Nerdy: No Irishman would ever call themselves British People of Northern Ireland: ARE WE A JOKE TO YOU?

@scottwatrous 4 ай бұрын

I love that the whole castle progression is presented as if it is a stage in a video game, with stealth sections, platforming sections, boss battles, etc.

The fight at the entrance of the castle, with the goofy music, feels like a homage to The Bride's fight against the Crazy 88s at the House of Blue Leaves

@darrenl3289 4 ай бұрын

Kenneth Branagh is just amazing as the evil Fowler. This whole episode feels like an epic level to a badass video game. Tying into a video game and your description of not doing side quests, Mizu was attempting a speed run but failed. lol

The goofy music during the spiked pit scene is 100% an homage to the 5678's scene in Kill Bill P1 where everyone's dancing in the Charlie Brown teahouse and then the Bride shows up ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdCKqayIu5u4h2g.html ). When she first starts fighting the Crazy 88, it's a very very similar musical choice before she gets surrounded and it gets serious again. Some of the moves in last episode where Mizu was spinning on her back cutting tendons and heels was lifted almost directly from this same scene too.

They also released a Kurasawa-esque version of this episode on youtube - mostly in black and white, with different music.

More of Fowler is to be revealed but his backstory story tracks. (if historically accurate) He is actually of Scottish Descent, possibly an Ulster Scot and he or his parents settled in / colonized Northern Ireland on behalf of Britain.

@richardd5645 4 ай бұрын

it doesn't quite track, he talks about the Tudor conquest of Ireland (1536-1603), the Scotish and English plantations start 1606 and later we see an event that puts this around (1657) - how old is he?

@johnmccarron7066 4 ай бұрын

@richardd5645 I would say it's a safe bet to assume he's at least in his mid-sixties. That would make him anywhere from 8 to 12 at the end of the Nine Years War, which had a brutal famine from 1602 to 1603 in Ulster. Attempts to provoke a widespread famine were also an integral part to this war.

@richardd5645 4 ай бұрын

@@johnmccarron7066 Sure, but that would suggest he is Catholic Irish, not a Protestant English or Scots settler (the next phase of this conflict after many Irish died or fled Ireland as a result of that war) - which would make him identifying as British a bit odd (although I think at this point it referred to as coming from the British Isles, as the political entity will not exist for another ~50 years, along with all the connotations).

@massacrestarts1673 4 ай бұрын

I didn't catch it on my first viewing, but Mizu is working her way up to the 9th level of the castle. I wonder if it's a reference to Dante's Inferno and the nine levels of hell.

Fowler’s allegiance to the British Empire isn’t out of place since he’s from Northern Ireland and that distinction won’t matter much to the Japanese.

I love this show. But my one complaint is they repeatedly give her injuries that are too serious for her to get up and continue fighting. It's the one thing that takes me out of the moment. I can forgive it cause it's fun. It's one thing to give her small injuries like the bride in Kill bill, but another that could take her months to recoup from. Loved the show other than that.

@sofiagovea228 4 ай бұрын

I agree, as much as I adore her I hope she at least can’t get up for an episode or two in the second season lmao
