Like the dialogue in the movie is so good. So is the scene composition. And omg the characters???? I love it so much. I think theres a lot of great symbolism for women in society, how they are blamed, objectified, and how they are idolized as dolls and concepts rather than people.

One big thing that i loved was when Bear believes Nikki is writing a romance when she clarifies that its a love story.

Bear doesnt understand the difference. He believes in "classic romance" where everything is rose tinted pretty and happy and theres only warm moments. The entire journey is pleasant and unproblematic and constantly in motion.

Nikki wants a love story. It doesnt need constant romance or there be no problems. Instead a love story requires tension and problem, but ultimately the couple rises above their flaws and situation to love each other. It also doesnt mean a love story ends happily. The journey is rough and challenges them, but it teaches them to grow into something greater. But a love story doesnt need to have a happy ending. Tragedy can occur.

Bear's world doesnt want to accept any tragedy. Everything must be perfect for him. He needs Nikki, but he also needs her to love him. Its not two states that can coexist. He doesnt care about the end of the journey. If he did, he wouldve prioritized Nikki's wellbeing and stability so there would be a future for the both of them. Instead he tries to tinker with Not Nikki to get her to be Nikki while still being the romance he wants. He only cares for "romance" (i dont want to call his actions romance because they were truly just his obsession) and when Not Nikki fails to fulfill his prefect fantasy by crashing the fuck out, he switches targets. He sees the possible romance in Sarah. He doesnt consider Not Nikki's possible reactions to Sarah(because realistically, she showed a lot of clear signs of being mentally unstable and dangerous). I, as a viewer, immediately knew that Nikki would kill Sarah.

I think imma watch all the marvel movies in their chronological order just so I can watch Thunderbolts* without being confused.

I need to know for research(writing) purposes.

Slept wrong last night so I can't turn my head left or it hurts, and now I feel a Lil sick

So i noticed that the overlords get this really weird drool when they're on a power trip?? Or at least I think it's during power trip moments.

For Alastor it's right after he beats Vox in their sing off in "Stayed Gone". For Vox its right before "Stayed Gone" when he was about to taunt Alastor. For Valentino it's when he was threatening Angel Dust after he stood up to him for Nifty. My theory is that it happens when a powerful sinner gets a power trip moment or something. Its just something interesting I saw throughout the series.

There is also Lucifer during "Hell's Greatest Dad" drools gold. He brags about his heavenly powers and mentions "Who just happens to also be [Charlie's] blood!" and we can see what we can presume to be ichor/blood of Lucifer. I think this still falls under the powertrip category since the entire song is about Alastor and Lucifer fighting about their bond with Charlie.

I'd love to hear anyone's theory on this since there are so many possibilities. My current theory is that its blood that powerful sinners get when they get worked up?

You are the center of their world, their root of delusion. They need you more than they need air. Its to the point where poetic words about your beauty and self cannot do you justice. No they must take justice into their own hands.
