    Yeah, after two doctors of Arkham Asylum, I decided to give video for one of my favourite 3 Batman Rogues - Killer Moth. As he is mostly underdeveloped joke character, I took him back to his Silver Age roots as anti-Batman, and rewrote him basing on this mere idea. Two biggest changes I included is making him arab-american and changing his mental problems from minor to pretty severe. I also focused on the bat and moth dynamic - darkness and light, predator and pray. I see Daeej as accidental victim of Batman's crusade, who strives for equity by all cost.
    ...Gosh, this is the longest video I've done on this channel o_o

    Something appreciate is how Killer Moth, at least before he puts on the costume, even looks a bit like a moth. The ears look like wings, his nose looks like that long needle thing (don’t know what it’s called) and his ever growing hair and beard looks like a moths fluff

    I can see this Killer Moth becoming a rogue by breaking out everyone in Arkham, while trying to hunt down Hugo Strange so he can explain why he's having memories he can't understand. It also gives him a great weakness, forcing the storyteller to be creative in how Killer Moth confronts Batman (Like utilizing flashbangs)

      I can imagine that there's a story from his perspective, where in the end the person he thought was trying to hurt him wasn't actually who he thought it was.
      Maybe it could've been another member of the bat family, trying to stop him from doing something that would hurt himself

    I do feel like Killer Moth needs a bit more of a backstory than 'goon with weird costume and net gun', and like the idea of using the idea of moths being attracted to light being the inspiration for the moth costume (when bats eat moths for breakfast)

      Also,it creates a interesting dynamic between him and batman,because he uses light,which is generally associated with good,and bats uses darkness (mostly associated with evil),but in this,the roles would be reversed,with light being bad and dark good

    I can barely understand the rampant yelling but, honestly that doesn't make it worse, it makes it better for me, it really adds to that frantic atmosphere where he is breaking down just trying to stay away from the dark, and in those final shots, it starts to slow down, as he finally snapped, no more clouded thoughts, just finally snapped

    I didn’t get at first who this was about, then the name “Drury Walker” appeared, and it instantly clicked.
    Honestly, I like Killer Moth as a Batman Villain, I get he’s mainly a joke villain but I feel if DC tried, they could very well give him a very sympathetic backstory to make him more than just a joke.
    I especially love the connection with Moths, like them, he sticks with light because he’s afraid of what lurks in the Dark, in his eyes, he’s the prey, and Batman is the Predator, and I love that. I also love the little bits he gathers in his mind, pretty much him trying to regain the memories he once lost, the family he once had, the life he once lived.
    You did such a great job here, and I honestly want to see stuff like this for more Batman Villains.

Imagine trying to sneak up on a shotgun wielding insane person in a large room when there’s not a shadow in sight…

    I know i've already commented but I just wanted to say that the plot hole of "how he pay his light bill" could be easily solved by just assuming Bruce Wayne is paying for it. He would obviously feel bad about what Dury is going through, probably relating to his tragic past, and the fact that he sent him into arkham where Hugo jabbed around in his brain, and would just pay his expenses. As for how he didn't notice the ocean of moths amassing on a extremely well-lit building? I mean he's a busy guy maybe he was out with dinner or something man idk

    • @timothycarney9652
      @timothycarney9652 Год назад +18

      Well there is also the questions of, What is Dury doing when not in his apartment? Does he have a Job? ect, and what exactly is the timeframe for this breakdown, if the lighting up of his apartment and his making of the costume happen close enough together then, the question is moot because he goes off to be Killer moth before his electric bill becomes an issue. I could buy the final breakdown of, buying lights-horrible dreams-make a costume happening in less than 24 hours, or even just a few hours, as a culmination of weeks to months of trying to manage with his horrible yet faceless fear.

    Are my eyeballs just yet to adjust to seeing the light?
    The room I'm in is still the same, the shadows have not rearranged it
    No, the only thing that's changed is how I see at night
    I fumble for the switch and strap on infrareds
    And wish for sunshine when the morning's somewhere else
    But I can't change what time it is or dilate my irises
    Only what I look at, and I'm looking at myself

    I'm not a flower, not a solar-powered calculator
    Damn my eyes for seeing what's not there
    I'll trade in vision for a practiced intuition
    Till my fears come to fruition I'm not scared
    I am not the sunshine, I am not the moon at night

    The past predicts the state you're in
    The present did and will not last
    Is, isn't, was, have, hasn't, has
    All that I ask is keep those empty frames
    If nobody's in them, then no one is to blame
    For your self-portraits, sign another name
    Well, who should I be then, if I'll never be the same?
    I will be my sunshine, I will be my moon at night
    Who else could I be when I can't fucking see?
    I will be my sunshine, I will be my moon at night

Seeing this design and story for him really blew my hopes for the character through the roof. I want Killer Moth to be in a movie as something more than a side character, he could be a really good antagonist and this shows it. He contrasts Batman so well especially with the Light vs Dark, Moth vs Bat parallel. Also the reference to The Calculator was very nice. The spiral into mad(bat)ness was super cool as I could see it happening with a character like this.

    I would bet my lungs that the reason the dude's lights are faulty is entirely by the machinations of Strange. I guarantee there is a camera in every room and a switch on his desk that controls the breaker.

    This is honestly amazing. I thought your other videos were well made, but this one takes it to a whole nother level. The lighting, the linework, the character desings, the expressions! All of its a delight to watch.
    I think the best part of the video though is your interpretation of this character. I'll be honest, I never really saw much potential in Killer Moth, but you've really changed my mind. The light dark and predator prey symbolism has so much potential, and you explored that really well here. Seriously dude, if you ever made a comic or something I could see it being something really special. These videos already are some of the best Batman fancontent I've seen. Really, whatever you do, I'm here for it. Keep it up dude :)

    As a person who personally loves Killer Moth and the concept of him being a alternative version of Batman.
    I love how you give him a tragic life and reason for why he’s become a villain. Instead of just being it to make money or whatever. He’s a man broken by his past like Batman. But his mental issues have become so severe that now the idea of the Batman have become infused with his fears of the awful thing that can hide in the dark.
    But he’s not a complete sob story we still get to see that fun side that many love the character for. He can still be funny but the extra layer of misery makes him three dimensional.

    Don't know if it was intended, since the most obvious parallels to the song are his fear of the dark, and tendency to stay in the light, but the song has themes of questioning one's identity, and Drury fighting between his past trauma and his supposed new life as Mr. Walker is really good. While rewatching, I picked up on how his vision of batman in the mirror is actually himself in the costume, which I just thought was an amazing little touch.

  • @SkyEcho751
    @SkyEcho751 Год назад +5

    I see this as a good take on a villain, but also a bad take on a villain. It's good because it doesn't show them as just simply someone who was wronged a whole bunch and is just a pure tragedy, he did do something genuinely wrong, and he is genuinely facing trauma that is making it impossible to function normally.
    However this is also a bad take as you could also argue being evil is just his nature because he committed a bunch of crimes, got literally lobotomized, and is relapsing without relying heavily on medication. Though the Lobotomy is probably half the problem, they rarely work, and usually just cause more damage then they fix.
    I definitely feel like him being a guy who is so traumatized of the dark he can't sleep properly, causing his mind to break down, is a better take then him just being a joke villain. Definitely fits better then trying to argue that the Joker should be sympathized with.

    i also similarly appreciate how the lightbulb he's swinging on in the dream sequence (which. fuckin, _ow)_ doesnt hurt enough to let go. like, it still looks _hella_ painful (obvs) but the only reason he falls is bc it fucking _evaporates_ in front of him. like a candle thats burnt itself out. delightfully apropos, given that much like a candle, the last, fleeting remnants of his sanity are ultimately snuffed out before him
    also complete tonal shift but the way his nose just _unfolds_ when he takes off his mask, like a butterfly unfurling its proboscis is really really cute omg
