I WAS FRICKING RIGHT!! FOMO IS YOUTUBE AND DOS IS DISNEY!!!
So I've been thinking alot after Ep. 4 (for....reasons 🥲) but opened up and brought attention of somethings.
One of them being that we get to see more of other Hero Agencies, glimpses of how they operate, and what each of their "brand" is for the Hero Commission.I'd like to dedicated this post on the info that we know and my on personal theories on them.
First off, we have the Treeman Group whose CEO is Mr. Shand. For their employed Hero/Villain rooster so far has featured:
Nice
Moon
Wreck
Firm Man
Blankster
Lin Ling ( new recruit )
Translated desc.- "a hero agency that makes good use of marketing to shape the hero's personality" (@tbhx_officialCN)
From what we've seen, the mangers and staff take in precaution on how their heroes are depicted on stage, their meet-ups with fans, as well as crafting a boosting narrative for their heroes trust values to grow in the eyes of the fans. They are not above bribery, coercion, and stunt casting in order to push their quota ( as seen by the actions of Miss.J )
Also from what I've seen and gathered, it seems that Treeman possibly owns much of the real estate and city development in this world cause much of their promo features a lot of residential areas and shopping districts with their brand on them.
So maybe them hiring people to play the part of villains is because they are the ones who are able to rebuild plus reshape how fans live and consume.
Up next is FOMO, which literally stands for "Fear of Missing Out". Their CEO seems to be this young guy named Zac. Their rooster so far consists of:
Loli
Ahu
Translated desc.- "provides ordinary people with opportunities to speak out and become famous" (@tbhx_officialCN)
So from their general description they seem like the mostly are in tune with what regular people are doing, and finding out what's new and fresh.
From the look of their office space, FOMO it's the most colorful and lively of the 4 agencies. It gives off what a lot of start-up tech, social media, and web HQs like Google and Youtube.
It's possible that most, if not all, of their heroes started out as Influencers or people that became heroes through viral moments on the web. Maybe their dark side is that their heroes have to keep coming up with more new, and exciting acts or content to please their fans to keep raking in Trust Value.
It could be more possible that FOMO has the same guide lines like YouTube, Twitter, and Twitch. ( Which would be pretty bleak ^^')
Third, we have Mighty Glory whose CEO is the mystery guy right here. Their rooster, as far as we know, consist of:
E-Soul
Ghostblade
Dragon Boy
Translated desc.- "The ace hero organization Mighty Glory has successfully cultivated many high-ranking heroes" (@tbhx_officialCN)
Just looking at the main heroes they have, this agency mainly focuses on acquiring heroes that have a wide-ranged of fighting and physical skills.
They also seem to have morally gray code and ethics. Some not against pummeling or killing those that they deemed "deserve it".
My theories on the CEO is that he is collects and sees their heroes how a Roman Emperor does with Gladiators. They are valued solely on their combatant attributes and merciless displays, but are kept in line behind the scenes like wild animals or slaves.
And lastly, we have DOS. I have yet to find what it the abbreviation means, but this is their CEO, Mickey. Their hero rooster, so far in the show, consists of:
Queen
Lucky Cyan
The Johnnies
Translated desc. - "DOS pursues high efficiency by acquiring a large number of small hero companies to grow stronger." (@tbhx_officialCN)
So it seems like they are the largest AND most powerful agency out of the collective 4. It has a very...Disney way of acquiring more heroes to cultivate it's company.
They have means to tap into different markets of branding for their heroes.
On one brand, you can appeal to animal lovers and sell marketable mascot plushies, and on the other, you can appeal to pop star and music fans who want to see their favorite idol to succeed.
Not to mention they hold one of the strongest powerhouses to take the title of X.
O_O!!
Disney Evil! This company is willing to obtain and cultivate their heroes so it can become the most controlling Hero IP out in the world (This CEO is Steve Jobs and Bob Iger rolled into one).
So if their was ever a chance or motive for these agencies claim to dominance. it's DOS.
So I hope you enjoyed my on-the spot, collective analysis and ramblings on the agencies so far. I'm still holding on to some other theories and little details I spot that I want to post soon (hopefully a shorter one ^^')
IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!
We are one chapter away from the finale. I’d never thought that I would make it this far, but here I am. It will probably updated sometime today or tomorrow depending on schoolwork. Hope you Pyoncer fans will enjoy!
This type of fame where "you become to hot til your not" usually applies to pop stars or idols. It would be interesting if this theme was also applied to Lucky Cyan story.
From her name alone, it seems like everything comes up daisies for her in the eyes of her fans, but the always doing no wrong in the eyes of everyone, including yourself.
One of her quotes:
"I want to become a normal person. One who makes mistakes. That's my true self, after all."
Makes me believe that it could be possible that her draw back of being "Lucky" is that she can't excite herself anymore and she loses parts of her inspiration to make music. Which in turn my cause the company to take notice and find someone that fits the bill with easier strings to make them perform to their brand.
I recently just rewatch the Disney movie Cars.
And boy, can I just say it has a major theme that fits perfectly with the thene in tbhx.
Because the scene between McQueen and Doc Hudson as the old race car revealed the news article of his accident that force him out of the season.
The hard hitting line when McQueen asked, "Why did you leave at the top of your game?"
And he answered, "I didn't quit. They quit on me."
The way Doc recalled how he had been out back together and ready to race again. Only to be pointed out, "You're History" and easily replaced with a new rookie.
The troupe of fame being short-lived and conditional is such a classic theme and true for every period. The movie became a sad reminder that the world has always been this way.
Ngl, I'm really hoping one of the characters, or at least one of the Xs has the same backstory.
The same theme is already hinted with Lin Ling's pinkie finger exclamation of Nice "being replaced". But both Nice and OG E-Soul's case is more opposite yet parallel theme where the company is adamantly trying to keep both "brands" in the game regardless of the consequences.
So it would be soooo interesting if they cover a story where the company instead easily abandon the hero the moment it didn't meet their expectations or made a single mistake, along with the aftermath. And if I'm not I'm gonna write one myself!
This was an underrated movie of the year
There were so many good movies in 2018 😍🎥🎞🎬🎟❤️
Moodboard
In the process of replaying Last Legacy ( Mostly Sage’s Route) and redesigning my MC. This moodboard was fun to do and helped me get a good read on her and her aesthetics.
I need to know if there ok or not.
I hope Adachitoka-sensei will recuperate soon! We don’t even have any info about them :(
Yeah I agree. I think his voice verges more towards Tuesday’s softness and acoustics. I believe he has the ability to auto-tune his voice but I thinks he’s more captivated by the realness or simplistic style of music. ( For my irl singer I’d go for the lead singer in 4 Door Theatre)
I bet was probably a band geek when he was younger and doesn’t talk about as much because he was embarrassed by the uniform he had to wear 😆
Like do you guys have singing voice headcanons for him?! If so i’d love to hear ‘em!
Completely ignoring the last few minutes of Episode 6 for a moment, what are you guys' ideas for the ship name between Yang Cheng x Xia Qing x Shang Chao?
I'm personally partial to 3-Soul.
Loves Anime. Loves Marvel. Loves Comics. Love Everything......sometimes.
