Thoughts on Yellowjackets Finale/response to common criticisms I’ve been seeing

1. Shauna character assassination

Throughout the show we’ve seen “the wilderness” take over nearly every character, causing them to act sociopathic and cruel, with the strength of its power depending on the resistance and empathy of the specific character. We see Nat consistently resist it, Misty pretty much never resists it because she’s more insecure and manipulative.

Shauna since the beginning has had the LEAST amount of empathy. She was obsessed with Jackie, and either in love with or jealous of her (or both). She was sleeping with her boyfriend and then came home 2 years later and MARRIED him. And from what we’ve seen, we’ve never seen Shauna actually love Jeff, at most she trusts him more than anyone, but thats it.

The first time she lets the wilderness take over, she sends Jackie outside the cabin where she freezes to death. Shauna has very little self reflection over this, as she pretends Jackie is still alive and talks to and plays with her corpse. With this exhibition of her character, it makes sense that in season 3 when they’re arguing over how to avoid or overcome the coming winter, Shauna is taken over by The Wilderness and becomes a cruel leader after Nat kills coach.

In the adult timeline, we see her let the Wilderness back in after the fake reported tries to talk to her, when she kills the bunny and eats it. She kills Adam out of fear when she believes he’s been manipulating her the whole time he’s known her, and premeditated all of their interactions. In season 3 she continues to spiral and shows vividly who she’s been the whole time, specifically when she takes a bite out of Melissa’s arm.

We know she isnt pure evil. She tries to protect Callie and Jeff (even though she lies to them and acts selfishly). She allowed Lotties dad to believe she was Lottie out of sympathy for his situation. Even in the teen timeline she couldve killed Melissa to scare the girls into obedience but she didnt. And this goes into my next point.

2. Why are the other Yellowjackets besties with Shauna instead of hating her?

Its been stated they don’t remember much of the wilderness, but what they do remember is that they ALL did horrible things. As the audience, we see how S3 Shauna is the most cruel, but think about it from one of the girls’ perspectives. They killed. They watched and encouraged murder. They ate their friends. They lied and tricked each other. They pitted people against others. Just like Shaunas monologue at the end, to an extent, the completely devolved into savagery in their worst moments.

And with that, they remember each other most from their high school relationships with each other. They still treat Nat like a loser druggie. They see misty as crazy and weird, and very overbearing. They see Tai as a strongwilled, if sometimes apathetic, logician. They see Van as the cool funny girl. And overall they see Shauna as someone who’s complex and stubborn, but reliable. Hell they even run into Melissa after being attacked by Shauna and still see her as the sad girl who was obsessed/in love with Shauna, even though we immediately see them all pity her after being abused by Shauna in the wilderness.

Their memories of the wilderness are so warped, and so intertwined with their own guilt and shame, that it makes sense that they would simplify each other down to the high school stereotypes they perceived each other as before they were stranded.

3. Mari being the girl in the pit and Shauna being the antler queen was predictable

I actually don’t have much to say about this. New fans might feel this way because they watched the whole show in one go. I watched S1 right before S2 aired, and then waited through the whole writers strike and pushback for S3, and honestly i thought the show would just get cancelled entirely. That ending felt more like a reward for the OG watchers because personally, I didnt care who would end up being who. I just wanted to see how the story would get to that phenomenal introduction to the show. The episode is called “Full Circle” because after 4 years we FINALLY got to see it, and I think the point wasn’t to shock anyone. We knew it was gonna happen. What makes it brilliant is how when we first see that in the Pilot episode, we’re given a clear image of how insane they become in the wilderness. In the finale, they kept it consistent with the pilot, but ADDED CONTEXT to what we know, shifting it into a plot to trick Shauna and get rescued.

4. My thoughts on the future of the show

I’ve watched too many shows that went on for too long, and watched the writing lose quality at an almost vertical slope. HBO shows, specifically, are known for this, but because they can’t ever produce a good final season, and almost ruin the whole show with their final episode. True Blood, GoT, Sopranos, etc. of course non HBO shows are guilty of this, like HIMYM and PLL. As far as I know, YJ isnt renewed for a 4th season, and I won’t be heartbroken if this is the last season. Of course theres a lot of unanswered questions, but I feel like we know enough of the story and the characters that the loose ends are essentially interpretive. I prefer this over a shitty final season that “wraps everything up” with the WORST ending imaginable. 3 seasons is a good length for a show, and this one has been enjoyable and exciting the whole time I’ve watched it. I’d rather it end with that leftover mystery, instead of the writers running it into the ground and ruining the show.

I really dont think they can even do a full fourth season atp. The wilderness timeline was the main hook for most fans, and now that the story is at the point where they get rescued, it wouldnt be the same. I think at most it could be 3-4 long episodes that wraps up the story, but thats it. If they wanted to continue the show, I think maybe a spin off that connects to the show could be interesting. Like maybe a prequel about another group of girls that got stranded in the same forest 10-20 years before the Yellowjackets, that kinda answers whether or not theirs a supernatural force or if it’s just psychosis.

As I near 200,000 followers here at fishingboatproceeds, I just wanted to say Cock is one of my favorite tastes. Not only that, but balls smell amazing. It makes me go a little crazy on it to be honest. Like, I cannot get it far enough down my throat to be satisfied. I’m only satisfied when I feel those intense, powerful, salty, hot pumps of cum down my throat. When I sit back on my heels, look up at you with cum all over my mouth and slobber running down my neck, hair all fucked up and wipe my mouth with the back of my arm and ask you if I did a good job and you cannot even speak because I’ve drained all of your energy out the tip of your dick….. That’s when I’m satisfied.
