Warning, spoilers. It is recommended that you watch Black Mirror Season 6 Episode 4 before you continue reading this article.
A Netflix premiere, Black Mirror makes a triumphant return to the platform’s subscribers with its 6th season. These five new episodes have fascinated but also confused internet users who are used to Charlie Brooker’s anthology series mainly dealing with the excesses of new technology.
But some episodes of this new season took completely different directions to explore the fantasy side, such as episode 4, titled “Mazey Day.” The latter follows Bo (Zazi Beetz), a paparazzi from Los Angeles, who searches for Maisie Day (Clara Rugard), a Hollywood star who has disappeared on the set of her new film.
With the help of his colleague Hector (Danny Ramirez), he finds the actor chained in a shed at a rehabilitation center. While Bo wants to help her escape from this strange institution, she notices with horror that Maze Dei is transformed into a werewolf.
The actor was bitten by a monster after a car accident in which he hit someone and has since been trying to control and eliminate the monster inside him, but to no avail.
Black Mirror in the twilight world?
Netflix subscribers were left confused after watching this chapter, which looks nothing like a typical Black Mirror episode, but it made a surprising connection to the hugely popular fantasy franchise.
Some internet users have theorized that this opus would be related to Twilight and that the specific reference was some kind of prophecy about Maze’s disastrous fate.
Translation: “Charlie Brooker is clearly a big fan of Twilight.”
Reason ? The episode “Mazey Day” is the title Supermassive black hole Muse, one of the iconic music of Twilight. The song accompanied the iconic baseball scene in the woods with Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward’s (Robert Pattinson) family in the first installment of the teen vampire saga, adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s literary series.
Of course, the fact that one of the main characters turns into a werewolf fleshes out this ridiculous theory, which reached the ears of Charlie Brooker, the creator of Black Mirror, and Jessica Rhodes, the executive producer.
In an interview with NME, the duo told Twilight this, explaining that it wasn’t intentional, but they weren’t against the idea. “Someone pointed it out to me. I was asked if it was a nod, which it wasn’t at all…”, Charlie Brooker explained.
Producer Jessica Rhodes feels it’s a tribute “unconscious” But that this idea makes them “I love this wink even moreSo Black Mirror isn’t directly related to Twilight, but fans still enjoyed this amazing and not-so-incongruous tie-in.
Black Mirror Season 6 is available on Netflix.
