Um yeah ok so like- INSTANT favorite movie.

I'm not even really a huge Markiplier fan- I watched a few of his videos here and there since I was a kid, but never been an actual subscriber. Nonetheless, I watched his gameplay of Iron Lung and was excited to hear he was making a movie adaptation! I never had much interest in his other film projects, but had a feeling this would be much more up my alley- and my GOD,,, when I tell you I cried and grieved so much from this movie,,,

First of all- the atmosphere??? If you can't tell from the other fandoms I'm in (John Wick, Alien, Predator, Hellsing, Black Butler, DOOM, etc.) I LOOOOOOOVE gritty gorey bloodbaths and the vengeful wrathful souls behind them. The rusty old ship felt so isolating and claustrophobic, yet so familiar and homey given my other interests. It was just so METAL.

But secondly??? Um??? The quiet rapture??? It's suuuuuch a haunting and frankly existentially horrific concept as a deep deep lover of space. Not to get too personal, but the celestial bodies, especially the stars, are so near and dear to me that I literally pray to them instead of a god. So to imagine a universe where they all just suddenly disappear for seemingly no reason???? It would be worst than death to me, and it's just where the story begins.

Simon was such a loveable character, and I found the long silent minutes with him just mumbling to himself so personal and endearing. Something about Mark's acting makes him so easy to insert yourself into and made the movie that much more emotional.

I only have one more silly Iron Lung drawing planned after this (tho I might draw some more later, this is just my immediate inspirations after watching the movie a few times) so I figured I'd get most of my final ramblings about this movie out <3

I just wanted to say AVA,,,, <3 <3 <3 From just the trailer, her voice gave me immediate chills and literally made me sit up straight. The RAWNESS in her acting is so fucking good and I was latched onto her every word,, She perfectly matched Mark's energy and made the whole movie so much more intense.

And the other voices in the radio and the monster!?! Soooo trippy and revived my love for lovecraftian eldritch horror,,,, The ending was so vague yet just clear enough to leave me inspired and satisfied,, I love watching all the theories, wether I think they're right or not.

I wish I had someone to verbally ramble to cause I feel like I speak better than I write and, again, I could literally go on for hours about all the smallest details,,,
