So, I drew this back in October 2021 but only shared it on the BoJack Horseman Reddit - I liked the idea of lining up the diamonds in Bojacks family tree, ending up with Hollyhock breaking away from their family trauma. I only realised after the sketch that Honey doesnāt have a diamond but I still wanted her to be at the top.
Imagine if you locked Light and Patrick Bateman in a room together. They would be having the most generic conversation but you wouldnāt be able to hear it over the sound of their overlapping internal monologues. There would be a few seconds where their monologues both play in sync to say something misogynistic.
Going off my last post here's some voicelines I think the current PA's would say regarding Otto and Arora. (I hated myself for writing these, mind you.)
I do wonder what the dynamic is going to be between them.
COYLE
"Rich assholes wouldn't know a days honest work if it smacked em in their ungodly faces."
"Fucking rich inbred assholes. Living it up while I'm dealing with the constant stream of shit and scum of society."
"Just when I thought this place wasn't going to get any worse. Now there's abominations of flesh committing one of God's most gravest of sins."
"He needs to be firmer with his woman. He shouldn't be letting that wrinkled back tumour call the shots."
What bullshit is this?! Is everyone else getting a proper weapon but me?!
FRANCO
"So what, he's got a woman on his back all the time? Story of my father's life."
"If she's only a torso, you think she's got a cunt under that dress? Or does it cut off before it gets to the goods?"
"Finally! Some people with some fucking class in this place. Thought I'd be the only one.
He shouldn't let his women dress like that...her teets are just...hanging out for anyone to look at.
Looks like grandma's milk is all dried up...I suppose it wouldn't hurt for me to check personally, just to be sure.
Jesus, none of our enforcers were ever as big as this guy.
Hey! Stay of my terf you old fucks. If anyone is going to be making money from toxic chemicals, it's gonna be me, and I ain't sharing my profits.
GOOSEBERRY
"I do feel sorry for them. They won't be able to give any of the children a piggyback ride."
"Oh Doctor Daddy. I wish I had someone as close to me as those two are." Dr Futterman: I'm right here, Phylis.
I wonder if I could talk with the old lady away from her husband? It would be nice to have some female companionship in this place.
I do hope they don't exert themselves at the funfair. I wouldn't want them to have a heart attack from having too much fun.
I must ask the nice lady if she could help improve my little ones angel dust, to help make it extra special.
Shield your eyes, children! She is not dressed in a suitable manner to be seen by the little ones.
The older gentleman...he reminds me of you, Dr Daddy.
My oh my...What a big chainsaw he has. And look at how well he handles it. Dr Futterman: If you keep talking about these men like that I'm gonna lock you away till you hit menopause, Phylis.
Season 1 of Gotham is so funny because even though Ed is just a weirdo from the forensics department who hasn't done anything yet, everyone is fed up with him. Every person working at the GCPD is like "fuuuckk... it's that freak again š" when he's around. They hate him for his autistic swag.
The idea of the VIPs being guards in the games COULD'VE been such an impactful mirror to In-ho's experiences.
You have the VIPs at the dinner, talking about shooting players without even batting an eye, comparing it to big game hunting in Africa. They do not see these people as human beings.
Then you have In-ho sitting there.
Someone who initially had the same view as the VIPs. That these players were racehorses and nothing more.
In-ho was a player, once for real and once as a fake; the second time around he got to experience feelings of companionship, camaraderie and teamwork. They celebrated whenever they won the second game, he gave Jun-hee water so her and the baby would be better off in the games, he divulged the details of his wife to Gi-hun.
He got to experience Seong Gi-hun.
The man who began to change his perception of things. The man he's been obsessed with for three years. The man who wouldn't go on the airplane when he had a million reasons to.
He'd begun to see that Gi-hun was not a racehorse.
That should've been something that was focused on.
Instead, the VIPs being guards is a blink and you miss it moment that adds absolutely nothing to the plot and doesn't get talked about.
That may have been shit but there's one moment I want to rant about.
The moment when In-ho is watching Gi-hun in the dorms after giving him the knife. The knife pointed at Player 100's throat.
God, he wants Gi-hun to do it so bad. He wants him to make the same choices he did. To murder the players in their sleep. To prove that he will do whatever to survive. Oh Il-nam saw potential in him, and he sees that same potential in Gi-hun.
To know that had he done it, Gi-hun and the baby would've been safe.
And even beyond that, there was the potential for Gi-hun to join the games in some capacity, the same way he did when Oh il-nam gave him the same knife.
At the least, In-ho wants to save him, at the most In-ho wants him to join him.
And the look of heartbreak on his face when he doesn't. When Gi-hun still tries to save as many as he can despite the amount he's lost over the course of the second game.
I really like how they've adapted Isaac in the TLOU S2. They managed to do so much with the little screentime he's had so far.
Showing him as not only an ex-FEDRA Soldier but someone who was high up in the Military command, someone who was forced to watch on as soldiers younger than him gleefully enjoyed making the people they were meant to protect suffer. Showing his ruthlessness and commitment to helping the WLF in their cause.
It adds such a richness to the story and his character that we didn't get in the original.
While I do think the Interrogation scene was a little on the nose with the themes of 'the cycle of violence' I think overall Isaac's interrogation was brilliantly done.
It's going to be very interesting to see the vibe he has with Abby and if that's going to be much different from the game.
