What fucking gets me about the chimp subplot in nope is that unlike jean jacket, unlike flying saucers or aliens, it’s real. Let me elaborate. I wasn’t scared of jean jacket. I looked at her with wonder. I was awed at her, enraptured by how clever and how cool her concept and design was. I made jokes about her spitting out the blood over the haywood house. The digestion made me wince, but it didn’t scare me. 

Gordy, on the other hand. I couldn’t stand it. I couldn’t look at the screen while it happened. I had to leave the room. I am writing this post right now trying to get that all out because if i don’t I’ll end up having nightmares tonight. Jean jacket isn’t scary to me because she’s not real. Tragedies like the one Jupe experiences are. They have happened before and we continue to repeat them. The system that allowed it to happen is still in place. We see that at the end of the movie, too, the reporters closing in at the entrance. People killed because someone tried to exploit a wild animal and it backfired, ready to be turned into a spectacle. The snl sketch.  This is something devoid of the influence of any alien creature. The chimp attack happened because of humans. It is devoid of any fantastical element. It is a stark reminder that the issues the movie comments on are real. Am i making sense.

idk if we’re talking about nope again but we should because there’s still so much more to unpack, especially about jupe. i’ve been thinking about his name, and how “ jupe “ is a shortened version of “ jupiter “, which is known for having symbolism to do with luck, which is so fucking important. jupe is haunted by luck his whole life. it is luck that allows him to survive the gordy’s home incident, it is luck that keeps the shoe from falling. it is pure luck that jupe toys with until luck is no longer in his favor, until the wait for the shoe to drop is over and he is dead.

there is something so simple yet intricate about the idea of being ‘seen’ in Nope. like i still can’t fully articulate it but it’s just so fascinating to be seen as a spectacle or seen only by your brother when you wanted it to be your father too or seen only by your horses or seen on television or seen as your trauma or seen as a celebrity or seen as a monster or seen as an animal or seen or seen or seen

Idk 'bout you but I think Jean Jacket and Shin Godzilla would be besties

#anyway I love it when directors don't spoon-feed the details but leave them there for you to pick up yourself

Hell yeah! I have an additional thought about your last point, that I don't think will be long, but I'll put under a cut just for spoilers anyway

he did gain enough of Jean Jacket's esteem to give him the best odds of survival, cohabitation and manipulation

YES. And we've seen how the flashbacks to Gordy have foreshadowed and explained the current situation with JJ: A predator pushed to its limits, disrespected, and threatened until it lashes out... But not at everyone, not equally. OJ's rapport, his some mutual respect with JJ, was mirrored in the rapport Jupe had with Gordy.

the part where JJ slurped up the TMZ jerk barely a yard away from [OJ] and Lucky

That was their fistbump.

(And then the Jupe balloon that ultimately killed JJ? That was gunshot, the big balloon "pop" that started it for Gordy and ended it for Jean Jacket.)

OJ and JJ: Why Jean Jacket Let the Haywoods—Especially OJ—Get Away with More Than Anyone Else in “Nope”

I’ve seen Nope twice now. While everyone I saw it with enjoyed it, I heard a few cries of foul when it came to OJ and the others’ improbable good luck with all their near misses interacting with our favorite terrifying gulch-haunting UFO. I call foul back and say plot armor had nothing to do with it. Some luck, yeah, otherwise we’d have no protagonists. But that was hardly all.

“What’s a bad miracle...?”

Tryin’ GPose in style of character posters of Jordan Peele’s NOPE. An incredible movie, I recommend y’all watching it (or at least watch first time reactions on YT, preferably those with nearly an hour duration)

Y’know, speaking of NOPE, I had a crack theory for the film’s ‘antagonist’ that once again involve crossovers with FFXIV but I’ll hold on that as to not spoil their true nature in the film.

the movie of all time 🐎
