It stands to reason that after so many years of development in the animation industry, the audience has seen many routines, and it is not uncommon for the protagonist to fail.
But like in "Joker", a mastermind suddenly appeared behind the scenes, and the unparalleled killing of the protagonist Klein, as well as the popular captain, and the final conspiracy was successfully promoted to a high-level and walked away, the audience really believed it. have not seen.
But at this time, "it's more exciting after the commercials" started again, which made the audience scratch their heads and flocked to the forum to start complaining.
This is not to complain about "it's more exciting after advertising". Although there is no difference between TV and mobile phones in this world, advertising still exists.
For anime like "Lord of the Mystery", if the finale is twice as long as normal, animation is allowed to be inserted in the middle. With the development of the market, audiences now understand.
So in this world, not only "Lord of the Mysteries" but many anime will do this, the finale episode is twice as long as normal, and then leaves suspense in the middle to provide room for advertising.
This is also an operation that tests the quality of animation. If the suspense left by the animation is not attractive enough, some people will not watch it because of this advertisement.
After all, there are ads only during the first playback. If I wait a few days to watch the recording, wouldn’t I be able to fast forward without having to watch ads?
Of course, "Lord of the Mysteries" relies on its excellent quality to avoid losing viewers due to advertising. In fact, the viewers were very anxious and just went to the forum to discuss it temporarily.
The audience, who don't like to take the initiative to analyze the foreshadowing of the plot, are lamenting the death of the captain and complaining about how Qinghai Hairao was so caught off guard.
The audience had a good impression of the captain who helped Klein enter the extraordinary world. No one expected that he would die so suddenly.
The previous teammate Neil's loss of control and execution were foreshadowed in advance, so even though he felt sad at the time, he was still mentally prepared.
But the captain is completely different this time. Although it is true that the captain is mentally unstable, everyone expected that there might be some problems, but they did not expect that you would die immediately.
When being executed by the mysterious strong man, many viewers seemed to be sleepwalking. For a moment, they thought they were dreaming. In the dream, when I took a breath, everyone from the captain to Klein died?
At this time, the forum was mainly composed of two parts. One was mourning the sudden death of the captain, and the other was discussing the strong man who suddenly appeared.
No one cares about Klein's living condition. The reason is relatively simple. He is a dignified protagonist. As long as Qinghai comes up with a second season, Klein will not die, so they are more concerned about who the mysterious strong man is.
Although there is still half of the content of the first season of "Joker", according to the length of previous animations, it is equivalent to actually having a final episode.
But the audience is not optimistic that in this last episode, the protagonist Klein, whose heart has been crushed, will be able to complete a desperate counterattack, solve the mysterious strongman who suddenly appeared, and save all this tragedy.
"Unless Qinghai doesn't want to be shameless and just plays deus ex machina with you and forcibly creates a big tragedy to send the protagonist away, otherwise it will definitely take a lot of time in the second half to explain to you the origin of this mysterious and powerful man. "
"Even a simple explanation is not enough. It must be explained how this mysterious strong man is related to the previous plot, otherwise it will appear too abruptly."
At this time, Ge Zhaodu scolded Fang Zun on the forum, stating his current views on the development of the plot, and refuting those who thought the plot had collapsed.
He had long felt that in the daily drama atmosphere of "Lord of Mysteries", there was a hidden thread that he was not aware of, and now was probably the moment when the hidden thread surfaced.
As long as this hidden thread is written well enough and can connect the previous clues together and finally converge on this mysterious strong man, then the plot of "Lord of the Mysteries" will not collapse. Not only will it not collapse, it will even become more exciting.
After all, no matter how much the audience complains, the fact is that tragedy is more impressive. As far as the current situation is concerned, "Lord of the Mystery" is already tragic enough, it just depends on the subsequent arrangements.
The storytellers gave full play to their subjective initiative and used this short commercial time to explore the identity of the mysterious strong man based on previous clues.
Because viewers like Ge Zhaodu don't believe that a mysterious powerful person will suddenly appear without any foreshadowing, and they believe that there must be foreshadowing.
The plot party members immediately started brainstorming, and soon judged the clues and found clues from various information in "Joker".
"Actually, before this episode was released, our team was aware of the foreshadowing hidden in the daily drama, so we made preparations in advance so that we could announce it so quickly now."
“We divided the hidden foreshadowing we found into three categories, namely short-term answered foreshadowing, short-term unanswered foreshadowing and long-term unanswered foreshadowing.”
Then, at the bottom of the post, there was a table they had compiled before, with three color boxes on it to highlight the collected foreshadowings.
Even Zhong Shanze couldn't help but sigh when he saw this table. These plot gangsters really spent a lot of effort on the plot.
"The so-called foreshadowing that has been answered in the short term is easy to explain. The animation of this season of "Joker" is basically a unit drama style, and some foreshadowing is just for use in this chapter."
"As for the remaining two categories, they can be attributed to unanswered foreshadowing, and because we are not sure about the future development of the plot, whether those unanswered foreshadowings are short-term or long-term is based on our personal speculation and is for reference only."
"I cannot guarantee that my classification method is correct. If you have different opinions on this, you can raise questions in the comment area."
"Although short-term unanswered foreshadowing seems better, it is related to the upcoming first season finale, so instead, long-term unanswered foreshadowing can be discussed first."
"The so-called long-term unanswered foreshadowings include how Klein traveled through time, what the meaning of the murmur in his mind was, who Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun is, etc."
"'Lord of the Mysteries' is obviously not an anime that ends in one season, so these long-unanswered foreshadowings may take many seasons before the answers are presented to us."
"So when we discuss what the finale of the first season will be like and who the mysterious man is, this kind of long-term unanswered foreshadowing is useless. What we really need to pay attention to is the short-term unanswered foreshadowing."
