Angel Torres is truly a multifaceted character:

he’s The Guy In The Chair. the expert. the genre-aware character. he figured out The Cloud. but he also gives off major dude bro energy. he’s every customer service worker ever. talks like a depressed teenager who just shotgunned a red bull. overshared about his ex-girlfriend and then inserted himself into a ufo investigation. he watches the history channel after midnight. but he’s also a final girl. as soon as his car turned off he booked it to the house, grabbed a knife and hid under a table. I though my guy was a goner but dude tied himself up with barbed wire and a tarp and survived. I’m obsessed.

In all of the discussion I’ve seen around Nope (2022) I’ve never seen anything around Angel. When talking about the central theme, that animals have a world beyond what us humans see, he should not be forgotten. We see him first helping them with cameras. He’s got a truck. And honestly? Who cares about him. And then, the main two go back to the Not Best Buy and what does he say? How sorry he was for being weird because he was dealing with an ex. He had his own life that they were not interacting with and not aware of. I see the central theme as being that we should respect animals (or at least the unknown) with respect because we don’t know what they are experiencing. In the case of Angel nobody knew, even we the audience, that he was dealing with anything. He was just part of the background ie a service worker. It’s just such a wonderful moment I never see mentioned but of course it has to do with the theme. Dehumanization can be devastating

Omg naming a character Angel....in a movie about the violence of the decision to watch from the sidelines and not act....in which said character decides to watch and THEN HELP....Jordan Peele what's it like being a genius.

what’s a bad miracle?

Nope + seeing/being seen

Horses. I really like that other movie that Hobie's voice actor was in.

IDK why I ended up putting so much effort into the rendering this was just supposed to be a shitpost.

Hobie's pose is heavily referenced from a shot from the movie Nope (2022). The background texture is also from the same frame.

Miguel is cast as the stressed-out, half-Latino, tech guy with an angel name who watches camera feeds all day and bitches about his life to people he just met.

nope textposts because i can't stop thinking about this movie

Everyone this week: *lore, conspiracy theories, long conversations with Cucurucho, multiple attempts to summon the Binary Monster*

Spreen when lore:

NOPE doodles 🛸

what if there was an alien . and it was really scary 

yeah the social commentary and underlying themes were great but what really made me love NOPE was the chaotic lesbian, her quietly hilarious brother, the scrunkly little customer service worker they adopted, and the eldritch horror that followed them home like a stray cat

I have been drawing a normal amount of art for this film yknow

angel torres, king cringefail

OJ treating Angel like a horse.
