This Is An Important Snowpiercer PSA

Okay, so let me settle this once and for all because it ticks me off so much when I go to the "Snowpiercer" tag on Tumblr and I read comments like THESE: "Oh, Snowpiercer is amazing but it was just basically The Hunger Games on a train..." OKAY CUNT, YOU WEREN'T PAYING FUCKING ATTENTION. For the record, the film is based on a series of FRENCH GRAPHIC NOVELS called "Le Transperceneige" conceived way back in 1982 and obviously PREDATING "The Hunger Games" which debuted in 2008, and even the acclaimed Japanese novel, "Battle Royale" in 1999, from which THG is often compared to and accused of being a total rip-off. So you ignorant fuckers better not make that damn comparison because basically "Snowpiercer" is the film that the "The Hunger Games" franchise WISHES it was, and it's all in just ONE SINGLE MOVIE. Now, I love the THG universe as much as the next Tribute, but let's not go as far to compare the world of Katniss Everdeen with the world of Curtis Everett, okay? They may be two reluctant protagonists fighting an oppressive regime of the privileged powers that be, but that is basically where their similarities end because they both have different character arcs that are unique to their respective worlds. Also, the Korean director who helmed "Snowpiercer" took the ENTIRE source material comprising THREE SEPARATE BOOKS and brilliantly compressed and distilled the themes and references of "Le Transperceneige" into just ONE FILM ADAPTATION that was carefully constructed with care and extreme attention to detail as opposed to hashing out several individual movies clearly generated simply for profit at the expense of thirsty niche audiences obsessed with a specific fictional universe (I'm side-eyeing you so hard, Twatlight). Furthermore, "Snowpiercer" features brilliant POC actors (Koreans Song Kang-Ho and Ko Ah-Sung and Academy-Award winner, Octavia Spencer) in major roles alongside their Caucasian counterparts, which (let's be fucking honest here) is a goddamn rarity in any given Hollywood blockbuster standalone film or ongoing franchise. So to recap: "Snowpiercer" is NOT "the Hunger Games on a train", okay?! It is an emotionally compromising masterpiece of a film based on a FRENCH graphic novel series directed by a KOREAN director and features a RACIALLY DIVERSE ensemble cast of actors and showcasing POST-APOCALYPTIC THEMES with a refreshing twist while providing biting social commentary at the same time. Haters gonna hate, but oh gee, look at all the fucks I give to your counterpoints. In the famous words of the deliciously despotic Minister Mason... This has been your friendly neighborhood Tumblr PSA regarding "Snowpiercer". Thank you for your time.

004 Snowpiercer Character Headcanon Biography : The Franco Brothers +++ Before they served as the loyal and unquestioning minions of Minister Mason and acting as her muscle aboard the Snowpiercer, the Franco Brothers once served a lengthy tenure within the Russian Armed Forces before having themselves honorably discharged and subsequently working as private mercenaries for hire for a secret private military company based in Berlin. With their origins in a village near the Ural Mountains of Siberia, the brothers grew up having a natural tolerance for sub-zero temperatures and trained themselves by doing outdoor chores during the winter wearing only minimal layers of fur. Despite the ten-year age gap between the elder and the younger Franco, the two brothers are extremely close and are never seen apart from each other. Rumours swirled around the settlers of their hometown that their relationship was beyond fraternal, but they could not speak it out loud because not only were the two brothers physically intimidating, their father was a former high-ranking officer of the Gulag and thus, the villagers dared not risk speaking such blasphemies lest they valued their lives. When the Francos were old enough to move out of their hometown, they did not hesitate in enlisting to the Russian Armed Forces. Passing the physical and mental requirements with ease, the two siblings trained hard and served Mother Russia well for many years. Between them, the brothers have racked up an impressive amount of enemy kills that earned huge respect from their testosterone-fueled peers. But even after years of active combat duty and incapcitating hundreds of men without remorse, the Franco Brothers craved a new challenge and thus requested to their commanding officers that they be honorably discharged from service. Upon their departure from the army, they immediately heard word from their underground connnections in the Russian mafia that there was a private military company with their headquarters in Berlin looking to hire mercenaries. Grabbing this opportunity, the brothers flew to Germany and jointly applied for the position and were immediately hired on the spot based on their impressive military background and amiable ties to key organized crime members in Russia. But just three months in to their newfound career path, they were soon called for a priority job by a VIP client. It was at this period that the Franco Brothers were hired as the official bodyguards to Ms. Mason of Wilford Industries. The brothers were very familiar with the company given that the transportation empire was responsible for significantly improving the Trans-Siberian Railway. Keen to serve their rather imperious mistress under the lure of a very high salary and other great opportunities, the brothers adjusted to their new job quickly and in turn, received preferential treatment from Mason as evidenced by her insistence that the two must always be impeccably dressed in bespoke suits and their rather rugged countenances expertly groomed to perfection. And when the catastrophe that was CW-7 began to destroy the planet, the brothers were granted a place with their power-hungry mistress in the Front Section of the Snowpiercer. Despite the end of the world, the brothers did not lose their jaded personalities and did not see their life on board the train as any different as their previous life on Earth. Ruthless and diabolical, they effortlessly exacted the cruel punishments towards the train's transgressors under the orders of Minister Mason. In their spare time, the elder and the younger Franco prefer to lounge in the Swimming Pool and Sauna Sections, make regular visits to the Custom Clothing Section to have the tailor outfit them with new sets of suits and accessories, or grace their presence in the Nightclub Section where they would have their pick of the nubile young women (and sometimes men) willing to give them pleasure in the privacy of their Executive Class guestroom. +++ Many thanks to the guys over at twogoodarms, and also to fyeahsnowpiercer for regularly liking and reblogging my Snowpiercer posts.
