It’s been forever and a day, but I drew Viking 1 again. I still love this guy and his three minutes of screen time in Goes to Mars. Who knows, I may even write another story about him. Like I said, it’s been forever.

Disney’s The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars 🍞☄️

[wouldtheybecomeafearavatar]

Would the Supreme Commander from "The Brave Little Toaster Goes To Mars" (the book version) become an avatar of the Extinction? His plan to destroy all organic life on Earth so appliances may inherit the world seems like a perfectly plausible birthing ritual for the Extinction, in my opinion.

The Brave Little Toaster franchise > MOST CHARACTERS

Inanimate Object Characters List | Entry: 2

Following up, is the franchise of The Brave Little Toaster! The franchise's first movie along with the first Cars movie (and later on the second) made my childhood! I will forever love this movie with all my heart and soul. Those dear memories are sure worth cherishing.

Once again, I do not intend to list and put picture of all those (to the "sentient object" characteristic qualified) characters, because that would be too many. And I neither will I do that for upcoming media on this list whenever they get to obtain the "many/most/all" tag.

On to the subject of matter, this franchise consists of three movies:

Movie: The Brave Little Toaster (1987)

Movie: The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue (1997)

Movie: The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars (1998)

Oh my.

Tinselina but she's modeled after a biblically accurate angel. Still all organic

[umemiyan]

fun fact, i think the brave little toaster movie altered me psychologically but not in a good way

do y’all remember the scene where he ends up in some shop surrounded by a bunch of fucked up appliances or whatever?? and there was that lamp. the fucking lamp unsettles me to this very day

[tandytoaster]

Okay I'm ready to talk about it now, I have been thinking so much about the brave little toaster goes to mars and comparing it to our real life history of space travel

Under the cut because it's long. Like. Embarrassingly long

I KNOW WHAT YOURE THINKING. "Malaise! They got up there in a laundry basket powered by the ceiling fan and the microwave with cheddar popcorn!" YES, I KNOW,

But there's some things that are like. Almost true. And I liked thinking about that

LIKE VIKING 1. Viking 1 very much so is a real spacecraft that landed on Mars, but they call him a satellite ("The satellite?" "No, Viking 1 the bagel. OF COURSE THE SATELLITE") and he's not a satellite! The real viking 1 had an orbiter going around Mars aside from the lander, so the orbiter would be a satellite, but not the lander, and the appliances only spoke to the lander.

I think they're thinking satellite means "thing that relays back information to Earth", but a satellite is anything that orbits a planet or star. Like this is purely a semantic thing and even by a technicality you could consider a portion of Viking 1 to be a satellite but again they were not talking to the orbiter, who, if featured in the movie, I have reason to believe would be a different consciousness from that of the lander, given how appliance sentience seems to work

There was also a Viking 2. Who is not mentioned whatsoever. Not really a Problem or inaccuracy, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless

And I also want to mention the other satellites ('satellites') on Mars, I tried to see if there were any on Mars or sent there during the time the appliances would've been there (so, prior to 1998), I think Mars 6 has some similarities with one of them, but that's also me stretching. Like, they're definitely just generic spacecraft designs loosely inspired by real satellites ( Or maybe not I would love to be proven wrong here genuinely!!!!!) but I just wanted to see if there were any accurate real world equivalents like with Viking 1

SECONDLY,

Viking 1 claims that NASA cut contact with him on purpose which is also not true- it was a booboo, it was a mistake. What is true, however, is that there was no intention to bring him back to Earth. PERSONALLY, I think Viking 1 was convinced by the Wonderluxe appliances that NASA did that on purpose, seeing as the Wonderluxe hate humanity and believe humans are eager to get rid of their old electronics.

Then we have TINSELINA, MY BELOVED

I think its obvious there was no angel topper onboard with the real viking 1, BUT WHAT IT DID HAVE was a microfilm listing the thousands of people that worked on it. I personally think that Tinselina is a nod towards how NASA will put 'nonessential' symbolic things on their spacecrafts, like that list, or the golden records with the music and the greetings that are on the Voyager twins

Circling back to Viking 1's cut contact with NASA, when Tinselina leaves with the gang for Earth, she says she and Viking 1 can keep in touch via radio (side note idk if she meant like Radio radio or a different kind of radio). Perhaps in this canon, NASA did purposefully end contact with Viking 1, but I'm buying into this tbh because it's too sad to think about Tinselina and Viking 1 thinking they'll be able to still talk to reach other, only to find out that Viking 1 can't reach ANYONE, not just NASA. LIKE IT'S TOO SAD I CAN'T DO IT.

Tinselina also mentions that little Robbie was pulled up by the tractor beam in 'Noctis Labyrinthus', WHICH IS A REAL, NAMED PLACE ON MARS- Which I think is really cool to have been mentioned, but it's also really interesting because someone Obviously did their research!

This one isn't really an "Umm ackshually", but more of like an observation and theory. The Mars Hearing Aid, the Supreme Commander of Mars (previously), was picked up in the late 30's, early 40's (Earth Hearing Aid says it's been 60 years since they've seen each other, if the year is 98 then 60 years prior would be 1938) was left behind in Germany and picked up by some scientist, which is where Mars Hearing Aid learned to turn against humans, he only heard about weapons and war and destruction.

Now this is probably my biggest reach but I feel like I have ground to stand on with this too though, I want to believe this is mentioned at all as a nod to the unfortunate piece of space travel history that is the fact that it was the V-2 rockets designed and launched by the nazi's, that were the first rockets to reach outer space, even if that wasn't the intended purpose.

I feel like I'm making a lot of reaches here, because this is obviously a children's movie and was never meant to be scrutinized under the lens of someone dedicated enough to fact check these things. They're going to Mars in a laundry basket, of course it's not realistic or accurate to our world. BUT LIKE there seems to be a lot happening that was pulled from real life space history, just slightly altered either on purpose or unintentionally, instead of just making up their own thing and going with that
