this is true and, by my lights, Wake Up Dead Man is the first entry in this franchise where you could say Blanc has any sort of character arc. he’s still not the “main character,” but he is a *slightly* different person by the end of the movie. good stuff.
my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Tonight Stekkjastaur, the first of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He likes to sneak into the sheep shed to drink milk from the ewes.
All the children put a shoe in the window for him to put a treat or a little gift in – if they have been good! The bad children get a potato.

This is literally why they deposed Richard II. And Edward II. And
The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"
