Literally the most insane Agatha Christie plot. The logistics of everything working out as planned would be like doing a perfect stealth run of MGS on your first try. Also>shoots person about to tell Poirot who the killer is>instead of just shooting that person and Poirot as well
>>220413236Yeah it's one of the weaker entries even compared to ransom episodes.
when did they decide to kill her anyways? Judging by their conversation that was only between the two of them in the beginning they hadn’t planned to do so before he met the victim.
I felt really smart when I watched Murder on the Orient Express (the new one) with no knowledge of the plot or any experience with Christie and like 20 minutes in I thought "Oh, I bet they all did it. That seems like something that would blow people's minds in the 1800s or whatever" and I was right.It was fun.
>>220413299Murder on the Orient express would be better if the guy had expressed the desire to repent privately to Poirot just before the murder. It would play better against his Catholicism which that story particularly focused on.
I also think the girl in Labours of Hercules originally must’ve been written as Poirot’s secret daughter. It works too well thematically.
>>220413236It’s one of those episodes where I’m constantly thinking why didn’t they just stab them in an alley and say some random brown person did it
What did Agatha Christie do when she disappeared for 10 days?
>>220413916Hung out with all the friends she told you not to worry about l
>>220413236Better than Murder on the Orient ExpressTwelve people arranging a revenge plot to all be on the same train as a mafia lord who long murdered a child, so they can all stab him once.
>>220413236i kinda like Agatha Christie but i cant watch these newer films because of all the Niggers.
>>220413236>the most insane Agatha Christie plott. man who has only watched 1 Agatha Christie story beforeThat said Death on the Nile is fairly practical and the Poirot series frequently made many changes to the story (often in the service of unironic woke practices such as adding homosexual plotlines) so I wouldn't be surprised if the show's version changed things to make the lot less plausible.>>220413423Related, the Labour of Hercule episode was practically an original concept.>>220413335>the child murderer should have expressed repentanceWhat are you smoking
>>220414304>What are you smokingIt makes it way more interesting if the guy seemed genuinely distraught over the fate of his soul. As it stands the viewer has no reason to consider the morality like Poirot does because the viewer isn’t as moral as Poirot. You just think “welp fuck im’”
>>220414304>Death on the Nile is fairly practicalI don’t have the wherewithal to take the time to diagram out the SSS class sneaking mission they had to accomplish.
>>220414919It's just running between two rooms on the same side of the same deck on the ship.
>>220414882In the Orient Express novel there is no question of morality, Poirot suggests the two solutions ("it was a random assassin who snuck in and out" or "everyone did it") to the train director, they go with the bullshit one, and the novel ends. It's just adaptations that add in scenes of Poirot struggling with the morality of it. There is nothing morally wrong with letting a child murderer die.
Loved this old broad in the movie adaptation.
>>220414936There are tons of people on the ship. Not just passengers but crew. All doing their own shit with no possible way to account for their movementsIt would only make sense if they spiked the wine. Otherwise wait for an opportunity with less unpredictability and maybe when you’re not trapped on a boat with a world famous detective
>>220415051>There are tons of people on the ship. Not just passengers but crew. All doing their own shit with no possible way to account for their movementsCruise ships are party events, just time it for while some event is going on and most people are occupied.>It would only make sense if they spiked the wine.They did in fact spike Poirot's wine.
>>220413236>Literally the most insane Agatha Christie plot. The logistics of everything working out as planned would be like doing a perfect stealth run of MGS on your first tryoh yeah? I raise you pic related
>>220413236Very good novel. Arguably her best.Bad murder “tricks”.Everyome knows that.
>>220415469why was the bee necessary at all….
Recently watched The seven Dials miniseries, boy that bitch can write some mistery, I love it.Also the main actress has a melting smile
>>220413236Should I watch this or should I read the book
>>220416373Read.
>>220415051>There are tons of people on the ship. Not just passengers but crew. And they aren’t all around the ship. The guests are all on the other side of the ship dining or having drinks or whatever the fuck they were doing, I can’t remember. The crew is busy doing the normal routines that are not usually taking place near the cabins.
>Peter Ustinov version of Evil Under the Sun (1982)>randomly change the stepson character to a cute 15 yo girl>actress now>fully tatted>sells crochet kits and makes knit artwhat did I mean by this?
>>220416527All it would take is one person to step outside for a smoke, or a light sleeper awoken by the commotion, or one of the guys knocking on his wife’s door on the way to the other girl’s room and saying “wake up your husbands been injured”. One shifty Arab crewman looking to loot… there’s just way too many variables And even if everything goes perfectly, there’s the second murder where they shoot the woman just before she can tell in broad daylight and conveniently everyone is in their cabins
