One of the things that’s interesting to me about The Man in Black from The Wizard The Witch and The Wild One is how - compared to the rest of the spirits depicted - all of his imagery has to do with human civilization.
Obviously roads in Brennan’s description are made intentionally - different than a path, different than a trail, connecting lives in a more intentional way. The man in black is always shown to be humanoid. His ancient sword is described by him as “sharper than a spinster’s tongue and harder than a misers heart” a spinster and a miser are only concepts that make sense within the context of capital - a human creation.
In a show that is so specific with the dichotomy of the human realm and the spirit realm - it’s interesting to me that this supposedly ancient being kinda doesn’t fit into this wild one/human split.
the way i hear the panting of hunting dogs in the stranger's voice. the growl of creatures that were sent to do nothing but kill, and trained to do nothing but kill, but cannot act without a command. taylor moore the sound designer you are
and brennan with the fucking description of that sword... i need to know Everything about the man in black Immediately
