freyr58: allaboutmeandmymentalillness: “I’ll take this, if you don’t bother…” When it comes to timestop/ freeze time sequences in media, one detail I’ve always find amusing and alluring is the interaction beetwen only men, when our hero interacts only with those men frozen in time. There’s an element that reminds me to power dynamics: men in power (represented by those able to move or control) VS weak men (those who are frozen in time, unable to move or react). One thing about this, and I want to explain a bit more, is that not necessarily the guys who have the hability to stop time are or have an important charge or position of power, neither if the men who get frozen be or have some power position,but those elements can be useful to make more amusing the interaction: Like the non-frozen guy mocking an authority like his boss (men in power), a rival (equal) or just a random subject to be target of some mischief that shows he is the one in charge, with power, who is in some way “superior” to the rest. Stuff I enjoy when a man can do to another men while time is frozen: Taking advantage in front another men due they are not respond basically cause they can’t, are literally unable to do it. Watching them taking control things, moving objects or persons from a place to another, talking to the frozen subjects. The smirk in the face of the non-frozen guy when they notice all the freedom and power they got and how no ones else have it. An example of the confidence and cockyness they can get once they have the power. The stiffness of the frozen men, which is practically perfect, cause ironically they look like statues of flesh or real live mannequins. How they just keep quiet, rigid or stiff, with their stare direct to a specific place or nowhere, stopped in mid action (whatever was that). This is a great analysis of time-stop and why we enjoy it! -- source link
