"I'm allowed to know what spiderman is"
Thank you Jonny, I know some of the other people here don't understand why you felt the need to put a direct warning at the beginning of this one, but I get it, you needed to apologize for breaking your personal rule. I actually think you said it best "hard not to bring your own baggage to a world you've made out of it"
"I'm allowed to know what Spider-Man is," had the same energy as "I could be on drugs."
the same energy, but in the polar opposite direction
"yes i know what a meme is"
I think the closer they get to London the more the fear domains overlap and meld with eachother.
"The laws have changed"
Listening to this episode again, with the added context of the Tories trying to pass laws that give the police even more fascistic power.... This line hit hard.
I'm more worried about speech laws.
Say a thing today on a social media, it gets illegal in 5 years and there you go.
Or maybe complain about the quarantine in Australia.
@@MetalAcrean The internet is a beast with many faces. Things won't disappear from it. Besides, if I have to choose between fighting a free speech law because some people can't say something on a forum or fight against a law that allows the police to arrest people for peacefully protesting and enabling fascism, I know which one I'm gonna fight first.
What stops the police from monitoring the internet and arresting you at your home for comments like this though?
This is what worries me.
@@MetalAcrean Well, if we stop the fascistic bills like the one that stops us from gathering and protesting, then it won't get to those laws.
I understand that this episode has broken a rule Jonny made about his writing, and I am glad that he could be open about that, but I am also glad that he still chose to tell the story. It was a good episode, and it would make sense for a place such as this to be explored in their travels across the Hellscape, in my opinion.
I love how Jon finally gets to talk about what it was like to be considered "one of them" since the start, and checking in with Martin about HIS experiences. Martin isn't as powerful, I don't even know if he can still vanish at will, but he is less human than the ones suffering. It's an interesting gradient.
I can't imagine doing a program like this one for so long without real world experience and trauma finding a way in. That being said, your continued awareness of the subject matter you use is appreciated
18:50 so his course of action was to.... insult the only people who could have helped him..... *GENIUS*
No held anger against you. Sometimes we HAVE to touch on real world stuff in our stories. I think sometimes authors do it without thinking, honest. The episode was great, and thank you for the warning! It touched on a lot of hard stuff (and a lot of this podcast did, things I've personally dealt with even) and that's probably why I enjoy it so much.
15:08 martin isn't just his plus one, he's also..... eye candy hehehe *ba dum tss*
as for the episode itself, here's some things i enjoyed: great conversation between jon and martin. i'm glad we get these moments where jon gets to talk about what he's gone through and the effect it's had on his state of mind. like, we all listened to him be dehumanized and ridiculed by other avatars while he was just trying to understand what was happening to him, but it's good to hear him talk about it on his own terms. asking martin how he feels, processing the complicity they unwillingly share in this situation, and still being able to share some soft banter together all feeds me so well.
the interaction with the inspector is great, because on the one hand, this guy can go get fucked, but on the other hand, it's good that martin is as uncomfortable as he clearly is in being the judge to decide his fate. so much of the magnus archives is trying to make the best decision when there are no good choices available, and while i think he made the right choice here, it's good that it doesn't feel right. (that said, love that the decision comes after the inspector called jon a scrawny little tit. like 'okay, you're gonna be rude to my boyfriend? bye then.')
This was hard but thank you for the forewarning and thank you for still telling it. It still needs to be told, especially with the past year.
Being a russian citizen and listening to this episode I gotta say - this is on top of my nightmare list.
We finally get to see our justice system represented in a Nightmarish Hell Landscape!
Когда я писала, что люблю эпизоды, связанные с Россией, я не совсем об этом думала🥲
I love it when Martin swears. It's so cute
I know this episode was more serious than the other episodes but I just wanted to say I love the fact that Martin has scary dog privileges(Jon is the scary dog obviously)
keep in mind that these youtube videos are added some time after their initial release. the original ep was put out in nov of 2020. a lot of real-world things happened that can drastically change the context of the media you are consuming. not every content warning has to be given solely for your own sake, and based on jonnys apology and rq's handling of the episode it is obvious something that they thought about.
as for the episode itself, i am thrilled to see more of jon's humor and happy that he does indeed know who spider-man is aha.
I've been bracing myself to get back to this series for a while, and it's been worth it to hear Martin say shit
Jon, I appreciate you drawing from your own experiences to make this. I understand that it's not at all pleasant, and that you felt like you've crossed a line, but it produced a more impactful product. I only wish this episode had become far less relevant between when you recorded it and now.
The prison here seems to be a diffuse mix of different Fears, kind of like the monument to desperate scholars: the cops are The Stranger, the cell could be The Buried, the implied surveillance is The Eye, the officials altering legislation could be The Spiral, the folks outside the prison could be some mixture of The Lonely and The Desolation (they make our unnamed prisoner feel isolated from the outside world but cause her physical and emotional pain nonetheless with how they treat her)
I feel like they all combine to make a unique fear of total injustice, that fear that accompanies the feeling of how wrong something is.
The themes of being controlled/coerced/trapped by manipulating oppressive forces made me think of The Web, too.
The fact that it shares so many different elements from various powers makes me believe this one might be the Extinction. I mean, injustice was often thought by people who feared the apocalypse as a major part of it, so I don’t think it’s that far of a stretch to believe that this part of the Extinction is the specific fear of a dystopian apocalypse like 1984. Actually reminds me quite a bit of the Trial by Franz Kafka.
It's weird how some of the people trapped are lucid and aware and some aren't, depending on their fears.
The majority of this felt a lot like my battles with depression and anxiety....
Hi Johnny! Pretty good episode. Treated the incarsaration topic very well.
Hi Alex!
I know I’m not the first one in these comments to say it, but there’s only so much you can do with fear before it gets personal. I don’t know that I would have been able to handle some of these topics with half as much grace as you have, Jonny. The warning was appreciated, though, especially listening to this in 2024 with the state of the world. It was well written and I’m glad that it was published as originally written anyway. We can’t ignore the rise of authoritarianism across the world, easier to confront it here than in the news.
😢my heart broke listening to that intro Jonny. I'm so sorry you felt you had to put this trigger warning and that you've suffered police brutality. I have as well, even as a teen. It's getting scary out here in the world and it inevitably bleeds into our creations. Don't apologize for being authentic and true to yourself. You're and amazing writer and I love you all! 💚✨🥹
although the disclamer was made in context of 2020's events, I still needed to hear it. I chose to listen to the episode regardless, but the warning helped to get in a more suting headspace, so to speak. still hit pretty hard, considering that I live in a country where this scenario is quite likely to happen, especially if you speak up against the opressors. Martin plain said f da police and I respect that
I Didn't Think The Leopards Would Eat _My_ Face: The Statement
This episode really put some of my own feelings and expeiriences into words in a way i could never and it gives me so much peace and closure i suppose. The warning at the beging also let me know what this episode means in general and what it means to you all who wrote it
Edit: "scrawny little tit" wth is that supposed to mean dude, how could u say that insultingly to our favorite archivist. wth, dude, not cool.
Wow Jonny sounded so tired and sad in the intro bit there I really hope you're feeling better nowadays 🙏
If it helps to hear I've been adoring TMA and think it's gotta be the best concepted, written, acted thing I've seen/heard n I'm sure a ton of others would agree me with, plus the representation in it is really nice and natural rather than feeling shoved in, it's done just right with people being people
I have loved this show and really appreciate the warnings you give at the start of various episodes. Sometimes I've been in a place where I'm not ready for the content that horror explores and am glad to have a heads up so I know what to expect. I think it's even more important in horror than other genres since it so often serves as an exploration of pain. Personally that's why I like horror so much. It helps me understand the fears of others and reminds me that I'm not alone when I find myself in dark places. Thank you for sharing your work and I hope that doing so has helped you work through your own pain.
even though he was a crumby person that begging was heartbreaking...
lol, that guy shouldn't have insulted John in front of Martian. He might have let him out if he didn't call him a tit. That ending though... Why is it whenever Martian swears I'm squealing with glee? I don't know I just find it adorable when he curses.
m a r t i a n
@@twigthetroll9279 I knew this would be the reply b4 I saw it X"D
I feel like that police guy at the end kinda deserves it? The dude (allegedly) falsified evidence and got people he thought were guilty into jail, he kinda deserves the life he got people into?
“ im allowed to know what spider man is 😒 „
Write what you know. It makes your work all the more moving.
this one hits different when you live in a totalitarian state
I know im late, but i understand you writing this.
This is one of the biggest struggles i have heard and seen (never experienced) and have a huge disgust for the bad side of the government. People who go through this dont deserve that at all. No good soul does.
Thank you.
The warning at the top of the episode made me cry a bit. I appreciate the kindness so much.
i really appreciate how forthright the creators are with their works. And how sencitive they collectively are to the issues surrounding the real world, and what they've made.
It's very well done, and handled, overall, with grace.
Out of the countless reasons to love this series fantastic story deep dive into the world they're building monster God gay boyfriends going through hell to try to save the world potentially maybe all that and a great little Spider-Man reference in it is going to be a 12 out of 10 in my book forever Great job guys
Appreciated the warning on this one. I'm American. Police power and brutality has always been a touchy subject for us. Funny enough, the only part I didn't relate to was the woman being relieved when seeing the uniform. Kinda nice to hear that people get it though and share these fears. That's what storytelling is for after all, to help us connect.
This episode was brilliant so please don't apologize!
Every story you write is an autobiography. As long as you're honest about it, I think that's fine.
Thank you for the warning, I know a few people who are uneasy about these topics, sometimes it can really make me uneasy.
i just- i just think youre amazing jonny. everyone on this team is. you are all so mature and self aware and I jpIOKAREWFPOJIAKERD I just admire you guys sm
i’ve gotten so far into this i actually thought i would get through without being truely affected. i was wrong. everything was laid out it such startling similarity. except they did give me a blanket. this was wrenching and i actually shed a tear.
YES!!! Next episode is AMAZING
Heres a fun drinking game: everytike anyone in this show in all of the seasons says something in absolution and then follows that statement with "not really", take a shot
Very good episode. First time listening to it as I’m finally catching up with the last season. It hits a little harder considering the war in Ukraine, the changes in Afghanistan and the current talk of fascist regimes.
As someone from Ukraine, it does hit even stronger. Reminds us why we've been trying to get away from the fascist neighbour for so long and it's still sinking its claws in. I think all ex-USSR countries, among other nations who had experience with totalitarian states, could relate
I dont necessarily think that such an indepth warning was necessary. Perhaps just a brief trigger warning, as you did with earlier episodes of this season.
That being said, it was extremely well handled and dwelt less on the police themselves but instead used them as a vehicle for that fear we all have of being lost in a huge, uncaring system, be it corporate, legal, health, etc. Well written and beautifully portrayed. Cant wait for the next one.
The trigger warning at the beginning was so grim and foreboding it made me start crying.... And then the episode was really tame 🧍 like that warning upset me more anxiety-wise and made me not want to actually listen to the episode? I listened to it anyways but I was so scared about what would be contained that it was like some stupid meta-terror mind game because the actual episode did not warrant that warning AT ALL
@@amefuraggamuffin I think it was mainly an apology for breaking his own rule about using his own trauma in his work. This episode was also postponed when it was first released, due to the murder of someone through police brutality, I think, so it probably would’ve seemed quite offensive at the time to not include it
@@DeadBore yeah. it's not so much about the content of the episode, but the context of the circumstances surrounding it and the time of its release, both because of jonny feeling he broke his own rule, and the fact that at the time the episode was originally supposed to be released, someone had been murdered through police brutality, and rq decided to postpone the episode out of respect. the warning was added because it was a difficult topic at the time.
You're pretty friggin stupid
I didnt relate to this until I got arrested last year lol! I only sat in a holding cell for 4 hours but man that whole experience sucked
This hell is hell and it's a real one a horrifyingly large amount of people experience every day. I understand, and I'm glad you decided to publish it anyway.
Jon "I'm a big deal" Sims pmsl
..Honestly we get worse in the news. It was a giggle that this woman got an actual window.
I know thats not the point. A fear is real even if its laughable.
..Part of me felt Martin deserved to feel worse, because he brought an abusive cop to deal with his problem in the first place.
Well, it IS illegal to be a human being now. This is a real story for too many people and they deserve better.
For anyone who needs/wants it: Statement ends at 13:00.
Sufficient context to follow the story:
John & Marten are traveling through a prison. At the edge of this domain, the pair are separated while crossing into the next domain. Marten's domain. Episode Ends.
The political is personal and always will be.
Johny, Kafka didn't excuse himself when he wrote The Trial... (but it's good that Johny did of course)
didnt he plan to never publish any of his work
@@ilexdiapason well true...
Some of the parton's names are so funny xD
This whole season has hit different from others. Others were stories, a mystery, a cosmic horror at things unknown and beyond us. This season has been just... human pain... not fear. It is not really the show I fell in love with atm... i hope we can get that back.
Kind of wish there were more direct warnings like this, because in the end domain there was a story about a woman who thought she had cancer due to acid reflux and I didn't hesitate to skip, since that's CURRENTLY the situation I'm in and have been in for months.
In the description of each episode, there are the trigger warnings of the episode, it might helps you (or anyone who reads this)
what fears domain was the prison? identical guards suggest Stranger, but it doesn't seem right. the 547 was also a victim.
I'm a bit late at the party, but this hits home hard given the awful rise of tot*litarian mentality and police br*tality in my country. 2023 was unfortunately no exception. :/
“I guess we should get used to it. Knowing that all these awful things are happening for our benefit.”
“Maybe it’s better if it never gets comfortable”
Jon and Martin are walking through as privileged people in an unjust world. To be privileged is to have others suffer on your behalf, more or less. However, the knowledge of this injustice is its own kind of suffering for the privileged. And so the disprivileged suffer for the sake of the privileged, and the privileged suffer with knowledge of suffering. BUT in an unjust system, there is no middle ground between privilege and disprivilege, and so all are made to endure different kinds of suffering.
The message is clear: in order to minimize suffering in the world, privilege and disprivilege must be destroyed.
‘What would I do if it were me? What would I do?’
My mind kept wondering as the story was told, what ‘could’ I do?
Hellscapes are mindgames. If you figure them out, reality changes. You have to know what they're after to conquer them. Then you have to embrace the death coming for you. Make your mind go away if you are held safely. Dying does nothing to you, so it becomes a weapon. The muscle you're using is mental acceptance, so fear can no longer be harvested.
But as others said, so much of this season isn't fear, its just pain.
Sounds like someone suspended the writ of habaeus corpus
🔥that was the Elias revenge🔥
i dont think jon has a good enough grasp of time and distance anymore in order to say things in time because he's consistently missed the right time to say something important about where they are going and i dont think thats deliberate more like it just all gets lost in his head also this was a very good episode
The warning in the beginning of the episode could have been given for almost any other episode in this season. But this one is tangentially connected to curent politics so we must warn everyone. This episode didn't even go in depth on how a justice system can screw you over. The various legal loopholes the state can use to unjustly prosecute or imprison you.
"Very big arse, more like it" god martin💀
I'm allowed to know what Spiderman is. 😄
On the subject of trauma and fear though. One definitely gives rise to another. Maybe they are different kinds of "darkness" that bleed into each other (not unlike the 14 fears). But as a source of horror it is valid. More than that, it can give a voice to the traumatized. More often than not those who are traumatized don't talk and we don't get their perspective. They shut themselves up, wanting the experience to "go away" while those who inflicted the trauma do all the talking, and more often than not get away with creating more trauma. In fact victimizing "others" becomes viewed as normal. Always has. I mean, how long has owning another human being been "normal" in our world history? It wasn't until the publication of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which gave voice to the perspective of enslaved people, that privileged white folk in the USA really started to have empathy for what black people in the American south went through and formed the abolitionist movement.
Right now the masses are more like the Eye. Enjoying watching other people suffering for entertainment. Empathizing and siding with the abuser who is more often the one that gives their twisted perspective and justifications. We could, however, become a more empathetic Eye. Watching the trauma of others, empathizing with the abused, putting ourselves in their place, and using that perspective to make the world a more just place. What is trauma like for the traumatized? Horror, from the eyes of the horrified rather than the monster, who is in power and not afraid.
We need to hear trauma. Not for our petty and sick enjoyment, but so that we can transform that pain into action. To drive us to right the unrightable wrongs, as it were. The "darkness" as such wants us to wallow in the pain, fear, and misery of an unfixable world with only the illusion of hope and light to create real dispare for us. The "light" would have us reach for the "unreachable star" no matter how hopeless, no matter how far. To fight for what's right without question or pause. We must be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause. Yes, you know what I'm paraphrasing. I'm fighting back tears as I quote that song because despite how lunatic mad it sounds, or is, it is true and stirs some powerful emotion in me.
I never shy away from looking at the darkest darkness the human mind, or society, has to offer. But I don't do it as a sick voyuer that enjoys watching the suffering. I want to know what needs to be fixed.
Great episode. I’m sorry you have had negative experiences with law enforcement in the past. As a trained law enforcement officer myself I can tell you it absolutely enrages those cops that abide by the law when we come across those few that think they are above the law because they enforce it. Again my deepest condolences and thank for your wonderful work.
I take this as fantasy you don't have to apologize for your inspiration of your words. I think Longfellow said it best never explain your friends don't need to hear it and your enemies won't believe you anyway
The intro at the beginning was short and to the point, which I respect.
It's certainly a good thing that not every single police officer on the planet is a terrible being.
If that were true, well... there are worse horrors out there than those that exist in The Magnus Archives.
There is a lot to say about "not every single police officer on the planet is a terrible being".
I'm theoretically willing to accept that, depending on how you rate "being terrible". However, between (when this was originally released) the murder of Walter Wallace Jr and the entire point of having Basira and Daisy as characters, the statement is made in at best bad taste, and at worst with veiled malicious intent.
So, rather than writing an entire novel, I'll just say that there are worse horrors out there than those that exist in The Magnus Archives, Mark, and I am grateful you're allowed to believe otherwise.
@@biancamlf288 Logically speaking though, there _are_ police who are decent human beings. I know, "the system is corrupt and they're willfully part of it" blah blah blah... but if being part of a corrupt system makes you a bad person, then we're all evil in some way or another. I guarantee you some people become police because they want to do good. And some - most - of the criminals they catch _are_ real criminals. It's not like people can just become vigilantes and fight crime without a badge - not only would that get them arrested, but it would lead to a lot of people with twisted ideas of "justice" taking it into their own hands.
Is the police system corrupt? Absolutely. Are all police officers selling a piece of their soul to be part of it? Yes. Does that make all of them onotoligcally evil? No, I don't think so. I think many are aware of the corruption but join because they think they can make a difference. And rarely, they do.
Will I trust the police? No, probably not ever. But I'm a person of logic, and logically I understand that extreme statements like "all of (group) are evil!" are almost never true, and often do more harm than good.
Also, I understand the purpose of slogans and riots and anger, and it is a good thing. Nuance and rationale alone will not solve the problem that is police corruption. We need fighters. But we also cannot fight each other - let people debate calmly and rationally when there is an opportunity for persuasion and compromise... and let rioters and protestors run the streets when there isn't. It's through this balance that we can create change.
Coming from the Guatemala experience, this episode felt light to be honest. I mean, I dont want to be un-emphatic with the England/or personal experiences, but you really should look out for what happened un Guatemala during the civil war (1962-1996). That leaved at least 50000 people kidnapped/dissaapeared/killed by the State (police and military). In some manner was similar to what's represented here, but esa way worse. Check out the book Papeer Cadávers and hoy Will understand what I mean. On the other hand, maybe was difficult this episode on various aspects, but was well performed and written. Respect for that.
If you want a great video on the Death Penalty and Prison Abolition, check out Philosophy Tube
Ahh her work really is great
🍉❣️
Jon JUST did a statement about a person who was unjustly put here and IMMEDIATELY afterwards, Martin decides to let someone STAY? WHAT THE FLYING FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?
You let that person remain tortured???????????????????????????????????????
Also that guy should have started to shriek/cry when they walked away, as he realized the only hope he'd ever have was leaving him to his unearned fate.
It’s the apocalypse dude, they also left a bunch of children being tortured in the last few episodes
Also the guy literally admitted (through evil eye force power) that he’s committed police brutality, they’ve left far more innocent people in worse places
The only thing they could do is trying to destroy Jonah and the Rule of the Eye to stop all of it. Which is why they needed to keep going to the penitentiary without distractions. No to mention, the dude literally accused people wrongly and abused his power. Who knows what he would do, if he got power in that domain
Ugh 🙄🙄🙄 this one wasn't even that bad??? The only one of these that have actually triggered me was the psychward/mental institute one
And yet the one that got you didn't bother me at all, while the one about the apartments burning because of careless landlords chilled me. *_It's almost like horror is subjective or something._*
Someone famous died of police brutality when it was supposed to be released. Also please note that the main reason for the warning isn’t actually because it’s worse then any other episode but because Jonny broke his own rule about not taking direct inspiration from his own real life trauma
I love the magnes archives but the trigger warning at the beginning was completely unnecessary the whole podcast is filled with horiffying things there us no reason why this requires special treatment
Remember that these are uploaded here much later than theybare on the actual podcast feed. They had valid reason for the content warning at the beginning.
because it's a realistic sort of horror, without the detachment of fantasy elements as reassurance, born pretty directly from this dude's own actual trauma. like, he literally said this at the start
@@nemnyoom the psychward episode happened to me, triggered flashbacks, made me cry ect. I mean my doctor didn't let me peel.off his face or anything but the fucking trauma of being involuntarily detained by uncaring and cruel medical personnel happens every day. I didn't get a trigger warning as the auto play went from one episode into another
I too was very disturbed during the psychward one due to personal experiences, and it took me multiple tries to actually be able to sit through it.
And though I have no bad personal experiences with the police, I completely understand the warning at the start of this, and it was useful to have, as it's just some extra listening for those not impacted, and a good safeguard for those that this would be too painful for.
@@amefuraggamuffin then check the descriptions. You want everyone to suffer and be triggered because you did? because that is what it fucking sounds like
Content quality dropped like rock.
i kinda wanna know why you think that! care to explain?
@@cupidcalling5599, it's been awhile, so I am not sure which episode this is. However in general, I really enjoyed the spooky early episodes. Later, they just pulled back the curtain to explain the shadowy ambiguous spooky side, and failed at the world building behind it so it was no longer shadowy or spooky. It devolves into a poorly written mellow drama. Then, there is the long form bad poetry, which takes up large chunks of later episodes. Cringe. Then, there is all the on the nose woke aspects. If you are trying to relay a message through art, ham fisted is usually not way to go. Overall it went from spooky to trash, not even worthy of the title of soap opera.
@@Thomas-wn7cl What "on the nose woke stuff" do you mean...? Like... police brutality being bad? Pretty hard to call that nonsense unless you're willfully ignorant.
@@bugjams It is the tactless overstatement or "on the nose" way they go about it that show the worldly understanding of a overly idealistic child.
