#smashy the cache#murder your babies henry selick good lord lol#they needed an exrta 20 minutes or smthn bc that shit was just like#oof#it was a lot of ground to cover for 90 minutes and unfortunately they decided hitting all the story beats was more important than like#making characters with inner worlds. that feel things. and do things based on their feelings. and not Because The Plot Needs Them To#also theres stuff like. fairly early on they introduce that kat went to juvie and im like yeah sure this is a common trope#her trauma and insufficient tools to process it lead to her Acting Out in some way#maybe stole something breaking and entering graffiti maybe arson for some Symbolism idk It Doesnt Matter really bc its shorthand#NO SHE KILLED SOMEONE???#and this information is dropped LITERALLY SECONDS BEFORE SHE 'lets go' AND  'makes her peace with it' LIKE WHAT????#like first of all she INSISTS she is the reason her parents died when it is pretty solidly her dads fault sorry delroy#and its like okay her Angst stems from the survivors guilt and grief and all that and then when she is facing#A LITERAL MANIFESTATION OF HER OWN GUILT AND TRAUMA#the film is like No Actually it stems from all this other shit that weare only showing you JUST NOW MOMENTS BEFORE THIS WILL BE RESOLVED#like idk i feel like a child blaming herself for the death of her parents AND THEN ACCIDENTALLY CAUSING THE DEATH OF ANOTHER CHILD would idk#FEEL A BIT MORE ABOUT THAT than just offhand mentioning right before it doesnt matter anymore#also just EVERYTHING about hell maidens lmao#'hey youre a hell maiden' 'sounds cool i have no further questions im gonna summon demons which is something i can do'#'also i can see the future which is connected to that somehow'#literally what the fuck is a hell maiden and why do they have different powers and why does swearing an oath matter#and more importantly WHAT THE FUCK DID HELL MAIDENS EVEN DO BEFORE THAT GUY MADE THE EVIL TEDDY BEAR???????#like idk its a very Telling Not Showing story but like theyre telling you stuff you just watched happen and not like. necessary context lol#also idk why they bothered w siobhan's 'wait prisons are bad actually :(' arc or the dj dad demon coming to the surface#hes literally chasing wendell and wild down to punish them and then sees a mural and is like 'am i a bad dad :(' and lets them go#why did that need to happen like they coulda just ran away and thats it damn sorry yall had a shitty dad like the story doesnt change#xcept maybe wendell and wild have to do some actual soul searching and penance to get back in kat's good graces#god im gonna stop myself here lol i just keep thinking of other stupid shit they wasted runtime on instead of making a compelling story#anyway lol#i liked the visual design and the hell themepark
