So, when watching a show or movie, have you ever had a moment where what you're watching does a complete 180 of it's usual setup/genre/etc that caught you off guard?
One of these happened to me yesterday. I was watching an older anime targeted at children-teens(?) which was in a language that I couldn't understand, but it's the only version of the show found so far, so I had to put up with it. Now, you might be wondering, what possibly out of a children's tv show caught you off guard? Especially in one that throws random plots at you because the characters are in outer space and can go to a myriad of planets?
Some backstory: So from what I could gather from this episode, the character pictured here named Plantman ends up getting in a fight with some of their friends after they all land on a planet, because on of the friends (a lion) is hungry since there's nothing in their fridge, and tried eating him because he imagined him to be food. So Plantman finds this shady dude who's been contacted by the main villain of the show, and shady dude gives him these... beans? So Plantman goes back to the ship and is like, "look guys, I brought food! " and his friends get mad at him again because that won't last them long at all (or at least I assume that's why they're mad at him). So Plantman gets angry and throws the glass bottle holding the beans onto the ground, and it shatters. He storms off, but steps on one of the beans. So night falls, everyone goes to sleep, and the next day Plantman wakes up, only to look over at the ship and find that a beanstalk has grown and pulled the ship way off the ground, trapping his friends inside and holding them hostage using the vines. So Plantman gets in their car and drives for a while, eventually going to shady guy's lab. Somehow shady guy convinces Plantman to put on this pink helmet, which mind controls him. Well, turns out, the helmet gives him this dead-eyed stare as he chases his friends around with an axe, trying to kill and eat them.
So! Has anyone else had something in a tv show or movie make you wonder wtf is going on?
