translated from Spanish: Marginal 3: 6 observations on Chapter 5

In some ways El Marginal has gone from being a local fiction that stands out for the excellence of some performances and its high values of production to the series that nourishes the portals of our country of articles entitled “Who is the actress who starred in the scene hot?”. The fifth episode of the third season confirmed that, away from an interesting plot or attractive new characters, Underground’s production bets on impact and transgression as the only selling arguments. I spend a new week and little progress has made the story within the San Onofre penalty. Cristian continues his slow fall into doom, the Borges continue to fuel the toxicity of their relationship, and the yard continues to plan For Mario’s fall (something we already know is not going to happen). We then leave them with the observations of this week’s episode of the third season of The Marginal:PANTERA SUELTA

Pantera lives up to his nickname Picture: Public TV

Last week the series had been fired with the release of Pantera, The Toad’s former right-hand man deserved to slave the Borges, at bruni’s hand. During this episode Pantera became an almost supernatural character reminiscent of The Beast, the character of Fragmented (“Split”) and Glass played by James McAvoy, hungry for revenge, living in the shadows of the old prison and moving with the sagacity of the animal that gives it its name. Besides, it’s apparently bulletproof, because when he was attacking God and James shoots him, he escapes without any scratches. We can consider two possibilities: that James shot into the air (why would he?) or that a guy with a lot of gun use experience didn’t hit a huge target five metres away. It won’t make much narrative sense, but they made it eact of showing Pantera beating (again) someone on the floor when it was already defeated. Let’s say everything. I AM WHAT I AM

Mario and Gina against prejudices (of him) Picture: Public TV

Tormented by his homophobia and motivated by an almost couple’s argument with Gina (Mariana Genesio Peña), Mario decides to go to the criminal psychologist (Javier Pedersoli) to analyze his own impulses making it clear that “the mines still like them”. It is a scene that shows real development and perhaps the highest level of deconstruction that can be obtained within the context (Mario, after all, calls heterosexuals “normal”). However, since in the first season we saw no signs of that growth—or Gina—I assume that the emotional connection between the two (added to their future plans) make her a potential victim of Pantera or Bruni.LIKE A VIRGIN

Cristian, Romi and Diosito Picture: Public TV

Maybe I’m wrong, and over the course of the next three episodes we’ll see the impact of “the sex scene play from the last episode of The Marginal” (as some portals may have titled), but it’s hardly the case. Cristian had his first sexual experience with Romi (Andrea López) in an encounter orchestrated by Diosito that remembered the with Pastor and two sex workers from the first season because it served him more to the tone of the series than to the plot. However, beyond the “high voltage scenes” what caught the eye was the decision to alternate images of the trio with the events at Emma’s house, where the doctor was touching background. Contrasts that type work when events have relationships with each other and establish a parallelism between the realities of different characters. In this case it seemed to respond to the need to cut a multi-minute scene that had felt (still more) unnecessary. EMMA IN THE BACKGROUND

Emma out of control Picture: Public TV

While Cristian indulking himself to Romi’s charms in a corner of San Onofre, miles from there Emma was hitting rock bottom and reconcing her addiction. It must be accepted, however, that what was a step in the right direction for the doctor proved an abrupt leap in the development of her own conflict. Many addicts know to suddenly open their eyes, but we did not witness a situation that promoted such a change. At least this evolution gave Ortiz, the former footballer and addict played by Macerlo Mazzarello, who almost unintentionally became a confidante — and whose death we followed esperando.SE WAS CHAMPION

Bruni fires Marcos Picture: Public TV

The young man who had the misfortune to face Pantera was left in a vegetative state and Bruni, his uncle, decided to end the suffering and smother him with a pillow while recounting a fantasy in which “Marquitos” kept the champion belt in Las Vegas. It was an emotional scene that unfortunately, even with a great performance of an excellent actor like Alejandro Awada, had no chance of connecting with the audience because we did not have time to create a genuine bond with the characters nor did they explore their relationship in depth. While Awada cried many will have taken the opportunity to check Twitter, and that’s the real tragedy.

Ramos, Chronicle of an Announced Death Picture: Public TV

Estela Morales got an informant inside the San Onofre penitentiary and fortunately for her and her suspicions, a small internal scandal broke out a day later with Pantera’s disappearance. Morales’ action caught Antín’s attention immediately and, thanks to a loose script of papers that forces Ramos to meet with the director at the bar that frequents all the staff of San Onofre, we can anticipate that the poor officer has the hours counted — just like that the defender of the heavy hand performed by Anne Mary.In this note:
