the one thing I don't understand about how they wrote jackie's character is the first scene they show us of her. if she's meant to be a doomed character, representing the last grip of society (which i'm usually against writing characters who are meant to only exist as a metaphor) before they can all dive head-first into horror; why does she clearly despise so much of the pretense? why is the first scene of jackie one that shows us she actually doesn't enjoy her role, she doesn't like Jeff.

#yellowjackets #jackie taylor #basically i just would have loved to see a retelling of jackie's character not as 'this character is our old world and we need to kill it'#but as a 3D human being given the chance to be free away from all her expectations #i don't think thats the story yellowjackets wants to tell but BUT #i lowkey wouldn't have minded seeing the message be like being a teenage girl is a horror show no matter if you're in the woods stranded #or in the halls of a high school #and just letting all of them fucking rage instead of being haunted #like i know #i know the show is more about grief and trauma but i think it could v well be about rage too and i want to SEE IT #i also could just selfishly desire an alive!jackie where she becomes increasingly more monstrous because she cares so much about protecting #everyone but the only way to do that in the woods full of predators is to become something worse #and the terrifying thing is she loves what she's becoming #and shauna has to kill her #or she thinks she does
