The English dub is a trip.
I LOVE the fact that in each of these 3 cartoons there's always one smiley character that laughs every second of his life
SO!!! A little crossover of 3 of my favourite childhood cartoons by David Cherkassky - "Treasure Island", "Adventures of Captain Wrongel" and "Dr. Ouch-It-Hurts" ^^
john silver refuses to tell us his story. he lies, and lies, and lies about it. when confronted, he refuses to tell the truth. it’s one of my favourite things about the character, but the thing is— he tries to control the narrative, and he really does at first. but, in the end, he gets swallowed up by the stories others have made up— by the lies others have told about him.
jon steinberg said in fathoms deep that silver’s been removed from his own story, that his curse is that he’s stuck in someone else’s, and he can’t get out. he does everything he can to get out in the beginning, and then he physically can’t, and then he gets so entangled in the story he couldn’t possibly leave— it would fall apart without him (in the end, he makes it fall apart).
billy makes a decision that shapes silver’s whole identity. and even though silver does make the story fall apart in a way, he still can’t get out. and this is what survives him, what has reached us— the lie another man made up.
silver doesn’t just get entangled in it. he becomes it. he becomes a legend, a ghost, a story. it isn’t even one he chose to tell.

В общем, эстетика на моего самого любимого француза: Жака Паганеля. Мало кто с ним знаком, потому вот ключевые черты: география (и все, что с ней связано), круглые очки, теплые тона, а дальше уже как хотите. Спасибо еще раз

I remember getting like, REALLY into the story of Captain Nemo when I was maybe 18, and honestly he’s a very interesting character… for one thing, he straight up HATES imperialism/fascism in all forms, to the point that he has no loyalty to any place or government, but IS extremely compassionate toward any people who are oppressed in any way/shape/form. He basically just wants to live underwater and go on fin sea adventures because he is just so DONE with people, but he’ll also maybe overthrow a dictator and redistribute the wealth. Y’know, if he feels like it, and isn’t too depressed. As much as he, let’s say “extremely dislikes”, other people, he’ll be distraught if any of his crew dies… and even grieves enemies who die. Oh, and his ship, the submarine Nautilus? It was built secretly, but putting together different parts all over the world, and finally assembling it. The other really cool thing that I don’t most people are aware of, his name? Nemo is a variation of a word that can mean “nobody” or “no one”. There was another famous mythical sailor that once introduced himself as “nobody”, Ulysses/Odysseus (when speaking to the Cyclopes). Because stories with him are fictional, somebody might try to argue that we don’t “know” where he was from… but to be real, he was from India. His real name was Prince Dakkar. He’s a genius, a scientist, speaks multiple languages, and just pretty dang awesome in general. Despite him LITERALLY being Indian, so many TV/film adaptations make him European and white-wash him. There is a small handful that didn’t; in the 1916 silent film he was Indian, Omar Shariff played him in the mini-series The Mysterious Island (1973), in a 3-part TV film called Captain Nemo he was depicted as Indian but played by actor Vladislav Dvorzhetsky. Ironically, I don’t care much for the movie itself… but the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) had perhaps my favorite Captain Nemo, played by Naseeruddin Shah, and he just looked COOL-
Anyway, I wish we’d gotten half a dozen ACCURATELY AWESOME movies about Captain Nemo (like, I would trade all the Pirates of the Caribbean films for ones about Captain Nemo)
I’ve made a comic adaptation of Around the World in Eighty Days for an Italian publisher I’ve always wanted to work with. This is the cover.

Asdfghjkl I'm screaming??? Ah yes, the chapter where Evan takes neil out on a date-
“You all say I'm the devil, But some say I'm a saint.”
Just a small PSA, All Saints Street isn’t Japanese, so it’s not an anime.
that’s it, that’s the post- I’ve said my peace 😩
I LOVE THEMM
