i have so few cogent thoughts about mcr in peru lmao the is-it-a-prequel vs is-it-not-a-prequel debate is fascinating. i'm leaning towards not a prequel so much as maybe an alternate timeline taking place roughly parallel to the first leg of the tour? like maybe we're just seeing things from a different angle now than we were witness to before. i think back to the prison cell on screen at i think philly? where the band and the dictator had cheesesteaks
i don't think it's a coincidence that gerard mentioned cheeseburger in paradise after previously mentioning phantom of the paradise... for the phantom of the paradise, the paradise is truly not paradise. it is a prison.
idk... there's something there
and i'm still hoping we find out the second song gerard has done at karaoke eventually, since he made a point to say that living on a prayer was one of two times he's done karaoke. i'm glad it doesn't seem like it's cheeseburger in paradise though
