Heist! Heist! Heist!

I didn't realise there was going to be a third season of Lupin, but there is and it looks great! :D

Watch on YouTube

I know the last time I talked about this show was to complain about its portrayal of the catacombes and their "inhabitants" but don't let that fool you, I greatly enjoyed it! It's not a direct adaptation of Leblanc's works[1] but it has THE VIBES MAN THE VIBES. ~♪♫Gentleman cambrioleur♫♪~

In the shot of Assane atop a column, he's atop the Colonne Vendôme, which in the middle of Place Vendôme, itself famous for its luxury jewelries and thus: JEWEL HEIST! JEWEL HEIST! JEWEL HEIST!


Also, I find it hilarious that I posted a trailer for the adventures of a vigilante yesterday and today one about the adventures of a thief. ASSANE VS MILES AND SPIDER-GWEN WHEN


[1] Maurice Leblanc's works are in the public domain, which means you can find free ebooks online, forex: Wikisource (FR / EN), Project Gutenberg (various languages) or Bouquineux (FR). I cannot speak for any translations, being a native French speaker. My favourite of the Arsène Lupin books is L'aiguille creuse (The Hollow Needle) but I would recommend starting with Arsène Lupin gentleman-cambrioleur (The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin, Gentleman Burglar) for full effect -- it also includes Arsène Lupin's first meeting with Sherlock Holmes Herlock Sholmès.

Ah! I should check this out! And/or the books. I keep forgetting. So thanks for the reminder. :D

I need to start watching this!

Ooh this sounds fun. I've seen the thumbnail before (and I knew a little about the character before that) but I never dove into it, but all of this and your other posts make it sound really interesting. In all likelihood the fact that I played Assassin's Creed: Unity last year probably has a little to do with that (I've been to Paris, but only very briefly and while extremely sleep-deprived; my most vivid memory is basically running down to Opera - where the coach to my airport terminal was - from Montmartre while pulling/pushing my suitcase like it was a shopping cart).

Ahhh, another show for my "comfort watch" list. Not that Lupin lacks adventures and chases and gun fights, but Omar SY is so fascinating to watch.
