Tad 4 theory: The main theme of the movie
My brain: Seriously, already??? The movie comes out in-
Shhhhh, it's never too early to cook.
It's not that deep but I'm just wondering what is the main theme of Tadeo Jones 4. We know the group will travel to the past and make it to their present before it's too late.
Maybe the theme will be something about "letting your past go and focusing on what you have in the present" and I could be wrong, but this is a lesson that it will most likely affect not Tad, but MUMMY the most.
Yes, Tad may have some other issues to resolve that we don't know about. Maybe he's going to marry Sara and he's sad his parents (and probably his granny) aren't with him while Sara has her father still present.
Maybe Ramona has also something to say regarding her tragic past and how it was unfair her reign only lasted 3 days or maybe even Sara has some problems regarding her past, be with her father or Victoria or who-knows-who.
But it is Mummy the one who is going to make the wish...
Why? As seeing this is going to be the funniest movie of the franchise, I think I can't have some sad undertones. It could be he isn't making the wish for him, but for his friends.
Maybe he want Tad to encounter his parents or for Sara, her mother.
Maybe he want to take Ramona to her era when Egypt was great so she can see her subjects again (she mentioned at the end of the third movie that she misses them)
Or maybe he just wants to randomly travel through time so he and his friends could see past events that were only recorded in books. It would be interesting if the "travel between time" is decided on whoever holds the lamp or maybe they get a travel machine or a clock or something.
Would be interesting if Mummy didn't even say where/when he wants to travel and the magic of the lamp just transports him to the time he was alive because... lore and stuff, but I think this won't happen.
Also Mummy will finally had to confront his mistakes for once because he was partially responsible for the curse of the third movie. He unleashed Hermes from his chains, made more easy to the police to follow his friends and destroyed the Mona Lisa, but never said "I'm sorry"
He was probably sorry, but the movie didn't show that. And now that his wish is going to reshape the world as they (and we) know it, he is finally going to realize that "yes, I messed up big time and it's my fault"
We still don't know if someone (coughTad) motivated him to make the wish, but he still did it, and the reasons behind that peculiar wish could be more deep than the others realize.
Back with the theme of letting your past go, maybe if they DO have a villain in that movie they could be motivated by the fact that they can't and WON'T let their past go. Probably if there's a genie inside the lamo, it could be their case as part of their backstory.
Or maybe some of the funny characters they meet in the past have their own reasons as to why they cling to the past, and some will let it go, while others (the villains/antagonists) don't.
The possibilities are endless. But I'm pretty sure the lesson would be something related to the past and not let that define you (kind of like Kung Fu Panda 2, but less serious and more funny)

You know I have a theory about Tadeo jones 2
@kimjimagery @araminakilla @shields-and-depthgauges-oh-my @tadeojonesmemes
We know that in tad 2, they were going to go to turkey, so tad get themselves a cruise ship
But he meant a small ship…
What if tad gets seasick on a cruise ship?
And how did he managed to survive on the small ship without getting himself seasick?
Maybe someone gave him sea sickness medicine for him.
But I’m pretty sure his stomach was not going to handle a lot of traveling on a cruise ship on sea to turkey.

I never fully noticed it until now but have you ever noticed how in the third movie Tad and Sara are always physically touching each when they are together?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My theory;
The second movie they do physically touch each other
For Sara she missed Tad.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For Tad when Sara was kidnapper he was worried and when he got her back he has more physically contact with her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then the the moment when Sara turned to gold devastated him. And when He broke the spell he was overjoyed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So after the events of the second movie it must have triggered some kind of PTSD from both Tad and Sara and ever since that event they always end up physically touching each other either by face or by the arm as a means of coping or reflex.

I have some theories about Tadeo jones 4
But what we really want to know if we will ever get a female villain.
We have three male villains, if they ever make up a female villain, I'm going to be so hyped.
And yes we need Tiffany maze and Freddy back, along with professor lavorff, professor Humbert even the taxi driver, man I wish these guys made a comeback along with some new characters
But I felt very bad for tad. Because for alot of stress and anxiety he had since the third film. And I'm worried if he ever had a stomachache/ upset stomach. If someone gets too much stress and anxiety, they probably might have stomach issues
i remember it was actually mummy who is confirmed to have that stomach issue when he's nervous lol but hmm yeah and tiffany could have so much more too, i think but something feels lacking to her. i missed freddy but i dunno if the creator can see what to do with him other than being comic relief (same issue with mummy, sigh) i do agree i wanna see a female villain like the one in tad3 concept art

Do you think that in the Tadeo Jones universe, some people (average or rich people) think living mummies aren't persons but some creatures they can capture and claim as their own 'cuz they have no rights? (as mentioned by Tad in Movie 2) Kind of like the Apex's view of denizens in IT. I think this could be adressed in Tad 3. But I'll be sad because Mummy is going to find the hard way that for powerful people, his feelings and opinions doesn't matter (Twice, if we count the Spanish conquista)
Ohhhh man!
I have been-- stewing over how best to answer this since I saw it yesterday, because part of me has IDEAS-- the other part has a rant that has kind of been building for a while in general when you just examine the movies and the setting and even the actual community represented in reality(that being Archaeologists not-- well)
And LOOK-- I have TEA!
Frustrated, frustrated tea regarding other aspects of how this all could play out that basically boils down to the one major issue that a lot of those groups has is the issue of "But WE all know!" and the we've boxed this in already.
Which-- Debatably, Tad isn't the only one with some issues... But Sara has-- at least insofar as her reactions to Mummy in movie 2, come to terms past her more nebulous in concept repeated line.
Tumblr media
"Mummies can't be alive, it's a contradiction in terms" 
Which-- actually might be an issue that's just on the question of the life/death binary more than it is actually a question of whether someone is human/a person or not. And we ALL know she's definitely got Major Respect over Tad--
Like, I will write a proper analysis over their "Mummy gives advice/pep talk" scenes later-- but--
Sara doesn't just take it and run how Tadeo does-- and she doesn't get hyped about it either. It's soft and subtle and just ARGH--
--
Which, okay beside the point, but I have-- so much on this idea of how people view Mummy-- Because let's for a moment consider what Tad actually says-- in answer to Mummy's "What is with you?" and I want to also talk on what people tend to associate with and call monsters... and how... that might also factor into this whole mess.
Tumblr media
"Listen you're a mummy, you scare people. In my world you're a zombie!"
Which-- okay, on the surface this is just an on the nose point about how well, Mummy is undead. Ahahah, the living dead and I suppose living mummies are their own form of zombie-- although really it's more like they're cousins as zombies are usually more... in process of decay while mummies are preserved/petrified... Buuuut in any case... not the point here really.
But rather...
Let's talk about how "Monster Movies" come in here. And what zombies tend to be synonymous with nowadays. You know-- for the most part. Mindless, brainless, sometimes killers though not always-- But ultimately-- Does... anyone actually watch zombie shows for in-depth exploration of zombies ever anymore? Aside a few exceptions, and same in games-- Zombies are relegated to just brainless/mindless monsters.
Which--
On the other side of that-- monsters.
Tad never quite uses that word but--
Tumblr media
"First, you're not human"
Mummies-- are monsters. In stories and fiction. Used to scare, used to awe, used to add scenery dressing, spooky, freaky, creepy-- and when they're not-- well it's rare. But if they're not the villains, they're not "human". Which think about that for a moment, in all the monster stories we have but a few where the monsters aren't outright put in that position.
But a monster is usually in a story put into one role and box. And if they're not outright there just to be spooky, or the whole new misunderstood monster trope-- which well, that's a whole other thing. But we all know the usual "monster shtick".
Violent, scary, simple, dumb, driven by base impulses, nonhuman, Very, very often as lesser, other, and something to be feared/hunted/destroyed.
And while modern day does move away from that--
ISSUES still prevail.
And I have-- just got to aside here, but like, thinking on this but-- the Phone Mummy sign outside of Tad's window as a child has some... other weird things. Because as a wild aside, my dumb brain has decided to A - B link this with a series I watched on television from 2005-2007
Tumblr media
Because of THIS stupid Mummy Scam Artist character. And it's dumb, has nothing to do with the issue of mummies(and other potential beings and creatures of myth and legend) having less rights. But this whole phone billboard-- with the Mummy, it's legit right up this character's kind of scam alley and I may or may not one day just rewatch his two villain episodes to get his personality clear in my head JUST to do a dumb crossover.(And for nostalgia, but that's not news)
BUT--
Advertising does tell us some things already. In how people possibly think and could respond/react.
Yet still-- there is something more I think that we're missing in this conversation on how people will potentially treat the discovery of a living mummy. Or really any supernatural being. If not with fear(which look-- fear the unknown, fear different, fear of monsters), arguably those who're intrigued, interested could be far, far worse.
Also-- I just have, much tea on other responses for even those who might briefly "respect" him. Because look-- Mummy would be a priceless artefact in a way, treasure and discovery all on his own-- BUT also a new potential source of information of a culture that for the most part has been lost and erased by history.
People could and would ask questions.
Whiiich is where I have doubts about how they will accept the answers to those questions. Because here's the thing, for all the Archaeology community loves to act as if they let discoveries speak for themselves, and even I suppose historians-- There are just-- so many times I watch and listen to documentaries and get SO FRUSTRATED-- because they're stubborn IDIOTS, who actually refuse to take in the evidence in front of them of any truths outside of what they're SO SURE has to be the TRUTH!
For those who speak of learning all about history and it's secrets, they're so damn high and mighty to reject anything that doesn't immediately fit with already established "facts". It must be an anomaly, aliens, can't be what we're actually seeing right--
And well even people today interacting-- Like-- I've seen people try to correct someone on the pronunciation of their own name before.
So I am almost certain there would be at least one idiot who'd be all high and mighty and just-- Mummy has LIVED it. It's his culture he grew up in and some idiot speaking over him saying his lying, which I just-- I am certain would happen(but probably not in canon because who would DARE?!)-- Just "EXCUSE ME?!"
Which is it's own kind of disrespect and hell, crash Tad's pillars again. Yes please!
Which... on that account--
Tumblr media
I kiiiind of want to talk about how Tad needs a smack on this... and that wake up to the truths of the high and mighty and bloody prideful issues of the community. BUT more than that-- I actually want to think about that point you made about how Mummy's supposed transformation in movie 3 comes across and the further themes of this question of humanity and rights is in regards to this whole issue.
Because yeah, there's the issue, front and CENTER.
Tumblr media
The question/implication of this resembling Ammut, and implied loss of humanity. Along with the fact that Tad's the likely TRUE CENTER of the curse-- since he's the idiot who opened the sarcophagus in the first place...
WHICH CAN I JUST SAY--
There's a very good possibility in regards to that issue-- potentially having to do with some of Tad's more... subtle issues. Or even the ones that are close to the surface and yet not. I've screamed already on Tadeo's Internalized Ableism... along with some small nods to Mummy's own less severe cast with that but-- This is directly playing into that image of monsters and nonhumanity--
And I could probably add an additional few pages of speculation onto this but--
I actually am... also worried for the pets. If only because uhhh, have you seen the original two Tadeo Jones shorts from before it become movies? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XxhNMbpE2A & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoJBzI2AUOw
I mean not assuming anything, but I can definitely believe they wouldn't be above having that threat present at the least.(I mean just that second one... with what I guess is concept-Jeff) Even if Mummy is most definitely going to be the one at the MOST RISK. But with that-- comes the question of humanity.
And while yeah-- I do imagine, all too easily there will be many people more focused on the discovery-- I think there's an interesting mess that Tadeo is going to be FORCED to confront with this-- in how he has that displaced view.
Because here's the weird thing.
I've kind of mentioned it before but not really expanded or explained very clearly-- but for all of Tad's issues... he cares about Mummy probably more than he even really realizes. It's in small to big things as well. Again-- for all his trash behaviour in movie 2, I do think a lot of it is very, very misplaced attempts at some form of protection...
Which I also really want to at some point make a post that's just...
"Tad's I'm Helping moments and how they made things worse for everyone"
But that's for later... For now...
I kind of want to grab a few things.
Tumblr media
"You're already dead, RUN!"
Tumblr media
I also actually counted how quickly he ran back to Mummy for this moment, and it's LITERALLY two seconds, from when Mummy collapses to Tadeo's check on him. Also I'd like to mention with this-- he's supposedly tunnel visioning on Sara(and he ruins it within the next scene pretty quickly)
...
And for all they're kind of dumb decisions.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DEBATABLY-- when he's trying to hide Mummy.
"Hide"
Ugh-- BUT Tadeo has a very... complicated issue here really. Because yes-- Tad very much has that nonhuman issue, but he CARES. And then-- there's how the whole Ammut thing feels set and the symbolic meaning there(ALSO INTERESTING SARA SEEMINGLY ISN'T CAUGHT BY THAT). But here's the thing--
With Ammut kiiind of come those scales and the feather.
It's not like that mythology isn't unknown-- but more to the point-- it feels kind of like force Tad to confront his mixed up view. On Mummy's humanity or lack of-- But really as the audience Mummy feels the most human at this point in time-- whiiich we can get into a debate on what even is human nature later-- but--
I am kind of hoping that we get a callout of a number of things regarding Tad's behaviour.
With some primary focus on this dynamic between him and Mummy and really seeing how he responds to that idea that Mummy is nonhuman to really be thrown into full view and scope. And listen...
You cannot cheat the scales.
...
As an aside generally, if he is turning into a form or version of Ammut even if initially the community is a danger because he's a living mummy that creates a whole other issue of how he'd be viewed as a danger due to the role that's possibly growing more and more of an instinct.
But yeah... I will probably now make a more formulated rant on this later, or like, minor expansions on the topic but-- yeah.
I have been CHEWING on these thoughts, ideas and concepts for a while.
With additional tea. Because when people think they know something too often they refuse to see differently.
(Also at some point I am going to make a personal rant on duality verses binary due to insistent terminology issues I have but ugh)

Two Tadeo Jones posts in one day? Yeah, why not? It's the tenth anniversary of the first movie releasing on theaters after all. Now we got, 2D characters!
instagram
Let's start with...
Tumblr media
Pharaoh Keops! (Queen Ra Amon Ah's ancestor?) and a giant guard.
Tumblr media
Napoleon Bonaparte and Dominique! So he was the man seen in that Egypt potrait on Victoria's house.
Tumblr media
The one and only Hermes. Heh, he's pulling a Peridot in the first image.
Tumblr media
The many movements of Keops. He gives me Kuzco vibes, but egyptian. So... Incan Mummy vibes when he was alive? Maybe?
Tumblr media
Hermes having its on chart of movements is also great to see. I wonder if he is going to do all the movements shown here in the image.
Tumblr media
The many conquerors who seached for the Emerald Tablet in life but couldn't find it. Julio Cesar, Marc Anthony and... SHAN YU IS THAT YOU???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Don't let Blitzo to see these bad boys. They could be the many versions of Napoleon's horse, or Keops' horse.
Now the thing is...
Is pharaoh Keops mummified? Kept in a museum? Lost? Stoled?
Because looking at this monument, the face looks different from the ones seen in other statues in the movie.
Not gonna lie, it looks like... the face of a mummy (except he has ears, but mummy Hermes has ears too so)
Tumblr media
And considering that is near the pyramid of Keops where our characters manage to escape. I wonder...
Was pharaoh Keops meant to be the male mummy who was going to team up with Tad and our Mummy?
Because he would have seen first hand what the tablet did when he was alive. Plus, Hermes worked for him. That guy looks like a total diva which... fair he was a pharaoh. How would have a dynamic between Keops and Mummy work?
It could have been a case of "The girls are fighting!"
Who knows? Maybe there's a concept art of mummy Keops somewhere.

Day 45: "Si tú me llamas" preview
A little sneak peak of the song was released three days before its official debut, here it is:
The lyrics so far are:
If you look at me (?), I lose myself
like the sand in the desert
If you call me
for you I would climb the highest pyramid
(Upbeat music)
So far... I like it! Despite the autotune and the election of singers, the melody is very catchy. It represents the spirit of the film very well, as they said.
At first I was like "What is this?" but after listening for the third (or thirty?) time it really captured my attention. This could be better than "Te voy a esperar"
Now, little reviews of the sneak peeks:
Tumblr media
Seems like the scene after Tad was fired by Ryan. Sara is trying to console him, maybe saying that he doesn't need Ryan's approval and that he is just as important as anybody in the camp. Tad of course doesn't believe this.
Tumblr media
Are those agents... shooting at them?
They are shooting at them!
They try to take down the mummies, and they don't even care there's a human among them!
Of course we by this point know Tad is a menace to ancient artifacts and museums, but that doesn't justify trying to shoot him.
Mummy is guiding Ramona to safety by... holding her hand???
I think it is her wrist actually, while Ra-Amon-Ah is looking at their hands, rather perplexed? Like, "why is he touching me?" or something like that.
For the boat behind them, this occurs after they arrive to Egypt and the peaceful journey is ruined by the agents.
And where is Sara? Still in Paris? Is she traveling with Ryan and his group?
Tumblr media
Also, is it just me or after falling behind the rock, Mummy has a devastated/shocked face, as it having flashbacks of past events?
Maybe it's just me.
Tumblr media
More of the red lightsaber scene. Mummy knows how to make a dramatic entrance.
Tumblr media
New fear unlocked: Beljeff.
Also the bathtub!
Welcome to the "scared mummy club" Ramona. So far you and Mummy are the only integrants.
Tumblr media
Tad & mummies running away from the international police. This should be fun... for us, not for them.
Tumblr media
The Indiana Jones reference, except it is a Earth globe instead of a rock.
Run Tad! If you don't conquer the world then the world shall conquer you.
Tumblr media
So, *clears throat* yeah.
How do I even begin to describe this scene?
Oh! I know.
I will let this gif speak for me:
Tumblr media
Rip Tadeo Jones. You will be missed.

Day 17: More foreshadowing?
This post is about the Tad's instagram and his latest post:
Tumblr media
WHAT WE LOST IN SUMMER
[Tad: And what have you lost? This summer I have to locate the emerald table 🤭]
[Mummy: It's clear. The phone 😂]
We know technically Tad hasn't lost the emerald table at the beggining (unless it gets lost later) but I'm thinking... what if he loses some of those things and this post is actually foreshadowing what he is going to lose in the third movie.
We saw his backpack in that Mexico clip, so it's going to appear, but will it get lost at some point? Is that going to be important to the plot? Or maybe the keys get lost? Dunno if the sunglasses are important but who knows?
Mummy actually foreshadowed in his Twitter his relationship with credit cards before his introduction image confirmed that "you shouldn't give him your credit card" so this instagram post could be another way to give us little clues for the third movie.
Speaking about Mummy, he said in that comment he lost his phone.
Hmmmmm. And that phone in the image actually belongs to Mummy, not Tad. Could it be...?
We don't see Mummy using his phone in Egypt in the screenshots nor in the clips and promotions. Even when he found that waterfall place "lit" he didn't take a picture of it or a selfie which is the most obvious thing Mummy would do.
This could indicate that in Paris, Mummy lost his phone.
Or most likely...
Tad made Mummy lost his phone.
Mummy is very attached to that thing, specially because he's recording everywhere he goes. And that's the problem, they are being persecuted by the police and Mummy is practically giving them their head on a silver plate even if that's not his intention.
Not to mention that in a clip in the sewers, Mummy says that to be a hit online, you should be very active and suddenly he gets very excited as a new person started to follow him.
We know by this point that Pickles is at best incompetent, so it's possible that the new follower is Agent Ramirez (or someone from the military passing as a common person) and obviously, Tad panics as he throws Mummy's phone and starts to shout at him about "how are you so stupid/idiotic/careless, now they know where we are!" and Mummy, being devastated for losing his phone to the sewers or Tad scolding him (or maybe both things) starts to transform into Ammit and the rest is history.
Did I make a whole theory about a summer post? Yes, yes I did.
But I still find very weird that Mummy doesn't have his phone in Egypt. But still:
Tad throwing Mummy's phone into the sewers in a fit of anger and worry >>>>>> Mummy being so clumsy that his phone falls into the sewers.

Day 20: Sam Pickles' role in the movie
I wantto talk about him. This guy, who we know so far is a not so great investigator as he likes to think, is another enigma in the movie.
Really doubt that he and Ramirez won't know about the mummies' existence by the end of the movie.
Tumblr media
We know from the screenshot that Ramirez will let them go, knowing at the end that all was a misunderstanding and Tad is not a criminal.
But what about Pickles?
Tumblr media
Even at the end of the movie, I doubt that the american officer will be able to let them go that easy. I don't know how will be possible for the movie to deal with his beliefs about Tad and the mummies being a danger unless that the writing will fall flat at that point.
Maybe Ramirez will have to deal with Pickles one last time before quitting the case, whenever he likes it or not.
If the franchise is meant to continue and possibly have a series in sight if everything goes smoothly, then that would require an antagonist.
And what better antagonist that the officer who lost the case because his partner decide to let the culprits go? After all Tad somehow destroyed the Chicago museum and Mummy vandalized the Mona Lisa.
Tumblr media
And that's another point. How is he going to interact with Mummy? What will be his opinion of him? Ramirez seems to be more conscious of the two, so she probably won't mind him wandering around as long as he doesn't cause problems. Pickles on the other hand... if Mummy stays with Tad in the human world, he will be staying in USA, his country. So he would excuse himself as someone trying to protect his country for possible undead menaces.
Tumblr media
It would make sense for him to be an antagonist in a future Tad or Mummy proyect given things aren't all peace and sunshine with him at the end. Which could develop in him sometimes being allies with the group for a greater good.
One more little thing which is a funny (?) coincidence. Incas had a long rivalty with Conquistadors and sometimes they became allies for specific reasons like short treaties or some wars. Spanish Conquistadors used to ride horses.
And what form does Pickles' pen has?
Tumblr media
Exactly.

Day 2: THEY KNOW!? (aka, monsters among us)
Before explaining what does the tittle mean and who are "they", here is a new clip of the movie with Sara, Pickles and we finally hear what Ramirez sounds like in the original dub (it's beautiful):
(Sara arrives at the Louvre Museum. She gasps as she sees all the mess outside)
Reporter 1: Tad Stones strikes again. First Chicago and now Paris.
Reporter 2: The french police joins the persecution of the dangerous criminal Tad Stones.
Reporter 3: Vampires, zombies, aliens. Are they living among us?
Agent Pickles (looking at the "fixed" Mona Lisa): Ah. There are people who only want to see the world burn (sneezes)
Agent Ramirez: Pickles, look at this.
Pickles: Oh, how I want to capture that Stones and apply him the key to sleep.
Ramirez: (sighs) Listen. They are going to the Nile's waterfall. We should alert-
Pickles: (not listening) The key to sleep Ramirez is the first thing you learn at the CIA. One touch on a vital point and the enemy falls unconscious.
Ramirez: Can you do me the favor to listen!? And you can't eat here!
Pickles: Seriously? (he eats the croissant entirely) Problem solved. (sneezes again)
The Mona Lisa: *is ruined again*
Ramirez: (sees the painting and gasps)
Pickles: Ah (looks at Ramirez, guilty)
-----------------------------------------------
So, to resume: Tad is considered an international dangerous criminal, the agents are there after they failed to capture the team (with Pickles being sick for falling into the water), Ramirez founds out about the group's journey thanks to Mummy's account, Pickles is in his own world (or his own case) and...
The reporter mentioned something about monsters hidding in plain sight!?
Tumblr media
This guy (who I suppose is paranormal TV host Iker Jimenez's cameo) just dropped what we could considerate a massive bomb on us and what could change the franchise forever.
People have seen the mummies, people have recognized as real monsters. There is a TV channel that is broadcasting other types of monsters to possibly live among them. People got curious about the unknow that they are debating whenever this is true or not. And if it's confirmed at the end that it's true?
What does that mean for Victoria Moon? Will her TV show increase in ratings? For the mummies, are they going to expose themselves to the human world?
For people like Rackham, Max or Oddyseus, does that mean free cash is on their way and will take advantage of the fact that monsters don't have rights that could protect them?
Gente, this is getting out of hand, in a really good way. I hope things don't get on the status quo of "cool costume, special effects or it was bait all along" becuase the concept of monsters being a minority in a world full of humans sounds promising. Also the fact the there could be more monsters out there who are just hidding. Maybe they will start to come out after the mummies reveal themselves to the public. Maybe one of said monsters is the antagonist or villain of the fourth movie.
Again, they have the potential. Crossing fingers the crew recognize it as well.

Day 4: Tad grows as a person according to spanish review
Just found an amazing and very interesting review about the third movie:
Here's an extract of what it says:
Review: Tadeo Jones 3: The Emerald Tablet
[The greatest adventure of Tadeo Jones, not because of the variety of scenarios covered, but because of the clear internal evolution of the character.]
[To achieve the goal, the production headed by Enrique Gato remains faithful to the essence of the character in every way. That is, in the virtues of the protagonist, who is as noble and courageous as from the beginning, but also in his weaknesses, such as the insecurities that afflict him.]
[Much has been said that this film is the greatest adventure in the entire history of the franchise, which it is, but not only because of its global character that has been talked about so much and that includes a visit to Mexico, France and Egypt. Rather because it allows us to appreciate how much the franchise has matured in its intentions.]
[Tadeo Jones 3: The Emerald Tablet , like the films that came before it, remains a predominantly family adventure. This has never prevented him from addressing universal themes such as friendship, loyalty and especially the search for dreams, all of which are decisive for the success of the project.]
[But this Tadeo is different. It is seen as more complex and therefore more human , with frustrations that lead him to make mistakes, many of which result in funny gags –it is not a spoiler to say that, as is tradition, his discoveries leave a lot of destruction in their wake–, but with others who make him hurt those he loves most. And this is where one of the greatest assets of this new installment lies, with an archaeologist who ends up discovering that the greatest treasures of humanity are not those that are exhibited in museums, but those that we enjoy on a daily basis with people around us.]
[For this, the script considerably increases the role of Mummy. It is still a comic relief, but it is also a clear satire on the alienation caused by mobile phones, social networks and consumerism and the countless stimuli of the contemporary world. These obsessions will result in more missteps than the character has accustomed us to, but without losing that endearing character that has made him a great sidekick.]
[Although Sara's role is significantly reduced, something that is very evident in the first half of the film, the female role is in good hands with the incorporation of Ra-Amon-Ah. She is about an Egyptian mummy who does not start from the need to complement her Inca counterpart, but to help the titular hero in her mission. More significant is the construction of her, as she is a sovereign in search of the recognition that history has denied her so much and that skillfully captures the situation of so many women whose invaluable legacies have been unfairly blurred over time.]
-----------------------------------------------
What can I say? I love everything about this review. Loving how he is interpreting all the phone gags as a satire of modern technology and how it socially affect us and not saying "oh great, another movie with millenial jokes"
How he recognizes Ramona's struggle as something many women from the past suffered and who are just being discovered after years of unfair covering.
And how it seems obvious what are Tad's strenghts and weaknesses. Also they mentioned loyalty. Interesting... we know Mummy is 100% loyal to Tad and only changes after being forced to be a beast at the final fight. So the question is, what loyalty is at risk? Uh, Tad Stones, what are you going to do?
Anyway, the undead friend vs cool archeologists' approval carries more meaning taking into account that Mummy is, well... a mummy. A discovery of his own and the key to the Paititi.
And Tad deciding at the end that "screw fame! I only want for my friend to be by my side, to be happy and not exposed in a prestigious museum" is the endgame.
We just have to wait for the serious moments, the possible betrayals and the recontiliation of the dynamic duo.
Can't believe I'm more interested in that than the final battle. But considering this is an emotional battle, it could be as or more interesting than the magical battle.
Bonus: Mummy being a critic to the Mona Lisa aka Live Mummy reaction

Day 5: You've been hit by, a smooth 2D (and parallels)
This gif is from a oittle promo of the upcoming movie in which we can apreciate many well known scenes, but there is one who stands out for being different from the rest of the animation:
Tumblr media
Hermes, as a human, in smooth 2D like in the Paititi backstory!
And I'm not just saying that it is like the Golden Incan Idol's creation because of the very gorgeous animation, but...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Incan Chief 🤝🏼 Hermes
Be awesome and very cool looking while fabricating magical artifacts of doom.
Which makes me think... if the Incan priest seen in the flashback turns out to be Mummy the whole time, then it could be one of the reasons he decided to free mummy Hermes in the museum.
Tumblr media
Don't know why, but I really want the case to be that somehow, Mummy feels a kinship with the trapped Hermes.
It could be that he doesn't like to see a chained mummy, as it reminds him of his time in prision at the end of the sequel or maybe he feels "There is something about this guy... I don't know what it is. I'm going to free him"
Tumblr media
Because to be fair, if he was the one who told Pachamama to make the incan idol and Hermes received help from his own gods to create the tablet, then these two mummies have a lot in common without realizing it.
Or maybe Mummy thinks he has been wrongly accused, entombed and exiled from his home, just like him. Maybe he thinks Hermes didn't do something wrong and he kind of proyects himself with the tiny mummy sorcerer.
"If I got a chance, then this guy should get a chance too, right?"
Tumblr media
Wrong, wrong, wrong... mal. Because the only thing Mummy gets from Hermes is not a "thank you" but a "***k you" via a curse that is slowly consuming him.
Tumblr media
Seems like Mummy 'lives' by the "no good deed goes unpunishment" without knowing it. Or maybe he knows, but just continues to do the right thing even if it gets to affect him in a negative way.
That would be a great trait for him to have, instead of just "Yada yada, making shenanigans just because script says so. Oh? A chained mummy? You're free!" like I fear greatly.
As said before, Mummy is a wild card. You never know how the guy is going to (re)act, but that doesn't mean his actions don't have a context behind.

Day 38: ¿¡Como están Latinoamericaaaaa!?
Finally, FINALLY we have excellent news about Tad 3's premiere not only in Mexico, but all Latinoamerica. It releases on September 15th. But that's not all...
Here's a video with more scenes from the movie (in its original spanish, btw)
Here we have the first spoken words of Victoria Moon and how it looks like Tad's main concern is to cure his friend Mummy and not get famous (at least for the moment)
Also how Victoria mentions there's "a lot of freaks around the world" makes way for some supernatural creatures apart from the Incan mummies, the egyptian mummies and that scrapped Midas ghost seen in concept arts. Maybe if Mummy gets a spin-off he could meet some of them?
Speaking about recent videos, there's also two new trailers for Latinoamerica on Youtube and... great news. It is exactly like the one from the english dub and the movie here is called "The Curse of the Mummy" instead of the "Emerald Tablet" which is a great decision in my opinion (some sources are calling it "The Legend of the Mummy" incorrectly but that's a cool name too so I don't mind)
Now, about the Latinoamerican voices:
The voice of Tad is the same as the other two movies so that's fine. For some reason in the trailer Belinda isn't voicing Sara like in the first movie, but the voice sounds like the VA for the sequel which is odd considering they called her to sing a song again and it wouldn't make sense for her to be there and also not be there.
Except for the fact that they are contrating more influencers for the latino dub.
Which yeah, many could and will protest because "Agh! They ruined the Bad Guys with all the star talent they put there". Okay, fine, that was kind of a disaster, but guys... I have a good feeling about this cast.
Starting with Cristina Dacosta who voices Ra-Amon-Ah or "Ramona"
Tumblr media
She is a youtuber from Venezuela who has a lot of views on her channel and many followers on Twitter. She seems like a nice woman and her voice as Ramona is great. She sounds like a lost sister of Cleo and Nefera De Nile. Royal, kind of bratty but also smart.
And then there's Mummy's voice. At first when I saw the trailer I thought "Is he voiced by Adrián Uribe again? because he sounds like him but it's not him" he has the same deep but also high voice that the one from the sequel, except from the last part where Mummy is in Sara's arms with a cocodrile head and says "That was cool" where he sounds like a young man.
And that's the case because...
Tumblr media
This guy is the new voice of Mummy.
Juan Bertheau, a mexican youtuber and influencer with more than one million of followers on Twitter and many more in other web plataforms.
So with him there has been three voice actors for Mummy in Latinoamerica, one for each movie.
The first one was Moises Ivan Mora, who gave him a high pitched voice.
The second one was Adrian Uribe, who tried to do a non-binary voice.
The third one is Juan Bertheau, so I guess something had to happen to Mr. Uribe that he couldn't reprise the role.
I have two explanations: One, Mr. Uribe had a surgery months after the sequel premiered on Mexico and he had many sore throats trying to do Mummy's voice, so the company decided to look for someone more young for the role.
Tumblr media
Two, since Juan is an influencer in real life, it makes sense for him to voice Mummy as he has become an influencer in the movie too. The parts where he is going to stream on his phone are going to sound so natural for Mr. Bertheau, and he has a tone of voice similar to the one from the sequel, except that he has no problem doing it the times it requires for the recording of the movie.
And let's look at the bright side of things, at least they didn't cast Bad Bunny as Mummy. That would have been the end of me for sure.
EDIT: In the english dub, Sara says "Come on, before it's too late" and Ramona says in the trailer "I want to see the world" while in the Latinoamerican dub, Sara says "Listen to me, before it's too late" and Ramona says "I want to conquer the world" so... I wonder the implication of both sentences.

Day 35: 🎶 La Seine, la Seine, la Seine 🎶
First clip of the movie thanks to the Tumblr blogs of @sastiorn and also @shields-and-depthgauges-oh-my for posting it. Because we are only 5 weeks away from the premiere of the movie in Spain, they are releasing little sneak peeks of the third movie. Maybe we will get more of them in the following Fridays or earlier than that.
Anyway, I just LOVED the clip and all the implications it carries in less than 40 seconds. Like boy, those were some intense 40 seconds.
I will explain why in three words:
Police vs Mummy
Should we also include Tad, Jeffzoni and Ra-Amon-Ah as well? Yes, but also no.
Why? Because he is according to the director, a VERY important character in the third movie and according to french sources, Tad has his main nemesis in Ryan, the leader of the mighty trio of archeologists.
Of couse, the agents and the curse are a problem to him too but guys... everything is indication they are Mummy's main problem.
Incan mummy has the curse on him, he's the one who is battling to not let it take over him and it looks like he's losing forces to keep it at bay.
Tumblr media
Pickles and Ramirez are following his account and being involved in his possible capture (especially Mr. Pickles, but that's a theme for another post)
After the Louvre incident, they have a very good reason to arrest him: the Mona Lisa being vandalized.
But something else has to happen for them to call the army, maybe they saw him transform into Ammit before arriving to Egypt.
In their eyes, they are doing a great favor to the world by eliminating this monster. They don't really see the content Mummy posted online.
At least is confirmed Agent Pickles just is seeing a monster, a potencial menace trying to hide with a phone filter.
Tumblr media
It is possible this image is the first time the group encounter the french police (after the agents failed to reach them on land) and some police officer says on a megaphone they are arrested.
The one who is more worried in the image Mummy, as Tad is more surprised and Ramona is just confused.
It looks like Mummy is trying to push away the police boat, to no avail. He wants to get away from them ASAP
And let's look at the best part of the clip in my opinion:
Tumblr media
"I'm too young to go to jail!"
"Nobody is going to jail"
Can we just. Talk about. This scene 👆🏽
So much emotion and details!
The way Mummy at first looks so amashed, like he just broke something very important on a elegant building... which he kind of did, but that's not the reason he's so worried as he thought he made the painting better.
Then the way he looks many times at the police boats, then back at Tad then at the boats in less than one second. The undead is so nervous he can't focus on only one person, using his hands to give himself air as if he's suffocating for a panic attack.
Then there's the fact he says he's too young to go to jail, which should be a joke given he's +500 years, but comparing his age to Ramona's (probably more than a thousand) and the way he acts in general, he feels like he died young, maybe mid twenties.
Also Tad, he is very worried about playing a part in the persecution and how everything is his fault to begin with.
But he manages to look at Mummy and giving him a little shook with his head denying the thought of his friend being in jail, being him the one who has more visual contact with Mummy while the other doesn't know where to look.
He also raises his hand to calm down his brother while reassuring him nobody is going to jail. It's so heartwarming.
But Mummy only thinks he will go to jail if they managed to capture him?
Oh sweetie... you kind, cursed, anxious, little peruvian andean child. No, jail will only be a sweet dream knowing what people could do to a living mummy.
Tumblr media
And then Ramona breaks the moment while saying the equivalent to "Look where are you going slaves"
She DID call them slaves in the clip. She's definetly royalty, but also looks down at Mummy for the simple fact that he is not egyptian, denying that he is even a mummy to begin with. I'm really curious to see her development.
Going back at Mummy, he really just wanted to be somebody to the world, not in the "famous and rich" aspect, but he only wanted to be recognized as a fellow being that, in the modern world of humans, could fit in.
But everything backfired at end with many people being NOT happy with his existence, and now the agents know about what he really is...
Tumblr media
and these two french police officers
Tumblr media
and all of those french people there
Tumblr media
and the rest of people on those boats.
Hence, this "discovery" could lead us to:
Tumblr media
This scene, where an authority of Paris has to probably calm down its citizens by all the conmotion that happened in and out the Louvre Museum.
Maybe they already know there was a Monster in Paris (*roll credits*) or two.
I just want a good resolution to all this scandal. And for "good" I don't mean "everyone forgot about the incident. Tad and Mummy went scot free and everything was back to normal. The end"
No, what I'm talking about is how the world is going to react to the fact that there are two living mummies, magic, places that have a lot of riches in their own countries. The unknow.
How things will end up with Victoria Moon, agents Ramirez and Pickles, especially Mr. Pickles as he is the more determined of the two. He really wants someone guilty and resolving that case.
Hope the end is not only an average end, but the beggining of something greater.
They have the potencial, they just have to play all the cards right.

Day 44: Sensacine 🎞 🌟 my beloved (part 3)
Yep, the same page from before, Sensacine, has released some new images from the upcoming movie. Since there are a lot of them (more than 40) I would only show those that caught my attention. You can see the rest of them in their web page.
Spoilers coming:
Tumblr media
Ah yes, the greatest creation of all time, the Wi-Fi! Love how Mummy get excited with modern stuff. Also it looks like he tries to cheer up Tad in the second picture, albeit he can come as innocent incensitive again like the sequel. Be glad you have someone to lean on Tad, you may lose him in a blink of an eye.
Tumblr media
Top 10 photos taken before disaster plus "Ah! My face! My beautiful, beautiful face! I have the face of a stinking gator *whines harder* GATOR FACE! 😭"
If you got the reference, I'm very proud of you.
Tumblr media
This scene may occur after the plane incident. It was not a good experience for both of them. Poor Belozoni. Jeff gets to fly and him? I pity the parrot.
I suspect the place is the back of the Louvre Museum, just because they got a plane to fly towards it.
Tumblr media
In life Mummy is me. I am Mummy.
When it comes to the time I spend on my cellphone at least. Dude, this is not the place nor the time to use the Tiki Taka, there's an object to find!
I wonder what Ramona will think of that place. It looks great, but it's just a replica of what her culture used to look.
Tumblr media
These images are very interesting, and concerning, especially the second one. Who is that woman and why she gathered that group of people?
Tad & Mummies were close to being captured, Ramirez is following Mummy's account to know his current place and Pickles seems done already, with that towel on his head and eating a croissant while drinking coffee.
He reminds me of a distant parient of Carl Fredricksen from UP, maybe it's because of the square chin or his "so tired of this adventure" attitude.
Tumblr media
A nice journey before the disaster, glad to see Ramona is enjoying the trip. Mummy doesn't look like he is in the trip but maybe he's there, just hidden.
Again, I pity Belzoni. That poor parrot.
Tumblr media
Many things to point out here. Why are the three mighty archeologists smiling? Is this before or after the curse is broken? It seems like Ramirez is the one who lets Tad and company go while Pickles, poor tired Pickles is like "WHAT!? You let them go!?" and I really want to know the context here.
I may be wrong and they never would acknowledge this, but maybe because Ramirez is mexican, she can understand the importance of mummies in Latin America and around the world and doesn't want them to be hurt or moved to a international facility.
Pickles, who is most likely from Chicago, doesn't think the same.
That mountain looks like the one from Sara's map on the promo where the camp of the mighty is located. There's another bike race taking place on Egypt.
You know what that means?
🎶"Another one bites the dust"🎶
Tumblr media
I'm gonna laugh hard if Mummy calls the camel "A big, deformed llama" since camels and llamas are actually related.
I love his Egyptian outfit, purple looks good on him. I also love that he keeps the Inti symbol most of the time.
Mummy here is channeling his inner Freddy Marquez and doing an exhibition of Ramona while the trio is ectastic at meeting her and began to "do that archeology stuff" to her.
In the last image Ra-Amon-Ah be like:
"I'm surrounded by idiots"
Tumblr media
Presenting, from Ancient Egypt...
Ra-Amon-Ah the Ammit whisperer!
Seems like this mummy lady knows how to keep Mummy calm in times of the curse, better than Tad may I add. He almost got to be Ammit's food/toy.
Maybe this is how Ramona gets to bond with Mummy, going from "Eugh" to "Awww" at the end of the journey.
Never thought I would see Ramona holding that rubber chicken, but here we are, taming an Ammit Mummy.
Speaking of Ammit Mummy, let's finish this analysis with this single, impacting picture:
Tumblr media
Why is Mummy there? He looks like he is in control of his actions by the way he is standing, putting a paw infront of Tad and Sara as if saying "Wait" or "Don't come closer"
Maybe this is the moment he realizes there's not hope for him and he is better far away his friends?
Also who does the truck belong too? Victoria? the trio of archeologists? Agents Pickles and Ramirez?
There seems to be bars behind Ammit Mummy. Are those part of the truck or is that a broken cage?
So many questions...
Well, that's all from the moment. There are more images I want to talk about but that's for tomorrow.
Btw, today is the release of all the books from movie 3 online. Hope someone posts a page or two.
