User blog:Michel Deus/PE Proposal: Thin Man (Come to Daddy)

for today's PE Proposal I come with an unusual one yet again from a medium that is not often seen in PE discussions for obvious reasons, a music video - however this particular music video is so disturbing that it rockets itself into infamy and Thin Man is thus probably among the darkest and most sinister creations in the music industry.

Thin Man (Come To Daddy)

Who Is He?
a demon of great power and malice that is imprisoned within a television set, the story of the Thin Man is a disturbing look into how said demon awakens in the modern age and lays siege to a council estate, terrorizing everything he comes across.

What Does He Do?
he electrocutes a dog before even truly manifesting, he then has demonic minions run around the estate and brutally vandalize everything in their path as well as fight one another, they also pursue and stone a man presumably to death for no reason - he then manifests fully and attacks an old woman, all the while it is very apparent he wants to collect and torture the souls of everyone around himself as the lyrics basically equate to "I want your soul, I will eat your soul" over and over.

He transforms the entire area into his own personal Hell and it is very clear nothing is safe from the anarchy he and his minions are spreading, the horror of it all is that he's probably just getting warmed up too.

Reasoning?
none - he is clearly a sadistic, supernatural and wicked harbinger of the apocalypse who wants nothing other than to abuse life itself.

Setting
being a music video it is hard to gauge but let's just say he's the focus of the entire song so he is the heinous standards for his work, since there's no confirmed minor villains etc to compete with (his minions are just extensions of himself).

Verdict
I think he can count - while I fully understand it may be difficult because of the very nature of music videos but this one has a story and a purpose, which pushes him up there and he is a vile creation (even if, ironically, he was originally just a "joke" by the artist - which mutated into something far more twisted than he intended).
