Similarities between Inhun/457 and Hannigram; personal analysis of the attitudes that connect these characters 💭
Starting with actor Lee Byung Hun's face. I don't even need to go into details...
• Villain disguised as a hero;
Inho/001 x Hannibal Lecter
Both wear a good guy disguise to get close to and mentally and psychologically manipulate their "target" of obsession, taking actions to impress and defend the target that sometimes make us question their villainy towards the good guy.
Both Inho and Hannibal seem to be desperately searching for a trace of understanding and similarity in someone towards themselves. Hannibal became obsessed with Will when he saw this similarity in him (both characters misunderstood by society, mentally broken and with difficulties in expressing and understanding their own emotions), and just like the cannibal, Inho saw something similar in Gihun, therefore, feeling the need to, somehow, get close to him to keep him under his control.
"But Inho and Gihun are completely different", yes, just like Hannibal and Will; that doesn't stop the characters from identifying with each other psychologically.
In my opinion, Inho saw in Gihun an ambition and confidence that piqued his interest. "But Gihun is not ambitious or self-centered" No, he is not, not materially speaking. Gihun's ambition comes from the will he has over the things he sets out to do. He is ambitious about what he wants and this ambition is accompanied by a hyper-empathy bordering on masochism, considering that Gihun returned to the game not only because of his desire to end it, but because of the guilt of having survived when people died, because of the desire to prevent other deaths. This hyper-empathy also shows up in other scenes, and this is where Will comes in.
• The hyper-empathetic good guy;
Will Graham × Seong Gihun
Unlike Will's hyper-empathy, which manifests itself through his ability to put himself in the Assassin's shoes and mentally experience the murders, Gihun's empathy is blatant, making us feel a little angry and uncomfortable with the situations in which 456 puts himself by thinking more about others than about himself. A scene that left me in agony was in season 2, in the first game, where he runs from the safe area to pick up a man who was shot in the leg. The man would have been killed anyway, but he insisted on picking him up with less than 30 seconds to go.
Unlike 456's blatant empathy, which almost makes him seem naive in several scenes (like when he gives his only extra ammunition to Inho to save himself in the future), Will's empathy is more "dark" and firm. Will doesn't trust people easily, much less Hannibal, while 456 trusts Inho/001 right away and from the first contact they are inseparable.
• Jealousy, Control and Possessiveness
I think that after their faces, these are the characteristics that Hannibal and Inho have most in common. Neither of them want their good boys to have anyone other than themselves. We can see Hannibal eliminating the people who get close to Will throughout the series, but with Inho, we follow the stages and moments of this jealousy until it reaches its peak (the final episode that resembles Mizumono). Inho observed Gihun's interactions with Jungbae (Gihun's longtime friend) in silence, just processing each moment and creating a mental bomb that would explode in the future (like when Jungbae made Gihun laugh, at night in the dorms, and the scene cuts to 001 listening under the bed in total DISGUST).
• Mizumono
Both villains analyzed here need to control their targets of obsession, manipulating them and trying to build a home in their heads, and when they realize they have been "betrayed", that's when the bomb explodes.
Hannibal felt betrayed by Will when he learned that he was helping in a plan against him behind his back (but we know that Will was so confused about his feelings and morality that he didn't even know who to go with), and then killed Abgail in front of him after a heartbreaking speech.
Inho felt betrayed by Gihun when, during a shootout in the player vs. soldier attack, Gihun said he would go inside to find the way out. Inho asked: "Shall I go with you?", and Gihun simply said that Jungbae would go with him. Later, Jungbae asks 456 why he chose him and not 001 who is more skilled with weapons, and Gihun answers that he chose him because they are friends. The next scene suggests that Inho, disappointed, listened behind the communicator, but we don't know if the communicators were on or not...
It's worth noting the expression on Inho's face when Gihun said that Jungbae was the one who would...
(POOR GUY 456 APOLOGIZE TO HIM AND TAKE HIM WITH YOU NOW
The Mizumono between 456 and 001 happens thanks to this event, when, later, after putting on his masked Boss costume, Inho goes to Gihun and Jungbae on the stairs. Just like Hannibal, he says heartbroken words (less dramatic and more angry) and eliminates Jungbae in front of Gihun.
Both killed people close and important to their targets out of possessiveness and hurt, out of a sick and incomprehensible feeling of betrayal; feelings that only they understand.
How can little sweet creatures like this be so DESTRUCTIVE.
There doesn't seem to be a need and mutual dependence in 457 like there is in Hannigram (at least not yet, there's still one season left), the obsession and interest come from Inho, but there is a notable chemistry and tension, smiles and exchanges of OBVIOUS glances.
I know that Hannigram is complex and very intense, I'm not making an extremely serious comparison, but rather recording some points that I observed and since I love both couples, I wanted to do this. The depth of the characters is obviously different, we're just making a fan observation here. ♡
HANNIGRAAAMMMM 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
everyone watching the season finale:
that's it that's the post
I haven’t thought this through entirely, but…despite being very male-centric—in fact, because it is very male-centric—Our Flag Means Death is a very feminist show. It engages directly with issues of toxic masculinity and the misogyny that is at the base of homophobia. It criticizes patriarchal structures and heteronormative requirements. It unpacks compulsory heterosexuality and frames it as something that damages everyone (the portrayal of Mary Allamby Bonnet is very important within this argument). It interrogates how women participate in and act as gatekeepers of patriarchy. The show focuses a lot (but not exclusively) on men, and avoids using women as the saviors of men. There's no use of female characters to educate men on how to be good—the men work through their issues themselves and everyone involved is trapped within the same damaging systems.
This is why I think we ignore misogynist language or misinterpret explicitly misogynist characters to our detriment. Izzy and Jack and Nigel and Chauncey are all explicitly misogynist, and there’s a deliberate way they use sexist language to denigrate femme characters (primarily Stede and Lucius, but even Ed and the rest of the crew, and Ricky). Zheng herself utilizes misogyny in the denigration of “soft” men (which also is self-hatred: she despises the softness within herself).
I'd love to hear other thoughts on this, though.
I know that it’s still sad we’ve yet to get Season 3, but I really fucking love they included this shot as a promise of what will happen, whether we see it or not.
Because there’s no pining or uncertainty at all; they have each other, they’re going to have each other forever, and Ed knows it.
He’s gonna husband that man up so good.
Say what you will about Stede Bonnet but my guy knows when to leave a fucking situation
Ricky fucking around at Spanish Jackie'z? Stede's already GONE
Jim and Olu and a suspiciously sweaty Lucius who had previously been missing standing there arguing? Stede's CLOSING THE DOOR, he's OUT
Ghost of your childhood bully representing your guilt chasing you around? JUST SAIL THE BOAT AWAY, ghosts can't swim
Antique shop burn down? He's OUTTA THERE
People being mean to you at a fancy party? lol just LEAVE THE ROOM
Master plan to escape the British in the finale was certainly cut heavily for time but as it stands it definitely scans like JUST WALK AWAY LMAO and that's another banger from my man Stede tbh
If there's one thing about Stede. he will be leaving
love how momo and okarun's dynamic as of episode 5 is momo being like "if you confront me about my feelings about ken okarun I will fling myself off the nearest cliff but also if you hurt him I will skin you alive" and okarun being like "wow my first friend!!! 🥰🥰🥰☺️☺️ I wanna treasure her forever. If she doesn't talk to me I'll kill myself"
They're so pookies I love them <33
I wasn't going to say this, They're dating.
WHY. ARE. THEY. SO.
🔥🔥🔥
