Unmasking the Dark Side: The Psychological Impact of Wearing Witch Executioner Attire

By admin

Witch executioner garb refers to the clothing and accessories worn by individuals tasked with carrying out the execution of individuals accused of witchcraft during the witch trials of the Middle Ages and Early Modern period. The garb worn by witch executioners varied depending on the time and place, but it often served to convey authority and to intimidate both the accused witches and the general population. One common component of witch executioner garb was a long black robe, which symbolized the somber nature of the task at hand. The robe often had a hood that could be pulled up to partially obscure the executioner's face, adding an element of mystery and fear. In some cases, the robe may have also been adorned with symbols or insignia associated with the church or the governing authority, further emphasizing the executioner's role as an agent of the state or the religious establishment. In addition to the robe, witch executioners often wore a wide-brimmed hat, which served both practical and symbolic purposes.



Magic funhouse cast

Fullscreen set out to tell the story of Magic Funhouse, an adult show about a kids' show, with a heightened, in-world social campaign intended to ignite a fandom around the the show and its creator, Brandon Rogers.

A few priorities were top of mind when developing the campaign strategy: convert fans to Fullscreen subscribers, drive weekly conversation, engage the community with social content that pushes boundaries, and prompt tune-in at key touchpoints: series launch, each new episode day, and finale day, once the full season was "bingeable."

Strategy and Execution

To kickoff the season premiere, Fullscreen + McBeard partnered with the cast to host an innovative, engaging live activation on Facebook that would give fans the opportunity to interact with the characters, inviting them to be a part of the world that Brandon Rogers created. McBeard concepted a narrative that spoke to the absurd nature of the show, while incentivizing audience participation and real-time viewing.

We promoted the launch event as a live "storytime" with the host of Magic Funhouse, Mr. Marble. We offered fans the opportunity to engage with on-camera talent during the stream by asking them to contribute nouns, verbs, and adjectives in the comment section to help Mr. Marble fill in the blanks of (what would end up being) a very twisted story. When the ad-lib was complete, we panned out to reveal an audience of young children waiting to be read a wildly offensive story. In its entirety, the video stream was just under 15 minutes.

Due to the success of the launch live stream, we went on to do one final Facebook live stunt tied to the season finale and official Season 2 announcement. This time around, the activation was positioned as a "surprise announcement," rather than an interactive engagement play. The video began with 2 minutes of pre-roll where the casted PA held up a sign letting the audience know an announcement was coming soon. Soon after, Mr. Marble entered and provided the audience with a special message: that the full Season 1 of Magic Funhouse was now available for streaming on the Fullscreen app, and that there would be a Season 2, coming soon. When Mr. Marble wrapped his message, he "accidentally" forgot to end the recording. A hilarious "hot mic" interaction with the PA came next, before officially concluding the 5-minute stream.

Fans went wild, and conversation about the highly-anticipated Season 2 immediately caught fire.

Results

Within the first 24 hours of the launch live stream activation, the video organically produced 18,633 total views. The video went on to be viewed over 26k times to date. Fans loved the live activation which was evident, as there was a social conversation spike surrounding the series as soon as the Facebook Live event started. To date, the video has received over 2.2k social endorsements.

As for the finale live stream, which was approached as a stunt tactic with no pre-promotion, the video quickly gained traction post-live activation. To date, the video has been viewed over 11k times and received over 2.6k social endorsements.

Both live streams successfully drove series tune-in at launch and finale, spiked social conversation and engagement, and most importantly, gave fans exclusive content to watch and share.

Critically-Acclaimed Comedy Series MAGIC FUNHOUSE to Return 8/24

Fullscreen today announced that season two of the critically-acclaimed original MAGIC FUNHOUSE will premiere Thursday, August 24, 2017, with back-to-back episodes followed by one new episode each week for the seven-episode order. Returning for the sophomore season are Brandon Rogers, Elise Christian, Alex Diehl, Paulette Jones, Jude Lanston, Nandini Minocha, TJ Smith and Jess Weaver.

The series, written and directed by Rogers, who was recently honored as a New Face: Creator at this year's prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, takes a colorful behind-the-scenes look at the misadventures of a campy public access children's program ruled by a maniacal star, who treats the series as a playground for his twisted imagination; featuring the worst advice for kids, an inept crew, and endless technical difficulties

This season picks up with the 'Magic Funhouse' crew in different places after the trial at the end of season one led to the show cancellation, Dave (Jess Weaver) going to jail and the troupe dispersing. We pick up with Arlo (Brandon Rogers) working at the courthouse snack stand while the rest of the group prepares to pull off 'Operation Magic Funhouse,' a plan that includes convincing Arlo to revive the show and take it out on the road. Having already secured their first booking, a little girl's birthday party out in the countryside, what seems like an easy gig is quickly turning out to be their worst nightmare. The gang narrowly escapes with the help of Cordula (Monique Parent), a television executive, who works to charm them with an offer of bringing back the canceled show. But the road to fame is bumpy and the gang will have to pull together if they are to keep the show going.

The seven-episode freshman season was Fullscreen's most anticipated new series of last year, with the first episode posted on Roger's Youtube page being viewed more than 3.8 million times following the show's announcement. Critics have raved about "Magic Funhouse," with The New York Times calling the series "saucy." The series is written and directed by Brandon Rogers for the seven-episode order and produced by Super Deluxe.

Magic Funhouse Season 1 Review: Corporate’s Worst Nightmare

Sometimes…well…sometimes a show is hard to quantify for multiple reasons. It might be extremely complex, out of our capability to comprehend or just plain outlandish. Magic Funhouse is one fun such show, except it’s hard to quantify thanks to the fact that it’s something that should never be allowed to air under any circumstances.

A brainchild of the twisted and hilarious Brandon Rogers, Magic Funhouse is what happens when someone wonders what would be banned from the airwaves and then puts it online. At first, I wanted to compare it to another amazing and equally fucked up show, Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared, or even Salad Fingers. Unfortunately, those shows have a sense of deeper meaning and nuance leading many to do harrowing research to find out their “true meaning”. With an abundance of terrifying imagery, easter eggs and cypher-like clues, they are some of the best treats the internet has given us, throwing the corporate formula out of the window. Magic Funhouse is just a show about shitty people who make a shitty show and subject each other to the worst kind of behaviour. Despite this, it takes risks in the number of offensive jokes that it delivers, along with some decent character development and a tangible plotline. Despite a shaky final episode, the show delivers on many levels, and hopefully, this brief review will be enough to convince you to check it out.

Plot and Writing

There’s nothing too special about Magic Funhouse’s writing since the real meat of show lies in the ridiculous characters and their antics running Magic Funhouse. However, for clarity, I’ll summarise the show as briefly as I can. Magic Funhouse is narrated from the perspectives of the main cast at some point in the future. It tells the story of Dave, a new grad and Production Assistant who stumbles upon one of the most popular kids shows in the region, Magic Funhouse. Arlow Dittow is the star of the show, main funder and director who was put into a coma by his parents in the 90s before taking a nap for 20 years. Despite Dave’s initial optimism, he learns how terrible and disturbed his costars are. All of them are people who have already been ruined by the life of D-list stardom along with carrying their own terrible traits and traumas, all while sharing them with their young viewers. Throughout Dave’s stay at Magic Funhouse, he is subjected to many ordeals, all while hoping that he’ll one day be able to fulfil his dream of working in television full time. Needless to say, things all go to shit from day one.

Each episode is told from the perspective of one of the main cast, with each of them providing some small insight into their character or background. While we always get some of their personality traits in the episodes, some give a good insight into how or why they turned out the way the did. So at a first glance, it may seem like an underdog story for people who were shoved into the bottom of a barrel and rolled down a hill…until you realise that they’re all irredeemable pieces of shit. Most of their decisions are done in self-preservation, and none of them genuinely give a crap about the other, even if they do display some sympathy occasionally.

The writing is well done in this regard because even during the season finale, I couldn’t help but look at the entire cast as garbage pieces of human excrement because that’s the whole point. It’s like if everyone in It’s Always Sunny had memories of their time in hell before being reincarnated. Even though they each have some personal trauma, none of them tries to work past it, making it hard to truly sympathise with all of them. And the generous amounts of NSFW jokes, plot lines and profanity featured makes it just that much easier to hate everyone. It really is a show about the worst kinds of people. Just, different kinds of bad.

Characters

“A man-child, pornstar, failed singer, corporate scumbag, emotionless gremlin and child molester walk into a recording studio.” It’s the kind of humourless joke about your work that you don’t want to ever make at Thanksgiving dinner. Dave has the misfortune of that being the only joke he can tell at family gatherings. Dave is the main character of the show, the only “sane” one, although that’s put into question by the end of the first episode where even he says that he should have left after his first broadcast. Despite the constant belittlement, abuse and ridicule at the hands of Arlow and the rest of the crew he stays on the show because it’s his dream to one day join the entertainment industry. What makes his character so endearing even at the end, is the fact that Dave started like so many of us. Fresh out of university with hopes and dreams and willing to take any route he could to get to where he needs to. But due to that eager and trusting nature, he’s taken full advantage of and slowly corrupted until he’s turned onto but a shadow of his former self.

Whereas Arlow stands as an antithesis to Dave. Despite his child-like mentality, he’s described as “the worst kind of kid”, and it’s clear to see why. He takes advantage of all of his coworkers and hasn’t really rightly worked for anything in his entire adult life. Despite missing out on his entire childhood, he goes right into showbiz thanks to a large sum of money that his parents. Of course, he’s no good at it despite the show’s success and notoriety. The only reason it’s so popular is because parents don’t give a damn about what their children watch. Instead, with little to no reprimand, he gets to live out his childish fantasies, slowly ruining the lives of the children who watch his shows and the adults who have to be around him. There is still a childish sweetness to him in the end that works either for better or for worse. His trusting nature means that he’s hired some of the worst people around for his show, like a convicted child predator…who ultimately save his life (for reasons). And his reckless abandon has allowed people to at least stay fed and kicking, leaving them with a chance to do better for themselves no matter how long it may take. At the end of the day, his actions are ultimately decided on whether we, the viewers find any merit in them and choose to see them as somewhat moral or entirely abhorrent.

The rest of the cast are just nutcases and very ill-suited to being in society as functional adults. Perhaps my disdain for them is the fact that they don’t actively try their best to better their lives through other avenues. They all deceive Arlow, Cronus is the worst boss ever, Sasha lives in a complete delusion, Cliff is a pornstar just to get laid and Mannie is…well, Mannie. They do have brief moments of lucidity and are good-natured from time to time but they also seem to try their best to be as nasty as they can and to spread that nastiness around. For some of them, well, we can see that that might be the result of past instances of trauma and a lack of love and empathy from others. For the rest…well…fuck em.

Themes

Magic Funhouse isn’t that intelligent, at least, not in the capacity that other subversive pieces of entertainment are. It’s a mix of a reality show, drama and satire, and it’s something that Brandon Rogers does very well. A look into his other skits and Youtube shows reveal that, but Magic Funhouse lays it all bare. I think it, at the end of the day, tries to reveal that a surface level appearance doesn’t reflect the grime within. A lot of us associate certain shows, especially kids shows, with an air of wholesomeness that extends to the cast and production team. But the truth is not always so perfect. Some people will go to any ends to achieve their dreams and that may entail causing some major damage. At the end of the day, Magic Funhouse is a creative bit of media satire, and nothing is safe. Whether it’s corporate executives, failed stars or PAs, no one is safe from Brandon Roger’s sights.

Conclusion

So who is the show for? Well, if you got mad at Dave Chapelle’s Sticks and Stones, this show is not for you. It attacks queers, failures, the elderly, children and ethnic minorities. And you know what? I’m pretty ok with that. Brandon Rogers obviously took a risk with this one. There was a pretty decent chance that this could get him in a lot of serious trouble, both in his personal life and professional life. We do live in an era of internet doxing and cancellation. But the reception from longtime fans and new fans was very positive, and that bodes well for Rogers. Contrary to popular belief, it takes quite a bit of intelligence to be funny and offensive, and not everyone can do it. Otherwise deeply offensive jokes would be the norm. It’s normal for society to draw these lines, but at times it’s also ok to have someone bring these up and relegate them to the world of comedy. So if this show is for you, go for it my dude, I’m sure you’ll have a blast. But if its not, that’s cool too, there’s tons of comedy out there. As for me, I give this show a solid:

A Riverdale Review, and why I Still Put Up With This Shite Show

Riverdale sucks. I’m not saying that to be edgy or spiteful to TV, but I say that with conviction. It’s a show that has me rolling my eyes at almost every decision, character action or plot twist. It’s almost pitiful in its attempts to impress and there are times when I wonder how it’s still on the air. Then I remember that it’s owned by the CW, a network I’ve despised ever since Arrow kicked off in earnest that has managed to create soulless show after soulless show for the past couple of years. There’s no doubt that the CW has enough money to fund these low effort shows considering their own superhero universe has more shows and accumulative seasons than Marvel’s failed attempt. But as much as I bash the CW I do acknowledge they’re capable of creating good shows, when they’re so inclined. Sadly the only example I can think of is The 100 which managed to surpass its source material which is a rare occurrence in and of itself.

Sadly, we’re here to discuss Riverdale, not the 100, and why I can’t bring myself to like it or take it seriously for the life of me. It’s a show that had a lot of potential. After all, it was riding on the coattails of one of America’s oldest and longest-running comics. It had everything going for it including a new star-studded cast with some talent, a decent budget, and a blank slate. Now, in its third season, I find it nothing more than a joke. It’s writing has devolved to the point of high school tomfoolery and it truly saddens me that there are people out there who truly think that it’s a good show. So instead of going on an endless tirade about the crimes of Riverdale, why don’t I show you how, and why it became such an irredeemable mess.

Writing

Not many shows have the strongest writing. In today’s day and age where technology has allowed for the shooting of better, more spectacular films, it’s not so hard to make something look good. 4k, 8k, 12k, you name it, we’ve got it. But the beauty in that is it leaves us more open to scrutinise what lies beyond the camera. The direction the story moves, the actions the character’s take, the motivations, fears and dreams of everyone involved in the story. Now, it might be hard to realise what makes certain bits of writing good or bad, but when I think about it, I usually have two main factors for grading the standard of writing in something.

  1. If I were in that person’s shoes, would I do thesame things, and if not, why?
  2. If someone I know who might relate to the character, would they do the same thing, and if not why?

While the first part of those statements might seem more important at first glance, I think the second part is more important. If, say, Archie is super worried about the Black Hood attacking his dad again, why then does he not go join his mother in Chicago. Is it because of his hero complex? Well, doing that puts his father in even more risk. If the Black Hood went all the way to Greendale to murder Miss Grundy, why stop there? Why not continue killing? And why the hell are the police so damned inept? But I’m getting ahead of myself. My general thought is that the writing in Riverdale after a somewhat believable season leads to more questions than answers.

The example I’ve given was a quick one thought up on the spot, but I hope you get the gist of it. Riverdale, in essence, is meant to be your typical small American town. Secrets are hidden well because if someone ends up finding out, everyone ends up finding out. Sudden acts of violence are incredibly shocking, and conservatism is still the rule of the day for many a citizen, even some of the younger ones. Understanding that context then, makes it even stranger after Season 1. For all intents and purposes, I mostly enjoyed Riverdale’s first season. It was a high school drama wrapped in a mystery. The sudden death and disappearance of a beloved son, brother and friend. Its subplots were engaging as well. A boy trying to leave the clutches of a gang that is run by a father who’s been broken down by a failed system, a broken marriage and the grips of vice. A daughter trying to escape the legacy of her criminal father, a girl juggling the darkness within her and unapproving parents who do nothing but hate on her, and a son who wants to become more than his father. The father who dedicated himself to a backwoods town where nothing seems to go right and the son who has to live up to that ideal while forging his own class. It was a few notes short of masterful modern storytelling in my humble opinion.

All of these are compelling stories to be told, the supporting cast makes the town a more believable place and in the end, many plot points are soundly tied up with room to spare for more seasons. This…well, this is where it all goes to hell I suppose. Now that we’ve taken care of the big bad boss, we need a new big bad boss, one of our main character’s parents, a compelling plot and character motivations to boot. The formula could have been repeated with a few tweaks here and there to spice it up. Except, the writing from there decides to add N0 2 to the formula in order to…up the ante on everything. Mysterious murders, serial killers, more drugs, gang redemption, more high school drama, conflicts between the kids and their parents and of course enough fanservice to make ecchi anime producers blush. Anything goes. and that’s where it falls apart. We’ve had one whole season to explore the nature of the town named Riverdale, the people that inhabit it and the forces that make it turn. So taking away from that dynamic by adding more salt to the broth does nothing but ruin its flavour.

At the and of the day, it had the chance to be more than predictable burner tv garbage, but it decided against it.

Characters

Riverdale, before it went to shit, had actual human characters. People that seemed like they could be pulled out of our own world. Each had their own vices, demons and secrets. Some had pasts they were running from, circumstances that they couldn’t avoid and mistakes that they had made. Easily the most interesting relationship was between Archie Andrews and Forsythe Pendleton “Jughead” Jones III. From childhood friends to seemingly polar opposites in high school, Archie and Jughead embody two entirely different archetypes. One is the popular jock, handsome, loved by everyone and with a father who is highly respected but not a snob. The good guy. But there’s a kicker because he has his own conflicts. He’s sensitive, and not a total idiot. He loves music and wants to pursue it further, even going against his dad’s wishes. Whereas Jughead is the oddment, the weird kid who doesn’t quite fit in anywhere. He reads old literature, writes and avoids the popular crowds like the plague. But his lineage is not quite as clean as Archie’s. As a matter of fact, it’s as muddy as the streets of the South Side where he’s from. He’s constantly bullied from it and knows that most people steer clear of him because they’ll receive the same treatment simply by association. He’s a pariah to put it simply, and this conflict builds inside of him because all it takes is one wrong move become like the very thing he detests. His father.

And the relationship between Fred, Archie’s father and F.P. who is Jughead’s is constantly played on. Fred is a loyal and steadfast man who cares about his friend but also his son, trying to find the right balance. He looks out for F.P. when he can afford to but he looks out for Jughead when he can’t be around his dad. Similarily, F.P constantly battles his own demons, mainly the gang life, alcoholism and an abusive past. He has to deal with oaths made and hard choices, not to mention a system that tries its best to put him and others like him down. This comes to a head in the season finale allowing for relatability as well as drama. You can side with the hero or underdog, everyone has their own choice to make, but in the end, the truth is that most people are fighting their own demons. That’s what made it so good. Sure there’s a big bad, but the choices made, sins of the fathers passed on to the children, the stress of small-town living? They all play a part on each character’s mental state, but the only things they can’t run from, are their own demons.

Then, after Season One everything goes to shit. The show juggles between “OMG #sorelatable” writing and ultra-serious character arcs. Such as Archie becoming involved with the mafia through his girlfriend and Jughead joining the Serpents gang. But that’s not all, because they have to shoehorn as many arcs into this show, such as Betty and her ridiculous insanity, serial killer dad and incredibly stupid mother. Then, of course, there’s Kevin’s tiny and insignificant queer arc, and of course, let’s not forget The Farm. You see, Riverdale had this interesting premise that drew in different sorts of people. A small town with dark mysteries and teenagers losing their innocence amidst the sins of their forbearers all while being interlaced with the kind of unique relationships found in small towns. But the moment it tried to cater to every trend, unintelligent character and soppy teen cliche, it failed, even when it had characters like Jughead or Cheryl bitingly address those cliches. Characters were the lifeblood of Riverdale, and they let it clot to hell.

Believability

Now let me get this straight from the get-go. I hate teenage highschool dramas. They are so trite and poorly written that they could only hope to satiate the shorter attention spans of today’s generation. But I don’t hate them simply because they”re usually corporate burner trash. It’s because we’ve all seen it before. It’s the same old song and dance, usually just with different faces. And it’s incredibly boring as well. There’s always the cliques, popular girl, hopeful protagonist, shy crush and possibly that one gay kid. The only ways that teenage or coming of age dramas become interesting is if the setting in our world is so different from our own that it is intriguing. Or if it is another genre masquerading as a high school drama. Harry Potter, for instance, is not the shining example of magic in a fantasy world. In fact, I’d argue that it has one of the weaker ones and I might write about that in a different video. Instead, Harry Potter is a boarding school mystery wrapped in a magic setting. In much the same way, Riverdale’s first season is a detective mystery wrapped in a highschool setting. It does well in presenting the overall mysteries, sub-mysteries and characters of intrigue before revealing the final twist and perpetrator of said heinous crimes.

There’s an air of believability in that, but once season two rolls in the believability slides right off. It becomes more of a farce, instead focussing more on ridiculous scenarios and characters not reacting properly to them. A serial killer who isn’t investigated by the FBI, a town that hasn’t learnt from any past mistakes despite the short time that has elapsed and silly subplots that do little to reinforce that these are all normal people. Furthermore, each of the main cast undergoes such radical personality shifts that they become unrecognisable. Archie becomes a vigilante, Jughead becomes leader of the Serpents and Veronica suddenly becomes a goose that can’t stop running in circles. All in the span of one season we get a gang succession and turf war, the plottings of the big bad, a murderous game that involved everyone’s parents and an exile story before the hero’s triumphant return. It’s all a lot take in, especially when it’s made apparent that the characters are taking this seriously and acting like its another day in the life.

So we’re left with the hollow shell of a show, going back and forth between unrealistic, and most importantly, unfun story arcs while making sure to riddle them with as much trendy thing as the producers can put in them. School musicals, drugs, delinquents and couple drama. The worst thing is that Riverdale had something good going on for it by pushing some genuinely good social commentary in some arcs. Like how an unjust system can leave many without a home except in the sweet bosom of crime. Or how familial ties can be a burden if they are used to manipulate you shamelessly. Instead, they had to play second fiddle to all the sex scenes and lines of cringey dialogue that flood the show, making it a show to groan at more than anything.

Conclusion

So why do I keep watching this show you ask? Well, I started it, and I want to see it through to the end. Besides, who doesn’t like watching trainwrecks? That isn’t to say that Riverdale has no redeeming qualities. As bad as the writing is, the actors do put in a decent effort, and there are general heartwarming arcs like Reggie’s abuse at the hands of his father. Sadly, Riverdale might have forsaken a brighter fate for the usual teen drama schtick which will never really go out of fashion, and if you like that, hey, I can’t really stop you. But for me, well, there’s too much great TV out there to watch. If I were you, I’d skip or drop this entirely and go for some of the more golden shows out there

In addition to the robe, witch executioners often wore a wide-brimmed hat, which served both practical and symbolic purposes. The hat helped to shield the executioner's face from the elements, but it also served to make the executioner more recognizable to the public. The hat, often with a pointed or conical shape, became a symbol of evil and witchcraft itself, reinforcing the notion that those accused of witchcraft were in league with the devil.

Witch executioner garb

Other accessories commonly worn by witch executioners included gloves, which helped to conceal the executioner's identity and prevent contamination by any perceived malevolent energies associated with the accused witches. Some executioners also wore masks, particularly during the more brutal methods of execution, such as burning at the stake, to protect their face from the intense heat and smoke. The garb of a witch executioner was intended to create an atmosphere of fear and intimidation, both for the accused witches and for the general population. It served to reinforce the authority and power of those carrying out the witch trials and to discourage dissent or opposition. The executioner's clothing and accessories became symbols of terror and death, and their presence alone was often enough to strike fear into the hearts of those accused of witchcraft. Overall, the witch executioner garb played a crucial role in the visual representation and perception of the witch trials. While the actual clothing and accessories varied, they all served to enhance the image of the executioner as a figure of authority and fear, contributing to the overall atmosphere of terror and oppression during this dark chapter in history..

Reviews for "Witch Executioner Garb in Art and Literature: A Cultural Analysis"

- Sarah - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the Witch executioner garb. The quality was poor and the fit was all wrong. The material felt cheap and flimsy, and the seams were already coming apart after just one wear. The sizing chart was also way off, as the garment was too loose in some areas and too tight in others. Overall, it was a waste of money and I definitely wouldn't recommend it.
- John - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the Witch executioner garb, but it fell short of my expectations. The design looked great online, but when I received it, the colors were not as vibrant and the print was blurry. It didn't look nearly as good in person. Additionally, the fabric was uncomfortable and itchy, making it difficult to wear for long periods of time. I was also disappointed with the lack of attention to detail - there were loose threads hanging and the stitching was sloppy. Overall, it just didn't meet the quality I was hoping for.
- Emily - 3 stars
I have mixed feelings about the Witch executioner garb. While the design and concept were interesting, the overall execution was lacking. The fabric choice was comfortable, but it didn't drape well and looked a bit boxy on me. The fit was also off, with the sleeves being too short and the waistline sitting too high. The fastenings were flimsy and seemed like they would easily break with regular use. It's a shame because with some improvements, it could have been a great piece.
