Let's appreciate once again how in the Major Grom movie Yulia Pchelkina never once was a princess in need of saving, was actively engaged in the plot, help the main hero several times and was the one who placed the final nail in the main villain's plan

МАЙОР ГРОМ: ЧУМНОЙ ДОКТОР MAJOR GROM: PLAGUE DOCTOR (2021) — dir. Oleg Trofim

razgrom anastasia au, thoughts?

i see this i respect this we will talk about this in a moment but i raise you: pchelogrom anastasia au. yulia pchelkina, the baddest bitch in st.petersburg, canonically a (box dye) redhead and a journalist with an attitude, in this au is the anastasia. if we're talking movie!verse it's actually perfect because movie!yulia and movie!grom have the exact same dynamic as dmitri and anastasia down to the way their love story unfolds. you don't even have to rewrite anything anastasia and dmitry are literally pchelogrom in the 20th century

NOW razgrom. holy shit. igor is completely disillusioned with the system and seeks to restore justice single-handedly in the only life story that matters for him (with the help of prokopenko who is obviously vlad). sergey leaves the orphanage and is being his pretty sassy self until he stumbles upon this very loud and persuasive guy with three tickets to paris. in the train crash sequence igor absolutely does ask sergey "what do they teach you at the orphanage".

also, rasputin is ptitsa. the bird. the evil feathery alter-ego. also a perfect fit because the constant sabotaging and the final confrontation are both specifically and exclusively about sergey and no one else, and it is pointedly sergey who has to get rid of him.

now what is perhaps the most important question to ask in this whole entire au is this: is margo more of a bartok or a pooka? the former is a lot more fitting to the comics!margo, what with her chewing up dima's keyboard and definitely thriving while ptitsa has his fun in the game arc, but pooka is the movie!margo, the sweet little creature who is there to care for and protect. thoughts

OBSESSED with the fact that in the movie, igor had exactly the same amount of romantic tension with dima as he did with yulya and that the endgame was these three being bffs

your ot3 could never

Do you think Sergey and Oleg's arc have any parallels?

gonna be honest bestie, i had literally never considered this before today, but now that i have i SO many thoughts.

(sorry, not entirely sure if you mean if sergey and oleg's individual arcs have any parallels to each other or if their shared arc has any parallels so i'm gonna blab about both)

comicverse only, as oleg does not pass the sexy lamp test in the movie.

i don't think there are many parallels between sergey and oleg's individual character arcs (maybe because they're willingly apart for approximately half a second in most of the comics), but the main one that i do think about is that they both go back to their "destruction" for the sake of each other: oleg consistently breaks sergey out of prison (the game, time of the raven), even after he shoots him, and sergey takes on the characteristics of the bird to save oleg from altan.

as for parallels between their shared arc and any other character pairings, i think the biggest one i can pick out is yulia and igor. aside from the fact that oleg is literally meant to be as important to sergey as yulia is to igor during the game, there's also a sort of parallel during time of the raven, with both oleg and yulia being catalysts for their respective partner's kuthk decisions. igor rejects kuthk because he used yulia; sergey accepts kuthk because, with oleg "dead," he has nothing left (yeah ik it's not completely canon but come on).

AND if we take the epilogue into account, you could maybe argue that oleg leaving sergey in the cell parallels igor's vision of yulia, with both being their ways of coming to terms with the game (this one's a bit of a stretch though).

a popular comparison for serovolk is vadim and altan, but honestly it's not really my favourite? surface-level, yeah, they're both rich villain/mercenary combos with things about vengeance, but i personally see them as having very different dynamics. we've only had altan and vadim together for, like, three volumes thought, so maybe this'll change lol.

one more, because i'm on a roll: i think there's a surprising amount of parallels between sergey/oleg and anna/olga from just like a fairytale (major grom). gay criminality aside, both pairs are made up of a rich mastermind hell-bent on revenge and someone willing to do anything to make it happen for them, and both revenge plots are theatrical and personal (sergey fighting igor intellectually, olga taking away her father's wealth). and, in the end, both anna and oleg are fatally shot because of the plots except anna doesn't have the luxury of being besties with local italian politicians

(bonus both get fucked up by igor lmao)

and i know i wasn't going to talk about the movie, but i think it's pretty interesting that both comic!olga and film!sergey get rid of suspicion on themselves by "falling victim" to their own crimes (olga being "kidnapped," sergey getting his shit wrecked by that dude at the casino), even if sergey's not doing it on purpose.

in conclusion: crime is forgivable when it's gayi

Twitter thread about pairings and why they have such names

Original Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/lbtSfjqOOgjwfOM/status/1413397363692122118?s=19

Bubble went all the way with their names, let's appreciate it for a sec.

Igor GROM — Thunder.

Yulia PCHELkina — a bee. So their pairing Pchelogrom literally means bee's thunder. That makes no sense but it's cute.

Dima DUBin — an oak. Dubogrom = oak's thunder. Sounds ominous but they are literally the cutest.

Oleg VOLKov — a wolf.

Sergey RAZUMovsky — a mind, intellect. That was a very popular surname, especially in nobility or in 19th literature and the writers themselves said that he's not based on any of them. Regardless, my headcanon is that it's his name because he's, well, smart.

Razgrom (Sergey/Igor) — a smash, a defeat. Finally a perfect name for my hero/villain dynamic.

Serovolk — a grey wolf.

Kirill GRECHKin (the guy who run over an orphan girl, the first victim of Plague doctor) — a buckwheat.

Evgenii STRELkov (the bald policeman from Moscow) — an arrow.

Fans of the movie "Major Grom: Plague Doctor" (myself included) did not expect that the main source of content on PcheloGrom (Yulia Pchelkina + Igor Grom) will be not the movie but the video for the song

oleg and yulia should unionize
