Just finished watching Iron Lung. SPOILER BELOW BECAUSE IMMA TALKER ABOUT IT
very good movie I am very happy with Markiplier and his work. SUPER cool concepts, pretty thoroughly explored, but not exactly spelled out which is good I think. Deserves a rewatch, mostly to try and listen to what different voice are saying.
First though, that's Markiplier, why would they do that to him. It's a little weird being so "familiar" which the way this guy acts. He'll make a face and I'll be like, "hahaha like that time in Unnus Annus". And that's not a fault, if Mark did more movies and each character was just Markiplier in his situations then I'd talk on it. Jason stathum moment, but thats not the case.
The suspense and tension are held extremely well throughout the movie. Fair enough to say mark has MUCH experience with what makes horror good and fun. And the fun is the important part. I guessed while watching how the movie just might make the most bleak depressing turn to ending. But I'm happy with the way it ended.
My guess, is that the quiet rapture is some sort of lovecraftian type god thing. We saw a god and an "angel"? I don't know if it's specifically a blood god. Or why it did the rapture. The use of the word rapture leads me to believe that this god left those it deemed unfit without suns or planets.
Not the blood ocean. It's obviously alive yes, and ensued body horror and such which was cool. Human blood. Maybe then, those that were deemed unworthy were liquified and made up the ocean. And they formed the giant fish thing. The answer to the rapture was down there, so it makes sense I think.
And I cannot deny the common lovecraftian tropes if not parallels. Mark seeing things at first. Things he was never meant to see. Hallucinating. Then hearing the voices of dead he's never met, leading him to a god he cannot fathom. Ultimately on the brink of insanity, possibly due to low O2 lol. And he accepted the "gifts" and changes to his body to ensure the destruction of the thing chasing him. It's purpose unclear.
Why is the big thing chasing him? The knowledge he holds? Can they undue the rapture? Or are they the people left in hell and the fish is trying to keep them from finding "heaven" where the others are. If they weren't just disappeared.
What exactly did they SM-8 have? Pictures? Or real evidence? Were they convicts, or real scientists. I think real scientists who found the secret of the blood and promptly fused with the beast.
The Eden followers praise the last tree. So why the HELL were they blowing up a space station? I might've missed that part. What they're beef?
In the picture where mark radiation blasted jacksepticeye. Where did the other two people go in the photo. Why did they disappear? Who were they. I'm so curious about that now.
Post too long☝️ hitting post button
My heart wants to say 10/10, but the asshole analytical judgy part whatever that is says 8/10 but that's comparing it to all other movies which removes that context about why this movie in particular shines so bright! I hope we endeavor into an artistic renaissance and every corporation fucking dies and explodes and imparted with the immutable knowledge they are stupid and bad and irredeemable
Classic Midwestern goodbye
