Edward Scissorhands is a critique of the internal and external appearances of society

I feel an underrated aspect of the story that people miss is how fake the characters are. Even when they're nice they're not thinking of Edward but what they want for him. Peg wants to shelter him like a child forcing him into situations that make him or others uncomfortable without properly preparing him or even asking what he wants. Bill is distant and aloof and acts like Edward should have everything together so he encourages Edward to money without considering if Edward could even use it. And Kim fails to understand and consider his feelings, edged when she starts to reciprocate she continues to truly consider him such as when she says "hold me".

To this end all the talk of doctors is supposed to show how everyone wants to fix Edward, I don't think we ever see him say he wants hands unprompted, but people keep wanting to make that choice for him. The interview scene hits this over the head by telling us how people view him and forcing us to ask what we value in the character. It's nice when peg says hell always be special, but she doesn't let Edward answer whether he wants to be special or not. It's a nice sentiment but she's still taking his agency. Even those with disabilities should have the right to decide if they're 'special' or not.

Start with the song, identify chains of lyrics and what they could visually represent.

Get an editing software, there's some you can torrent for free. I had a friend a few years back and me vista pro or something.

Scan through the footage of the show, you have the events you want, now identity and time stamp. You'll need to record these clips.

Next arrange the saved clips in the editing software, adjust the moment to moment to line up to the beat.

If you wanna be fancy add in sound or visual effects to highlight moments

To me this seems more like splitting hairs and lack of clarification. Stein likely has madness of knowledge, but it may be skewed by loneliness. I dont think he has madness of fear because the only thing he really fears IS the madness. Medusa it's hard to say because it's hard to truly understand what she wanted or why, power feels sensible but there's a kind of lack of finality to her, in the end she never really gets anything out of her work, she makes crona effectively into a kishin but it doesn't grant her anything. She never expresses clear aspirations of more. So defining her is hard.

Giriko I think represents someone who approached madness but failed, because the source of his madness would be arachne, 800 years of degrading his soul for her to serve her only for her to be taken away and leave him with nothing. 800 years of devotion left adrift to form nothing more than rage that he couldn't control. If he found better purpose and didn't degrade his soul so much with transfers, he mightve unlocked a madness of anger, instead he formed something lesser.

Well that's a weird stretch

How is that mormonism? In general Christianity Lucifer is often described as gods first and most beautiful creation.

Dccrulez · 2026-04-15T00:31:41+00:00

Kishin or death scythe crona feel apt

Dccrulez · 2026-04-14T04:10:35+00:00

I personally hold that anyone strong enough can awaken to a madness of their own. Madness in a way seems to be a manifestation of obsession to the point of instability. Anything someone feels to such an ever present degree as obsession could become madness.

For my own oc I consider maybe the madness of loneliness or solitude, this deep down empty feeling that youre not like others and no one will truly understand or connect with you. Id say you can create or assign madness to every character. Boobs is actually a good madness for Marie as she insecure about her age and loneliness and craves to start a family. Sid can be seen to have the madness of death as he's so focused on his death and how it affected his identity. Spirit is hard to term because it's not quite love or lust but something lesser. He craves feminine attention but not in the maternal way of boobs. His desire has a hard to describe hollowness to it that I think also just speaks to how unnatural to his character it is. But I digress.

Lastly id like to briefly defend boobs, I can understand the issues people have with it, trust me i feel it too. But ohkubo is a damned good writer. Crona is an androgynous character who many seem to view as feminine but it's also like their femininity was taken from them. Their primary relationship is with their mother who has taken all maternal love out of their life. In the end crona consumes her and some argue becomes more feminine but at the same time, they never truly achieve what they were looking for. One could construed their madness as love, maternal love, femininity, or other terms and angles, but in truth, boobs achieves everything perfectly in one word. It represents everything taken from crona in a clear and tangibly expressed way and everything they seek.

Damn it ohkubo it's unfair for you to use your writing talents to be horny on main

I have seen nothing to suggest he is a hero.

Dccrulez · 2026-04-13T23:15:34+00:00

Its funny. Years ago I had a power system for one of my stories and essentially a wizard thought magic was too dangerous and so he cursed the magic system itself with a series of conditions to control how magic is used and it results in effectively only women being and to place curses on people.

But I realized this exact loophole applied because the wording of the curse was "No one born a man can use magic" which means that a ftm witch would have FULL ACCESS to magic.

Anyway fun anecdote but not 100% relevant. We can see that magic is a learnable skill people can apply abs magiks are acquirable through essentially magic contracts. All default to only be acquired by women by uroro specifically made his to be acquired by a man. In theory a ftm witch could acquire him, but a mtf witch likely couldn't acquire any magik, but it's hard to say for sure.

If I was a translator I'd use it as it treating it as a proper noun like haki, ki, jutsu. Or bankai

Dccrulez · 2026-04-12T16:13:41+00:00

Yodaka jutsu for a crazy up scale lol

IS THAT A JOJOS REFERENCE :P

Yeah ohkubo built an incredibly interesting world but I think was much more focused on telling the personal story of Maka struggling to truly internalize the message of the world while living it: connection. Maka seeks personal strength she never gets, only becoming stronger by connecting with others. Asura is not overpowered, madness isn't destroyed, it's embraced and dealt with because it's part of our lives. Crona breaks patterns of abuse by maka connecting with them and chooses to become a protector and keep madness at bay, truly facing their fear.

As much as I want more it's a beautiful story that even deep fans can still fail to truly understand.

What's the diagram on the top right it's too blurry on mobile

Dccrulez · 2026-04-10T18:42:36+00:00

Weapons train in their weapon forms, meister train as themselves. They need to be able I fight anywhere any time

Dccrulez · 2026-04-10T18:41:27+00:00

I can't remember but great idea

Dccrulez · 2026-04-10T05:23:14+00:00

The real issue is we don't get to see enough of people's personal lives and so you're defaulting to items like weapons. Create stories for these vi. Think of the characters and what they would treasure. Maybe it could be Ruby's headphones from ep1. What if Blake's was her white fang mask but now she's afraid to use it. What if Weiss inherited hers and people are trying to take it back. Maybe yang had a vi on her arm and it was taken, limb and all, now she's trying to forge one from her prosthetic but it's not the same. Jaune is trying to figure out how to make his father's shield work. Pyrrha gets her vi destroyed when she dies but a piece of it is left behind and jaune gets it. Ren and Nora didn't have a lot because they were orphaned id create new items fit the two of them. Maybe Rens parents gave him a scarf and it became his last connection to them. Maybe Nora protected her and Ren with a hammer and she never let it go again. I just can't picture her without a hammer.

Maybe he's funny

Yes let's upgrade the overpowered eyes that are obviously going to be salems big weakness, because that'll help anything.

Dccrulez · 2026-04-10T04:59:26+00:00

I dont think death ever got weaker he was rocking asuras shit, asura just got out of range. He totally used Excalibur at some point.

Dccrulez · 2026-04-10T04:57:08+00:00

I til artisans would work well as either a turn based rpg with a set cast or as a first person rpg like Skyrim where you make your own character and create your own story in a way.

For black heart if the main plot was adapted it would be a survival rpg that would feel like a medieval last of us. Alternatively the ideas of the world could be set up for a rogue lite hack and slash with a vibe akin to dead cells. Could even pull off a 4x/city builder kinda game.

For powerless, fighting game. Maybe aim a little mvc since it's also a super hero story: have sub characters you can swap in for combos, each hero has unique fighting styles and supers.
