#like don't get me started on how the precident for this is set because of the whole settlement rec center money laundering thing

[the-firebird69]

I'm thinking is that he's right that you people are too dangerous for him to be there and I report it I sent it in and I understood something it's not getting read correctly other things might not get read correctly. And I said to them you're not looking at things like they are and they said we haven't had success like this ever and he's using these morons to do it I said at least increase security and they said okay slowly. So I asked nuada and Ariana to say something and they said that he's right he's on his own and kicking everybody's ass and that's why it's working and he said what kind of ignorant slobs to not figure it out he's got some help and his cadre are fending people off and his kids who are not born yet are doing it he says it's illegal to allow it but it's working and nothing's ever worked and what would happen to him if nothing works and he sat down. And others heard it and said it too and then it felt small and they said that we've gone through this and he thinks he has to and it says it's a little different and he has support. But he has to use his power and we're blocking things with power and we could be masking stuff and they get upset so he decided to communicationally to figure out what's going on and at one point somebody said he might just be freeing himself. And everybody got a little upset and said he's free himself said yeah he can't do stuff like this in Boston and they agreed and that's what it is and you don't have to have idiots near him who are dangerous to do that what he's trying to do is get away from that and if he does it's going to reflect back with the backs and others are saying otherwise it won't. And I start to say something you like chastise again and harassing him it's like code being sent out someone's fishing with it and I got real mad and I said it's not just him doing it and we went to high gear so they're forcing it to happen but other things to apply that's basically what they're doing so I heard how long and who's forcing it how long is it going to last what else do the intend on forcing and I figured all that out and none it's very good looks into the max with some kind of real plan I started looking at it again and say this actually is a plan the dangerous to us and we start looking at it and it starts that way sometimes it goes into this big spiral and it really shouldn't if the macks are planning it. But it says why are we leaving it the way it is not why are they leaving that way and where are reasons and that's what we looked at and we don't have a great number of reasons for leaving stupid s*** around him and the clothes have a plan to put him back at Castle not the max and he says I don't know about that people are assholes and I get that and we think is right the max want to use it we don't want that. We decided and so did he and his wife Hera he is force on them cuz they were not doing anything and they were influencing it to happen. And we used some force and we got information and we have Intel and we needed all the time but we know what thier up to. There's a few more things to talk about but we're going to publish

They want to take over everything and because of this Precident you morons set and for some of their bulls they will try and put me in court and things like that in Massachusetts and then in DC which means that they quit I will probably won't invent a damn thing for them ever. And they even get me in court a little bit using you guys which is wrong you should be in court and not me and it should be paying me my money why the hell would I invent anything for them and the point is this that I would not it is probably get you all killed in the United Kingdom because the max have confidence that the machine can invent stuff for them that Dave and Carol built. They must know something I don't meaning that these wonderful ships and new drives and new metals and new weapons they were using computers to assist designing them. But the idea doesn't come from the robot and the basic engineering. That came for me so I'm still curious why they feel they can kidnap me isn't a method that was incriminate them and I looked at it further and thought they're fairly technical in their approach with code and props and disguise and that they have systems in place and I think they might imitate people that they haven't even seen and that might be their plan and Max have someone of an attitude that's similar and being distant and disciplinary and so the intend to try and fool me that's why there's Stoneships look like they do and Tommy f Stone chips don't look like ours.

Zues Hera they'll also imitate relatives who says and he says they probably have them on file and it's true they might do it using the matrix and control them that way get certain things done and to get certain things and I might even be a series of deceptions that they want to run him through the ring in the middle of first in the middle Mill it doesn't really want to do that it is what you crap crap asses copying him with your half-ass stuff too doesn't want that to happen

I'm going to make a note of this this is what it's like they plan to do that to him and it's starting to try and do it all the time every day with everything and the two guys in the Porsche we're thinking about it you've got him on the cross and watch they're looking for every little teeny thing and we know what that is and they're going to try him and arrest him cuz they're running around like us saying you don't know who we are there's a bunker is a separate from him either walk around they don't have to face it at all and they're going to get all their pants up energy from not capturing any of them and use it on this one poor guy as an act to say that his people now we understand what he's saying it wouldn't be easy and they might have stages and then they said this I don't think he's old enough to go through all that crap and he says I'm not old enough to tolerate it and I'm going to look for everything I can to see which way it is the first one that is not too difficult to tell it's not really time to my plan. And I can get them to admit it but I can't tell him and they said that sucks so they have to have a certain amount of power then they said this they want to force an act on him using his people and it made sense they said we have an ax and it sucks nobody wants to do it anymore now they don't and they said they don't want to do the act anymore and he said well including Island and eat each other every so that's not the point so they're sitting there thinking about it and they said I don't think that he would have to go through all that he's going to shoot his mouth off and a blow their plan and then they said he's going to point out what's wrong with it and I'm moving to the next step we will have those steps because we probably broken open by then and they went on and on and finally got to the point where they thought they could do it and they said I don't think we're in the right League and that's what he's going to say it's a very risky thing to do it says I'm forced to risk it now and it's not worked is it forced into the situation by the max and he says this is more of a rebel but those are fighting forces then he has a giant force and we've been doing that in their mind and they start talking again we're fighting each other we got a huge Force against us and we need like everybody to go after it and they started smiley and said that's what he's been saying so he says after a while I usually get it through but she's and that was Martin it's taken years I say slow down you're actually losing everything and he's finally slowing down and it's like the way it used to be except supercharged and now he's going to be poor and it's going to be awful. They both heard him say don't worry you're going to try to act when you're a bum and they said why not worry about that so I probably won't know who you are. When you've done it a few times already many times as forced by the empire and then they say this we don't look like those people and even his family look pretty good and they got hurt and he says anyways stuck in here is going to get hurt and it was awful they said we don't have power and we're in trouble so the ACT is one thing in survival is another and then going up and threatening our son doesn't help that's what the max want even though they have in store for him is a whole bunch of stupid things and he said I don't want to go through that and we have to win and he started helping a lot and she's with it too and she doesn't want him to go through that and or are people because it's a sign for them to be grabbed no everybody is paying attention and we should publish

Thor Freya

I've heard this before and it's true they don't really intend on helping him out and having to have a life to try and find this or that and they're kind of bums because of it and they don't see my perspective so they start seeing stuff but really if there's a big force in you're trying to fight him and stuff you need to have info and you don't have any and you don't care to have him have any kind of act that makes any sense except abuse and you're getting a massively abused from what you're doing you can't see anything so it's going to continue because of your personality flaws Max it's your innate traits I guess I'm being bombastic assholes. You will get beat up a lot and you'll pay for it and in a way it will make us more successful it's harder but it's much harder to be under the influence of Jasmine and for some reason you're absolutely clues about it completely coolest clueless just 100% out to lunch about that back daddy didn't look at it for point you suck at that part and it's the part that he's kind of lame about didn't do anything for like 10 years I have to wake him up and you're just see spasms who want to zap it with Taser all the time you just turn around and pull your head off I mean you're so dumb he feels violence and really other people because you chose that over satiating anyone it really is Erikson because we were used to hearing some of your men and they were sharp and our clans and they're controlling things and you're not and you think you're fully people and you're not and you're a bunch of little a****** kids who are demented in the bunker f****** around with everyone now you're going to get walloped and you deserve it you really do cuz you're impetuous swine you make people angry you thinking angry and come after you

Hera

Now let's say it let's say it like it is. These people don't understand how things were working for thousands of years and they think all this other junk it's the end times we don't care yeah we are surviving that long for a reason break your own back just like Trump you should be brought up on charges. Criminal negligence and ignorance is a crime in this realm and it's almost all you Max whoever the power this is disgusting it's not his fault at all he has to try and survive against ninnies we just go around talking people to do stuff it's only part of what I was having done and now it's all of it

Mac Daddy

I understanding something it seems like that and it might be that and it's crucial that he understands what he's doing is not going to put well and he doesn't give a s*** at all he says to shut my little kid's mouth you want to fight you're going to get a fight for the start to finish just like you're doing why would you get something else are you Trump you can't hear me you're f****** weasel. Just trying to say it was he's not listening and he says it sound just like them idiots I understand something you think we're sitting here getting you to fight us and it is that way. We didn't really ask for it to happen and it's not true you asked for a fight you're losing shortly and that's what you wanted to do and it's because you cut out some of the people like mac daddy and there must be more clams that you went after and you sound like the s*** heads who had this job to go around bothering people that something's wrong to make weapons come to being it's only a portion of the program he was right. I don't really need him to run any of it he's a sharp guy. So you're saying is we're dumb I'd say that single faceted and excruciatingly wrong in what you're doing to me and mine and constantly just repeating it like you're a retard because you have no results you press the same button is noxious and stupid. Then we have a different plan but okay. So you have a different plan and we have a different plan because obnoxious and stupid and you're playing in the beginning doesn't make any sense now cuz we plan on beating you the f****** death. I certainly get something they're going to destroy what we're doing and we put the blood out there in the water and it was us it would probably won't be able to stop them. I suppose you're right it seems single faceted and it's not just because of him he went around we stopped people who are stopping our aggression and our own people so now we're going to pay for our sins

Macs

You're damn right you will I just want to know who this is and it's not the Vikings it's you assholes from up North way up North it's not your Vikings and you're just s*** heads there's nothing to grab and you're running around grabbing stuff and yeah you're the Vikings and you're always as soon as you went after other people at least you're running things you shouldn't be

Mac Daddy

Olympus say goodbye Max and you're probably in California no it's probably the Carolinas they really s*** has yelling at everyone s********

the more i've been thinking about that last episode of gotchard the more im realising i have definitely gotten unhelpfully cynical about the shows we watch, but also im aware that i've gotten to be that way based on actual precident of disappointment

like since the beginning of gotchard i've been saying it was kind of weird how in this show about catching adorable mascot monsters and doing alchemy all of the malgams have been bank robbers and perverts and neglectful parents. but now we've had the serious tonal shift i'm realising that might have been laying the groundwork that there was a darker side to this setting, because if it had been all fun and games up to now then episode 12 would have felt really out of place

but. i guess this is the problem, is i just don't trust the initial setup episodes of kamen rider or super sentai to amount to anything anymore. even with geats, a show which i now hold in very high regard and consider to be the highpoint of the franchise in the last five years, it took until well past the halfway point for me to say it was actually good, because the whole time i was waiting for the ball to get dropped

and that's the real problem, is that i've seen the ball get dropped so many times before. if i were just being a little hater i could sit down and adjust my attitude to be more optimistic, but i've seen time and time and time and TIME again just how likely it is for the good ideas the show has at the start to be work junk by the end.

toeis production pipeline is pretty evidently a nightmare so i (mostly) don't blame the writers for how often it happens, but characters change and plot points get dropped and sometimes the whole framework of the show gets rewritten, and if you got attached to the version of the show you were presented with at the start thats too bad

zenkaiger got 10 episodes of character and world setup in then decided it was going to just be the gag season, donbrothers got increasingly obsessed with recurring bits over being a show with a plot, revice was about a dozen different shows by the time it finally managed to bring itself to a stop, and I've talked about it to death and back but it really can't be overstated how much harm to my trust 01 did by dropping almost all of what i'd come to love about it right at the very end

i guess the point here is its very hard to be hopeful about a new show after seeing it go wrong that many times, and its hard to assume that any of the things that pique your interest will actually lead anywhere without getting shredded by a major rewrite two months in

but none of thats to say im happy being so cynical and pessimistic about a show and a genre i do really love, so i guess the only thing i can do is try and be more hopeful, no matter how often it might very well lead me to disappointment. thats a very toku kind of thing to take away from thinking about all this

#sorry for textposting #long post #this is mostly just me trying to hammer out my own thoughts but i hope it helps to give you a look at my perspective #i feel like ive been acting a real hater not in the fun way lately and i dont like to come over that way

Really think it’s super understated exactly how much of the cult end of things is really Bev Keane’s idea and fault- and this is not to divert blame from John at all like the real heartbreaker is his complacency in all this but more on that later. Essay under the cut because jesus there is too much to sum up.

Like???? It’s not like he fuckin died the first time he encountered the angel I mean he got bit yeah but he took a shot of the blood and boom he was fine! And young again to boot! So obviously the original plan is to just pop back to crockett slip some blood in the communion wine and boom!!! Millie gets young again and cured of dementia so he gets a second chance to really have a life with her and their daughter and everything is fine!!!!

… but then he reaches critical mass (which I expect is because he was ingesting more of it than everyone else at too quick a rate). Bev and her little group are the only people who know the truth and watch him die and come back. Immediately she is quoting and using scripture to describe the changes that his body is going through- I mean he's basically Jesus!!! the Penultimate Biblical Miracle coming back from the dead!!- and therefore he chalks it up to “a matter of faith” and doesn't see a doctor (AKA HIS OWN SMART AS FUCK DAUGHTER WHICH HONESTLY HE SHOULD!!!!!) And so he goes with it!!! Until once again the thing he became got out of hand- and though he didn’t directly himself kill Joe but are certainly to blame for just fucking sucking at his head wound instead of… y’know… HELPING the guy bleeding out on the floor of his own goddamn home.

So then he’s done this this monsterous thing- which again is more a fault of his inaction than direct action- and doesn’t even know what to think of it to a point he’s numb to it (I mean jesus I cannot believe he felt no real guilt at all- sitting in a corner barely fucking lucid in a blood coma for hours until your deacon comes to find you because you're late for mass doesn’t scream no guilt no remorse to me it screams fucking mental blackout) but AGAIN!!! Here she comes. Speaking the words of his faith and calling what he went through a miracle from God and showing him bible passages detailing EXACTLY THE SHIT THAT HE’S GOING THROUGH so well if it’s in the scripture maybe it’s ok maybe it’s part of god’s plan for him sure he’ll bite. But note that even though he doesn't feel remorse for this thing he did anymore because Bev told him it's in the bible so it's ok that he's still on a pretty strict Sturge Blood diet- probably more likely than not to avoid another Joe Collie incident- so funny little contradiction but he's too wrapped up in this idea of new morality thanks to Bev he doesn't get it (and that it's more than likely a move to protect herself from getting Ate).

Then there’s Riley. Riley who he has such a great affection for who he thinks doesn’t deserve to die because even though he’s done terrible things he deserves a chance at redemption too- because like his savior he finds kinship with pariahs and knows they deserve love just as much if not more than everyone else. So *he* brings him back (I mean he wasn’t taking communion seeing as he wasn’t in a “state of grace” and didn’t believe anymore- so it’s safe to assume he made the decision through the blood lust to save him), and he has “The Meeting” and half of it is parroting the shit that Bev revealed to HIM about this condition that they now both share because really they’ve been on the level with each other since the beginning- but there’s another half that’s desperately attempting to show him that it’s worth living- even though he’s done awful things and will now inevitably do it again because it’s now a compulsion that neither of them can control. But he doesn’t want to chain Riley to him he’s more compassionate knows better than that. He’s explained all he can and sends him out with hope!!! He’s feeling good about the new covenant and the shift of morality he’s facing and he has Riley as an apostle to help tell that good news.

But then the sunrise comes. And he can feel it when he dies. HE feels it. Like god might feel every death and he can barely handle the ONE death of his old altar boy- his friend. And he doesn’t have more than a few hours to mourn before IN COMES BEV!!!! Again!!! And guess what. She was unfortunately *right*. Not about Riley himself he was worthy and given a gift as a result but right that he shouldn’t have just set him out into the world so recklessly not 100% knowing what he might do- that he might “spit it out”. And then she says “who knows who he talked to”- and suddenly the dynamic shifts. Small town news spreads. What if he tells someone who tells someone who tells MILLIE? Or Sarah? And Bev says “lets ‘share the miracle’ and ‘make easter vigil a night of baptism’”. And you know what? He didn’t listen the last time. He’s an adult and can admit when he was wrong. So he goes with it. Because he was wrong and because he can’t have another fuck up with someone he loves (let alone the LOVE of his LIFE who he is DOING THIS FOR in the FIRST PLACE). So most of the plan he hands over the reigns to Bev. And it’s short sighted as fuck but you gotta remember this plan goes into effect literally THE DAY OF so it’s all haphazard and a rushed effort and he’s rushing and bev and sturge and wade are rushing to make sure 1) no one can leave the island and die like Riley 2) so they can still attempt to have a meeting about the whole vampirism thing I mean he managed to handle riley pretty well and he didn’t fuck up and kill somebody like HE did!!! He managed to teach him some level of control!!!! So surely he can handle this!!!

BUT IN HIS SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS!!!! In his complacency with Bev’s plan guess what!!!! All fucking hell breaks loose!!!! THE SHIT HITS THE FAN!!!! Of course it didn’t go to plan because it was simply too much all at once and he could barely process anything else that happened before it there just wasn’t time because he just doesn’t want anyone else to die so of course he went with it!!!! And he only starts to realize he fucked up when the chaos is so bad that Millie- *his* MILLIE fucking SHOOTS him!!

And what did Bev gain from the shit hitting the fan??? A platform. At last. A place of leadership where she gets to decide who lives and who dies and who’s a sinner and who a saint. She gets to play god to a flock of wolves and that shit is Dangerous. And it’s not until he sees it that he finally snaps out of it and realized he got this all wrong and that what she was doing was wrong and that what she was leading him on with was *wrong* and that moment of clarity brings him back to his roots long enough to reconcile with his former lover tell his daughter the truth he's been hiding for years and try to be a real father to her in his final hours and finally attempt to be the shepherd he used to be that he always *was* to the broken people that Bev would so easily cast aside because her idea of love from God is very different from his. And at least he knows that before the end and ends up seeking forgiveness from the one person who actually mattered that he needed reassurance and guidance and forgiveness from all along but couldn’t have had the whole goddamn time.
