From the horror of a parasitic entity possession in Spider-Man 3 to the telepathically controlled microbots of Big Hero 6, the “Black Goo” trope has maintained a chilling grip on modern sci-fi and psychological thrillers. But what if these narrative nightmares are more than just creative fiction?
The Black Goo Trope: Narrative Parallels to Graphene Oxide
By examining the real-world properties of Graphene Oxide and its reaction to specific frequencies, we can uncover a startling parallel between laboratory nanoparticles and the parasitic nature of the Venom symbiote. Whether it’s the ink-stained corridors of Bendy and the Ink Machine or the looming “Smart City” architecture of San Fransokyo, this deep dive explores how these sentient substances are used to signal a potentially bleak, technologically possessed future for humanity.
From Hiro Hamada’s Microbots to Spider-Man’s Symbiote
In Disney’s Big Hero 6, a young scientist named Hiro Hamada creates microbots – nanobots that can be mass-produced and telepathically controlled using a neurolink or “neuralink” of sorts.
The microbots share the same characteristics and chemical composition of Graphene Oxide – a “network structure consisting of carbon atoms and oxygen – containing functionalities attached along the edges and basal place” according to Adsorption through Advanced Nanoscale Materials.
I’ve been thinking about the nanobots – or ‘microbots’ in Big Hero 6 for a few years now. I’ve only watched this film once, as I found it quite off-putting and depressing, (for example, Hiro’s brother dying within the first 5 minutes of the film) showcasing a bleak technological future for humanity.
With the now distant LA ‘wildfires’ within the city, and the plans for a Smart City in LA come 2028, the whole concept of a San Fransokyo has an added layer of creepiness concerning my own personal feelings on such matters.
Not shying away from the point of this article – the nanoparticles in Big Hero 6 can be controlled telepathically, and duplicated for mass production. During the whole pandemic thing, there were rumors going around that graphene oxide was allegedly in the shots being injected into human beings.
And as we now know (or rather, it’s been officially confirmed and we can now talk about it -) the shots’ contents often left the site of the muscle injection and spread throughout the participant’s body.
I recently saw a video of somebody testing graphene oxide’s reaction in a controlled setting to the influence of certain frequencies, and it reminded me of that iconic church scene in the Spider-Man 3 film (2007).
For those of you unfamiliar, it’s the scene where Peter Parker is trying to remove the venom symbiote with the help of the church bell’s vibrational frequency, causing the symbiote to then find a new host when landing on Eddie Brock.
Like the ‘microbots’ in Big Hero 6, the venom symbiote was also most likely a form of graphene oxide.
Frequencies and Control: The Science of the Mind of its Own
According to ScienceDirect, “Graphene oxide can be a semiconductor or insulator, depending on the degree of oxidation, and their electronic and optical properties can be tuned in large scope” – meaning, the graphene oxide is a chemical compound that can quite literally take on a mind of its own – if given the chance along with the properly attuned frequencies.
Why Church Bells and Neuro-Links Target the Same Nanoscale Weakness
(Frequencies such as church bells, or the frequency-enhanced area where Bendy turns into the ink demon in Bendy and the Ink Machine.)
“The controllable optical and electronic properties enable graphene oxide to be used in many fields.” We see the functionality of graphene oxide acting as nanobot particles during Hiro’s demonstration at the beginning of Big Hero 6, and we also see the nanoparticles cluster up together on their own volition to create a suit for Peter Parker and then Eddie Brock in the Spider-Man and Venom films.
Ink, Oil, and Demons: Connecting Bendy to Epic Mickey
Now that I think about it, couldn’t this concept also be applied to the ink demon in Bendy and the Ink Machine? Or even its predecessor, Epic Mickey? Honestly, I knew there was a reason why I never finished that game as a kid, haha.
Is the Ink Demon a Manifestation of Sentient Nanoparticles?
Despite claims that its structure is unclear, graphene oxide is “easily” converted into graphene and through use “in applications such as biosensing, design of inks, drug delivery vectors or bioimaging, graphene oxide presents several advantages because the oxygen groups can bind polymers, nanoparticles or other molecules to tune the properties of new materials according to the needs of the different applications…”.
Have you ever thought about what something like this – graphene oxide – could do to the human body if given the chance? Especially if the “theories” are true that 5G towers and the like are able to release high-pitched frequencies that seek to alter and disrupt the core of our DNA?
Just a thought that I’ve had for a while that I figured I would share. Maybe I will expand on this topic a bit more later on in the future, but for now I just wanted to put it out there.
But, tell me your thoughts – do you believe graphene oxide is the source behind Hiro’s microbots in Big Hero 6 and the venom symbiote in Spider-Man?
