Uprising, The Movie: largely embraces a narrative showing Newt as just some “ca-RAZY SCIENTIST” who turned evil because he was too much of a kaiju groupie and only has a couple bits aknowledging that what’s happened was beyond his control
Me:
Uprising, The Non-canon Novelization: Shows Newt thinking that he’s building drones to save pilots and is completely unaware of himself sabatoging his own project. Is isolated all of the time. Knows there’s something wrong with his head but can’t place what and is confused and conflicted as he’s twisted into the worst version of himself while often not knowing why he does what he’s doing/saying. Feels unstable and is confirmed to drink heavily, likely as a self medication method to deal with confusing thoughts. Actually slightly changes dialogue and scenes to make it clear that Newt is under the influence of things beyond his control and is a tragic victim
Bugs Bunny could singlehandedly defeat Thanos by dressing up as a TSA agent and setting up a metal detector in the middle of the battlefield saying that all metal objects must be removed if you want to pass on through now stick around for my 2,000 word essay on just how effectively he would convince The Mad Titan to comply
“For shame, doc! Dontcha know we got other folks waiting?”
(Thanos looks behind him and sees dozens of Bugs Bunnies dressed as angry yelling travelers with huge bags of luggage. Thanos rubs his neck guiltily and begins sliding off the gauntlet)
I felt compelled
I don’t think I’ve seen such a finely crafted Looney Toons joke in over two decades. Bravo.
