Multifandom mess

Like do you think they were coming up with ways to get rid of her and some dude was like "ok so what if we invite Peter to this party where the way over goes through this specific road on the off chance that his asshole mom makes him bring Charlie along then we separate them and make her eat JUST the right amount of peanuts to get him desperate enough to drive to a hospital like a maniac but NOT kill her immediatly BUT it's JUST ENOUGH to time her needing to take in more air at THIS specific patch of the road where we will PLACE A TRADEMARKED WOODEN POST so she can stick her head out, and we can make Peter swerve to the right- yes right he won't brake or go left- so Charlie gets french revolutioned" and they just couldnt come up with some other way to make it look like an accident so they just went with it. What if Charlie asked if there were peanuts. What if she just didn't come. What if Peter just decided to floor it and say fuck it to whatever was obstructing him in the road because his little sister was more important. These were some PASSIONATE gamblers and I gotta respect the hustle a bit

Like even from a narrative perspective, Peter was basically not a character for the first half of the film, mostly existing in the background at home and being kind of a stereotype of a teen boy at school, while we actually see interactions between charlie, steve, and annie. the two siblings (i would argue the two identities, one of the awkward daughter seen at home and the happier and more socially adjusted boy at school) then are forced to interact together at a social gathering until, orchestrated by some demonic cult, the teen boy kills the little girl, which at least reads to me like a conservative transphobic parent's idea of their child coming out. Like both of them are literally possessed by a demon who is at least coded in mythology as a transgender man (demon with a feminine face but who is a man and feels discomfort when inhabiting the bodies of women). then, rather than support the surviving child, this mother rejects her son who suddenly is involved in the narrative and becomes a full 3D person in the story in favor of blaming him for the death of her daughter and then goes to extreme lengths to resurrect her daughter, despite it being painful and dangerous for her still alive son. at least to me this reads as the common idea that transphobes have of their children who are transgender having "killed" their child. anyways I thought it was cool. Ari Aster you sick little freak

theres no feminist way to be a misandrist that doesnt bleed into terf ideology.

if youre a misandrist, i dont fucking trust you. you are not an ally to me or to marginalized people.

everyone say thank you to fat nonbinary people

Tbh I'm so busy with my thesis and exam prep that I'm back to not caring that much but wtf was that

the fact that this “get rid of the world and all the characters we care about and start over from scratch without them” is genuinely the “happy ending” of good omens 3 makes me Unhappy.

so y'know. enjoy the very good adaptation of a beloved book. and then we can just treat 2/3 as intriguing high budget fanfiction (which it is because poor old terry's passed anyway)

while i understand what they were trying to do with that, i fully reject it. demon!crowley was actually lovable all on his own, and in fact i hate how much of the finale was like “he was the best angel of them all”

genuinely i would’ve been so fine with a human ending if it was done well. i would’ve taken anything, i would’ve been so happy with a mediocre finale or even a bad one! fucking whatever! but that shit was offensive.
