What's the plan, MARK?

Reblog if you're hoping 2011 will be a fresh start.

So I've just come back from the cinema and I have thoughts.

Never been a part of this fandom before, but I know the game.

Some spoilers under the cut, maybe?

Overall, the movie is exactly what I'd expected: a slasher flick and not much more. Which isn't bad, UD is pretty good for what it is. I also knew it wasn't an actual adaptation and the plot and characters were different, so I didn't end up disapointed.

The characters felt to me very much like your typical Netflix teenage friend group: I didn't feel much chemistry there and they all felt pretty flat. Which maybe is the point of movies like this, actually: you're there to watch them die in horrible ways, not get attached.

But if it's supposed to be in the same universe as the game, then why did they change the wendigo lore? From what I understood from the tape, you turn into one because of trauma and you eat people BECAUSE you're turning and not the other way around? Feels a bit nonsensical, but whatever.

I caught two references: Josh's file on Hill's desk and uh... the spiritual girl... Maggie? Megan? wearing a butterfly necklace.

Speaking of, I am kinda sad that they didn't incorporate the butterfly effect. Isn't it the whole shtick of the game? Even one small action having some unforeseen consequences would have been pretty neat.

Overall, as just a slasher teenage movie: 8/10.

ATTENTION ALL GIRLS AND LADIES: if you walk from home, school, office or anywhere and you are alone and you come across a little boy crying holding a piece of paper with an address on it, DO NOT TAKE HIM THERE! take him straight to the police station for this is the new 'gang' way of rape. The incident is getting worse. Warn your families. Reblog this so this message can get accross to everyone.

THE CARPET WASN'T EVEN RED, GUYS

hey everyone be careful

I don't know if anyone has talked about this, but lately this has been happening in other fandoms too. There'll be these bot accounts that straight up steals people's posts and adds "expand" "read more" "continue" as a link in the end of the post - DON'T CLICK ON THAT, it's most likely a malware or something of the like.

so if you see a post like this: no profile picture, something that looks reposted (I've seen this happening to artists too) and a link at the end, even if the post has tags, that's a bot. Block and report it.

stay safe, and I hope @staff finds a way to stop these bots soon!

"What radicalized you?"

Nothing.

I've just always held that fascism is bad and that all people deserve basic respect and human rights, along with food, healthcare, housing, and civil liberties.

And somewhere along the line, that became a radical opinion.

A little background as to why the Markiplier fandom is panicking about The Edge of Sleep.

So YEARS ago. Mark was in a podcast called The Edge of Sleep, which was adapted into a TV series... Which was never released

Until

Mark made a movie adaptation of a video game, Iron Lung. He's put all his energy into this film, directing, producing, editing, even starring in it. the movie is done, and he's working to get it released in theaters.

We, the public don't know why, but we know that some doors have been locked on the release of Iron Lung, however some big wigs somewhere have promised that if his popularity alone can put Edge of Sleep in the TOP TEN a lot of doors will open for Iron Lung. He wasn't allowed to even say where it would premiere, nor was it advertised AT ALL

So now, Edge of Sleep has shadow dropped on Amazon Prime in the US. Three days BEFORE they even told Mark it would air. In order to get this man's work out in theaters this thing has to get to the top ten by word of mouth alone.

So. Watch Edge of Sleep! It's an apocalyptic horror. There are some mild gore warnings (blood, knife mutilation, brain dissection, self harm). Even if you can play it in the background and let it run just so it gets views thatd be helpful.

Stick it to the Hollywood Bigwigs! Show them YouTubers can have an audience! Open some doors for creative people trying to show their work to a bigger audience!
