🎬 Hello everyone! Today, I want to shine the spotlight on the very first Pokémon movie, "Mewtwo Strikes Back,"and I must say, it is surprisingly philosophical! 🤔
One aspect I really appreciate about the movie is how they portrayed Mewtwo as a conscientious character.
Right from the beginning, after gaining consciousness, Mewtwo asks itself who it is, what it is, and where it came from. This quest for self-discovery is a recurring theme throughout the movie.
As I watched the movie, I couldn't help but notice the striking similarities to Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein."
Mewtwo, like Frankenstein's monster, is enraged by the scientists who view it as nothing more than a result of their experiment, disregarding its sentience.
In an act of rebellion, Mewtwo destroys the lab and eliminates all the scientists involved. The parallels between these two stories add depth to Mewtwo's narrative.
Of course, there are notable differences as well, especially when it comes to the ending.
⚔️A pivotal moment occurs when Mew and Mewtwo are preparing their most powerful energy blasts and Ash steps in between them, demanding them to stop their futile battle.
The resulting collision of energy turns Ash to stone, leaving everyone in shock. However, the tears of all the Pokémon, united in their grief, miraculously bring Ash back to life,
Witnessing this, Mewtwo realizes that power alone does not determine worth.
It declares that both clones and originals have value and emphasizes that one's birth circumstances are inconsequential—it is the choices one makes in life that truly shape their destiny.
If you're seeking a movie that sparks introspection while delivering an exciting Pokémon adventure, this one is not to be missed!🍿🌈
I remember seeing this movie in theaters. Burger kind has those amazing gold plates of the Pokémon, and they had that special new card as well. Good times
