I've Seen Some Notes About How They Had A Trans Man Playing Canaeus On Netflix's Kaos, And How Great

The most interesting thing to me thus far about this whole goncharov thing is that Tumblr has collectively constructed some pretty convincing side characters for this movie. Katya leaps off the page as this frustrated woman caged by her lack of autonomy, Sofia coyly plays both sides and acts above it all when really she's desperate for the same freedom Katya is. Ice Pick Joe is a less developed character who nonetheless acts as a stand in for the inescapable nature of cycles of violence. andrey, loyal to a fault, gets pulled deeper and deeper into goncharov's orbit until there's no way for him to make it out alive

and yet with all that I have ZERO sense of who goncharov is supposed to be himself. i've see a lot of stuff suggesting that the film is theoretically about loss, including the loss of one's identity, shown primarily through the way goncharov becomes unrecognizable to himself by the time of his death at the end of the film (seeing himself in a fractured mirror is a common motif). it's very interesting to me that we have a fine time coming up with a group of collective blorbos based on mafia movie tropes, but somehow the main character feels unknowable, to the degree that we had to make that one of the core themes of the film.

Vultures are holy creatures.

Tending the dead.

Bowing low.

Bared head.

Whispers to cold flesh,

“Your old name is not your king.

I rename you ‘Everything.’”

Why would you lie to the Twitter-refugees like this?? What do you have against them?

goncharov isn't a real movie is it.

If I had a nickel for every time I got into a piece of media wherein there was:

- a mystery centred around the death of this high-status asshole who kind of isn’t dead

- a main character audience-insert who you never see and who must solve this murder with the help of the other characters

- the ex-wife of said high-status asshole, who hates him and has powers of precognition

- someone who was framed for the death of the asshole and has to flee

- a pre-established (and possibly romantic) relationship between the audience-insert and their ‘boss’

- that ‘boss’ character, who tells the audience-insert half truths in order to protect* them

…I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice
