comment
The Mandela Magazine is a webtoon created by Sr. Pelo which parodies the first season of Mandela Catalogue.The world is overrun by creepy shape-shifting organisms called Alternates, but they aren't particularly interested in killing and replacing people. Instead, they just want to party, and mean no ill will towards humanity. Unfortunately, people still have to put up with their general weirdness.

Creator Cameo: Video creator Sr. Pelo appears as both a photograph and an illustration in the section comparing people with their Alternates. The real-life photo of Pelo is used to represent the Alternate.

Bilingual Bonus: The video changing Cesar's surname from Torres to Castle has an explanation: Torres is Spanish for "towers", specifically castle towers.

Deadly Euphemism: Subverted. Cesar's Alternate tells Mark that it has a present and a surprise for him (implying that it's going to ambush him like in the original series). He opens the door and the Alternates are there waiting for him...to throw him a party. Surprise!

Eye Poke: A person being stared at by N in the dark defends themself from the Alternate by poking him in the eyes, the only part of him that's discernable from the shadows. N asks why they did that before attacking them.

Satan Is Good
 The Mandela Magazine (Web Animation) / int_609eb275
comment
Satan Is Good: Satan still takes the form of the Archangel Gabriel and has a huge Slasher Smile on his face like he does in Mandela Catalogue, but "Gabriel" isn't shown to be malevolent in the slightest and just wants to throw a party. When Mark starts shooting his mom, he's shown to be genuinely horrified like the rest of the Alternates.

comment
Spared by the Adaptation: Rather than turning his gun on himself like he does in Mandela Catalogue, Mark uses the weapon to threaten the Alternates that won't leave his house in Mandela Magazine. While the Alternates escape, Mark ends up repeatedly shooting his mother because he mistakes her for one.

comment
Adaptational Nice Guy: In Mandela Catalogue, the Alternates are malevolent and wish to kill off humans by driving them to suicide. Here, they just want to throw a party with Mark, with "Gabriel" introducing himself stating as much. Notably, the events of "Overthrone" are skipped, summarized with two shepherds stating that they love Jesus, then being vaporized by Gabriel arriving. It's entirely possible that the events of "Overthrone" outright didn't happen in this timeline outside of Gabriel's initial appearance, though what this means for the Nativity story is unknown.

Bait-and-Switch: Mandela Magazine recreates "Gabriel"'s introduction from early in Mandela Catalogue, with him appearing in a dark void with a black bar over his face, whispering "I deceived them..." with a raspy electronic voice. The bar then disappears, revealing a goofy face. Gabriel then exclaims "To have a party!" in a normal voice before dancing as an upbeat remix of "Jesus Loves Me, This I Know" plays in the background.

Left the Background Music On: A soft beeping plays over a still card stating "uh oh! you shot ur mom, mark!" The beeping persists into the next scene showing several Alternates seated in a car, where their glaring at Cesar for not buckling his seat belt makes it apparent that the sound is part of the car's seat belt reminder system.

comment
Overly Long Gag: Partway through their phone conversation, Cesar's Alternate starts making "eeee" sounds at random, much to Mark's confusion. The two arguing about the source of the "eeee"s, along with Mark asking if Cesar is mocking him and the Alternate denying he's responsible while continuing to make the noise, carries on for a full minute.

Adaptational Jerkass: In Mandela Catalogue, Mark is willing to help Cesar with his house's security system as soon as the latter explains the situation. In Magazine, Mark only agrees to help once Cesar starts pleading. He also starts arguing with him once he hears an odd "eeee" sound coming from Cesar's side of the call, accusing him of playing a prank on him and using the excuse of his mother being hospitalized to do so.

Adaptational Wimp: Cesar's Alternate shrugs off Mark's attempt to shoot him in Mandela Catalogue. Not only is one of the Alternates derived from him shot to death in The Mandela Magazine, but all the Alternates in Mark's room (including Gabriel) are intimidated when Mark holds them at gunpoint and get the hell out of dodge as soon as possible.

 The Mandela Magazine (Web Animation) / int_dc057cf3
comment
Adaptation Name Change: Mark Heathcliff and Cesar Torres from Mandela Catalogue are instead introduced as Mark Woodvalley and Cesar Castle.note Doubles as an example Punny Name as well as a bit of Bilingual Bonus: A "heath" is a flat shrubbish area, and a cliff is the edge of a tall mountain or hill, so "Woodvalley" is the inverse of "Heathcliff". Meanwhile, "Torres" is the Spanish word for "towers", specifically referring to the towers of a castle. Thus, Cesar "Castle".

Decomposite Character: In Mandela Catalogue, the hooded Intruder and the one in the TV are the same character, just with a different appearance. Mandela Magazine depicts them as two separate Intruders, with the one in the TV implied to actually be stuck inside of it since the others carry it around. Cesar's Alternate is the same one that rushes at the camera after Mark tries to shoot him in Mandela Catalogue. Mandela Magazine depicts them as separate entities, with the rushing one gaining a tendency to loudly sniff at things.

Brick Joke: The beginning of the video has a safety warning to put on your seat belt because "the sound might annoy your friends". This message is referenced twice later on: During the riff on Mark and Cesar's phone call, Cesar begins making an "EEE" sound, annoying Mark, and the two get into an argument over where the noise is coming from. At the end of the video, the Alternates sit in a car as a soft beeping sound plays and Mark repeatedly shoots his mom. The beeping is implied to be part of the car's seat belt reminder system, as the Alternates start glaring at Cesar because he's the only one who hasn't put his seat belt on yet and the beeping stops once he buckles up.
