My 'The Amazing Digital Circus' Theory
First of all, if you haven’t seen The Amazing Digital Circus on YouTube yet, you should. It’s damn good, not to mention crucial for understanding my theory. The core premise of the pilot episode is that a small group of humans have been trapped within a computer game, slowly driving them crazy. However, whether or not that’s intentional is up for debate. The pilot episode begins with the visuals being framed by a computer screen with graphics reminiscent of an old Windows game. We then zoom in, and the graphics smooth out into the show’s style. I agree with the interpretation that this was a purposeful choice for reasons beyond art aesthetics. The zoom symbolizes the viewer literally entering the game, our first clue, before the characters spell it out a few minutes later. Next, we meet Caine, the apparent god of this world. By his own admission, he controls almost everything except for the trapped people’s minds. While there’s some debate over this guy’s status, I believe that Caine
I recently saw Disney's latest movie, Encanto. Like most people, I liked it. And like most people, I'm open to seeing more. The idea of a family with superpowers only having localized ambitions of using those powers to benefit their community is pretty neat. It's a big family with a lot of interesting characters, many of whom were overshadowed by the film's plot and not given enough screen time. Felix and Camilo, you guys particularly deserved so much more love. First, however, I'd like to talk about the movie's most expressive character and how this might be explored in a hypothetical Encanto series. Casita is the name of the Madrigal house. She doesn't speak, but moves the tile, boards, and other household components in a creative form of sign language. Throughout the movie, they make references to the miracle that birthed Casita and gave the Madrigals their powers, which they call gifts or blessings. However, they never go into too much detail on this matter and simply accept that
Avatar: The Last Airbender is regarded as one of, if not the greatest shows Nickelodeon has ever featured. However, I don’t think it’s controversial to say that its sequel, Legends of Korra, was a mixed bag. To be fair, most of that can be attributed to the studio screwing around with the writers so that they never knew how many seasons they had to work with. Even then, the writing can be pretty wonky in places. Like in season two, I thought the flashback origin of the Avatar was some awesome lore, but I can see how people cringe at the mention of the Dark Avatar, calling it bad fanfiction. However, I think there’s potential in this idea, which would make an excellent focus for a hypothetical third Avatar series. Before we go further, this proposal is written for people who have seen both series. I’ll try to give refreshers where I deem appropriate, but if you’ve never seen the show and don’t know what bending is, I’m not gonna help you. Okay? Okay. In season two of Korra, Unalaq
There was no light in this horrible place. It was impossible to see much further than a few feet in front of one’s face. Upon the solitary platform, the survivors were only aware of the stone pillars because their former vessel steering had collided with them before being destroyed. The stones had glowed a sickly yellow light when that happened, granting a momentary increase in vision, but also drawing the attention of other things, like that which had torn the vessel asunder.
One thing in particular held the full attention of the survivors. Its voice, booming and terrible, echoed off the unseen walls and chilled them to the very bone
