THE FLY IS BACK ON STREAMING SERVICES. HAPPY OCTOBER BLOOMERS

I CANNOT stop thinking about Seth and Veronica from The Fly 1986. The whole reason he started drinking and got in the teleporter without checking if it was entirely sterile was because he loved Veronica so much that he couldn't handle even the possibility that she was cheating (and so he started drinking), the reason he snapped was because he realized she was pregnant, he was fused with the machine because he didn't kill Stathis, the way that he died was when she shot him. Love was his undoing and it's gut wrenching. His whole message with the insect politics rant was to say that flies cannot reason or negotiate, that he will end up hurting Veronica, but she's the reason he didn't kill Stathis. He loved her so much that it even overrode the fly's instincts and will to the slightest extent. And then with Veronica, even when she knew he was dangerous, unstable, and losing his mind; even when he was so physically ruined and grotesque and vile, she still stuck with him. She still constantly tried to contact him those 4 months after he lashed out on her. She still hugged him when she knew he could possibly be infectious. She still came to him to tell him she was pregnant even when she was going to abort it and knew that he wouldn't handle it well. She still hesitated to pull the trigger even after he almost fused her with himself and after he ruined Stathis' hand and foot. She could have just turned around and left when his personality began to change and he wouldn't listen to her concerns-- Stathis wouldn't be mangled and the two of them wouldn't be traumatized that way-- but she still cared and she still loved him so much. The two of them are so doomed and tragic and broken.
