Humans can easily complete complex transformations in movies, but in reality, people cannot be unified with just one concept.
[Ninja Batman] still fits together after all .
This animation, which is a metaphor for integration from the name, finally reached its climax after 65 minutes.
Not that the fit is bad.
The quickest way to please the two ends under capital cooperation (co-produced by Japanese Kamikaze Animation and Warner America) is to catch a ride on the traditional Japanese-manga integration.
In a big way, it can be regarded as the dissolution of American-style individual heroism, and the setting of making one's own efforts as a partner collaboration is just right for the taste of the Japanese market.
However, I also admire the Japanese, who can not only incorporate local elements into American comics, but also write the bad fit stalks used in Japanese comics into the popular symbols of the movie.
So, why is there fusion in the movie?
Since 1974 , a Japanese named Hao Nagai pioneered the concept of a combined mecha in his comic "Three-One Almighty Man" , and this demonic fire has burned almost all the mecha series comics in Japan.
The most famous of them is "Mobile Suit Gundam" .
Later, cartoonists jumped out of the limitation of mecha, and everything can be combined , even Ultraman .
And the Saiyans .
The happiest among them is the Japanese toy manufacturer. The toys that were originally sold individually have become sold by sets because of the emergence of integrated toys.
Americans looked jealous, so Marvel had "Transformers" .
And in Michael Bay 's [Transformers 2] in 2009, the combination of Optimus Prime and Skyfire combined with 3D eating made people burp.
The demon fire came to China, and a "Gourd Little King Kong" was burned out .
Although East Asia and South Asia are not much different geographically, India's [Bollywood Robot Love] will make a new and different feeling.
The representative of the new era mecha movie [Pacific Rim] , it is natural to pay tribute to the classic fit terrier.
And the combination of the three-headed monsters is even more attractive than the mecha.

And the combination of the three-headed monsters is even more attractive than the mecha.
Before they merged, the six Taro brothers couldn't beat King Grant, and Goten and Trunks were no match for Majin Buu. Solve the problem, not to mention the gourd babies sent one by one.
Unity changes fate, and unity is strength. Let the enemy understand what a socialist iron fist is.
And Aristotle once said that "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts ", and the abstract philosophical concept is refined into a formula called " 1+1﹥2 ".
Although its meaning is often misinterpreted by domestic MLM organizations, it has become a tool for brainwashing members to develop offline.
But this does not prevent it from becoming the theoretical basis for combined fights.
There is another kind of spectacle in the movie.
In Greek mythology, there is a monster called Chimera . It is a combination of a lion, a goat and a snake. It breathes fire and is a sign of disaster.
The name of this monster has now become the English word for chimera in genetic biology— a single organism composed of cells with different genotypes.
It is a combination of real existence in biology, apart from artistic creation.
In 2017, an international scientific research team injected human stem cells into pig embryos and successfully created human-pig chimera embryos for the first time.
It sounds like Marshal Tianpeng descended to earth in the laboratory.
However, due to reproductive isolation , it can only provide stem cells to produce organs, and the so-called "Pig Bajie" does not appear in reality.
The mythical Chimera predicts disaster, and the movie is full of infinite possibilities.
In 1986 David Cronenberg 's "Fly Man" , because a fly flew in the telex, the male protagonist and the fly's genes merged. The tragedy is that the process cannot be reversed, and you can only let yourself become a fly. , and was finally shot in the head by the heroine.
The young couple in [Human-Beast Hybrid] also suffered from this loss. Neither public opinion nor funds could stop their stupidity. The wife's genes were mixed with animal DNA to create a hybrid creature whose gender was unclear. people die.
There is no shortage of talents in the field of science, and there is no shortage of masters in metaphysics.
The corpses of the male and female robbers in [Monster City] were transformed into yin and yang zombies by their masters, but fortunately there was Lin Zhengying , and this integrated monster only jumped twice.
However, the protagonists in [Sadako vs. Gaya] were not so lucky.
As the two classic female ghost IPs in Japanese horror films, the male protagonist also fantasizes about using violence to control violence, using their grievances to kill each other. As a result, the two female ghosts merged at the bottom of the well and became an indescribable mass to kill everyone. people.
And the cult [human centipede] , which jumped out of science and metaphysics, raised the fit terrier to the realm of anti-humanity.
The horizontal is afraid of being stupefied, the stunned is afraid of dying, and the desperate is afraid of committing suicide.
If the protagonist in the movie could be less curious, there might not be so many monsters.
Hope to know.
Before the modern interpretation of fit, it generally referred to men and women.
The Song Dynasty painter Zhao Mengfu once wanted to take a concubine, and his wife tube style wrote a poem "My Nong Ci" for her :
You are like me, and there are so many emotions, so many emotions, and hot as fire. Take a piece of mud, pinch a you, mold a me, break the two of us together, mix with water, pinch another you, mold a me, I have you in the mud, and you have me in the mud. I was born with the same quilt and died with the same coffin.
Although it seems straightforward, there is the sweetness of love in the words, and the fit described by "I have you in the mud, and you have me in the mud" contains a sexual metaphor.
The point is that Zhao Mengfu gave up the idea of taking a concubine because of this.
In Greek mythology, the narcissus Salmacis in the lake moved the gods with his love for Hermaphrodites and united them to become the god of Yin and Yang in mythology.
It may be a bit ambiguous to say this, but love is always an important motif of fit.
The same is true in movies.
Just like in [Blade Runner 2049] , the virtual housekeeper Joey and the replicant Mariette combined, so that this one-night stand full of technology was mixed with love.
[Avatar] Jack Sally gave up his body and stayed on Pandora to merge with the Na'vi, not only because of his physical disability, but also because of his love for the princess.
If it is said that love is the most insane and the most enthusiastic, it can only be Sophie and Julian in [Two Little No Guess].
Because love fits together, and "fits" for love, there may be no ambiguity, and fit and love have always coexisted.
Humans can easily complete complex transformations in movies, but in reality, people cannot be unified with just one concept.
Just like [Ninja Batman], the American and Japanese comics just collided and did not fit together.
It's gorgeous yet mediocre, serious yet hilarious.
Every point that Junpei Mizusaki tries to capture seems to be running in the opposite direction.
But the good news is that at least he caught the fit.
