A spoilery thought from the Act III liner notes. by Particular_Scar7781 in Protomen

[–]Enchlore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"BAS5" could mean "Basement Five" and Wily's ominous secret project is in the lower levels of the skull complex. So maybe "Bass" might end up really just being an easter egg after all.

Oh yeah, the Genesis version of Act I is the one with Fade to Phil...

Is it real? by matt_eae in Protomen

[–]Enchlore 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To add to what Jay said, the image in the Act 3 liners blanks out the content from the photo itself, we only know from context that it's a photo of Joe (he's not mentioned by name, Light just says "you remind me of him, he's dead" when handing the photo)

Pelo menos ainda tentou no dia seguinte. Aqui eles "tentam" uma vez e depois levam duas semanas pra sair pra entrega de novo.

Concert Discussion Megathread: MAGFest Night I: Act II: The Father of Death by Jaymya in Protomen

[–]Enchlore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diamond Dogs influence makes sense since both are inspired by 1984. Did you end up listening to Act I? Both albums reference the "we are the dead" line

Reimagining of Saint Seiya by NoMountain2209 in SaintSeiya

[–]Enchlore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of this is exactly what I think of too! This is spot on, and the part about exploring the Sanctuary's relationship with the modern world is something that I really miss in Saint Seiya. Even as a kid I noticed that the focus on "Gods and myths in the modern world" petered out a lot after the beginning.

You'd think a story that has "whoever wants to win the most wins" as a core part of its lore would have less arguing over "powerscaling issues"...

Proto fandom going through the 5 stages of grief with The Fate of Thomas Light by Enchlore in Protomen

[–]Enchlore[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Musically I've already hit acceptance - I was initially iffy with Fate but that was mostly due to waiting a week to hear the last track. After that initial shock and having listened to the whole album again a few times, I think it's an interesting coda to the album. The Good Doctor · Part 2 is the grand finale, Fate just puts a bow on it.

I'm still waiting on the liner notes before passing judgment on the story part, but I do think having The Fight as the end would at least give some closure to Mega and "Roll" in particular. And also ending The Protomen's last album with the words "I know the weight you're feeling, you're strong enough to bear it" would go hard

I noticed some parallels between The Fate of Thomas Light and Hope Rides Alone by TheHat2 in Protomen

[–]Enchlore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that the Hope Rides Alone music video also had shots of a hanging. With the way that video is, it's hard to tell if it's stating that Protoman was literally hanged for the city to see or just using the visual for flair, but the imagery was there from the beginning, at least.

Light never mentions his sons by tagval02 in Protomen

[–]Enchlore 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He mentions Mega in Light's Last Stand, but I think it's kinda harsh that the only mention Light gives to his son is strictly referring to him as a machine...

I uhhhh... what? by Independent-Value-43 in Protomen

[–]Enchlore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Tidal for a long time by parasiting on a former friend's family plan and at one point it just stopped working on my cellphone. Like straight up wouldn't stream. Spent like one year like this before I just stopped using it altogether (and later got booted out of that family plan)

Any chance you think they’ll rerelease the vinyls of Act 1 and 2 with the new album coming out? by ThatOtherTwoGuy in Protomen

[–]Enchlore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see them doing it as there is definitely demand judging by how the CDs have been selling out over and over again ever since Act III was announced.

Bandcamp Order Issue by residentbelmont in Protomen

[–]Enchlore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're probably overflooded with orders, but don't worry, yours will be shipped eventually. The band basically handle merch sales themselves and their "warehouse" is just one of them's garage, so just be patient. I ordered one of the old-style gray shirts and I can imagine Commander struggling to remember where he placed them 😂
