This show is so damn good. The writing is amazing, visuals are stunning, acting is top notch (confident David was almost as unnerving in his own way as shook & scared David playing Rainbow Connection was, and Aubrey Plaza is killing it), and the music fits perfectly.



It's so great how they plucked out and completely re-imagined the concept of this mutant character to examine and play with visualizing mental powers & mental illness in television the same way Claremont & Sienkiewicz used the comics medium to explore the same subject matter by having the New Mutants running around in David's mindscape. It's so on point to the spirit and intent of the original story while being totally and completely its own thing.

Astral plane - Wikipedia

  • In the Marvel Universe, the Astral Plane is the realm of minds. Telepaths are able to access the Astral Plane by projecting their mind onto this realm, more commonly known as Astral Projecting, this also allowing them to enter the minds of others.

Think of the collective unconscious being represented as a physical place that everyone's mind is connected to. Psychics can tap into that plane to access other minds through it, but, also, more powerful psychics can enter into that realm and manipulate it, kind of how a lucid dreamer can take control of their dreams. That's why Oliver can project his own little ice cube place and why David copied that idea for making him & Syd a bedroom to bump & grind in.

The Truth
Finished the episode

:whew:

shyt is a lot clearer now. Shadow King been leeching off bruh since he was a child. The dog, Lenny, Benny, the angry boy, etc., have all been Shadow King hiding himself to David and manipulating his memories. So he was never really crazy

:wow:


Thing is, how was other people able to see Lenny in the original mental hospital:patrice:

She must've actually existed at some point.


David/Shadow King blowing everybody up :wow:

I think the next episode is them in a world Shadow King created in their minds but technically they are in the house still.

They can't keep playing with my emotions like that :picard: . I'm not easily scared from shows, but the Shadow King coming after Syd on the bed like that was :damn:. Show's visuals have been on point, but tonight I really noticed all the audio things they were doing. Just taking away the groups ability to speak at the end, really added to the horror of the situation.

When David was talking to Melanie in the beginning and you heard Lenny's voice

The visual of Cary talking to the group on the transmitter

Seeing the camera footage of David/Shadow King walking thru and murking everybody :wow:

Syd is going to be the key to breaking free of whatever mental prison the Shadow King has them in.

Syd's story about how she lost her virginity :bryan:
