1999 - The Ulysses asteroid, containing the King in Yellow within, is shot by Stonehenge, a railgun array built in an attempt to protect the continent Usea from Ulysses.

As fragments of the asteroid begin to strike, one piece in particular strikes the hometown of Yellow 13. This fragment housed a piece of the King, known as Yellow, who becomes bonded to 13 - unbeknownst to him.

2004 - The Ulysses Impact Event, as it came to be called, hit Usea hard despite humanity's efforts. A refugee crisis and spiraling political tensions led to the Federal Republic of Erusea, 13's home country, to utilize Stonehenge to take over the continent. Now, 13 is stationed in the occupied city of San Salvacion, unaware of Yellow's presence.

That is until one day, when a newly physical Yellow stumbles his way into the bar and up to 13. Unable to speak, Yellow attempts to communicate with 13, to little success. But even so, they manage to come to some sort of understanding. Perhaps 13 feels something familiar about this stranger, perhaps he just trusts them.

got kicked out of the time loop cause i wasnt learning any life lessons and was just using it to crank my thang crazy style

One of my favorite little quirks of TVTropes is that the people covering the Godzilla franchise have a deep moral revulsion towards Gigan. Like, seriously, just search for Gigan and they have him in the same "Complete Monster" category as Anton Chigurh and Judge Holden.

Fucking Gigan.

"The freedom of giant cyborg chicken things is an insult to me. I'd have them all in zoos. That would be a hell of a zoo."

First of all, in Godzilla vs. Gigan, he was just a poor space dinosaur surgically mutilated and forced to be the mind-controlled slave of alien cockroaches. So no moral culpability there.

And in Godzilla vs. Megalon, the seatopians are pissed that people keep nuclear testing in their oceans, so they send out a giant beetle god (actually kind of feel like these last two movie's kaiju should have been switched, but that's beside the point). And once the beetle gets his ass kicked because he's stupid and drill hands aren't actually that productive, the Seatopians radio the alien cockroaches for help, drawing on some Ancient Atlantean-Blatta Accord that apparently exists in the same continuity as Gojira (1954). And so Gigan comes back to earth. To save the oceans' indigenous people from the ravages of nuclear weaponry. And he's automatically chummy with Megalon, who clearly needs assistance because something's not all there.

Gigan is an environmentalist hero, and has empathy towards people in need, no matter how aquatic or chitinous. He's like Captain Planet if he locked the fuck in.

"OH, GIGAN IS SADISTIC, HE TORTURES HIS FOES."

Uh, so does Godzilla, all the time. He just toys with motherfuckers.

"OH, GIGAN IS A COWARD, HE ALWAYS RUNS AWAY WHEN HE'S LOSING."

Yeah, it's called a strategic retreat. Gigan is smart enough to know that once you get your HP wrestled down to 10, Godzilla's going to atomic breath you in the face. You're not a dirty coward for not wanting your head to be the next Trinity testing site.

I am become breath, destroyer of latex.

"OH, GIGAN SLOWLY DRAGS PEOPLE INTO HIS BUZZSAW."

Uh, yeah? He had his viscera forcibly ripped out and replaced with a buzzsaw. You expect him not to use it in his kaiju death battles? Excuse me? He lost his duodenum for that. He has to use colostomy bags. He has hooks for hands, the boy cannot wipe, let his use his one goddamn thing without moralizing about it.

Godzilla has atomic fallout for breath. You know what that shit does? You think using that in Japanese cities isn't problematic? The boy is a metaphor.

I think one of the main things I want people to take away from my Elliot Page post is that too many people online will see a character that haunts the narrative and thinks that makes them a well-rounded, complex character without thinking why the Dead Wife trope is specifically called that, why female characters usually take on that role, and why Elliot Page being given that role is not a sign of Nolan respecting his male identity more than his pre-transition identity. People on this website will decry misogyny without even noticing the misogyny right in front of them, because in their minds it doesn’t exist when it’s happening to a trans man. Nolan literally gave Elliot Page one of the most classically female roles in cinema history and everyone said “that’s fine” because the role happened to be a man. A young man more importantly, when Elliot Page is a grown ass 39 year old, but no one has ever treated him like an adult in his fucking life so I don’t see why that would change now.
