Berserk Movie 4: Rise Of The Hawk
Okay, Berserk fans. Let's talk about something potentially controversial. Something that might make you clutch your Griffith figurines a little tighter. I have a confession to make.
I think... I think a hypothetical Berserk Movie 4: Rise of the Hawk... could actually be good. Bear with me!
Why Another Movie (Hypothetically Speaking, Of Course)?
Look, I know. The Berserk anime adaptations have a, shall we say, checkered past. Some are great. Some… not so much.
Must Read
But imagine a movie focused solely on Griffith's ascent. Not just the eclipse. But the meticulous planning. The manipulation. The downright evil genius of it all.
We could finally see the seeds of darkness planted. Witness the gradual erosion of his humanity. And maybe, just maybe, understand (though not excuse!) his actions a little better.
Less Guts, More Griffith? Unpopular Opinion Alert!
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Less Guts? Blasphemy!” But hear me out. Guts' story is amazing. It's iconic. But maybe, just maybe, a breather from the non-stop action would be nice.
A movie dedicated to Griffith's perspective? Exploring his inner turmoil (or lack thereof)? That could be fascinating!
Think of it like this: a political thriller set in a medieval fantasy world. With a healthy dose of existential dread. And maybe a few demons thrown in for good measure. Sounds intriguing, right?
What Would It Look Like? My Wishlist
If this hypothetical movie ever happened (and let's be honest, it probably won't), here's what I'd want to see:
First, ditch the CGI. Please. Go back to the hand-drawn style of the Golden Age arc movies. It’s just… chef's kiss.
Second, delve into Griffith's relationship with the Band of the Hawk. Show us the moments that built their loyalty. Make us feel the sting of his betrayal even more.
Third, focus on the politics. Show us how Griffith played the court. How he outmaneuvered his rivals. How he secured his power.
Fourth, explore the metaphysical side. Hints of the God Hand. Whispers of destiny. The subtle influence of forces beyond human comprehension.
"But wouldn't that make Griffith sympathetic?" some might ask. And to that I say: Maybe. And that's okay! Complex villains are the best villains.
The Risk vs. The Reward
Look, I understand the risks. Messing with a beloved story is always a gamble. And Griffith is already a complex character.
But I believe a well-executed Berserk Movie 4: Rise of the Hawk could add a new layer of depth to the story. It could offer a fresh perspective. And it could give us a deeper understanding of one of the most iconic villains in anime history.
So, am I crazy? Probably. But a man can dream, can't he? Let me know your thoughts! Would you want to see a Griffith-centric Berserk movie? Or am I completely off my rocker?
Regardless, may Miura rest in peace, and may his incredible creation continue to inspire us.
And may we all avoid being sacrificed to the God Hand. Just in case.
