Chapter 2539: Battle for the Cloak (Sixty-Nine)
Chapter 2513: The Battle for the Cape (Sixty-nine)
The turning point happened one night.
The Laughing Bat's face gradually became ugly.
It was close to Christmas, Jason's illness was basically cured, and Spider-Man was doing the final Christmas tree decoration. But after hanging all the decorations, he found that the Christmas tree was not bright enough. Some lights were missing, and it looked a little dim and the effect was not good.
But the next day was Christmas Eve, and most stores would be closed. It would definitely be too late to buy them at that time.
So Jason and Spider-Man decided to go out tonight and buy more colored lights to make the Christmas tree brighter.
While walking on the road, they had another debate between superheroes and ordinary people. They were probably still saying that the quiet time now is rare, and they should really cherish the heroic dream. It's not too late to talk about it after Christmas.
Everyone could clearly hear that the thoughts of the two young heroes at this time have begun to lean towards the pursuit of an ordinary happy life, so the design of the Laughing Bat has actually been achieved.
But another problem arises. If this is the case, there is no need for the Laughing Bat to skip the 20 years, because the script is correct if it continues like this.
The young hero gave up his heroic dream because he indulged in pleasure, and he repented when he encountered a disaster in middle age. The first half went smoothly, but it would be fine if it continued like this. Why adjust the time?
Everyone knows that this kind of screen black after 20 years is a relatively low-level processing method, which is not often used in TV dramas.
Even if it is used, it must be logical. For example, the male and female protagonists broke up and spent 10 years each. These 10 years are not the meat of the drama. The audience does not want to see how they lived when they were apart, but wants to see how they reunited after they reunited.
So this part of the plot can only be skipped, otherwise it will lead to a watery plot without focus, and it will also lead to a drop in ratings. Then skipping time when the screen flashes is a better choice.
But if the director wants to show the reunion, and the audience also wants to see it, after the hero and heroine are separated and heartbroken, they each describe how sad they are in their later lives. The screen flashes, 10 years have passed, the two get married, and the process of reunion is skipped. You just have to see if the director gets beaten up.
The Laughing Bat is designed to show the transformation of the heroes' mental journey from youth to middle age. Although the repentance in middle age is important, you can't help but show us the change of ideas in youth. What is this movie about?
Jason had been sick before and his mind was unclear. It is normal for people to desire a peaceful life when they are weak. This special idea under special circumstances is not universal.
Peter had been bullied before, and he was also in an abnormal life. It was normal for some of his ideas to be distorted at this time, which was not convincing enough.
Moreover, both of them were relatively withdrawn people, without a normal social environment around them. The choices they made were the only choices they could make at that time. There were no other options for them to choose, so the state they presented could only be like that.
The transformation in this situation is not called self-cognition, but being pushed by society and fate.
But now, both of them have gotten rid of their previous environment. One can temporarily ignore the traumatic past, and the other finally has the powerful power he has always dreamed of. The two also accompany each other, establish a new network of relationships, and finally have a normal life.
Then they finally began to have the energy to think about the future path, standing at a crossroads to make a choice like most ordinary people.
They are also discussing this matter, and their views are not completely unified. They are still entangled, hesitant, and confused.
Then with a click, this process was skipped. They finished their choice, and they chose the road that the theme of the movie wanted to highlight. Isn't this a joke? Why did they choose this way? Why did they choose this way?
Your director worked hard to design a series of plot conflicts, so that the two of them were placed in the environment of ordinary people and became more like ordinary people. Isn't it just to make them more resonant with ordinary people when discussing choices?
Do ordinary audiences feel that "I think he is right because I thought so at the time" or "I think he is wrong because I thought so at the time"?
Only by letting the audience find resonance in them and extend it to themselves can the audience's thinking be triggered. Even if the decision they make in the end is different from that of the audience, at least a new possibility is presented to the audience.
As a result, the thinking section was skipped directly, and both of them made a certain choice, which makes people feel that this is not the choice of the character, nor the choice of the audience, but the choice of the director.
It is the director who uses a loud speaker to play "This road is right! This road is good! No matter how much you discuss and think, you will definitely take this road!"
The audience hates being represented.
And this is different from the original intention of the play. The purpose of the Laughing Bat bringing in Jason is to prove that young heroes will also be corrupted by a stable and happy life and eventually give up their ideals and dreams.
If you skip the part about why he gave up and directly control him to lose his memory and make this choice, why not just create a plot character that is completely under your control?
Everyone present always feels that the Laughing Bat is stupid, but he may not be so stupid. Can't he see such obvious inconsistencies?
Obviously, there is something else.
Just when Jason and Spider-Man went out to buy a lamp, they heard a cry for help, which was the scream of a little girl from the alley next door.
From the movements of the two of them turning around and running, it can be seen that they were completely out of instinct. They rushed over the moment they heard the scream, and then saw the terrifying figure of the Claw Killer standing in front of the little girl.
Jason, who had just recovered from a serious illness and had not fully recovered his physical strength, also instinctively rushed up and hugged the little girl, while Peter, who had great strength, threw the killer down.
The killer disappeared quickly, and the two comforted the little girl, whose cries echoed in the alley.
The two stayed awake all night.
The next morning, they went out early without even having time to hang up the lights they bought last night. They bought a lot of newspapers about the Claw Killer and collected all the recent news reports about him, as if they were trying to find out where this hateful criminal was.
Wait, why is this plot a bit wrong?
Oh, everyone suddenly understood that it was not the Laughing Bat who wanted to jump 20 years, but he had to jump.
Because if he didn't jump, this would become a superhero movie about a young hero fighting crime.
Before, there was illness, bullying, and breaking the teddy bear. All these preparations were useless. When the little girl cried, the two wanted to eat the damn criminal alive.
"Human beings are emotional creatures," Schiller said. "Only when there is no emergency, no passion, no survival crisis, no environmental pressure, or to be more precise, when they have nothing to do, will they start to think philosophically."
"And they must have the right time, place, and people, no accidents, no misfortunes, so that they can smoothly embark on the path of the results of their own thinking."
"If there are any accidents, this is completely impossible." Schiller shook his head, put down his pen and said, "If everyone can plan a path for themselves at the age of 20 and can successfully walk on this path to the end, human society will not be what it is now."
"The reason is that those accidents are just due to the momentary passion, lack of reason, Slow thinking, unclear logic, or knowing whether it is right or wrong, but just not having the self-control to make the right choice. "
"It's the same for young heroes. Even if they know what is good for themselves, they can't control themselves. "
"Maybe the night before, they were still thinking about what harm their behavior might cause to others, and they analyzed it clearly and decided to repent and change their ways. The next day, when they saw a robbery, they rushed up and beat up the criminals regardless of anything. "
"The reason is that even the most brilliant psychologists in the world can't explain it clearly. All we can say is that you should not ask about human affairs. "
Everyone also understood that the Claw Killer manipulated by Schiller was actually just a cover. This is a typical hat trick.
The Claw Killer did not commit crimes to disrupt the situation in the city and destroy the background of the story so that it could not be performed. The real killer was actually the little girl played by the puppeteer.
This is a very simple logical trap. A terrifying killer who is being watched and reported everywhere and a group of innocent children who are just poor victims, who looks more like the troublemaker?
Because the Laughing Bat is just such a killer who has been destroying the background story of a certain universe, so he naturally thinks that the person who disturbed him must also want to do the same.
In the end, this killer must want to reverse black and white, whitewash himself as a righteous person, and remind the protagonists of his story, the group of young heroes, to wake up so that they can rise up and resist, so that the play can't go on, because the Laughing Bat did this before.
He told all the Robins and Batmans who were polluted by him that your universe is going to be destroyed, and there are others who will destroy the universe, and I am here to help you, so this group of people will listen to his instructions.
But Schiller didn't, the Claw Killer played a villain from beginning to end, and even the real killer girl was not to wake up the heroes, but to make them hot-blooded, completely ignoring their previous thinking and discussion, and purely relying on emotions.
The essence of superheroes is to act on impulse.
They would never choose this path because of gains and losses, but because they can't bear to see others suffer and the law is unable to punish certain super criminals, so they choose to be a superhero on the edge of social order.
If they really considered the gains and losses of order, they should choose to go to the police academy to become police officers, study law to become lawyers, and go to medical school to treat diseases and save people. It is because they cannot think so much, and they are superheroes purely out of passion, rather than police, lawyers, and doctors.
So the best way to make the Laughing Bat pull a shocking lump in this play is not to reason with Jason and Spider-Man, but to stimulate their passion.
Sure enough, it was found that the two young heroes threw away all the previous discussions in just one night, and planned to rush up to fight with the super criminals. The Laughing Bat, who was broken, pulled a big lump on the spot.
Ignoring the previous rules, ignoring the theme of the play, and even giving up his mental tug-of-war with the real Bruce, chose to descend directly.
This is exactly Schiller's purpose.
Because it forced the Laughing Bat to reveal his true nature-he only has ability, but no talent.
I know you are going to be killed by the previous part, and the author is going to be schizophrenic... hurry up and dig up the stories of the minor characters... no, he is Kuang Aotian... perfect the background... no, Kuang Xiao doesn't care... write about the psychological game... no, Kuang Xiao can't... I quit, I want to write it myself... no, Kuang Xiao is ooc...
