  • RUSSIAN WEAPONS FACILITY - 1957 - Super spies, Curt Mega (American Secret Service) and Owen Carvour (MI6) must steal weapons blueprints and escape the enemy compound.
    SPIES ARE FOREVER is a new musical that follows the suave, yet arrogant, Agent Curt Mega after a tragedy forces him to reconsider the unstable world of espionage. But before long, Mega finds himself thrust into the shadows of Cold War politics, entangled with a Russian femme fatale, and uncovering a super villain’s plot to rebuild the Nazi empire. With a license to kill and the voice of an angel, Mega must stay alive, complete the mission, and prove to his enemies that the deadliest weapon of all is a little song and dance.
    Continue to Part 2: • The Return of Agent Me...

    So while Curt was being reckless and not following instructions, setting the timer too short and not telling Owen, and littering... Owen was actually being a good spy and relocking the safety barricades. (Also like I see everyone blame this whole thing on Curt littering but honestly he's just really freaking reckless. It's clear that he's already made a LOT of mistakes due to it.) Objectively, based on what we see in the whole musical, Owen really was the better spy. But... He let the hate get to him and ajshajsjsj.

    • @josh___something
      @josh___something Před 9 měsíci +15

      Let's be honest, other spy movies leads are probably as reckless, or close to as reckless as Mega.
      All the action-packed thrill seeking spy stuff they do wouldn't happen if they were in and out unseen, now would it.
      Owen IS an outstanding spy, but more of an outlier. Hell, bond endangers the lives of multiple love interests all the time.
      (Also, hey... Owen clearly indulged in some of Curt's action movie shenanigans. He pushed the timer to 4 minutes when Mega said 5, he has to take SOME responsibility.)

    SPOILERS AHEAD...
    ...OH MY GOSH there were SO MANY hidden things in this one scene! There relationship: Owen calls him "love", they hold each other at the beginning of the song and it's really tender, the subliminal "personal history does have it's benefits" telling us that he knows that he's ticklish (implying that they spend a lot of time with each other outside of work), and they argue like two people who are in a VERY close relationship, and later when Mega takes Tatiana's arm, he only takes it with one hand, but with Owen he uses both hands. I remember thinking all of these things were odd, but I just assumed it was theatrical!
    Also, I can't believe I didn't notice this (I'm sure there were people that did), but when Tatiana sings about betrayal, they are both holding onto each other and then they turn their faces away and then turn back again. HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THAT?!?!?!?!?!

  • @KTr0ck
    @KTr0ck Před 5 lety +604

    hella spoilers below, ok, for first time viewers, but like
    EVERY time i revisit this, im blown away by the sheer amount of foreshadowing and subversion of expected meaning that they managed to pack into a single song. so i want to go through them all because damn is it supremely good or wHAT
    *time to save the world again:* curt literally botched every mission and was told how futile trying to take down chimera would be
    *time to get the girl again:* as in literally, catch that fuckin girl mega she ran away with the gat dang bomb
    *time to do or die, time to stay alive:* haha guess what owen
    alot of the lyrics in the between here (didnt wanna write them all out) are kind of foreshadowy for what happens immediately after this (the incident which i will call pre- and post- banana), when curt stops being a spy and has to learn how to be a spy... again
    *once a spy, always a spy:* curt and owen in that order post-banana
    *the warmest hello to the coldest goodbye:* there it is, folks. the plot
    *spies never die, spies are forever:* REMEMBER, REMEEEEMBER (there will be a surprise quiz in act 2)
    *time to buckle up, lets go:* this doesnt have anything to do with anything else but do you think mr curt 'drink martinis and drive again' mega has ever worn a seat belt in his entire special agent life
    *theres an evil power to overthrow:* its funny that curt the protagonist is NOT the one to kill von nazi (the red-herring bad guy/evil power) and DOESNT come close to stopping chimera (the evil power represented by the secret true bad guy)
    *time to show them what you got, be the hero, take the shot:* post-banana, curt's got basically no game whatsoever and is in fact constantly being saved by tatiana (after she stops aligning with the antagonists). i mean, he gets a person killed, but the only person he actually shoots throughout the entirety of the musical, excluding pre-banana... is owen. and it is not a very heroic moment. ouch
    *do you wanna live, yes or no:* to curt at the beginning of post-banana events: ARE YOU FUCKING DEPRESSED ENOUGH, MAN? HAUNTED BY YOUR COWARDICE AND FAILURE, IS YOUR STRUGGLE TO FORGIVE YOURSELF WORTH THE HORROR OF STAYING ALIVE? to owen at the end of post-banana events: YOU COULD HAVE DISARMED CURT SO EASILY, WHICH YOU SHOWED US EARLIER AS THE DMA. DID YOU COME SO FAR LIVING ON ANGER ALONE ONLY TO HESITATE AT THE MOMENT OF PAYOFF AND INSTEAD CHOKE ON YOUR OWN GHOST?
    *time to decide who will be saved:* curt is saved from himself, his loneliness. owen is saved from this mortal coil (in continuing with the ghost metaphor). and tatiana is saved from HER loneliness as well, though she also thinks she and her family are safe from the KGB
    *who do you trust, who do you betray:* like, big oof, y'know? just ouch. mega bummer. and the fact that in the choreography, curt and owen go from facing each other to facing away/drifting apart from each other as she sings that? thats very good shit but very painful. curt trusted owen pre-banana only to be betrayed by him in a major way post-banana. and owen FELT betrayed by curt for basically leaving him to die, so he was only repaying the favor, but he was also betrayed by tatiana who in doing so opened the path for curt to slowly end up trusting her
    *will you live to see tomorrow, or die another day:* this is literally owen's fate. he DOES live to see tomorrow, but he also ends up dying on some other day anyway. you could also argue that this is curt emotionally. he is the one who 'survived' technically but the pain of it drives him to drink heavily. and since alcohol is a poison, he's literally poisoning himself, killing himself a little bit every day
    as a note: when i first saw this i totally thought the bad guys who surround curt and owen were singing "spies arent forever" because, like, theyre bad guys. and i cant unhear it even though the lyrics say that im wrong. besides, i think its a neat idea. anyway
    *spies. masters of disguise. gentlemen of lies. dont you know its do or die:* curt NEVER wears a single disguise unless you count that awful beard he grows, so this is more of a description of owen- who was, objectively, the better spy
    *lurking in the shadows, watching your every move. tall dark and dangerous, a man with nothing to lose:* im inclined to believe this is about owen again, especially because we get 2 scenes post-banana where the memory of owen looms over curt like a phantom, and we can assume curt sees him often. not literally but in his mind. beyond that, owen is taller than curt, dark enough and dangerous enough to kill thousands of people. and he has nothing to lose because, really, he already lost everything when he 'died' the first time. plus, he's so confident that he CANT lose even if he dies for real because chimera is still huge and formidable without him
    *women cant resist him, villains cant escape. the sharpest of shooters:* so then this must also be describing owen. theres the joke that the majority of the DMA's victims (the kickstarter backers) were women, so, those women certainly couldnt resist his knife or gun or whatever. and to my recollection, many of the people owen killed within the scope of the musical were part of the bad guys. thats not saying much since it seems like owen considered pretty much everyone to be expendable, but hey, its something
    *your heart he'll break:* and boy, he absolutely does. curt literally tells owen "you know you broke my heart?"
    repeating the whole 'once a spy always a spy' part in the somber reprise (which is ENTIRELY about owen) is honestly the final clue nailed into the coffin of foreshadowing, that owen is super duper coming back as a villain later in the musical
    i'd like you all to know that this took me 3 hours to do. that is all, thank you
