I had similar thoughts when I saw that people here are trying to guess the relatives of characters based on the color of their eyes. It's by far the stupidest best thing that has come up in this thread. We maybe have 50 important characters in both SG and WiAB and only 6-7 possible eye colors. Not to mention that different eye color combinations of the parents can lead to a completely opposite eye color of the child. How can you seriously expect it to help? It's ridiculous. I'm in.The thing I've come to realise from developing theories of who the unknown parents is that Ocean hasn't given us anything to work with other than model resemblance (which means nothing to maybe everything).
If you wrote this as a response to thatRegards complex paths: I think that once each character's trauma is explored, there will be a lot of complexity. Vic's will be emotionally challenging because there's nothing Nika can do to help her walk again, and there's Melanie in the background. Mila's issues with Mario and her parent haven't gone away (she's still the suspect seeing we haven't heard otherwise). Marla will need to have one heck of a compelling story to be a plausible LI. Sasha will be complex because of the rigidity of her social standing/upbringing. Sonya will be challenging because her parents will likely want to beat Nika into a smear. Ocean will raise the value of each story line, and people will go with what resonates with them. I don't think there will be any 'simple' relationship arc. Vanessa's will be the one where Nika feels the least in control though.
then I assure you I did not mean that other paths would be more simple or less challenging.I really hope for the possibility of starting her path in the future even if she left a bad impression on Nika after chapter 4 and from chapter 5 he starts openly confront her. Because then it's definitely will be the most intense path in my opinion.
Vanessa is unique case in the sense that she is the only LI to whom Nika can be hostile and he openly shows it. Everyone else he treats well, and so romantic relations develops in a more classical way. If Nika's dislike towards Vanessa does not close her path, it possibly will lead to more aggressive approach.
Now, how complex this approach can be depends only on Ocean's efforts. We have a perfect example when he gives his best and I'm actually surprised that I never mentioned it. I'm talking about Nami. Based on what she and Nika have to go through just to kiss at the end of ch.5, damn... There are so many layers and obstacles in terms of complexity. I'm skeptical that Bella will somehow top this.
I'm very interested in which works Ocean draws visual inspiration from. Pretty sure he likes Refn.And I liked you post mainly because no one really talks about how amazing that last panic attack scene was. It's up there with the single render of Zara in the street basketball game for me - both scenes convey much more than the script does at those points.
