Today we will talk about the American drama "Doom Patrol Season 1".
The title of the film Doom Patrol Season 1 (2019), alias Titan derivative drama.
After DC launched its own streaming media platform, the first to go online was the drama "Titan"
In the 4th episode of "Titan Season 1", an episode was devoted to the introduction of the Doomsday Patrol, with the purpose of paving the way for the spin-off drama "Doomsday Patrol". Seeing that episode 4 performed well, DC booked the first season of "Doomsday Patrol" in one fell swoop.
Compared with the dark and cramped "Titan", the spin-off drama "Doom Patrol" is too much to watch. If you apply Zhihu's questioning method: "What kind of experience is the derivative drama better than the original one?" Then "Doom Patrol" must be qualified to answer it.
There are many anti-hero episodes. In addition to anti-hero routines, "Doom Patrol" is also anti-hero in substantive content. Superheroes in the general sense are the greater their abilities, the greater their responsibilities, while the scumbags of the Doomsday Patrol seem to have very powerful abilities, and they are a waste of time in actual operation.
The doomsday patrol here is led by the chief Dr. Niles Caulder, and consists of four mecha guys, film guys, rubber girls, and crazy Jane.
In the first season of the story, the villain, Nobody, acted as the narrator for the whole process. The Anonymous kidnapped the chief in order to get revenge, and then set up lower barriers. The purpose is to make the chief betray their relatives. The Doomsday Patrol naturally wants to rescue the chief. In the 15th episode of the rescue process, each character has completed his own growth and has a new understanding of life attitude.
Although "Doom Patrol" is regarded as a spin-off of "Titan", after the series is launched, we can still see many inconsistencies between "Doom Patrol" and "Titan".
First of all, the story timelines of "Doom Patrol" and "Titan" are not consistent. The Beast Boy was a long-term member of the Doomsday Patrol in the early days, but was not mentioned in the "Doomsday Patrol" drama.
The official explanation for this is that the story of "Doom Patrol" took place on Earth 21, and the story of "Titan" took place on Earth 9. Therefore, the Doomsday Patrol that appeared in Episode 4 of "Titan Season 1" is a version of Earth 9.
Secondly, the characters in the drama version of "Doom Patrol" consist of lineups from various periods in the comics. Mecha is the only member of the Doomsday Patrol who has participated in all comic avatars. Rubber Girl and Crazy Jane have never appeared in the team at the same time. The Beast Boy has always been an early member. Steel Bone is not connected with the comics team in any way.
The Chief's life, Dr. Niles Caulder, is a technological genius with paralyzed lower limbs. He is proficient in various unconventional treatments and can miraculously save patients.
The chief is physically disabled and Zhijian, with countless inventions and wealth. He has treated many misfortuned, physically and mentally injured, misunderstood and intolerable "weirds" for them, and healed their physical and mental trauma, thus forming the Doom Patrol, the Doom Patrol, And act as their leader.
Robotman, formerly known as Cliff Steele, was originally a successful racer with a chaotic private life. He nearly died in a serious car accident. The chief rescued his brain and transplanted it into a mechanical body.
The manpower of the mecha is extremely large, and the soles of the feet are equipped with electromagnets, which can walk freely on the metal surface. But these qualities have not been shown in the first season.
Mecha guys wear different rock band T-shirts in each adventure, mostly punk bands, such as The Clash, Dead Kennedy's, Black Flag, etc.
In the first episode, the mecha laughed at Larry's mummified appearance. And Brendan Fraser, the actor of Mecha Man, relied on the "Mummy" series to become famous.
Negative Man, formerly known as Larry Trainor, was originally an Air Force test pilot. During a flight test, he encountered mysterious radioactive material, which became radioactive, and the whole person became like a negative of a human skull under X-ray irradiation, hence the name Film Man.
The radioactive material in the human body can go out of the body, fly at high speed, pass through solids, launch attacks, etc., but each time the soul goes out of the body can only last for 60 seconds, and the body is in a state of defenselessness. In the first season, the time to get out of the body has not exceeded 20 seconds, and it is still in the training stage.
The filmmaker played by Matt Bomer, known as "Peacock", is also Matt Bomer's second DC role. In 2004, he played Superman in a canceled movie. He played Superman in the animated films "Superman: Unbound" (2013) and "Justice Society: World War II" (2021). Dubbing.
Let the beautiful peacock be shown as a mummy throughout the whole process, which shows that this drama has its own ideas.
Elasti Girl (Rita Farr), formerly known as Rita Farr, was originally a Hollywood actor. Unfortunately, when filming movies in Africa, she was attracted by mysterious substances and gained the ability to stretch and deform her limbs.
The rubber girl can change from the size of a bacterium to the size of a skyscraper. In the play, she has not yet mastered the ability to change sex, and to a large extent, she is still in the stage of overcoming her inner fear.
The actor April Bowlby (April Bowlby) was originally a simple-minded and pure vase character in "Wrong Body on Beauty". A few years later, the years left visible traces on her body, but she still couldn't hide her. Beautiful.
In this play, she plays an old vase with a subversive appearance, and she still has the charm of milfs.
Crazy Jane (Crazy Jane) was originally named Kay Challis (Kay Challis), the biggest feature is that she has 64 personalities.
Some of the 64 personalities have powerful superpowers, and some are completely useless. The worst thing is that Jane can't control these personalities. Everyone decides for themselves which personality is the master in a democratic way. So regardless of Jane's upper limit of combat effectiveness is extremely high, the lower limit is also extremely low, and uncontrollable.
Crazy Jane's actor, Diane Guerrero, once bluntly expressed her desire to play a superhero, and described her coveted role as "any role involving science fiction or fantasy." Crazy Jane became the first DC character played by Diane Guerrero.
Soon afterwards, she played the Green Lantern/Jessica Cruz in "Justice League vs. The Fatal Five" (Justice League vs. The Fatal Five, 2019).
Cyborg, formerly known as Victor Stone, was originally an American football star player who suffered an explosion and was dying. In order to save his life, his father transformed him into a semi-human, semi-mechanical biochemical. people. After the new 52, Steel Skeleton replaced Martian Hunter as one of the seven founders of the Justice League.
The steel frame in "Doomsday Patrol" retains the unfortunate experience of the explosion, but the follow-up story is completely closer to the doomsday patrol. The steel frame is also more like a minor who has just entered society and wants to leave his father's shelter alone. Explore this world.
"Doom Patrol" tells a cliché story with a bunch of waste wood, that is, growth.
The chief started doing various experiments for his daughter and to prolong his life. This is the biggest secret in his heart and the biggest stain. He knows that his actions are not correct and shameless, but he still has to do it. He can only hope that after confession, he will be forgiven by everyone.
Mechas used to be greedy for pleasure, constantly indulging themselves, neglecting to take care of the family, and only realized that it was irreversible when the accident happened. He hopes to find the lost time and spend more time with his family.
The filmmaker is a deep cabinet pilot who refuses to come out. Faced with his love and family responsibilities, he chose to escape. Between loving himself and loving others, he once chose to love himself without hesitation. He thought it would be useful to escape, but eternal life brought him even greater torture.
The rubber girl is obsessed with Hollywood's spotlight, coveting those fame and fortune. The star's glamorous appearance is a variety of ulterior secrets. The rubber girl needs to find a kind of her own in different lifestyles. The vague recognition or the down-to-earth recognition.
Crazy Jane's childhood ghost father experience has created a huge psychological shadow for her, and she needs to face the nightmare of the year to complete the transformation of her life.
The steel bones have risen and fallen several times, and the former star rugby player has become a severely injured amputee disabled person, and then changed from a famous steel bone to a machine-controlled puppet. The continuous hammering and hammering has made the steel bone more depth.
The derivative drama and the original drama do not happen in the same universe, and the derivative drama is better than the original drama. What kind of wonderful experience is this?
Also about growth, "Doom Patrol" uses a bright and cheerful narrative, which looks much more interesting than "Titan", which is reluctant to turn on the lights. At least when you look, your eyes will not be so affected.
These two dramas are very interesting. They are both group dramas. Each character has his own past and a bunch of messes. Both dramas also spend a lot of time separately introducing the causes and consequences of each character. However, "Titan" looks very loose, while "Doom Patrol" is much more compact.
Even though you don’t look at the personalities of the doomsday patrols, they are more down-to-earth than one, and one is more humane. It is easy for the audience to have empathy.
The narrative method of "Doom Patrol" is very interesting. The stories of the same episode or several episodes all happen at the same time, and then use different perspectives to repeat the content from different angles.
A simple daily story, shot from five or six angles, immediately becomes interesting and rich.
A spin-off drama out of the independent road,
Concerned about the growth of waste wood with smiles and tears.
