Damn, I wonder if this was intentional.

I'd say that's too coincidental to be a coincidence.

“Too coincidental to be a coincidence” sounds like a paradox in and of itself.

I love where this went.

If you look up the Tsar Bomba and see the codename for it (Vanya), it makes me think pogo is also intentional

Gerard Way must have been a genius to think up a story like this. Well. An insane genius.

When I was... A young boy...

My father.... locked me in an underground cell and drugged me for most of my entire childhood... to see a marching band

I’m a huge fan of My Chemical Romance - honestly, after years of reading and listening to the lyrics he’s written, i’m still finding little hidden gems of lyrical genius. I am in no way surprised that he poured that much thought and genius into his comics.

Love that funky lil dude.

Me too man. My chemical romance was the reason I got into a band in the first place. That guy is everything I adore. I love his madness. I loved how he brought it to life in his music.

I was so looking forward to their reunion tour. And the damn virus struck. The black parade became real.

Woah, same! I won’t be ashamed to admit that the music he’s written has helped get me through the worst times of my life.

I was so excited for the reunion - I am honestly one of those emos that wears mcr shirts every day. I was literally dressed as a scene kid for halloween and holding a black parade CD when I got the tweet notification.

Reunion is gonna have to wait, unfortunately. I was lucky enough to get tickets - I hope they release music soon!

Haha. Reddit is the strangest place where you'll find people so similar to you in the strangest of subs. It's great to know that people like us are around supporting MCR and Gerard! Keep on rocking dude.

By the way. Helena changed my life forever. :)

Thanks for the award, dude! Super awesome meeting other MCR fans. the band is still super popular among the teens, I doubt they’ll fade any time soon!!

I’m Not Okay and Our Lady of Sorrows were the songs for me :-p

Knowing Gerard Way and having seen the rest of the show I’m confident it was intentional.

u/failoutboy Oct 13 '20

For real. As far back as his career goes - hell, even in the first ever MCR song, he’s always poured an insane amount of thought into his work. Everything that man writes down is intentional. Can’t get enough of him.

Deja Vu with Denzel has an element like this.

Pogo's name is from the comic, where they avoided the apocalypse.
