oh hey im also gonna steal this from my tacomic rant…do u think taco considered what mic wanted in episode 14? she didnt make the promise bc she KNEW she couldnt keep it if something went wrong. and when microphone is getting all the love and praise, taco is cocky bc her FORST MEETING WAS READING MIC’s diary abt her insecurities on never being listened to or appreciated, OFC TACO WOULD THINK THIS IS WHAT MIC WANTED!! AGHHH
Ok hold onlet me.
THIS IS A REALLY REALLY INTERESITN PERSPECITVE THIS IS REALLY FUNJY TO ME TOO Taco being like fully sincere when she was bragging to mic after she straight murdered test tube LIKE YESSS SHE GETS IT NOW. LIKE OK TO BEHONEST I think taco probably knew. (in and out no violence (mic line) )that she was breakinf mics trust with it but it’s really funny to think she thought mic got over it cuz she was getting attention. Liek seeee a little murder never hurt no one ;D this is great right?? LIKE GOD THATS REALLY REALLY FUNNY…
I guess when the question is did she consider what mic would want it gets really interesting wth this perspective .. like she thinks she knows something mic wouldn’t like she thinks she knows a way to microphones affinity through her methods (violence) in a way microphone wouldn’t dare to consider . like a ‘let me do this and you’ll see how great it is afterwards’ thing. That’s great. but I think I look at it thorug a lens of disconnect from the writing cuz whenever I get too analytical I always think No AE definitely did not think this far. BUR ITS REALLY FHN.. IM HAPOY YOU SHAREDTHIS WITH ME.. I like taco when she’s being sincere in her own weird little ways. It’s the best kind of taco…

not that i never have the urge to (publicly) make fun of people, but i truly find it kind of indefensible.
generally the underlying sentiment of mockery is that someone has done something shameful, so obviously unacceptable that it should never have been shared. and more than that, it's so repulsive and trifling that it isn't even worth acknowledging as a serious concept. you're simply "above" such things.
but what gives you the right to assert that? how are you so certain that your norms are the "correct" ones? why would you disqualify another person from your regard?
i think mockery often comes from a desire to disengage from something that doesn't seem "worth one's time". i think it's important to value our energy and to not try to engage with things that yield little to no reward. but i reject the idea that anyone can actually be "above" anyone or anything else.
shame is a corroding force. it doesn't generate meaningful change, only superficial compliance. and if you treat others with such contempt, then how are you treating yourself? i just don't think it's worth it.

what didnt you like about in a violent nature? 👁
i didn't think it was that bad i just thought it was preddy boring. like the decent execution proved why it was maybe a flawed premise.
slasher where you follow the slasher the whole time: cool idea in theory buttttt
you don't really build a lot of tension because you can see exactly what the killer is doing and where he is at all times (the best scare moments are the 2 times he disappears off screen but one of those times ends up being kind of moot because he never comes back. so the tension didnt pay off)
you dont really have any reason to care about the kills because you've only seen any of these people for one scene at most. so who give a shit. i know a lot of people are really hyped about the kills because theyre 'so intense' but if youve seen like. any previous shudder original or damien leone movie then nothing here is particularly shocking. this is all extremely standard for 2020s gore movies ime (<- guy who saw when evil lurks at AMC with no warning. on the big screen. so probably has a skewed experience)
and that last point about the victims is especially important if youre going to decide to drop the gimmick and switch to following the final girl for the last chunk of the movie (probably honestly was only 10 minutes but it felt like 40). because who is this girl. what character trait does she have. i mean she has a rude boyfriend and she likes necklaces i guess but i dont know a single thing about her and you dont even spend the end of the movie learning about her you just watch her slowly pass out while this random woman drones on about a story that they kind of. failed to engage me with because at that point i had spent so long meditating to the peaceful sounds of the killer walking around that i was fully checked out.
anyway this is all why i wondered if maybe the movie was actually a genius satire on the genre by taking the shallow characters and predictable kills that we associate with schlocky horror to the extreme. but if that was the intent its honestly like 3 decades too late to be meaningful :p
