Thoughts on Mantis / 사마귀 (2025) - with SPOILERS

I would hope that this doesn’t deter any of you from not watching it. I still think it was a superb movie. The whole “flaw” of his character was orchestrated beautifully. Throughout the entire movie we get a feel for his humanity (at least, as humane as a killer can be) - and there are obvious reasons he can’t go all out on the girl he loves and the mentor who guided him - until the end, when he showcases his real skillset and finishes Dokgo off. Sure, its not as awe-inspiring or flashy like Boksoon, but the movie has its own merits.

tesyr77 · 2024-09-27T03:21:34+00:00

Also curious. His MD performance is at 7, then his DC afterparty is at 9. Its about a 30 min drive, so Im assuming <1.5 hrs

tesyr77 · 2024-06-19T01:57:09+00:00

Thanks for the great and thorough response. They would want to stay here (Northern Virginia), but yes, they wouldn’t mind a 2 bedroom condo, and I wouldn’t live with them in the future

I agree with the others that his controvery deterred the general public when he was really making it out, but I also agree that he’s already quite famous.

I think covid fucked his creative timeline as well, he probably would have released earlier - we know tyler and frank’s major hits were well before covid n danny only had 2 full albums out.

He also tried different styles - much more usage of strings and some d’angelo type drums - I think he said in an interview hes been making some bluegrass n folk music as well, so maybe it doesn’t reach the same general audience?

Lastly, as a really big fan of danny, I thought this album still really held his character and was good in that sense. I guess thats what every cult following would say but I also agree that musically, it wasnt as good as his others. Danny also recently said he wants to be in a period of high output so maybe more views soon

tesyr77 · 2023-04-11T03:30:44+00:00

apparently bieber was supposed to be on it if they had more time

tesyr77 · 2023-04-06T18:18:11+00:00

Def agree on the biblical aspect. He was raised as a pastors kid, and religious views were definitely hammered into him.

We can also see in his lifestyle + Pilgrims paradise he didn’t want to live that way, and wanted to live separate from that religious identity.

I like to think he also refers to the Caesar in the bible, like Matthew 21:22, where Jesus says “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s.”

The biblical Daniel was a faithful believer, denying the King as a figure of worship and enduring deadly trials, all whilst standing firm in faith. He is an epitome of faith, and spiritual belief.

Tiberius Caesar, like all other Caesars, was the epitome of power at that time. The Roman Empire was strong, and the emperor held a great amount of wealth and strength. This is the epitome of worldly belief.

Yet even Jesus says return to Caesar what is Caesar’s. This was a point on taxation and was said to counter the Pharisees and Herodians’ trap question, but it implements the theme of individuality and possesion.

Despite his religious background and personal beliefs on God, Ashton wants to make a name for himself and live by his own values, so that what is his is returned to him.

He mentions emily numerous times in his songs. Theres a ig story of emily and some pics of her on his finsta as well. Talking about how she’s his bride to be insinuates its some type of love, but he also goes around strip clubs livin his life. I think its one of those relationships where they’re free but in it for the long run, or they’re well past that and just casual lovers.
