How will Tanya tangle with circumstances to reach her goals, and what obstacles will be in her way? That question is a lot more interesting then, “How will Tanya accomplish mission objectives given by HQ?” The movie, then, is also at it’s best when Tanya is either scheming and/or responding outrageously to life-or-death situations. And the world is at it’s best when it unnerves her and forces her to be more creative in getting what she wants. Tanya’s at her best (and excitingly, her worst) when she’s making entirely mind-boggling sociopathic calls that dictate fates of nations and lives all for her own gain.
TANYA SAGA OF EVIL MOVIE TORRENT REDDIT MOVIE
The movie never comments positively on either Germany-encoded imperialists or the “commies.” Image courtesy of Studio Nut Tanya at Her Best (or Worst) It side steps sympathizing with any side of the war at all. Thankfully, the movie avoids these giant landmines. I was worried that SAGA OF TANYA THE EVIL was either going to be extremely sympathetic to the Empire or romanticize imperialism and warfare. Not having viewed the original source material, I was incredibly apprehensive about this fantasy world with complex historical political elements. It’s all simultaneously preposterous but familiar enough for the watcher to quickly grasp the larger picture. Images of mage war units zooming around the sky with prayer-activated guns are paired with jarring anachronistic grim scenes of trench warfare. The Empire is engaged in an all-out war with the rest of psuedo-Europe, including countries such as the Commonwealth (United Kingdom), Francois Republic (France), and Russy Federation (Russia, but with the Soviet Union controlled by Stalin elements). She’s part of a country known as the Empire (read: Germany, circa World War I). Though infused with magical elements, Tanya’s world borrows heavily from World War I and World War II history. Tanya’s Universe: World War I but with Mages We want to see either the rules screw over her or Tanya using the rules to her advantage. But it’s really the least interesting part of her relationship to this new universe and it’s rules. We know Tanya working her hardest for the Empire is a facade that covers up her true intentions. It’s all working out a little bit too well, and that’s boring. Tanya is calmly playing by the rules in seemingly harmonious agreement with the universe. Part of her plan is playing the role of a perfect military commander.Īnd that’s all very good and well, but there’s a lack of a certain tension. Tanya continues her quest of finding a way to selfishly live her life in luxury. But all that comes rather late in the movie. Certain events and characters deepen our understanding of Tanya, her worldview, and even offer a contrast. SAGA OF TANYA THE EVIL – THE MOVIE does add something significant to the SAGA OF TANYA THE EVIL universe. Image courtesy of Studio Nut Slow Beginning: Tanya Playing By the Rules Tanya ascends the ranks and ends up with her own Battalion by the end of season one. Her hope is to reach a high enough position in the military to where she is out of the reach of warfare. In trying to avoid that fate, Tanya (counterintuitively) ends up joining the Empire’s army. However, it is in the body of a young orphan girl at the turn of the 20th century… in an alternate universe.īeing X decrees that if Tanya either doesn’t have faith in him or doesn’t die a natural death, her soul will be destroyed. The God, insulted yet intrigued, decides the salary man should reincarnate the man. Being X claims he is God, much to the skepticism of our main character. However, he opens his eyes to the presence of an entity he calls Being X. An unhappy employee pushes him in front of a train after being fired by our salary man.
