My Candy Love New Gen ep. 4 Review

Here I am after finishing the last episode of MCL New Gen ready to give my honest and unasked opinion about it. Fasten your seatbelts cause we are about to start and i'm not gonna be gentle

LET'S TALK ABOUT IT...

So the episode opens with Elenda who's basically trying to drag us so bad to the Cosey Bear because apparently Castiel was serving there ( No judgement toward Elenda, i wanted to see my husband too). Unfortunately for me and her, he already had left when we showed up to the Cafe. >3>.

Seeing Lynn animated was so cute and a little bit nostalgic but nothing compared to the GASP I emitted when she started talking to Thomas and he told her he was in love with her. GEEEEZ, now i get why that kid was a pain in the ass and RUINED my pic-nic date with Tomato head, THE DOTS CONNECTED. Btw it was a very cute scene and a tribute to Iris that I hope she will show up in Thomas' route.

Moving on, inspired by Thomas' love confession, everybody starts talking about their love life (expected since the episode's name is hearts looking for love). And this is where things went horribly cringe and outrageous: Ofc i'm not talking about Elenda and Devon ( It was cute to know that she had a crush on Devon and, about him, a little peak to where the story is possibly going to lead - a busy man that works his ass off so bad for Devenementiel and has no time to date)or Amanda but about ROY and BRUNE.

Hoooooly shit, the chill of second hand embarassment that I got just by reading the interractions between these two was undescribable I swear( Elenda became basically my guide spirit: her reaction was the same i had. ). Everything was so outofcontext and nonsense that I'm actually wondering why Beemov decided it was a great idea to give space to something so....childish? I mean, we're talking about (almost) 30yo people.. and they got together because they were...desperate??????? - "Yeah with my exes things weren't doing good so we decided to date even tho we don't talk, don't touch and fell uncomfortable with each other" - COOOME ON, BFR, you guys ok? Also, I really hope that we're gonna discover something deeper about Roy (or that he's going to get a development at least) that makes him more that what i can pick up and feel from him right now: childish Gymrat fixed on pool that give us nothing. I'm genuine deluded about the way they handled this.

Moving on to JASON PART. He basically shows up when we're still talking sitted by the table. I was obviously expecting the part where he was going to be pointed out as a "womanizer" but what I DID NOT EXPECT was the reaction he had when he overhears our conversation: I felt him being sarcastic as usual but at the end i felt he was kinda....hurt??? idk if you get what i mean, he literally said he had REASONS why he doesn't want to be in full term relationship and this opens my mind to an INFINITE AMOUNT OF THEORIES

Connected to what I've read on some theories here, someone said it's because of the condition ( or the pathology) that made his hair go white...

This is a really good point but I genuine think about something else that is connected to this and the SHOCK NUMBER 2: Why Devenementiel hates Jason so much?

Apparently our "proud and superior" man with an incredible fragile ego had PLAGIARIZED the project the would have helped Devon to found Devenementiel and, because of that, he was fired and disqualified by the contest. So...first things first: PIECE OF SHIT. Secondly, I genuine would have never thought about him doing something like this and that's the reason why i don't think he did it because he wanted to but perphaps he WAS PUSHED to do so.

Another theorie said that probably he was helped by a third person that played dirty and suggested him the same project Devon did

And I have to admit that this is something very likely, but stil don't really convince me too much.

We can clearly see that Jason has a lot of money, A LOT, and by the way he has so much money i'm assuming he comes from a family that at least has the same amount of capital he has now. We got told that he was basically working as an employer (if i remember correctly) so why trying to steal something from others if you are satisfied and don't need a job? perhaps because you NEED that first place to REDEEM yourself and PROVE someone wrong at least so that.. THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS. That's where his family and the white hair make their part: A Dad Ceo that basically disgraced his Son because he couldn't follow or keep up with the family business or - he wasn't good enough- for the role ( and that's why the white hair, because of the stress) . Another thing that might prove this is the fact that Devon told us that he had "private investors" and...i mean, if you're broke, i don't think you can find them just by snapping your fingers and make them appear in front of you, especially when you get fired and disqualified in a competition. He could have use the "family" name and hi charisma to persuade the investors to help him found Goldreamz. And THIS leads me to the last point: Why no long term relationship? Because his family has to end with him and he's scared of the consequences that a partner can have in his life. This reminded me so much Simon from Bridgerton btw. So yeah...I might be wrong (99%) but i want to think that he's a piece of shit just because he's hurt.

His special scene was normal i guess, i love the way my candy was looking at the instagram photos be like - "i'm just studying the enemy...not doing something wrong..maybe".

In the end i decided to try for the Thomas illustration and nothing to complain about, the scene was genuine one of the most cute one in the game so fare and the ilusstration 10/10 chef's kiss and handshake by the president.

A lot of my posts on such topics aren't really tagged, and my writings are scattered, and some thoughts I've only communicated through tumblr DMs, or just kept to myself and never really detailed publicly at all, so I figured it was time to make a ""masterpost"" of sorts in which I explain every idea I have about needlessly edgy scenarios involving everyone's favourite (?) mid-2000s comedy web series. Because there are issues with my brain.

1. The one where it's the suffering game arc of The Adventure Zone: Balance but with the new kids. I'm probably never gonna properly write this, but I'm imagining it having a tone that gets progressively more serious and intense than the actual series, but still with a decent amount of comedy.

This is the only entry on the list that definitively does not involve any of them dying, although if I was gonna properly write this (which, again, I'm probably never going to) then I would almost certainly include a couple of fake-out deaths (i.e. when Kevin drops to 0 HP and falls unconscious, or at the end when Neil comes back and sees the near-death state that Ryan and Kevin are in). But they all make it out ok.

2. Computer Fighters canon divergence au where they actually do use the computer virus floppy disk to defeat Gunfoot, but the virus takes them over and turns them into fucked up glitch monstrosities.

Also, alternate outcome of that same premise in which only Neil gets taken over by the computer virus, leaving Ryan and Kevin to figure out how to get him back to normal... or whether that's even possible.

(Edit: I've published this now! You can read it here)

3. Just a run-of-the-mill permadeath au. Most events play out the same, but Kevin stays dead after spooky manor, and in between getting up to wacky hijinks, Neil and Ryan go through a tumultuous grieving process which ultimately results in them forging a stronger bond. Maybe in this au the studio sends Spencer in specifically as a "replacement" for Kevin, which forces Ryan and Neil to come to terms with the fact that Kevin is actually gone, when maybe up until that point they'd sort of subconsciously been expecting him to come back somehow.

Later, Ryan getting frozen by the misery meister takes him out of the picture permanently in this au. Either A) without having Kevin there to encourage him, Neil can't work up the courage to go back to the lair, or B) ...well, uh, think about what might happen to a human body in the real world if it got frozen in ice and then someone tried thawing them out with a hairdryer. Yeah. Very icky, very unpleasant, very traumatizing for Neil.

There are two possibilities as to how Neil himself would meet his end without having his friends at his side anymore. Either the bad luck curse from the lost episode does him in, or he gets gunned down while inside the game world of computer fighters 2000. Either way, this is definitely an "everybody dies in horrific and depressing ways" scenario.

4. The fic where they get attacked by Rorschach watchmen, and the elaborate continuation of it that I have not written and probably will not write, but it sure does exist inside my brain. Here's the play-by-play, ft. accompanying notebook doodles (click for full view because some of them are formatted weird)

So, two distinct timelines here. In Timeline A, Ryan manages to avenge his friends' deaths and kill the original Rorschach. However, since he can't go back to his old life, he takes the Rorschach mask and adopts the Rorschach identity.

In Timeline B, Kevin and Neil recover from their injuries, but the first responders recognize Ryan as a vigilante and just leave him in the alley. Neil and Kevin return to the alleyway after recovering and leaving the hospital, and they find a stray dog chewing on a pile of human bones. Kevin blames both himself and Neil for what happened to Ryan, but Neil refuses to (outwardly) accept any blame. This leads to them having a big argument and going their separate ways.

Cut to several years later in Timeline B. Neil has devoted himself to advanced computer science, whereas Kevin (who has an eye scar in this timeline from when Rorschach punched him in the face) has devoted himself to such hobbies as violence, guns, and dramatically holding Ryan's skull (because yeah that's whose bones it was if that wasn't clear) and vowing revenge.

Kevin's plan is to kill Rorschach, but for some reason in all these years he's never been able to find him. This is probably just because this timeline's Rorschach also died ""offscreen"" at some point. Maybe the actual plot of watchmen happened, who knows. Either way, Neil has a loftier plan: opening a portal to an alternate reality, finding an alternate version of Ryan, and bringing him into this universe (because, plot twist, Neil DOES feel extremely bad about what happened!! He's just unwilling to admit to all the guilt he's wracked with!!)

So Neil's plan actually works, and a version of Ryan manifests outside his science building. However, just then, Kevin was heading over to Neil's science building to yell at him or something, because that's something he does occasionally. That, or everyone is just incredibly in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Because, guess what, it's Rorschach!Ryan from Timeline A, who all this time has just been doing the edgy vigilante thing and being depressed and alone. He appears, with the Rorschach mask on, and Kevin immediately shoots him. Neil gets there just in time to catch him as he falls.

Kevin rips off the Rorschach mask in a classic "let's see who you really are!" moment, and is shocked and horrified to find that it's Ryan. At this point, Neil breaks down and admits to all the guilt he's been wracked with all these years.

Does Ryan survive? That's up to you to decide for yourself, I guess. Do you think you could survive getting shot point-blank with an entire round of bullets? Either way, it's definitely a big moment of emotional catharsis.
