I HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY-

What if his name is Mattholomule Tholomule

philip wittebane and the collector are literally THE funniest duo possible i cant get over it. childhood trauma 1600s puritan wannabe witch hunter guy whos run a centuries long scam pretending to be a powerful witch emperor because he wanted to kill everyone and whos still so mad about his brother that he keeps cloning him and killing the clones and who apparently still thinks its the 1600s, and his buddy almighty celestial godchild kidthing whos trapped in a cursed mirror. they stuck together because of a literal pinky promise. the fact that their relationship culminated in philip throwing the collector off a bridge and the collector retaliating by literally splattering philip all over the wall in a horrific goopy gory mess really adds to it i think

Before the next episode reveals all I decided to make my own interpretations of some guesses for what Luz’s magic staff will look like. I hope the real one blows these out of the water.

KING SHIT BEHAVIOR BY ALEX HIRSCH

strange world (and farming)

So, this might be extremely obvious, but I'm not sure how much this is talked about outside the midwest so??

Strange World's environmental message is a direct reference to monocrop farming, the use of pesticides, and other farming practices that produce more crops but harm soil and the Earth.

The fact that the entire society relies almost entirely on one crop to sustain it? The fact that the second that crop becomes useless or harms the Earth to a degree we can't ignore anymore, our society is going to have to start anew? The fact that the people in charge actively ignore damage to the environment until their own lives are visibly at risk?

That's all us.

The director, Don Hall, is from Iowa and released an introduction before the movie to Iowa theaters where he talks about how much of Iowa is in the film, and how Searcher is a lot like his dad, an Iowa farmer.

Searcher is the protagonist. He's shown to be a likable guy. And yet, his farming practices are harming the Earth, he's not listening to his son about living harmoniously with nature, and he doesn't become a good guy (imo) until the end where he's destroyed everything he's worked for for the sake of the planet.

This movie is a fantasy but it's directly grounded in concrete parallels to our own world, and I love it
