Cells at Work #07 — Won’t Somebody Root For Leukemia?
August 18th, 2018
We didn't think this through, did we?
Impressions:
There is so much wrong with the writing here that it's hard to know where to start. I guess with the biggest moment of sheer bizarreness; the sappy ending that begs us to empathize with those poor exploited cancer cells. Yes. There's finally a show here to fight for cancer. Won't somebody think of that poor cancer? The common cold is a mindless plague, but cancer? That is what we need to round out and make a tragic villain.
And then there's the more micro level, like the start where the Natural Killer immediately IDed it as cancer. This was then followed up by the other two going through this whole scene where they review all the things just stated by the narration about cancer cells and come to the conclusion that the antagonist is… cancer. It's like they got the scenes in the wrong order and instead of fixing it, added a copy of the exposition to the first part.
