts down your common sense turning you into a grotesque parody of yourself. This great power takes away all sense of responsibility, so the most responsible action is to reject it. I know it is not the most subtle piece of entertainment but not all great works have to be subtle, and the movie serves as a great gateway into the darker material.  The Mask franchise has various options to satisfy your desires both the innocent and the perverse.  

Until next time

“Zack Snyder’s The MaskHOLY SHIT!”

-

A joke I finally made to my friend @hawkofkrypton​ on Twitter who actually knows about the comics because of that one Nostalgia Critic video. Which talks about how different the movie and comics were.

For awhile, I wanted to make this joke. It’s based upon those, “Zack Snyder’s insert a character with a gun” meme. It’s something I’m not huge on because it kind of mocks Zack. Yet there are some I found funny where it’s self aware about the joke. “Zack Snyder’s Zack Snyder” or some shit.

But yeah...this is from The Mask issue #01. The original, “Tommy Gun” scene.

I will admit...while I don’t like that The Mask is in WB hands. And I’d want Zack to do whatever the Hell he wants to do at Netflix...Zack Snyder’s The Mask sounds interesting. But I don’t know if he’s interested in it.

Edit update I forgot to say this. If it did happen, and someone complains about it. Remember the original Mask comics. Keep that in mind. I just felt this joke was perfect.

How did the boys celebrate Halloween this year?

Macaw and Lupo went to a Halloween Party held by the Dreemurrs. Lupo was dressed up as a werewolf mechanic- wolf ears and tail with an oil stained shirt and toolbelt. Macaw taped a sign on his shirt that said 'Prey'. He was a bird of prey. Smoothie was a pirate and Shake their first mate.

Later Falcon and Jackal stopped by to take the two kids trick or treating! They were.... dressed as Mafia Bosses... as their 'costumes'. With fake tommy guns.

Jay came home to see Fox and Sass dressed as a minecraft bee and creeper respectively. And they had a costume ready for him! A minecraft squid. Jay claims to have an emergency meeting all the sudden but they forced the costume onto him anyway... Ink laughed so hard he passed out and Dream was trying not to laugh to be nice... and was failing.

Hound dressed as The Mask and Cham was Milo the puppy! They convinced Crow to not dress as a Royal Guardsman- his costume since forever- and dress as Lt. Mitch Kellaway, the guy that was after The Mask.

Vulture and Hyena went out with the other Bad Sanses to terrorize and steal candy.

Robin doesn't celebrate and Dingo has no idea it was a holiday

If any of you follow me or have seen my recent reblogs. That I have been reblogging a lot of The Mask related stuff. It’s something really interested me. And I think I like to thank @kaijuguy19 for that, however it came to be. Maybe it was also because of Jim Carrey being in Ace Ventura and me looking up the cartoon of that movie...yeah, that basically.

I need to talk about this. While I don’t want to pursue making something The Mask related. It’s something I won’t put much interest in. But maybe a little something. But the lore of The Mask has seriously intrigued me. Spoilers in case.

But one point is that The Mask itself is called the mask of Loki...now this is the serious part I want to talk about.

Recently, I’ve been wondering about Norse Mythology. I need to make it clear there is an actual religion around that. And that Norse Mythology is a very serious deal to a lot of people. Which is why I heavily dislike that Disney tried to trademark the names of certain Norse Gods. Because that should never happen.

Which is why I’m very conscious of this idea I want to do. Is the idea of using Norse Mythology in this what I think will likely be called The Mask Rebirth. Which is likely a reimagining/reboot of The Mask franchise and even an adaptation. Or just...the adaptation part is weird to say. It’s my own take on the series.

I’m mainly concerned because from what I heard, people take this mythology seriously. But there’s a reason I want to include that. I’m still a noob to this series. But from what I read, it seems like The Mask comics(Maybe) didn’t really expand on more of that Norse side of things. If there’s a reason, there’s maybe a good reason, or maybe the writers just didn’t want to.

Yes, I know about Son Of The Mask, but many disown that film and I think it’s best I just leave it. I just find it intriguing that it’s called The Mask Of Loki. It gives off this idea that(Please correct me) that Loki himself is trapped within the mask maybe...or it’s another way around it. Such as the movie saying it was a creation from Loki.

I want to reveal this part. Because these are the plans. Because my take seems to be combining elements of not only the comics, but even the 1994 film, and it’s cartoon. Including expanding on that lore possibly.

The idea in development is that after the events of Ragnarok(Not the MCU’s bullshit or whatever), after the deaths of many gods and goddesses. In this universe, some of those gods and goddesses souls possibly have been concealed in certain artifacts. One of them being The Mask Of Loki, the most well known.

All of these artifacts, whether they are masks or whatever else, contain the spirits of certain gods and goddesses.

As of now, here are possibly the confirmed ones.

Owen Heffernan: The Mask Of Loki/Big Head. Loki The God Of Mischief.

Dorian Tyrell: The Mask Of Fenrir. The giant wolf and son of Loki.

Originally, the idea was to have Dorian to have some form of artifact related to Hel. But after maybe last night or mainly today. It was decided that Fenrir would the one where he gets his powers from.

Tina Carlyle: Possibly a mask of Angrbooa. One of the wives of Loki, a giantess, and the mother of Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Hel. The mother of monsters.

Originally like Dorian, Tina was supposed to have maybe an artifact related to Hel maybe. But I wanted to do research into the...mother of Loki’s children.

In all seriousness, it was last night that I recall, and today I wanted to research some Norse Mythology. But it’s such a huge thing, and...I sound stupid saying that.

It seems like I am more interested in using Loki’s children as characters. There is also the idea of Mitch Kellaway having an artifact related to either Baldur or Thor. It all depends on what I’ll do. Or even possibly Heimdall.

I just felt like from what I know, the comics didn’t seem to explore this Norse aspect. I felt like it be cool to expand something like that. Including that I wanted to look into Norse mythology and respect that. While it seems like a weird aftermath of the Ragnarok event. Where these ancient beings did exist, and now they are stuck in these artifacts, and some having to deal with a wear they may like or not. Yet giving them powers beyond their limits.

Again, I think it was because of the events with Disney that made me worry. I am an Agnostic man mainly. And the Norse mythology has interested me. But it’s something I’m weary of touching. Yet...this is practically fan fiction. I’m not gonna do anything serious with it. 

I’m thinking the reason the writers(Unless I’m wrong) didn’t do such a thing because The Mask comics wasn’t meant to have...intriguing lore. But I sound stupid. I’m sounding like a noob. I need to read more comics.

There, I revealed that. I hope you folks are interested.
