Review # 1 was written on 2019-01-13 00:00:00 Wayne Calvert ::Castle In The Sky's Characters:: Dola Captain Dola is woman who is hard on the outside, but quite soft at heart. In the beginning of the film, she was labeled as one of the bad guys; she invaded a passenger air ship, she fired at people, and she led her crew on a violent chase after Pazu and Sheeta on the railroad tracks. However, she really wasn't that bad a person, just a person who was temporarily blinded by the vision of riches. When she saw the sincerity in Pazu's eyes as he begged to be allowed to go to the fortress so that he can save Sheeta, she let him. If anyone asked her, she would say she only brought him along because he was beneficial to the mission, but in all sincere truth, she did it because she wanted to help. Her love for Pazu and Sheeta was also shown when she refused to leave Laputa until the last possible minute, so that they can at least try to save the twosome. Captain Dola is a strong-willed woman. She leads her entire crew, and they follow her every command. (Partly because they respect her, but also because they are afraid of her). The one person who isn't afraid of her is her engineer, with whom she has been a friend for a long time. They even play chess together sometimes. Captain Dola has three sons, and they are all part of her crew. They are not nearly as smart or brave as she is, but sometimes DNA need a time to develop, so maybe they will develop those qualities later. In the end of the film Captain Dola's ship was destroyed. However, this does not mean her adventures are over, because she and her crew were able to get some valuables from Laputa. So who knows? Maybe they will use the valuables to start new lives, lives free of crime. Or, they will invest the money in a new air-ship, and go on many more adventures. *** Mooska Mooska, like Sheeta, is a descendent of the Laputians who once lived in the castle of the sky. He joined the government as a means of using their resources, while secretly planning his own agenda. He scoffed when the soldiers celebrated their discovery of the treasures; he did not care about the gold or the jewels or diamonds, because he knew none of them could even remotely represent what Laputa was worth. He had made it his life's quest to search for Laputa, so he can give himself the "rightful" place on the throne. He knew having control of Laputa would mean having control over the world, because Laputa possessed the technology to destroy everything on Earth. Mooska is ruthless and does not care about anyone or himself. As soon as he found what he was looking for, he killed his comrades because they were no longer needed. As a test to prove the power of Laputa, he killed thousands of soldiers and destroyed a part of Earth with a weapon that had the power of a nuclear device. Mooska is the villain of all villains. He is cruel, heartless, ruthless, and selfish. He feels no guilt, nor even a glimmer of remorse, as he consciously commits destruction and determinate lives. There really is no hope for him, because he can never change. He died in the end, when Sheeta and Pazu activated the destruction spell of Laputa.

I liked the art, but am still getting used to reading manga. If I was more attached to this story I likely would've enjoyed this more. Overall this is a quick read and if you're a fan of the Ghibli movie I would recommend it.
