Twin Peaks is a Muse for many artists in all fields. Deadly Premonition, Alan Wake, Kona, Silent Hill, Oxen free, Sopranos, Riverdale, Wayward Pines, etc. Those are just off the top of my head.
@@doclouis4236 - I know Deadly Premonition specifically is pretty much Twin Peaks: The Video Game except it was made by a Japanese survival horror team.
Also, the animated Disney series Gravity Falls by Alex Hirsch. Funny enough it was my obsession with GF that I decided to give Twin Peaks a watch and am now a fan too and it's not usually the kinda show I'd like.
@@doclouis4236 Big themes around similar media that I'm familiar with such as Gravity Falls, Wayward Pines, Stranger Things and Welcome To Night Vale. Small towns, quirky characters, strange/paranormal happenings and an overarching mystery.
I love the how both the United States and Japan love things from each other's culture and pop culture. I'm a huge fan of Godzilla an Twin Peaks but I'm now just finding out TP was huge In Japan.
Funny this pops up in my recommendation. I'm Japanese living in the States and just told my wife about going to Seattle for that - staying at Great Northern Hotel and hit the cafe to get a damn fine cup of coffee,,, after this whole corona thing gets over...
Sometimes, one of the hardest things about great media and content is seeing the mediocre reaction and response among the mainstream, which is way behind it at the time. I watched all of Twin Peaks over the last few months for the first time and it felt 100% fresh, relevant and original today. When I watch the broadcast news and hullabaloo about it at the time, it couldn't be more different - so painfully early-mid 90s! so dated! It reminds me that this is how it's always been, and it's okay - Twin Peaks survived. So will the great content of today and the future.
There’s no such thing as “painfully early-mid 90’s!” Considering that Twin Peaks aired in the early 90’s, this is a silly criticism, so you can’t reasonably blame “the mediocre reaction and response among the mainstream” on the decade, as if its mentality is inherently backwards. Calling something “so dated” is a purely superficial and detracting way of pointing out how it represents the era it was made in, a factor that should never be considered an imperfection, so no, this is not “how it’s always been.” There’s plenty of great media that was praised at the time of its initial release and that the mainstream wasn’t “way behind,” so it’s not “one of the hardest things about great media.”
Well I loved it, especially how it honored the townspeople of Twin Peaks and the audience by honoring those who passed on... it was truly a magnum opus to the fans, the actors, and the town of Twin Peaks! 😭
Araki was definitely inspired by his real life hometown in the creation of Morioh, as well as the concept of slice of life, the mystery genre, and serial killers, but also very probably, by the structure of Twin Peaks when creating DIU: A small established town relatively unperturbed until one day, a murder(s) gain attention and give light to a horrifying threat, an ominous looming force that has long cursed a calm and friendly place which weighs down upon it with such burden and terror, and gives way to the mystery, surrealism, and even the supernatural inherent to an otherwise mundane locality. I adore Twin Peaks and Jojo, and I highly doubt Araki outright ripped off Lynch and Frost's Magnum Opus; but it's more like very a clever use of nuanced inspiration in how DIU executes the melding of genres in quirky and terrific way all the while remaining original. This is part of why DIU is my personal favorite installment of JJBA and part of why I consider it a masterpiece of manga, anime, and even in a general sense; Steel Ball Run of course (Part 7) is Araki's Magnum Opus, and is honestly top 5 manga of all time imo💯
@@zombiecat5019 oh damn I forgot to reply to this! twin peaks if I remember was influential on zelda with the weird nonsensical townspeople with unique personalities
I find it interesting. Twin Peaks and Silent Hill are both the names of their respective series as well as the disturbingly unhinged town the events mostly transpire. I'm tempted to think it was international.
Twin Peaks is considered an inspiration too. There used to be a site that compiled all the things the creative team listed as an inspiration for Silent Hill.
So this is what inspired the Velvet Room from the Turn Based RPG Game Series entitled "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona" made by Atlus, but only the color of the room is different. for example, the Black Lodge from Twin Peaks is red, while the Velvet Room from Persona is blue
I love S1 and S2. I think the final scene is a fantastic end to the series. What came afterwards was unnecessary imo but I don't begrudge those who enjoyed FWWM and TR.
What I'm trying to make clear is that using a stuffed animal to represent an endangered species as an ecological protest constitutes the supreme incongruity.
