YELLOWJACKETS Season 2 Episode 9, 'Storytelling' Season 3 Episode 10, 'Full Circle'
“The girls looked really ruthless and cruel in the pilot but they seemed so tame and normal in the actual pit girl hunt!!” yeah it’s almost like the pilot was showing us the way the world would perceive their actions as monstrous and unimaginable, but when we found out the context and saw what they had gone through, we understood that it was multilayered and we saw through the idea that they lost their minds and turned evil. It’s almost like nuance is the whole point. It’s almost like they were never evil they were just hungry??
i finally realised the main reason i was so dissatisfied with the final. its because of how tame all the girls were 😭 in the pilot, we see a bunch of teenage girls going feral and ritualistically hunting down their friend, not saying a single world, just screaming and making animal noises. It’s like they aren’t even human anymore, they’ve all seemingly gone completely insane, they strip the body naked, slit her throat, and finally they eat her. wordlessly, they eat their friend, seemingly complicit and with no regrets. Its interesting, And then the final rolls around and its like “hey so they were actually all sane and didn’t want to eat her and were all forced into it by big scaaaary shauna while also planning their escape” and it feels like such a BORING COPOUT 💔💔💔💔💔 for a show thats meant to be about insane cannibals, the writers seem very scared to actually make all their characters fucked up, so they made shauna and lottie their big evil villains and make everything bad that happens their doing, while painting the others as these good sane heroes fighting back against the crazy girls, this is NAWT the crazy cannibals i signed up for✊
i hate how season three is turning it into this whole “shauna is comically evil and just wants to force everybody to stay out there and keep killing each other, and the rest of us are working to placate her and get us home safe” because at no point in the adult tl, particularly in the first two seasons, did that seem remotely like it was the case.
