Come si intitola quel film dove le assurdità sono una prassi e il popolo di quel pianeta perde tempo a parlare di cose completamente inutili?

Viper: Skull has the weirdest knowledge and skill set I have ever seen. Like, watch this.
Viper: HEY SKULL?
Skull, across the room: YEA?
Viper: why does antifreeze taste shit?
[skull wanders over while speaking]
Skull: ethelyne-glycol is a chemical compound toxic to the human body, and it’s used in antifreeze. Since it tastes sweet, people kept killing their spouses by mixing it with jello, so they eventually added something else to make it gross.
Viper: ok, what’s the most interesting place you know of?
Skull: uhhh, well, glacial Lake Agassiz existed a long LONG time ago, and it was essentially created by a glacier damming a river, and every so often it would create these MASSIVE floods when the ice lifted.
Viper: ok, how many times did humans domesticate cats?
Skull: actually they domesticated themselves at least three times.
Viper: alright. Who is the current president of the United States?
Skull, cheerfully: no clue!
[viper looks directly into the camera, gestures at skull, then walks away]

C’è chi li considera asociali, perché sanno stare bene anche da soli senza soffrire la solitudine. Perché amano scegliere con chi stare. Con i pochi, con le anime affini, perché non sono fatti per stare con chiunque. C’è chi li considera asociali solo perché amano il loro arcobaleno e non vogliono il grigio che gli altri vogliono dipingergli addosso. Se stare bene con se stessi e non accontentarsi di chiunque, per qualcuno significa essere asociali, loro sono fieri di essere se stessi.
Solitari, ma non soli.

A little thing I wrote a while back when I was revisiting KHR... basically my very self-indulgent thoughts on a BAMF!Skull who decides the best strategy to survive the underworld is by letting everyone else underestimate him.
I've never really been fond of the way he's treated by others in canon, and it completely baffles me why they'd choose to characterise him like this if he's supposed to be one of the strongest seven.
There are ways of making supposedly OP characters weaker - inner fears, disagreements, conflicting loyalties, a person who is their achilles heel, a lack of motivation - you DON'T need to make someone into a bullied lackey.
----
As far as navigating the wild seas of the mafia goes, Skull believes that being underestimated is the best strategy.
Skull is a method actor.
And that means embodying clumsiness and hysteria.
He makes mistakes. He plays up his confusion. Joins the weakest family that he could find (With some sense of ethics that he could stomach, obviously. He'd be speeding down the highway in the opposite direction if he so much as caught a whiff of the Estraneo. Ugh, hurting children.)  He botches his jobs. He falls and screams and cries and shrieks. He lets himself get hit and made fun of.
He picks himself up and dusts himself off at the end of every day.
It's a fine balance, this game of being just competent enough to affirm his status as the Cloud Arcobaleno, and yet leaving others completely baffled at his continued survival.
It's a risky game to play, stringing some of the world's most powerful along and playing them for fools.
He is Skull, the world's greatest stuntman. Taking big risks is just another day to him.
You see, those who are born and raised in the mafia have a complacency to them. They look at civilians and think weak.
They look at Skull and see nothing but civilian. Weak. Coward.
These mafia men forget that stuntmen like Skull actively run into death with their eyes wide open. 
They forget that being born a civilian means that they have actively chosen this life of danger. They have seen it all and decided to stay.
So Skull lets the other Arcobaleno have their fun at his expense. He takes on the role of useless lackey and screams into all their ears at the first sign of danger. Makes them forget that he's the first one to spot any danger at all. Lets them gloss over the fact that appearances aside, he was also chosen to stand beside them as one of the strongest, in spite of his civilian background.
It feels like a huge prank he's playing on them, one that may never see an end and it tickles Skull deep inside that these mafioso who pride themselves in their strength and intelligence and spy networks have never quite figured out that Skull is simply performing a role in front of them.
He's content to let life continue on this way. He has no qualms allowing their arrogance to one day cause their demise. After all, the fall of many great men has been caused by their very own hubris.
That is, until, he catches wind of something very interesting.
Reborn has been assigned to tutor the up and coming candidate for Vongola 10th.
A civilian candidate.
And Skull has never quite been interested in involving himself in mafia affairs, but just perhaps…
He could impart some teachings to help a kindred soul navigate this world.
And really honestly, it seems like it'd be fun to fuck around with Reborn. Just a little.

Like I REALLY don't get canon. He's a STUNTMAN. Danger is pretty much his job??? He actively chooses to jump through rings of fire and taunt death and the mafia decides he's weak?????

I didn't even finished reading the plot of Trials of Apollo before my mind went 'another identity for Skull! Awesome!'
He's my little purple dude and I love him
So....
Its one trial? We are going with the Amnesic!Skull trope and throw the poor dude in River Lethe?
Also...
Apollo may be one of the 'nicer' ones, but we can't forget Achilles, or Marsyas, or Coronis or Niobe or Kassandra...
Kawahira is doomed
And LUCE omg! Seer my ass
Iris would be the one responsable for the Dying Will Flames? Rainbow and all? Or Prometheus?

Am I the only one who is still hung up over the Mare Rings being sealed? And then finding out that their existence is literally connected to the lifehood of Earth? Because we never got any explanation on any of that. How do the Arcobaleno know how to seal the rings in the first place? Why does Kawahira not intervene? And again, why doesn’t he intervene when the Vongola Rings are changed?

@hopeswriting I realized mid-response to how Colonnello is quiet that I actually pair all of the Arcobaleno into "two sides of the same coin" sets and that probably deserved it's own post XD
Like Reborn and Skull. They're both loud, overdramatic, and theatric. But Reborn's performance is always at least part ego and part self-confidence that he can back everything he says up, with force if necessary. Even when he's quiet and serious, he's loud because that's when he's most dangerous and everybody knows it. And Skull's is just that, a performance that turns into an inside joke with close friends but where Reborn stays theatric, Skull gets quieter the better you get to know him because he doesn't need to perform for you.
Verde and Viper are another set. They both have a drive to seek out knowledge, both take pride in their accomplishments, and both are highly ambitious. But Verde's focus is purely in concepts and facts and science to the point where he just doesn't care about most people and honestly I'm not sure he cares about sharing his knowledge outside of proving that he's the smartest guy in the room. Whereas Viper's focus is people, they want to know everything about everyone and they enjoy sharing that knowledge, but you have to know and understand what that knowledge is worth. It's much more of a game to them.
I said Colonnello was quiet, which makes me realize his pair is Fon. Colonnello is loud and jokey and a bro on the surface, but when he gets serious, he gets quiet. He's the one who taught Ryohei to be calm and take a break and just exist in the moment. He's a thinker to me, he has plans and backup plans and he assesses a situation instead of just reacting to it. Fon, however, is quiet and calm on the surface. His Wiki says that he's not easy to provoke but 3/4 of his signature moves are Exploding X. When he gets serious, he gets fast and overwhelming, you don't need to think out your plan of attack if you're powerful and fast enough to brute force it. And martial arts takes dedication to know and practice, but it's to develop the muscle memory that takes over in a fight.
Which leaves Luce and Lal. Both are women in a man's world, both are in positions of authority, both are highly respected in those positions, they both care, and they're both ruthless. And Lal rules through tough love, turns every piece of softness inward until it's too late and she's crying because her loved one is dead and she never told him how much she cared. While Luce rules through softness, owns it, buries every sharp piece of her deep inside until it's too late to notice before its buried deep in your skin because this is what must be done.
