I feel like people who didn't like Iron Lung because 'it all felt so hopeless' are not getting the right thing out of it.

Something something the oxygen meter going up and Simon somehow having enough air for days longer then he should and how the sub essentially becomes a part of Simon and how blood carries oxygen and what is the purpose of a real Iron lung anyways and iron is what carries oxygen in human blood after all and the blood trying to make him one with the ship because it was already breathing for him and the eldritch forces genuinely can't understand why he's still fighting to maintain his autonomy and sense of self in the face of something so much bigger than him, when it would just be so much easier and less painful to allow himself to be subsumed

Unseen. Unheard. Uncontrolled.

My favorite bit of the making of Iron Lung was all the cool camerawork:

markiplier is such an inspiration for pursuing art not for the money or the fame that it may provide, but pursuing art for the love of it. iron lung is an enormous achievement for mark, for indie filmmaking, and for indie art in general. in an age where capitalism is at its worse and ai is threatening to overtake the medium, the existence of people like mark in the mainstream keeps art alive.

i can't stop thinking about that scene in the beginning where simon is at the control panel and that shadowy figure darts off to the side where the computer is. and then parallel to that scene towards the end where simon is at the back of the sub and looks over to the control panel and sees that horrific (almost humanoid?) creature with too many teeth sitting in the chair and simon quickly darts over to hide by the computer almost like what that shadowy figure did in that earlier scene

I love how much Iron Lung and Markiplier just
