there is a pacrim shaped worm in my brain

I have an essay to write about Macbeth rn but I can't focus as my brain is being infested with thoughts of Newton Geiszler and Hermann Gottlieb, and my last chance to save my grade is ranting here about them and hoping that'll clear up some space.

First point, the tenderness (and lack thereof) in how they interact in Uprising is crazy. Their meeting after literally a decade of most likely no contact, Hermann is ecstatic and talkative, whereas Newt is... not. He regards him like a nuisance even when presented Hermann's notes. Speaking of that, there's a big flip of personality between the two of them after the timeskip. Hermann approaches his science in the way that Newt did in the first movie: he rambles, runs all over the place, offers strange ideas and is ultimately correct in the end. Newt, though, is a different person for most of the movie, literally. He is quick to shut down Hermann's ideas, is very rigid, and has this air of stiff professionalism about him. Their clothing demonstrates this, as well, with Hermann's suit jackets in the first movie being very straight and triangular, then losing the sweater vest and donning a much looser suit jacket for Uprising. Newt goes from a dress shirt with rolled sleeves and (sometimes) a leather jacket, to tailored suits. He also trades his actual glasses to either sunglasses that hide his eyes or just no glasses at all. As I'm typing this I'm just realizing the sunglasses thing is probably because it hides the bloodshot eyes he gets from brain-boning Alice. God. Okay I'm going back to work.
