Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)

[gean-grey-blog]

Preston Whitmore has such queer reading potential. Meets Thaddius Thatch at Georgetown, a school with a significant queer history. They become best friends instantly, support each other's dreams and special interests, make a bet to kiss and follow through on it. After 49 years together, Thaddeus passes of old age. At which point Preston reaches out to Thaddeus's nerdy bi twink grandson who reminds him of Thaddeus and essentially adopts him.

Lieutenant Helga Sinclair Comprehensive Combat Studies/Timeline

It’s difficult to say when Helga began professional combat training. It is documented that at some point during her youth she was encouraged to learn the art of combat by her father, U.S. Army Major Alexander Sinclair, as well as her five brothers after Helga declined her mother’s suggestion to pursue dance. At the age of 17 (approx. 1894) she met Commander Lyle Rourke while stationed in Maryland. After time spent at Yongsan (1894-1897) and Aberdeen Proving Ground (1897-1901), Helga traveled to Fort Dix sometime between 1901-1902 with the support of her father. It was at this time that she began to learn both the use of firearms as well as military tactics under Commander Rourke’s instruction. Rourke was impressed with Helga’s skills (& her potential to become a covert agent/spy), and he therefore took her with him on tour as a training assistant between late 1902-early 1903. Later in 1903 Helga accompanied Rourke on an expedition to Egypt as an intelligence officer, parting ways with him in August of that year to continue her training (possibly at Fort Dix or elsewhere). In 1904 Helga appears to have left on an unspecified expedition this time to San Domingo, but thereafter she made her way to the Philippines. During her stay in the then-U.S. colony she underwent the most substantial part of her close quarters combat training by studying under the founder of aikido, Moreihei Ueshiba, from 1904-1907. By the time Helga entered the employ of Preston B. Whitmore on December 5, 1911 as a personal bodyguard & chauffer, she was a proficient master in the art of several combat styles & techniques, encompassing close range to longer distance forms of fighting.

Tutelage under Moreihei Ueshiba:

During the period 1904-1907 Helga trained extensively in aikido as a student of Ōsensei Moreihei Ueshiba. Ueshiba himself served in the Imperial Japanese Army during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 and was only discharged in 1907. This is where history & Atlantis’s lore diverge as historically Ueshiba traveled to Hokkaido after he left the army, staying there until 1919-while Helga already made her journey to the Philippines in 1904. We can thus assume that in Atlantis’s timeline he instead began to develop his style somewhat before and alongside his move to the Philippines instead in 1904, where he presumably opened a school and began to teach students in the ways of his new martial art. As Helga studied with Ueshiba in the early years of aikido she would have had access to a curriculum more focused on lethal strikes to vital points, as well as a greater emphasis on the use of weapons. It was only later that her teacher would come to develop aikido into an art less focused on martial techniques and more on spiritual self-improvement, and more practically the ability to subdue an opponent in ways that used that attacker’s strength/momentum against them.

Helga reached the rank of Yudansha-Yodan, or “4th Dan Black Belt,” by the end of her studies (Yudansha signifying the holder of a Dan grade [black belt], and Yodan indicating the 4th Dan level). By 1907 she had mastered several disciplines under the aikido umbrella, most prominently Henka Waza, Tanto Dori, and Tachi Dori.

Henka Waza:

Henka Waza (shift technique) is considered to be a more advanced skill focusing on switching between techniques in the middle of your move. This can be done as an adaptation to circumstances or simply if your opponent resists your initial technique. It is in all cases of its use intended to be a motivated shift.

Tanto Dori:

Tanto Dori (knife defense) is a technique which placed emphasis on defense against an opponent wielding a knife. The key point of this skill is to minimize the amount of harm done to the defender in the midst of both deflecting and controlling a knife attack. Body movement and leverage are often employed to redirect the opponent’s knife, as opposed to gripping or directly blocking it.

Tachi Dori:

Tachi Dori (sword taking) is a skill in which its practitioner is intended to disarm an opponent wielding a sword. This is again intended to be done with the bare hands as in Tanto Dori. This is a difficult technique, given that the uke, or sword holder, uses a two-handed grip which can be very firm and hard to dislodge.

Weapons:

As a result of her training between the 1890s to the early 1900s Helga mastered a wide array of close quarters weapons across multiple fighting disciplines including: the Colt throwing knife, bo staff, kama, field tanto, and the katana. It is also known that Helga was taught savage, tactical combat knife fighting somewhere in this same timeframe.

At the conclusion of her tutelage in the Philippines in 1907, Helga returned to the United States. It can be reasonably inferred that she continued to improve and build upon her skills in the period leading up to her employment by Whitmore Industries at the age of 34. One of Helga’s greatest achievements in physical combat is recorded in her file, in which she is stated to have bested Commander Lyle Rourke in unarmed combat-only one of three people to have ever done so. The circumstances surrounding this contest are unknown and so it is tough to make any clear analysis of her performance and application of the disciplines she had learned. Regardless, this fight between Lieutenant Sinclair and Commander Rourke remains clear evidence that the former had by that point become a formidable fighter in her own right. By the time the Atlantis Expedition got underway in 1914 Helga had over two decades of combat training and practical experience under her belt-proficient in multiple styles, techniques, and the use of an impressive assortment of both western and eastern weapons. She was a deadly, capable operative molded into exactly the kind of enforcer Commander Rourke needed her to be. Her abilities would end up being put to the ultimate test when Rourke betrayed her at the end of the Atlantean expedition where Helga was forced to engage him in a desperate fight to the death.

Unfortunately, her mentor revealed himself to still be far more capable than his student in a death match, and despite a spirited effort by the Lieutenant he ultimately defeated her, leading to her fiery demise.

Given that Helga was continually improving her skill set throughout the entirety of her life it’s possible she could potentially have at least achieved parity with Rourke in this kind of fight had she survived the expedition and into older age. This remains speculation, but what we can say is this: Helga Sinclair distinguished herself as a remarkable martial artist through the length and breadth of her career, and her mastery of such an assortment of fighting techniques speaks volumes to the discipline and dedication she carried herself with in life. Though her physical prowess was utilized in the service of less than savory causes, it was almost always used in the defense of those she cared about/those under her command until given no other choice. If Moreihei Ueshiba could have seen what became of his pupil, I think he at least would have taken solace in that.

A bulletin board in Camp Discovery in Adventure Isle at Shanghai Disneyland includes information on Preston B. Whitmore, Whitmore Industries, and the lost Milo expedition.

As the text isn't entirely viewable here I will look into whether it would be possible to acquire better copies.

Here’s close ups on some of the board details.

First pic - features Atlantis reference with Milo missing and Whitmore’s financing of the LoA. Also introduces us to a major recurring League character, the engineer Cooter Carter.

Second pic - Encapsulates the sheer ridiculousness of the League with one of their dog explorers testing out a submersible. I love it! Note also the submersible is of Cooter Carter’s design.

Third - Great vintage style magazine depicting a LoA submersible - there’s also one featuring an airship.

Fourth - Assorted Expedition Everest ties. Note the yeti photo. There’s also a news clipping mentioning the time frame and that the project on Everest was not related to what we actually do on the ride.

Fifth - The best shot I have of the newspaper page (The cage makes it hard to get a closer shot head on). Left side is the headline about the Hollywood Tower Hotel incident, pretty much describing the backstory we get from the TV. The right side article gives a humorous anecdote about the League helping discover the temple and Indy basically shutting them down and chasing them out after they prove unprepared for the dangers. Also talks about them driving through the temple, obviously referring to the ride. Photo is of the League team in the Indy queue.

Please note there are other boards as well, with many more details not pictured here, as the boards are in the queue for the ropes course which does not allow cameras or phones. There is a profile of all League members there as well as another newspaper referring to the Anaheim Haunted Mansion, so that’s oddly a thing.

Some thoughts on Helga’s pistol in Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

Helga’s sidearm of choice is the Mauser C96, also known as the Broomhandle/Broomhandle Mauser. It was developed in 1893-1895 and began manufacturing in 1896. However, it was only made available in American markets in 1901. This was made possible by a German-American firm in New York named Von Lengerke & Detmold, with the first ads for the pistol showing up in January 1902. Helga was still traveling internationally between 1889-1901, and only started her instruction in tactics and firearms training under Lyle Rourke upon her relocation to Fort Dix sometime between 1901 and 1903. We can assume that she either would’ve been able to purchase a model or else received one during this timeframe in the early 1900s. This is the period when she became a permanent business partner to Rourke & later found herself under the employ of Preston B. Whitmore in December 1911.

The Mauser C96 is a fitting selection for Helga due to its connection to her childhood upbringing in Germany between 1877-1892. The weapon showcases how her youth and her later years spent becoming a competent fighter fuse together to form a shared intrinsic part of her identity. There is also the cinematic tendency of giving villains German firearms, but from a purely character-driven perspective & given its period-appropriate nature, it solidly complements who Helga is.

As an aside, The Mauser C96 did not historically have a detachable magazine until the later part of World War I, in contrast to how this feature is depicted as having already existed in 1914 in the film. This can be hand waved as part of the “alternate reality” setting of the story but it’s worth noting all the same.

Super fun commission I did for @incurablenecromantic based on this ficlet she did based on her Damn Fool Expeditions: the story where the gays olds from Atlantis: The Lost Empire are young and adventurous and totally not going to be sad olds cause they’re too busy having fun and being spry.
