Since 12/23 In 2022, Glass Onion, the sequel to Knives Out, is streaming on Netflix. In the film, Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) once again deals with a complicated murder case, but when the story begins he is not in a good state: during the corona lockdown he seems depressed, has holed himself up in the bathroom and is playing “Among Us”.
In what situation is the detective playing “Among Us?” The film “Glass Onion” begins in May 2020 and the protagonists of the film are grappling with the excesses of the corona pandemic.
With no murder cases to tantalize his senses, detective Benoit Blanc has fallen into a wistful state, lying in the bathtub with a laptop running Among Us in front of him.
He is said not to have left the bathroom for a week.
Indie game from 2018 is suddenly a hit on Twitch, completely freaking out streamers
Among Us was the #1 pandemic game of 2020
What is Among Us? The game “Among Us” was the big winner of the corona pandemic among video games in 2020, especially via Twitch, the game was extremely successful: people compensated for their lack of “real conversations” with the endless arguments and teasing in Among Us: Denn the game is mainly about chatting, arguing and convincing others of your own opinion.
In the game, 4 to 15 players must complete a series of mundane tasks on a spaceship – but up to three of them are “imposters” who only pretend to be lawful crew members. In truth, they are murderers who kill other players.
In briefings after each death, players try to figure out who the killer is and who they’re airlocking to eject from the ship. So the following applies:
Since the game is all about selling well in the reviews and drawing logical conclusions, the game has performed extremely well on Twitch and has made some streamers new stars during the pandemic.
Angela Lansbury and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar video call
Who is the detective playing with? While he’s playing Among Us and things are going pretty badly for him, Benoit Blanc has 4 prominent players in a video call who care about him:
The 4 people are all involved in solving criminal cases in one way or another: even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is writing a crime series about the character Mycroft Holmes.
Does the detective like Among Us? No, apparently not at all. The game can only be seen a few moments when his friends inform him via video call that they have exposed him as a traitor and must throw him out of the airlock.
Benoit Blanc then makes it clear that he simply cannot do anything with such games. He needs the thrill and danger of a real mystery.
It’s a good thing that there’s still a whole Netflix film of action ahead of the annoyed detective.
What does Among Us think of that? Apparently they like it. Among Us has a collaboration with the film going on. “Benoit Blanc” has been available as an in-game skin since December 13th.
It’s exciting to see that our hobby, gaming, is now increasingly taking place in the big mainstream blockbusters, don’t you think?
