In all 6 seasons, ive had 4 favorite characters. 2 are dead, 1 is possibly dead & 1 has been exposed to people of the town.
My heart is heavy.
remmick and the vampires present a false dichotomy
Hogwood (the man who sold the twins the mill) and the KKK are very obviously bad, they are outright malicious bigotry, they use the n-word and plan to lynch the moore's and their community, they are so blatantly racist and hateful it's unavoidably obvious
remmick and the vampires however say that they believe in equality, say that they want to create a community, and yet remmick's goal throught the movie is to both metaphorically and literally steal sammie's ability for his own goal of reconnecting with his irish ancestors, a white man wants to harm a young and upcoming black man and use talents for his own goals without giving any regard to said black man's autonomy or agency
when sammie sings 'I lied to you' in the juke joint and calls forth the spirits from the past and future, it's a blend of cultures; west african, east asian, native american, and african american song and dance blend together across time and space to tell the stories of blues; where it takes its inspiration from, the music genres it then inspired, the complex history of black american culture and its intersections with other peoples of colour in the USA
when remmick and the vampires kill and turn the people in the juke joint, and then perform rocky road to dublin, only remmick's irish culture is on display, there is no influence from the black and asian people he has forcibly assimilated into his song, it's juxtaposition with the earlier scene is blatant, remmick is more than happy to assimilate people of colour into his 'community' of 'equals', and yet its only whiteness that is celebrated, that is normative
remmick claims that he's doing people a favour by turning them immortal, conviently ignoring that he literally has to suck the life out of them to do so, trapping their spirits on earth, he claims that he's the good guy, that the KKK were gonna come and lynch everyone at the joint in the morning anyways, conviently ignoring that he's doing the exact same thing; a white man leading a mob to kill a bunch of black people
in the final confrontation with sammie remmick repeatedly dunks him into the river, a forceful baptism. both the celtic irish and enslaved west africans had their religions suppressed and destroyed by colonialsm, had christianity forced upon them by the british empire, and in that scene we see remmick repeating that cycle, using christianity to inflict harm, and sammie reclaiming christianity, despite all the complex emotions he has arround it, as many colonised peoples have and still do, when he recites the lord's prayer
remmick and the vampires are no less racist than hogwood and the KKK, are no less predatory or evil, they're just less blantant about their bigotry, they represent the system, the normalised white supremacy that is seeped into the very foundation of culture in america, the point isnt that remmick would call any of the black characters in the movie the n-word, i dont think he would, the point is that his exploitation and desacration and inserting-himself-into-when-he-wasn't-invited of the juke joint is a microcosm of what white people have done to black american arts and culture since ever since there have been black and white people in america, and even before that
theres a reason vultures are shown early on in this movie

Hi I have a theory! Ok so we know that UT mourns Vincent's death so what if he was trying to bring him back as bizarre doll? We know his body was burnt to ashes heck UT said it himself but if he had cinematic record and if he had supplement dead body MAYBE he could bring him back!! I know this theory has holes but it makes sense! Maybe UT needs a large amounts of blood for him to bring him into life! Still Idk if Sirius is Vincent amd that Ut suceeded at this point... what do you think thou?
Hi, sorry for my super late reply!!
Mmm, it’s a possibility but, personally I do not think UT is trying to bring back Vincent as a bizarre doll, or more precisely, maybe he might have wanted to revive him, but in the end couldn’t.
For one, UT said that Vincent’s body was burnt to the core, meaning that there’s nothing left of him. Idk, it was never really confirmed but I had always thought that Cinematic Records are attached to the brain (hence, all the stitches on the forehead of Bizarre Dolls and the fact that you have to smash their head to defeat them), so if that were indeed the case, Vincent’s cinematic records must have disappeared in the fire along with his body (his head).
Also, as I explained in this post, Undertaker’s line goes
“Poor thing, even the marrows of his bones were burnt. With that way of dying, … can’t …. anymore”.
The sentence was incomplete, so we don’t know 100% what he was trying to say, but the sentence structure heavily implies that he must have meant something along “Vincent can’t be revived/transformed into a bizarre doll anymore”. And right after that, he continues with
“Ah, but… there still is an “Earl Phantomhvie”, isn’t there“.
I know YP and the online scanlation translated this phrase as ”The ‘Earl Phantomhive’ still lives/is still with us“ but I strongly disagree with both translations and think they are a bit misleading because UT neither mentioned the word "live” nor “be with us” in the original language, but simply said “there is/exists (いる)”. To me it definitely sounded like he’s talking about “another” Earl Phantomhive who can replace Vincent for Undertaker’s goal (whatever that might be) and at the moment I think it is very likely that that specific “Earl Phantomhive” he was talking about in ch105 was
real Ciel.
And imo Violet’s reaction in ch125 pretty much confirmed that real Ciel is Sirius (Violet knew that Sirius looks like our Ciel since he was his blood donor and that’s why he was so scared when he saw our Ciel because he mistook him for Lord Sirius/real Ciel for a moment).
So personally, I do not think Undertaker would be able to revive Vincent in any form (be it a clone or a bizarre doll) and I assume that’s the very reason why UT cried in ch105 in the first place.
So that’s *my* take on the “UT tries to bring back Vincent” theory! :D
