there's a kind of sympathetic retelling whose thesis is "they didn't do the thing everyone hates them for" & i find it much less compelling than "they did it but they're still a full person & shifting the narrative lens from the protagonist to the villain makes that clear"

nobody dies aus are fucking boring BUT villains win aus are always good and true no matter how ridiculous. the moment you get the shorter end of the stick narratively speaking everything’s fair game.
Rewatching The Wicker Man (1973), it's really striking to me how much the ritual is for Lord Summerisle's own benefit as much as anything else. In fact, I would argue that, in some sense, the sacrifice is for and to him (as he himself blurs the distinction in Aphrodite's case).
Just as the ritual is meant to appease both Nuada and Avellenau, both gods and men, both Lord Summerisle's hedonistic thirst for life and the people of the island's hunger for both produce and worship (Summerisle the man, the people of Summerisle, and the island of Summerisle itself), so too I think Lord Summerisle's motivation is double: both expediency and love. The film leaves it ambiguous whether he believes or not in what he preaches, and I think he does and does not. As a politician and a zealot, he believes in the way a really good actor has to believe in what he's doing, and he's both. Because he loves the drama of it most of all, I'd say, and the difference between a ritual and a play is so thin.
He loses himself in it! He does, and he looks so thrilled when he's singing and burning Howie. His hair flares out in a corona and he's wearing yellow and his head overlaps with the sun in one shot. The sacrifice is for himself because he's the sun.
Free my woman she did all of it but I don’t care

she's literally me
I want my evil blorbo to experience...
Satisfying comeuppance.
Consequences detached from moral judgement.
Redemption.
Glorious, blazing death under their own terms.
An empty, Pyrrhic victory.
Unambiguous triumph.
I have a theory on how pryce and cutter’s personalities would mirror their chess strategies (which is gonna be relevant in the scenes im about to write) but I also have a theory that this mirrors their respective stance on free will and god (or lack thereof)
wrote this in the tags but behold. chess be upon thee
i dont care if he killed people hes still my babygirl‼️💥💥💥‼️💥‼️💥💥‼️

I think it’s really really nice how of all possible explanations for what cutter and pryce were trying to accomplish, aside from the general revenge-thing and internalized trauma and fear of dying, at the end of the day the seed of it had been with them all their life. i don’t care about any interpretation of their characters that doesn’t take into account the highschool kid looking at the sky and dreaming of other people looking down at him, or the little girl in an orphanage smiling at an old clock running again after decades.
it started with a 16-year-old boy looking up at the sky with something he built and asking “but what if there’s more”. it started with a 10-year-old girl fixing and creating things without the need to, just because she could. devoid of insight, they could have been characters the narrative rooted for.
like generally, I think w359 did a great job at creating two main villains who could have been protagonists with a slight shift of perspective. it’s difficult to realize at first, because we’re knee-deep in their ultimate plan to replace the entirety of the human race with genetically modified clones and. y’know. but with the lack of hindsight. a teenage boy looking up at the stars and a little child fixing a clock, finding each other halfway through. who wouldn’t want to listen to their story
"my fave did nothing wrong" oh yeah well MY fave fucked everything up and she's still my fave so
Honestly, I have no idea how the sunset would look like from their perspective, so there’s Pryce & Cutter looking at a certain red dwarf that slightly resembles the Sun. Consider it a warm-up before I start working on commissions (which, by the way, are still open)
i think more of you need to embrace the fact that a character can be a favorite BECAUSE they are a freakish loathsome hateful black-hearted despicable creature, NOT in spite of it
