* AdaptationNameChange: Mark Heathcliff and Cesar Torres from ''Mandela Catalogue'' are instead introduced as Mark Woodvalley and Cesar Castle.[[note]]Doubles as an example PunnyName as well as a bit of BilingualBonus: A "heath" is a flat shrubbish area, and a cliff is the edge of a tall mountain or hill, so "Woodvalley" is the inverse of "Heathcliff". Meanwhile, "Torres" is the Spanish word for "towers", specifically referring to the towers of a castle. Thus, Cesar "Castle".[[/note]]

''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk4AlxnZOYc The Mandela Magazine]]'' is a webtoon created by Creator/SrPelo which parodies the first season of ''WebVideo/MandelaCatalogue''

The world is overrun by creepy shape-shifting organisms called Alternates, but they aren't particularly interested in [[KillAndReplace killing and replacing people]]. Instead, a fair number of them just want to party. Unfortunately, people still have to put up with their general weirdness.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In ''Mandela Catalogue'', the Alternates are malevolent and wish to kill off humans by driving them to suicide. Here, they just want to throw a party with Mark, with "Gabriel" introducing himself stating as much. Notably, the events of "Overthrone" are skipped, summarized with two shepherds stating that they love Jesus, then being vaporized by Gabriel arriving. It's entirely possible that the events of "Overthrone" outright ''didn't'' happen in this timeline outside of Gabriel's initial appearance.

The bar then disappears, revealing a goofy face. Gabriel then exclaims "To have a party!" in a normal voice before dancing as soft pop music plays in the background.

''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk4AlxnZOYc The Mandela Magazine]]'' is a webtoon created by Creator/SrPelo which parodies the first season of ''WebVideo/MandelaCatalogue''

!! This video contains examples of:

* AdaptationalContextChange: The scene of Cesar's mother yelling "NO!" while being attacked by an Alternate in ''Mandela Catalogue'' is reversed in ''Mandela Magazine'', with the Alternate screaming "NO!" after Cesar's mother tries to turn the light on.
* AdaptationalJerkass: In ''Mandela Catalogue'', Mark is willing to help Cesar with his house's security system as soon as the latter explains the situation. In ''Magazine'', Mark only agrees to help once Cesar starts pleading. He also starts arguing with him once he hears an odd "eeee" sound coming from Cesar's side of the call, accusing him of playing a prank on him and using the excuse of his mother being hospitalized to do so.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In ''Mandela Catalogue'', the Alternates are malevolent and wish to kill off humans by driving them to suicide. Here, they just want to throw a party with Mark, with "Gabriel" introducing himself stating as much. Notably, the events of "Overthrone" are skipped, summarized with two shepherds stating that they love Jesus, then being vaporized by Gabriel arriving. It's entirely possible that the events of "Overthrone" outright ''didn't'' happen in this timeline outside of Gabriel's initial appearance.
* AdaptationNameChange: Mark Heathcliff and Cesar Torres from ''Mandela Catalogue'' are instead introduced as Mark Woodvalley and Cesar Castle.
* AdaptationalWimp: Cesar's Alternate shrugs off Mark's attempt to shoot him in ''Mandela Catalogue''. Not only is one of [[DecompositeCharacter the Alternates derived from him]] shot to death in ''The Mandela Magazine'', but ''all'' the Alternates in Mark's room (including [[{{Satan}} Gabriel]]) are intimidated when Mark holds them at gunpoint and get the hell out of dodge as soon as possible.
* AffectionateParody: ''The Mandela Magazine'' is both a celebration and a satire of the AnalogHorror series ''WebVideo/MandelaCatalogue'', managing to be incredibly eerie at times while maintaining animator Creator/SrPelo's signature usage of BlackComedy.
* BaitAndSwitch: ''Mandela Magazine'' recreates "Gabriel"'s introduction from early in ''Mandela Catalogue'', with him appearing in a dark void with a black bar over his face, whispering "I deceived them..." with a raspy electronic voice. The bar then disappears, revealing a goofy face. Gabriel then exclaims "To have a party!" in a normal voice before dancing as soft pop music plays in the background.
* BrickJoke: The beginning of the video has a safety warning to put on your seat belt because "the sound might annoy your friends". This message is referenced twice later on:
** During the riff on Mark and Cesar's phone call, Cesar begins making an "EEE" sound, annoying Mark, and the two get into an argument over where the noise is coming from.
** At the end of the video, the Alternates sit in a car as a soft beeping sound plays and Mark repeatedly shoots his mom. The beeping is implied to be part of the car's seat belt reminder system, as the Alternates start glaring at Cesar because he's the only one who hasn't put his seat belt on yet and the beeping stops once he buckles up.
* CreatorCameo: Video creator Sr. Pelo appears as both a photograph and an illustration in the section comparing people with their Alternates. The real-life photo of Pelo is used to represent the Alternate.
* CuttingTheKnot: N is a flawed Alternate whose only discernable feature is his eyes. The person confronting him simply [[EyeScream pokes both of his eyes with their fingers]], prompting N to react with understandable confusion and agony.
-->'''N:''' [[CurseCutShort Ah, sh]] - argh - [[KafkaKomedy ah, my eyes, my eyes - why'd you do that, why'd you -]]
* DeadlyEuphemism: {{Subverted}}. Cesar's Alternate tells Mark that it has a present and a surprise for him (implying that it's going to ambush him like in the [[WebVideo/MandelaCatalogue original series]]). He opens the door and the Alternates are there waiting for him...[[BaitAndSwitch to throw him a party]]. Surprise!
* DecompositeCharacter:
** In ''Mandela Catalogue'', the hooded Intruder and the one in the TV are the same character, just with a different appearance. ''Mandela Magazine'' depicts them as two separate Intruders, with the one in the TV implied to actually be ''stuck'' inside of it since the others carry it around.
** Cesar's Alternate is the same one that rushes at the camera after Mark tries to shoot him in ''Mandela Catalogue''. ''Mandela Magazine'' depicts them as separate entities, with the rushing one gaining a tendency to loudly sniff at things.
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: "[[{{Satan}} Gabriel]]", N, two Intruders and Cesar's Alternate all have a party with Mark inside of his house.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Mark scares off a group of [[EldritchAbomination Alternates]] with a gun. While he doesn't shoot any of the main partygoers, he does shoot a random Alternate who keeps running up to and sniffing him.
* DisproportionateRetribution:
** The hooded Intruder gets in Mark's face and screeches at him after he refuses to give him a tip for delivering pizza.
** Mark shoots an Alternate who gets in his personal space and sniffs him weirdly.
* DynamicEntry: The hooded Intruder arrives at Mark's house to deliver pizza by throwing a flashbang grenade at Mark when he opens the door.
* EyePoke: A person being stared at by N in the dark defends themself from the Alternate by poking him in the eyes, the only part of him that's discernable from the shadows. N asks why they did that before attacking them.
* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: A soft beeping plays over a still card stating "uh oh! you shot ur mom, mark!" The beeping persists into the next scene showing several Alternates seated in a car, where their glaring at Cesar for not buckling his seat belt makes it apparent that the sound is part of the car's seat belt reminder system.
* {{Matricide}}: Mark mistakes his mom for [[EldritchAbomination an Alternate]] and shoots her numerous times.
* OverlyLongGag: Partway through their phone conversation, Cesar's Alternate starts making "eeee" sounds at random, much to Mark's confusion. The two arguing about the source of the "eeee"s, along with Mark asking if Cesar is mocking him and the Alternate denying he's responsible while continuing to make the noise, carries on for a full minute.
* SatanIsGood: Satan still takes the form of the Archangel Gabriel and has a huge SlasherSmile on his face like he does in ''Mandela Catalogue'', but "Gabriel" isn't shown to be malevolent in the slightest and just wants to throw a party. When Mark [[{{Matricide}} starts shooting his mom]], he's shown to be genuinely horrified like the rest of the Alternates.
* SelfDeprecation: Sr. Pelo has a CreatorCameo in the Alternate identification section that uses an illustration and a photo of himself. It's the photo showing what he really looks like that gets labeled as an Alternate.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Rather than turning his gun on himself like he does in ''Mandela Catalogue'', Mark uses the weapon to threaten the Alternates that won't leave his house in ''Mandela Magazine''. While the Alternates escape, Mark ends up repeatedly shooting his mother because he mistakes her for one.
* TheStinger: The Website/{{Newgrounds}} version of the video ends with a scene showing [[spoiler:the Alternate that runs up and sniffs people]] incorporated into news footage of [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/selene-delgado Selene Delgado Lopez]] and continuing to do what it does best.
