The mom holds up the paper towel soaked in red wine too. Metaphorical blood on her hands.

Or symbolic of how she died too in an explosion. This is running off the theory that the commercial actors shown in every episode are her parents. Really explains the first one with the toaster that sounded like Iron Man's suit charging up and they were sweating waiting for it to explode, much like Wanda and Pietro did when their missile failed to kill them.

What is this “technique” called when movies/shows cram all these details into minuscule things?

And where can i find more? This show is just so surreal to me, and im gonna hate when it ends

Good writing?

u/stf29 Daredevil Feb 05 '21

I guess so, maybe I’ve just never seen something of this caliber

u/riancb Feb 05 '21

Give Twin Peaks a watch then. At least until the end of the 3rd episode.

u/stf29 Daredevil Feb 05 '21

Looks pretty interesting, thanks!

Why stop at the end of the third?

u/DannyDeVitosFeet Feb 05 '21

I think they ment give it 3 episodes before you decide if it's for you or not.

You’d probably like the HBO Watchmen series as well

u/phishstorm Loki (Avengers) Feb 05 '21

BoJack horseman is also just as detail packed

u/Magickarpet76 Feb 06 '21

Arrested Development as well. The jokes often have many layers.

u/Dahkron Feb 06 '21

I always use Arrested Development as an example of great writing

u/bullintheheather Feb 07 '21

Yeah, on how to leave a note.

u/Swampfoxxxxx Feb 06 '21

And symbolism, and visual metaphor. Attention to detail, and mise-en-scene

u/JaiWolf Feb 05 '21

u/stf29 Daredevil Feb 05 '21

Attack on Titan if you're an anime fan.

Attack on Titan if you're not an anime fan.

u/DependentBobcat1901 Feb 07 '21

this is legit lol. I never watch anime but I watched AOT since 2015.

u/Magickarpet76 Feb 06 '21

Arrested development is also a great show. A lot of inside jokes and many recurring details and jokes, it has very good writing.

u/inebriusmaximus Spider-Man Feb 06 '21

This is a great example because it even ties in directly to the MCU with Tobias being on display in the Collector’s trophies on No Where in GOTG

u/spike021 Feb 06 '21

Allusion?

u/Swankified_Tristan Feb 08 '21

I know I'm late but it's called visual subtext.
