Adaptational Villainy | |
Twisted Metal (2023) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Agent Stone was one of the more heroic characters in Twisted Metal: Black. Here, he's the head of a fascist police state. In the games, Shepard is basically the James Bond of the Twisted Metal universe. In the show, he's the sadistic lieutenant of the fascist Agent Stone as well as a pedophile. Carl and Jamie Roberts, the original two drivers of Outlaw, were some of the more sympathetic characters of the games. In the show they are Butt Monkeys and a Bumbling Henchmen Duo working for Stone. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Twisted Metal (2023) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The titles of the episodes are done in the style of vanity license plates, like the vehicles had listed in the manuals for the first two games. It’s hard to see, but one of John Doe’s gloves has a spider design on it that resembles one of his Twisted Metal: Black counterpart’s tattoos. During the mall shootout in the first episode, a case of video games collapses and the case for the original Twisted Metal falls onto John’s windshield. The bar where Raven meets with John is named Kelly’s, a reference to the former’s best friend Kelly in Twisted Metal: Black. Harold the Wacky Lunch Sack returns, also from the original game. During the initial chase to escape Sweet Tooth, John kicks his car into high gear by inputting the "Infinite Health" cheat from Twisted Metal 2 (Though it is missing an input.) Before the apocalypse, Sweet Tooth was an inmate at Blackfield Asylum, just like in the Black continuity. The asylum is also located in Kane, Michigan, a likely reference to Sweet Tooth’s real name (Needles Kane), Which also can be briefly seen in a newspaper clipping. Sweet Tooth says a variant of his phrase “shut up and bleed� (used in Black and the 2012 game) to John. In a flashback, Agent Stone accidentally kills a child in a fit of rage and we are shown a teddy bear splashed with the child’s blood. Twisted Metal: Black’s Agent Stone also had this as part of his backstory, albeit in a slightly different context. Amber, a botanist and pharmacist who poisons enemies with plants, is the show's version of Flower Power. She is the ex-girlfriend of Miranda Watts and a friend of Granny Dread. When John and Quiet reach New Chicago, they ask Calypso for a pizza for the road. In the games, Calypso corrupts Axel's wish to give him a pizza. John and Quiet debate the existence of ghosts and aliens. Both appear as characters in the games. Several milkmen at a bar have nicknames based on game characters including Bloody Mary, Petunia, Pizza Boy, Pit Viper, and Mr. Slam. Bloody Mary says "Til death do they part" about John and Evelyn, a reference to her stolen Blood-Splattered Wedding Dress in Twisted Metal Black. Raven wears a pentagram necklace and sews together voodoo dolls, a reference to her Goth appearance in the games. John says that every car has weapons, armor, speed and handling. These are the stats of drivers in the Twisted Metal games though "weapons" are called "Special". When we see Calypso planning his tournament, with pictures of Mr. Grimm and Axel in the scene. The finale has Sweet Tooth’s left eye get badly damaged, similar to how the 2012 game’s counterpart’s right eye was stabbed. In a flashback, Sweet Tooth's stepfather mentions that Marcus could be sleeping in his father's taxi, referring to Charlie Kane and his taxicab Yellow Jacket. Quiet and Loud's car is the purple hearse Shadow. It's established that a nuclear power plant exploded in a place called "Watkyn's Harbor", leading to deadly electrical storms. "Watkyn's Harbor" was the name of a level in Twisted Metal (2012). | |

Adapted Out: Marcus Kane, as a separate individual. His name is given to Sweet Tooth who was originally Needles Kane. Sweet Tooth gained Needles as a nickname from the media after killing Buddy with a knitting needle, making Sweet Tooth's name Marcus "Needles" Kane. Meanwhile Marcus' car Roadkill is given to John Doe/Quiet. | |

Butt-Monkey: Stu. He gets captured by cannibals, pushed to the side while Mike climbs the ranks in Stone's police force, gets disrespected and abandoned by John, and gets pressured into being Sweet Tooth's right-hand-man. Carl and Jamie Roberts. They're basically a Bumbling Henchmen Duo and the idiots surrounding Stone. They spent their last scene in season 1 in neck braces and eventually get killed. Agent Stone in flashbacks. He's a low-ranking beat cop who's often mistaken for a mall cop. He tries to help friends during the apocalypse, gets robbed by them, and they reveal they never even liked him. He's so enraged when looters disrespect them that he kills them along with some civilians. | |

That gets John to agree to do this run for her with Raven and her family bidding him farewell. As soon as John is out of sight, Raven's smile vanishes and she holds out her baby like it's a diseased animal. Sweet Tooth has John and Quiet watch his one-man show with John trying to talk of how good it was. | |

Affably Evil: Surprisingly Sweet Tooth of all characters is mostly this throughout the first season. When Jon Doe and Quiet got captured by him and forced to watch his performance, he lets them go after they give him honest feedback and later on in the season he befriends Stu after rescuing him from the Outlaws. He even calls Jon and Quiet a cute couple when he meets them again! He generally is shockingly friendly with most characters he meets but still betrays Jon and Quiet's party after they want to also kill Agent Stone and does what he does for selfish reasons. | |

Twisted Metal (2023) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Abuse and mistreatment of service workers. The Milkmen are clearly important if not essential to the functioning of the walled-off societies, but are subject to more violence and mistreatment than almost anyone else. Raven puts John at enormous risk for ice cream. Orange County forces its workers into indentured servitude, complete with chopping off body parts for minor misbehavior. In episode six, it's revealed that the crew at the Astral Burger John and Quiet hide in form a cult around their franchise marketing materials, ultimately committing mass suicide and preserving their bodies in the walk-in. After moving into New San Francisco, John is humorously grateful to a pizza delivery guy since he assumes that his job is as hard as a Milkman's. | |

Twisted Metal (2023) / int_5ee26f31 | comment |
Adaptation Amalgamation: The version of Sweet Tooth presented here combines the mask, physical build, and asylum backstory of his Black incarnation with the showmanship and desire for fame from his portrayal in 4. The characters in the show are taken from every single Twisted Metal timeline outside of Small Brawl, such as Preacher and Bloody Mary from Black, Shepard from Head-On, and Amber Rose and Granny Dread from III. | |

Sequel Hook: Season 1 ends with Raven forcing John to join the racing tournament to win the prize from the host Calypso while Quiet is surrounded by the group of masked women and the leader of said group claims that she's John's long lost sister. Meanwhile in The Stinger, after he was seemingly shot and left for dead by Stu (who saves his friend Mike from Sweet Tooth), Sweet Tooth arrives at the beach to kill Mike and drags Stu off, leaving Stu's fate unknown. | |

Mr. Slam goes from an arrogant architect to a friendly bartender who entertains patrons by smashing watermelons with his giant penis, which is the source of his nickname. He's also the only milkman at the Pit who doesn't turn on John and Quiet when he finds out how valuable their package is. | |

Christianity is Catholic: Played with the Preacher. His outfit is a very clear mix and combination of a modern Roman Catholic Bishop and Puritan 18th century Preacher. He is called "The Preacher" a term used most commonly by evangelicals and Puritans. That said, he likely was a Catholic Priest before as he mentions before world ended, he was a "man of God" and "celibate", and only Roman Catholic Church pracitices celibacy. | |

Apocalyptic Logistics: Played with. John only operates on the West Coast, barely crossing the Rocky Mountains. However, gasoline and ammunition for the cars seems nearly limitless. Communities feast on dog food but have no problem paying with gas or bullets. Then again, we never see what goes on in these walled off communities, whether a source for oil discovery/refinement or a method for creating new ammunition was discovered. | |

Upon their first meeting with Sweet Tooth, John and Quiet are forced to watch an entire comedy set he has planned, only for Sweet Tooth to come close to killing them when the former starts acting like this.

Product Placement | |
Twisted Metal (2023) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: John receives Bosch brand windshield wipers as payment in one scene and praises their performance as he cleans a thief's blood off his windshield. The flashback in episode three includes a mix of living and extinct brands from circa 2002, including Waldenbooks, Claires, and the Motorola Razr. | |

Running Gag | |
Twisted Metal (2023) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: John repeatedly uses "Jell-O" as a greeting after he's introduced to it in the first episode but misunderstands the word. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
Twisted Metal (2023) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: Raven claims that she can give Doe anything he wants if he completes his delivery mission. After asking what it is Doe wants, he immediately requests 2-ply toilet paper. Raven suggests a better idea, to which Doe amusingly assumes it's the 3-ply version. John's ignorance of the pre-apocalypse world often leads to him falling into this trope. | |

Accidental Murder | |
Twisted Metal (2023) / int_fd497706 | comment |
In a flashback, Agent Stone accidentally kills a child in a fit of rage and we are shown a teddy bear splashed with the child’s blood. Twisted Metal: Black’s Agent Stone also had this as part of his backstory, albeit in a slightly different context. | |

Twisted Metal (2023) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In the first episode, John mentions toilet paper as something he yearns for. Several episodes later, in a flashback sequence he's shown using an extravagant amount of toilet paper in Raven's bathroom. | |

Twisted Metal (2023) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: While going through John’s car, Stu finds the faded family picture. Rather than take it or throw it out like all of his other belongings, he chooses to put it back. Averted and then some in episode Seven, where a young Sweet Tooth murders a Golden Retriever for upstaging him with knitting needles. | |
