đđ hereâs an idea, how about for Silver?
Iâll take the two emojis as two different lines. So the first one is when Silver explains how he found Morph:
âHe's... a Morph. I rescued the little shapeshifter on Proteus One.â [Morph transforms back and floats over the Silver; they cuddle each other.]: âAw, he took a shine to me. We've been together ever since.â
Why Iâm gushing about this one? Well this is just more proof that this old sea dog is nothing but a big softie. While being a pirate and searching for the treasure, he still takes it upon himself to go out of his way to save this lil shmoo, and now theyâre bffs. And Silver will cuddle the babby in front of everyone without shame. Big. Old. Cuddle bear.
Ok, time for a tone shift.
âYou give up a few things...chasin' a dream. â
This is more of a meta than a gush, and probably stating the obvious, but it gets a lot more painful factoring in my characters. Silver stares in retrospect at his metal hand. He feels it, he feels through it, but it doesnât feel like him. Maybe it never will. Silver gave up more than just his physical body parts in pursuit of the treasure. He gave up the chance at a âsafeâ life, albeit in poverty. He gave up his status as a law abiding citizen, possibly for good.Â
He gave up his daughter, now safe yet far away from him. Heâd never have the family he dreamed of. The Lord only knows where she is now....
He gave up on himself. After how far heâs come, how much heâs done...this is who heâs turned himself into. We as the audience see thatâs not entirely true, especially as the movie progresses. But to him...thereâs no going back now. Now that thereâs nothing left to lose except his very life, heâs going to put his all into getting Flintâs trove, and that mechanical arm, stiff metal leg, and half-computerized vision will serve as the physical symbols of his sacrifices, reminders of the price he paid, and motivation to finish this treasure hunt.
âWas it worth it?â
âHeh. [sighs] I'm hoping it is, Jimbo. I most surely am.âÂ
