NEW DEAD POETS SOCIETY HEADCANON!! movie night edition
(set in modern times)
After a few months of hard work(and a little bickering here and there), the two Dead Poets, Meeks, and Pitts finally completed the DIY projector. Neil like the theatre kid and cinephile he is decided it would be fun to incorporate it into the Dead Poets meeting. The guidelines were straightforward: once a week, after the sun had fully dipped below the horizon, the two boys would haul the projector into the cave for their meeting while Another member would be tasked with the important and dangerous mission of selecting a movie. Here's the chaos and hyjinx that occurs!!
- Meeks and Pitts argue with Neil that they should be the first ones to choose the movie to watch because they were the ones that made the projector goddamn it
- Charlie IMMEDIATELY being the first one to volunteer to choose the movie to watch
- Neil forcing Todd to participate of course
- Knox only brings angsty romance films or romcoms
- Charlie would choose a movie that has a sex scene solely because he wants to play careless whisper on the sax and watch everybody bury their face in their hands in unison, the sounds of disappointed groans, "oh god" and sighs being music to his ears
- Cameron would bring a documentary and everyone(mostly Charlie) boos
- the second time, Cameron brings pulp fiction and pauses every few minutes to mansplain
- everyone has a genre they always choose EXCEPT for Charlie
- Mf would bring "Barbie" one day and then make everyone watch "Saw" the next
- meeks would bring the spider-verse movies
- Knox brings "The notebook" and at the end, Charlie, intensely staring at this screen says "I'm not crying" (one blink and the dam will break )

People around me in real life will never understand how much I YEARN for more dead poet's society content. Please dear God in the sky give me MORE. I need MORE of Meeks, I need MORE of Charlie. I need to see more of Welton and the town. I need to have the gaps filed of what happened before the movie.
Please. Anything. Even something about Cameron
JUST GIVE ME SOMETHING
I also need more writer friends who love to create dead poets art
I'm desperately begging atp

Unpopular opinion(?): I don't believe Todd would have killed himself after Neil died... The way he said, "He wouldn't have left us," and mentioned, "His father did it," makes me doubt he would choose the same path Neil did. Now that he understands the gut-wrenching pain of losing someone, I don't think Todd would want anyone else to experience that heartbreak. (I choose to be delusional)
i actually don’t think this is delusional at all. i fully believe none of the poets would have, after experiencing losing neil, make the same choice he did.
like op mentions, todd says "he wouldn't have left us," which stands as solid evidence on its own; todd can't fathom why neil would do this, can't believe it to the point of trying to blame mr. perry. knowing that, it seems pretty clear to me that todd wouldn't then do the same thing to his remaining friends. but i think there's more to it than that.
i remember the first time i saw the movie as i watched todd run towards the pier in the snow, there was this sinking feeling in my stomach. i was thinking “oh god, what’s he going to do, todd can’t die too” and i was so immensely relieved when he didn’t. while it might seem romantic and shakespearean, i don't think that's the direction the movie is trying to lead the audience in at all. and it’s a discredit to todd’s character to say he would do something like that.
this is also why i am Not a fan of those posts that say things like "todd would fully collapse after losing neil, probably never speak up again" because like... did we watch the same ending of the movie? everybody's entitled to their own opinions, but todd stood up on his desk first, and he did so after neil's death. he was devastated, yes, undoubtedly. but he wasn't rendered voiceless.
from my perspective, after neil's death, a sense of mortality probably really hit the poets. as a teenager, you feel a little immortal, a little invincible. neil's death shatters that illusion. in addition to this immense grief, can you imagine what was going through their heads? "holy shit, keating was right. we're actually all going to stop breathing, turn cold, and die," or perhaps even, "how much time do i have left for gathering my rosebuds, for contributing my verse?" i think neil's suicide is a tragic misinterpretation of carpe diem, but it probably really drove the idea into the boys' minds.
so no, i don't think todd would have followed neil's footsteps. i think he would have doubled down on poetry, beauty, romance, love. i think he would have tried to live his life to the fullest, because neil wasn't there to.
you said this so eloquently i just might cry
