The Astro Boy movie is so underrated... I really felt for Astro Boy when he found out he wasn't the real Toby. The whole emotional and psychological distress he would have felt when he realized Toby died, he isn't the real Toby but rather he was created to replace Toby, and then was disowned by his own father/creator like he was nothing in a short matter of time. I wonder since he has all of Toby's memories can he recall Toby's last moments of life? If so that's even more sad

Rewatching Astro Boy (2009) right now and I have a headcanon/theory or whatever that Astro does actually act like Toby in the beginning, but his dad is just so absent that he does not know his son.

I want a story about the guy who drove the truck that crashed into Tobio. Like what was his/her life like after the fact, I imagine it haunts them deeply, especially when that same kids face later becomes the face of the most famous robot on the planet.

The more I think about Astro Boy (2009) the more my brain snowballs-

BECAUSE LIKE.

tw: mentions of d//th

Imagine this. You're a kid. A gifted kid, but always a prodigy, never a child. The robot that works under your family spends more time with you than your dad does.

Unbeknownst to you, you d/e a horrible death and then everything is seemingly fine, your dad wants to spend time with you! Maybe he actually is okay with seeing your actual self and you being a kid-

Nope. No dice. Then within the same night he basically kicks you out, says he doesn't want you, AND THEN THE GOVERNMENT CHASE YOU DOWN FOR SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU HAD.

Then you get knocked down to what's effectively no man's land only to find, hey, friends! Hey, a decent dad figure! Hey, maybe things are gonna be okay-

NOPE. ROBOT GAMES. PATERNAL BETRAYAL. ALL YOUR FRIENDS HATE YOU NOW, HOWEVER BRIEFLY, BECAUSE AGAIN, OF SOMETHING NOT IN YOUR CONTROL. So, while probably not even at puberty age, you have to fight a bunch of other robots like you to the literal death, and then you get zapped by your 2nd betrayer/father figure when you refuse-

AND THEN THE GOVERNMENT POPS UP AGAIN. AND HE JUST ACCEPTS IT BECAUSE AT THIS POINT?? WHAT DOES THIS LITERAL CHILD HAVE??

AND THEN WHEN HE'S LITERALLY ABOUT TO GET SHUT OFF, SO BASICALLY KILLED, AT HIS OWN DAD'S HANDS MIND YOU, HE APOLOGISES FOR NOT BEING A BETTER TOBY?? LIKE SON NO, BABY, THIS ISN'T YOUR FAULT. YOU WENT THROUGH HELL ALL AT ONCE OVER LIKE...A WEEK AT THE MOST. YOU ARE A KID.

AND THEN HE LITERALLY SAYS 'THIS IS MY DESTINY' WHEN HE'S ONLY BEEN ALIVE LIKE 4 DAYS?? WHEN SAID 'DESTINY' BOTH TIMES INVOLVES DYING SOMEHOW???

A A A A A-

Astro Boy art dump time! Sorry I haven't posted much, yet I'll keep having fun.

I guess if Astro II existed for a Movie Sequel or got a lil more screentime to fight his Primary Counterpart, It could be a confusing fight that there maybe a requirement to test both of them to see which one's the real/good one.

Here's one where Astro Boy meets Cyan! (Astro's the blue shape creature) :D Oh yeah, Dub ain't happy with this turn of event.
