I just wanna remind everyone that we know Nigel Dickerson is selling bonzo merch. If that's how bonzo attacks start then we have a true villain
Mr. Bonzo is the perfect lovechild of Stranger and Slaughter.
Something I'm finding fascinating this season is how many of the victims are having somewhat euphoric experiences, which I think is new to Magnus outside of the experience of avatars/cultists.
The victims in Episode 2, 3 & 11 all had this, and now we see the same initially with Mr Bonzo's victims.
No theories about this ep because I had the fortune of listening to this while getting ready to go out to a club. Every now and again "he wants to stay he wants to play" would pop into my head while dancing and I'd start wondering just how long it would take for me to notice MR BLOBBY ahould he suddenly appear. (I'd say long enough to let him get a few hands)
Oh, that's interesting! I'd been assuming that since they happened on the same day, Gwen delivered the envelope and THEN the Bonzo attack happened, but you're right that Lena could have been alerted to the fact that Jordan survived before the night was over and immediately sent Gwen to Bonzo with a follow-up job.
I also like your theory that she broke the hold Bonzo had on the guys who had watched and loved him in their childhoods by virtue of never having been a fan. I'm not sure why her scream of horror got through when they didn't register it at all when she yelled at them to stop before she called the police, but maybe the different motivation changed things.
My current unexamined and unlikely theory is that the incident at the strip club wasn't a job or a hit; it was payment. The OIAR found him a tasty victim who still loved his childhood idol Bonzo with unexpected fervor and thus made for easy pickings.
In the Stripped Club. Straight up "jorkin it". And by "it", hehe, well, let's justr say. My Banzo
This is the second time in 12 episodes where I feel like in Protocol they have described violence and viscera in more disturbing detail than anything I remember in Archives. And that is something that particularly gets to me so I'll probably be thinking about this one for a while haha
Oskar Jarrett could be an earlier facade for Ink5oul?
Dickerson sells merchandise online. Perhaps he finds out the name beforehand?
Bonzo does not fit neatly into one category, in my mind. I think of him as mainly Slaughter/Flesh, with a strong dose of Stranger, for the mascot aesthetic. (Could also fit with Hunt, since he’s sent out as a hitman, but he doesn’t seem to be much into the chase.)
Mascot - Stranger
Eating his victims - Flesh
The sheer brutality of the violence inflicted, and the fact that he’s essentially summoned via music - Slaughter
Pustules on his skin that ooze a foul smelling substance when hit - Corruption
(Although this one is more secondary, and I don’t think he’s particularly aligned with the Corruption)
Maybe bonzo gets weaker when hes distracted. So when he heard her scream he fed instinctively and got distracted from his primary target so they broke from his "charm" effect
Bro vor me those came outer like in the middle of the night.
So I'm pretty sure Alice knows more then she should. First I thought : there wasn't the sound , but that's exactly why I think she knows more. She said "she knew about everything" no lining sound.
Do you get my Point.
Might be entirely wrong dough.
The vibe I get atm is that it’s a bit of a red herring that Alice frames it as a joke. IMO, that fact that this is an extension of government has Implications(tm)
and I think Alice has a perspective on that which explains why she won’t rock the boat and also doesn’t quit.
We’d need a reveal or more world building to know if I’m even close to correct tho XD
I think the writers where banking on the fact fans would have started to notice the "lie detecter" and where doing a sneaky acknowledgment of it by having Alice demonstrate why exact phrasing or even just what a character believes could easily obscufate information from the audience. Bc what she said could either be a collection of literal truths (they do work for horror. They also work for the UK government. Both technically factual statements, but saying it sarcastically could make it seem she DOESN'T know) Or just alice saying what she honestly believes (it's just a crap job and she thinks the government suck). Either makes sense and is equally possible. If the lie detector is very literal, it means we STILL have to interrogate the subtext and implications of statements that don't get pinged- we cant get sloppy and let freddy do all the work. Kinda reminds me of how in tma there was a lot of wiggle room for characters to mislead Jon even if they technically couldn't lie to a direct question or resist telling him things (except possibly Elias who more steered jon away from certain ideas once his powers kicked in then outright lied- and seemed to be able to say hypotheticals as truths)
Am I the only one who was a 12 year old about the title?
I don't like when you keep me waiting 😢
