NO YOU'RE RIGHT re: the pronouns thing, I'm just kinda chalking it up to the author being Like That, I've read another of his books and it's similarly weird. You're also right about Brittle and Mercer, especially as the way Brittle sets it up in the narration painting Mercer as a villain then has it slowly revealed that she's just as bad if not worse... if you can really judge either of them for what they have to do in the Robot Wasteland. Also pls never apologize for rambling, rambling is good!
re: brittle and mercer yesss i loved how at first the beginning sets it up as if she's in the wasteland to help the mad robots only for her to strip them for parts… loved the way she vilified mercer despite knowing she'd do the Exact Same thing in his place.
and YES OMG agreed the 'consciousness = the ability to disobey your programming" thing and that it takes time to develop is SO fascinating. i liked that it touched on just how Weird it must be for newly built robots to come out of the box as theoretically fully capable and developed beings - like. imagine you were Literally born yesterday but you have the full skillset, mobility, speech capabilities etc of an adult, just with none of the life experience that comes with it. it's SUCH a bizarre state, the idea that they're just on autopilot for a while before the consciousness lightbulb flickers on is def a v interesting one!
#not sure what u mean abt mainframes having RKSs tho - i listened to the audiobook+have a Very bad memory#so i dont rmbr the Context for either of those words sorry dkjfgk

Wolfcop vs. Bagman. Inked sketch. 2014.
I always had a fondness for horror comedies. Having discovered 'Army Of Darkness' and its predecessors as a teenager probably helped shape my taste for a perticular brand of scary movies with strong comedic elements.
Sometime in the mid augths I came across a dvd compilation of horror short films produced by the Spasm horror film festival. This is where I first discovered the filmmaking trio RKSS, Roadkill Superstar from Montreal: François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell; Their short film 'Bagman' is a wonderful gory, slapsticky cocktail of Three Stooges antics with Jason Voorhees violence.
Later, in 2014, at Montreal Fantasia film festival, I came across another film with a similar sense of humor. Another Canadian production; 'Wolfcop'. This hit my sweet spot. At the time, I was also co-hosting a geek podcast and had the opportunity to interview the film's director Lowell Dean.
Now, what inspired me in 2015 to draw that image of Wolfcop and Bagman battling it out is simple. That same year, RKSS and Lowell Dean both attended the Montreal Comic con.
While a 'Bagman' feature film has yet to materialize. The filmmaking trio has been busy with 'Turbo Kid' and 'The Summer Of 84'. Dean directed a sequel to 'Wolfcop', the appropriately named 'Aother Wolfcop'.
If you love the Evil Dead films, 80's slashers and slapstick comedies and haven't seen any of these films. I highly recommended that you take the time to track them down and watch them with friends with similar taste.
Take care.
Matt

https://youtu.be/CQ9jXVqidcsOur finished cosplay inspired by Turbo Kid (2015) by RKSS films - Anouk Whissell, François Simard and Yoann-Karl Whissell. We love this movie so much and making these costumes was SO much fun! I especially love my Gnome Stick and our helmets! We made Brian’s Turbo Kid Armor, Power Glove and props from #EVAfoam, red stretch vinyl and lots of hot glue and spray paint! My jumpsuit was custom dyed and detailed by me, and the helmet was completely custom painted. My gnome stick was made from a plastic costume bat and plastic gnome watering can that I custom painted and attached. Apple's replica harness was gorgeously recreated to perfection by @knut_i_pryanik_ We’re so proud of how our costumes and photos turned out! If you haven’t seen this fun, retro, hilariously gory and heartfelt film check it out now on Amazon Prime! And fingers crossed for #TurboKid2 someday! #TurboKid #TurboKidCosplay #TurboKidApple #TurboKidMovie. Video at: https://youtu.be/CQ9jXVqidcs

In the Summer of 84 (2018), four boys spy on the police officer across the street whom they suspect of being a serial killer.
As you might have guessed from the title, this film falls heavily into the 80s nostalgia aesthetic. It actually does a great job of mimicking that kind of plot structure, in addition to the synth score, clothes, and pop culture references. I don’t want to say anything that might spoil the mystery, which is definitely the main pull, but I think it’s fair to say that for most of this film, nothing unexpected happens. Every scene plays out the way you expect it to, the way it might in a familiar kidventure film.
What I like most about this film is that it takes seriously the fears of children. Whether or not there’s actually a monster, the fear is real, and that doesn’t go away when you grow up.
Let’s talk about representation. This film has one person of color in one scene. There are three female characters, two moms and a love interest. None of them talk to each other.
