bill hader wins the prize for being the first person to ever make me spontaneously yell 'oh you're fucking KIDDING me' at the penultimate frame of a tv finale
#barry
#barry spoilers
#(in the tags at least TAG RANT)
#that final bit of text in the mask collector
#barry being buried at ARLINGTON CEMETERY WITH FULL HONORS
#are you fucking KIDDING me
#the actual perfect cherry on top of the shit sundae
#TO BE CLEAR
#I mean this all extremely positively
#the finale was a PERFECT encapsulation of the themes of the show
#the fetishization of the US military leading to barry being absolved of all his sins while cousineau goes to prison
#essentially for the crime of being self centered
#barry - being a marine - appears on the outside to be selfless and self sacrificing
#cousineau is seen as being the greedy selfish one
#when barry is THEE most selfish of them all
#he is ready to die for his son yes but he was only ever *maybe* going to turn himself in once he realized sally and john were truly gone
#and even then I'm not convinced he wouldn't have shot cousineau and his friend to get out of there
#but barry is draped in medals and honors because his narrative could be - and was - transformed into a paragon of american masculinity
#and his son SMILES because he gets to believe his dad was a hero
#BILL HADER I'M CHEWING THE POWER CABLES IN YOUR HOUSE
#and the good side of 'traditional masculinity' still being present!!!!
#it's not all bad!!!!
#barry was ready to kill everyone to protect his family BUT fuches covered john with his body
#barry and fuches let each other go
#fatherhood is a unifying and soothing thing - or it CAN be
#fuches covered in tattoos with a bevvy of terrifying manly criminals giving hank an out through vulnerability
#and hank saying 'no I gave up my whole world to hold on to the role they want me to play'
#'so just kill me and let me die in my man's arms'
#THE THEMES ARE INTRICATE
#anyway none of this is coherent but I needed to scream
