Analyzing evil: the producer that took the budget

@robinthrill3r7 Ай бұрын

Justin oxk9ke did you know? In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood... Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer. Tempered by the fires of Hell, his iron will remained steadfast through the passage that preys upon the weak. For he alone was the Hell Walker, the Unchained Predator, who sought retribution in all quarters, dark and light, fire and ice, in the beginning and the end, and he hunted the slaves of Doom with barbarous cruelty; for he passed through the divide as none but demon had before. And in his conquest against the blackened souls of the doomed, his prowess was shown. In his crusade, the seraphim bestowed upon him terrible power and speed, and with his might he crushed the obsidian pillars of the Blood Temples. He set forth without pity upon the beasts of the nine circles. Unbreakable, incorruptible, unyielding, the Doom Slayer sought to end the dominion of the dark realm. he age of his reckoning was uncounted. The scribes carved his name deep in the tablets of Hell across eons, and each battle etched terror in the hearts of the demons. They knew he would come, as he always had, as he always will, to feast on the blood of the wicked. For he alone could draw strength from his fallen foes, and ever his power grew, swift and unrelenting. None could stand before the horde but the Doom Slayer. Despair spread before him like a plague, striking fear into the shadow-dwellers, driving them to deeper and darker pits. But from the depths of the abyss rose The Great One, a champion mightier than all who had come before. The Titan, of immeasurable power and ferocity. He strode upon the plain and faced the Doom Slayer, and a mighty battle was fought on the desolate plains. The Titan fought with the fury of the countless that had fallen at the Doom Slayer's hand, but there fell the Titan, and in his defeat the shadow horde were routed. And in his terrible rancor between worlds and through time, the Hell Walker found the wretch who shall not be named, but in his heresy was loyal to his evil cause. The wretch adorned the Doom Slayer in a mighty armor, wrought in the forges of Hell, impenetrable and unyielding. With sword and shield of adamantine strength, the Doom Slayer set to banishing all that were left unbroken by his savagery to the void. Yet as the mighty Titan fell and dread engulfed the armies of Doom, the demon priests of the Blood Temples laid a trap to capture this scourge of Hell. impenetrable and unyielding. With sword and shield of adamantine strength, the Doom Slayer set to banishing all that were left unbroken by his savagery to the void. Yet as the mighty Titan fell and dread engulfed the armies of Doom, the demon priests of the Blood Temples laid a trap to capture this scourge of Hell. Insatiable, even by the vanquishing of the Great One, the Hell Walker sought prey in the tombs of the Blood Keep. And blinded by his fervor, the lure drew him in. The priests brought down the temple upon the Doom Slayer, and in his defeat entombed him in the cursed sarcophagus. The mark of the Doom Slayer was burned upon his crypt, a warning to all of Hell that the terror within must never be freed. There he lies still, and ever more, in silent suffering.

@frog2444 Ай бұрын

The way I always interpreted it is that the spiral is a being that simply desires total attention. It’s reiterated a bunch of times in the story how the shape of a spiral is designed to draw your eye into the centre of it. Maybe the god gets some kind of nourishment that it needs from the attention of humans, or maybe it’s whole existence simply revolves around the concept of seeking attention, but with the glorious city of spirals the god resides in and the bright light it emits, it’s kinda like the countless frozen, spiralised people staring at it for eternity are the “congregation” it desires. This is also why I love the ending so much-because unlike every other person down there that lays transfixed at the spiral, kirie and shuichi instead choose to hold each other and face into each other’s eyes. It reminds me a lot of the ending of I have no mouth and I must scream, how even though the protagonists are in a hopeless situation, even in death they manage to get one over at the gods seeking to control them and flip them the ultimate middle finger, which I guess is all the human spirit can hope for against such incomprehensible dangers.

I think that's specifically what makes it a Psychological Horror. Which i love to think about how things that happen in stories reveal aspects of human nature(what it can teach us about ourselves); odd stuff about being a human. We are flawed and strange. The comic was written by a person so it's going to reflect and match "people" who read it. It's about people. That's what i think the Spiral is, in an abstract way of course. That's why it's a Psychological Horror. That's why it makes sense in its strange way*

@loadupthejaj3809 Ай бұрын

As someone who's watched/read Uzumaki, Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, and Gurren Lagann, I always wondered what the overall connection between the spiral symbolism could be despite the seemingly different uses of it within said media. In Uzumaki, the spiral feels like a constant downward spiral that goes inward, trapping everyone in Kuruzo. In Gurren Lagann, the spiral is in an outer facing drill that represents the willpower of humanity that wishes to push forward into the universe at whatever cost. In Jojo part 7, the spirals are shown as a fundamental law of nature within the world of jojo that is tied to all the other "mechanisms" of reality. It is purely a representation of the infinite. It can be harnessed but never conquered. Like fortune/misfortune, it is never destroyed or created, but channeled. All three of these stories showcase the spiral in their own ways, but also comment on eachother when you read into it more. They're all showcases of the infinite whirlpool of dispair which consumes all. The infinite drill of life that pushes it to break all barriers it can. And a unbaised force of nature that will exist beyond you wether or not one can harness it.

@mruchiha0209 in the book there is old buildings that pretty much has been standing for a 1000 years. So the traces of the old town is still there, it's just that the town itself ends up looking like a natural disaster and by the look of things at the end the time in the town goes quicker and quicker, so the traces of the spiral will by the end be almost fully erased. You also have the theory that people that lives there gets affected by the spiral and not being able to see what is happening around them

The interpretation that I have always subscribed to is that the spiral is simply an entity that demands attention. The spirals of uzumaki drive inward pulling your eyes towards them. The entire story is about obsession with every character falling deeper into that spiral of whatever demands their attention and in the very end the god demands all of the people of the village. It demands nothing more and nothing less than for them to all be there, staring at it, for all eternity. It's simple, and horrible

The Uzumaki anime's downward spiral was unfortunate. It's even more unfortunate due to the fact that many thought that this anime would be the one Junji Ito anime adaptation to do a good job. After two other anime shows that did not do well, we thought this one would break the curse. When I saw episode 1, I was so hopeful, but then episode 2 aired. The animation for episode 2 reminded me of the animation for the anime adaptation of Junji Ito stories that came out years ago that most people did not like. It's like whoever did the animation for that anime did episode 2 and put a black and white filter over it. And episode 2 is where I really started to feel the fast pacing of the show. Its fast pace lessens the impact when we see the horrifying conclusion to a particular storyline. What truly messed things up is only having four episodes. That forces them to rush things. Ideally, each episode should have been focused on one storyline, two at the most.

I like the idea that the spiral isn't conscious as such, that there's no malice in what it does because it's just a force of nature running on instinct. It's not the only occurrence of this in Junji Ito's work either, another one of my favourite short stories is Smashed (spoilers ahead of you haven't read it). The characters in Smashed are addicted to this honey & something will eventually materialise & inexplicably crush them to death in seconds. Eventually it turns out that the plant the addictive honey comes from has the ability to generate portals & its massive tendrils can go through the portals to exactly where the honey thieves are to swat them like annoying mosquitos. What I love about this reveal is that you can't get any satisfaction from hating the antagonist, it's a plant, this is just a natural process it developed through evolution to presumably stop creatures from eating it. There's no way to reason with it, you can't find a loophole, it just is. & that's a scary concept for Uzumaki for me. All this devastation, all the human suffering that resulted from this "curse", was all because of a creature that has no more understanding of what it's doing than black mold overtaking a house. It simply exists to survive as it has done for millions of years like an everlasting slime mold. You can't even yell at it for ruining everything, it does not comprehend you at all. & if I was faced with that realisation, of not even getting the catharsis of blaming an evil entity for my pain, knowing that I'd just be shouting at mold, well I'd break down completely.

I have to say Chainsaw man and the other "endings" that were eaten by Chainsaw man is equally just as inteiguing. The endings that remained were heaven, hell, and death. Two of which on the list bc they're too strong for the personification of oblivion the Chainsaw man that acts as a shredder for what we consider reality. But heaven is likely an entirely different realm that must exist if we can percieve it. That is to say assuming the world and its real world counterpart are one to one. Since it's never been brought up, it may entirely have been nuked. But there were indeed other "endings"- 4 other alternate conclusions to death that he did successfully devour and erase. Once he erases them, we can't concieve and comprehend them any longer. It's like thinking of a color that doesn't exist within the spectrum we're familiar. Not even clear.

It's also possible the spiral's objectives have nothing to do with the people or the town. And the horrific events are a side effect of it being there. It may not even be aware of the town that forms over it, just constantly doing what it does for some purpose far beyond human understanding. I mean that's part of Lovecraft as well that these godlike entities aren't really interested in humanity but their presence effects us in such a way that it appears they should but only to us. It could also just be a lighthouse. A marker or waypoint for something much larger or godlike. Perhaps that would explain why it stays in one area despite having ample chances to simply turn the ocean current into spirals and quickly consume everything. It has no need to, because it lacks any need at all. It spirals because that's what a spiral does, it goes on and on with no real change.

an interesting aspect i always considered was, objects tend to rotate in space. earth, and all the other planets, unless tidally locked, all rotate and spin, and they tend to orbit other objects in a spiraling pattern. it could be that whatever external force we call "gravity" could just be a physical manifestation of something beyond the scope of the universe bending reality. and if it some external force, and not just cosmic anomaly, it could be that the being or thing is unaware it has this influence on lower dimensions

The entity reminds me more of Carcosa from the the king in yellow than call of Cthulhu, with this in mind I think the entity is a city of the old ones trying to recapture or rebuild something be that a king, its population, rebuild something lost or destroyed or maybe the city it self is stuck in a time spiral sucking inn the surroundings or the city is a dead dreamer kind of thing where it dose not know it no longer alive, yet can not die so it most rebuild itself in perpetuity. that is at least what i think, great vid keep it up (sry about spelling mistakes I am quite dyslexic)

The failed final escape attempt reminds me of something I learned in a geometry video, which is that there's three broad categories of spirals: Spirals where the gap between lines gets wider as you go out, spirals that stay the same width, and spirals that get narrower until the path meets itself and becomes a circle. The town was surrounded by that third kind.

I think an interesting idea is that the Spiral entity was at one point sentient, but became so consumed with what it was doing that it just forgot why, and kept consuming and transforming. Like that the spiral consumes all, even itself. Also there’s a similar Spiral based entity in the podcast series The Magnus Archives, which I think would make a great Characters and Themes episode. Admittedly there’s 200 episodes and a currently ongoing sequel series, so maybe something for next Halloween?
