Couldn't he have come up with a cooler animal? What's the point? I could write something better than this. My guy would turn into a charging kayak or a really big dog. Seems a waste.

>>12316617
no. the author decided it wasn't important. i think someone in hollywood could maybe make a prequel to explain what happened. who turned him into a bug. how they did it. it could make for a really cool sci-fi premise, so, i guess it's not that bad of a story.

>>12316915
he could have been a cool bug man like the shape of water. nobody even cared that he turned into a bug. i think if my brother turned into a bug i would run into his room and scream and promise to help him. that could have been a really cool moment with a lot of drama but i guess we'll never get that now. the author just didn't seem to care about his story at all.

AS GREGOR SAMSA AWOKE from unsettling dreams one morning, he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrously hot fifteen year old girl. He lay on his soft, round behind and when he raised his head a little he saw his gently rounded belly between the twin arches of his newly budded breasts from whose height the coverlet had already slipped and was about to slide off completely. His long, lithe legs, which were wonderfully topped with almost Callipygian thighs flickered helplessly before his eyes, and he had to force his hand to remain still rather than explore the cleft that he knew now lay at the juncture of those soft and smooth legs.

i don't remember any scene where the beetle guy is jewish. mostly is he posting from bed. i don't think he even goes outside. it would have been cool if the author had given him his own religion, but he didn't even do that. like if he showed up to temple as a giant beetle, everyone would have been really shocked. or, even better, a basketball game. then he could user his beetle powers to win the game for the team. kids would have really liked that ending better. you have to think about your audience sometimes.

i downloaded a book of kafka's stories to do this. previously, i'd only ever seen "the metamorphosis" because there was a period in the seventies when female comic artists would ALWAYS draw a version of this. they always used cursive script to letter it, which made it unreadable. also i just checked out how long the damn thing is, and i don't think i could keep the joke going that long without having to deconstruct it, and that's too much like work.

jews aren't economically uniform. They're whatever serves them best from a materialist perspective. Some are communist some are capitalist. Lion king is capitalist propaganda, not commie propaganda.

It's because he's a jew. When you criticize a jew and another jew sees it his tribal instincts kick in and he has a reactionary response that usually results in something like "I want to kill you" or "neck yourself" or "may yahweh steal your progeny's foreskins and bless the hebrews with them " and so on.

Don't take it personally. In this information war vs the rat kike we have heard it all and much worse.

Jews are very uniform. Jews used to be communist and anti-capitalist when jews weren't running the capitalist system, but now that they are they collectively attack opponents of their neoliberal judeo capitalist system. Because they are tribalists first and foremost.
