(Long Rant Ahead) Remember This about Brain:

Spin-off Brain wanted to take over the world to make it a better place for all because he knew the people currently in charge were doing an awful job.

Reboot Brain wanted to control the world so that he could never be hurt again. If he wanted to make the world a better place, he wouldn't have pulled most of the shit he did in the reboot, including but not limited to:

(Mega hot-take below the list)

Throwing Pinky under the bus in order to save himself (Pinko and the Brain)

Implying he'd use children to build weapons of war (Mousechurian Candidate)

Fantasizing about almost killing world leaders to gain control of their countries (Happy Narfday)

Literally stripping someone of their autonomy and abusing his power to the point of their sanity breaking altogether (All 3 Julia episodes)

And don't get me started on the shit he puts his best and ONLY friend through (The whole damn reboot pretty much)

I very much liked Brain's development throughout the course of the reboot because, after letting each season sit, the pieces would come together and everything would somewhat make sense. But now that the reboot is over and Brain's development is complete, I can honestly say that he is so far from the person he used to be.

THIS is the exact reason why I view PEatB as canon:

THINK ABOUT IT

If you look at each series in chronological order and get to that spin-off show, you see Brain at his wits end, constantly getting punched down even when he isn't doing anything wrong. A villain arc was not too far fetched when considering that as part of the timeline of events.

But, if we completely disregard peatb, then this jump in character remains unexplained. And bear in mind that even with my reasoning, I believe Brain's character was NOT handled well in the reboot.

Hopefully, if that little guy graces the screen again before I turn 30, he'll be written to be just a touch more kind, if not almost exactly like he was in the old days.

funniest thing that happened this christmas— my brother went to help pick the baby up from her mom on christmas eve and stayed in the backseat with her on the long car ride back to help prevent a meltdown and then the next day was like “bluey rules. i mean this seriously that show is so good. that sleepy time episode is phenomenal, they did their own rendition of jupiter, it was so well-done.” literally had a danny devito “i get it now” moment

I would have presented his ass an actual s'more cooked on the spot by me over an open flame, with the marshmallow on a stick like God intended.

I would be immediately disqualified and possibly burn the tent down, killing everyone, but it would be worth it.

They know Jack shit fuckall dick about American food. That isn't a s'more, it's a sandwich cookie.

GBBO: “A s’more is basically just an Italian merengue sandwiched between two ganache-covered digestives”

Help, I need something to watch, but nothing is jumping out to me.

(update: via tags rambling, I have decided that it is finally time for me to continue watching Critical Role Campaign 1...)

It's crazy how Dungeon Meshi's manga can feel more cinematic and emotional than the anime to me, even when they're practically the same. Compared to the anime, this moment is such a heartbreaking gut-drop. The way Kui uses negative space and flat compositions to create a sense of horrific stillness is so key.

The way the text (Senshi's monologue) is sequestered to an empty corner of a panel or huddled away from the edge of its text box is not only a great way of showing Senshi's headspace (fearful, isolated, dissociating), but creates a visual representation of pause, as if you hold your breathe after each line. The first panel puts us directly in Senshi's perspective too (compared to in the anime, which puts us as an outside observer over Senshi's shoulder). The detail of the door and bricks so effectively implies that he stared at it for so long, waiting and hoping, that its image is burned in his memory. The wood grain, the brick arch, the number of rivets. The lack of dialogue in the second panel shows a moment of realization too –– "he's dead" (also a great example of the Kuleshov effect). And it's that pause that creates a beat and sets a great rhythm to his headspace, like a music rest: "He never came back." (oh god.) "I'm all alone." Finally, the third panel's negative space, cropping Senshi, shows how truly alone he feels. Without his family, the world ceases to exists. Under shock, he traps himself in a 1-foot radius, too scared to even perceive a world outside its boundaries; a world that can hurt him, kill him, make him disappear with it. There is only his body, the stone beneath his feet and against his back, his thoughts, and that awful bowl of soup.

Even though they're a series of flat images, there's an implicit reading of silence in Senshi's realization and horror. Kui influences your experience to slow down and take your time.

Compare this to the anime, which fills every shot with dialogue. The pacing is fast; we never get to sit in silence like we do with the manga. The horizontal frame allowed the boarders to add Senshi, turning the composition into an over-the-shoulder shot, which takes us out of Senshi's POV. They also added a zoom-out in shot one, which adds unnecessary energy to a very somber scene. The tightening on Senshi as a close-up reaction shot also dulls the moment. In the original panel, Senshi stares ahead at the empty space to his left as a shadow surrounds his mind. It not only shows how Senshi's senses are dulling and his world is shrinking (setting up panel three), but shows how terrified Senshi is of what's in front of him, how the air itself becomes pitch black and opaque, how Senshi is surrendering himself to fear. The pacing is understandable and necessary; this episode packed a lot of story content together. It's just a shame because it really (imo) deflated one of the most nauseating moments in Dungeon Meshi.
