Reflection

Definitely one of the stronger points of this work is the choice to create these accounts on Twitter, rather than simply mocking them up. I made conscious decisions to have these accounts follow/retweet real, external sources, to suggest the interactions these characters might have with the real world.

Kusanagi's account retweeted research on AI, biocomputing, and other subjects that reflect both the original character as well as my retelling version's fascination with identity and the merging of the human and technological.

Batou, who plays a support role in the plot of the original story, also takes a subdued role here, following only Kusanagi and relaying information between her and the supposed rest of the organization.

The Puppet Master account is the most interesting, and follows any account its suggested. While it engages with both Kusanagi and Batou, it also has engagement with the "real" world outside of my retelling. (It even picked up a couple followers!)

The moment of understanding that Kusanagi has as she merges with the Puppet Master are relatively unclear in this retelling, though I might argue that it was somewhat ambiguous in the movie as well. 

I still feel like this work might be a little cheesy, but I think the deeper thematic elements outweigh the cheesy Twitter profile aspect.
