babyduppy replied to your post:the only good things to come out of this ugly...

why does everything have to be nazis…we couldnt we have this Pure Moment to ourselves…we’ve been waiting for this wedding for so long

i know right?!! i was so mad when they announced the wedding was in the crossover and even angrier when it involved nazis. it’s a new marketing scheme and it’s sick. crossovers can be fun imo but i fast forwarded through most of this one. they could have easily just done evil alt versions of the characters without nazi imagery and worked out all the same. instead they gave nazis feelings (overgirl and dark arrow) and tortured jewish, poc, and lgbt characters for absolutely no reason but for drama /:

@babyduppy damn, I had hoped the effects would be good at least & that there might be a couple of good jump scares… I think I might just not be the target demo? like not age/gender/etc. wise, but in terms of my brain lol.

@babyduppy I... definitely totally fucking read that wrong & I thought you were talking about “it” (2017) ahhh

(wrt that, I don’t think I’m the demo bc stephen king is like super... duper... mega ultra middle class kinda academic waspy? like the same sort of horror sub-genre of child-snatchers with a creepy but superficially benign image sort of ~thesis is present in stuff like “coraline” & “hocus pocus” & even the pied piper of hameln, but the execution is very, very different, yk? like the way that narrative is structured is sort of steeped in its cultural backdrop where poverty or the kids’ otherness/outcast status is its own ~horror, and not that that shit isn’t horrific, but in the lives of the real people who live that shit, it’s not the spectacle. he’s not universal by a long shot.)

but yeah, “the mist” (2017) was horrible, only made worse by the fact that the 2007 movie of “the mist” managed to be decent once you got past some of those middle-class waspy stephen king-isms*. I’m... never actually king’s target demo as a non white person from a poor neighborhood in a city (not a town) in 1990s massachusetts, lol, like I’d've had to really make a zip code change & dedicate myself to magical minority™ status for any of that to happen... but in all honesty I think the show was tnt attempting to grab “the walking dead”’s audience in the off-season with overwrought character drama between pretty horrible people in a ridiculous scenario fighting an inhuman horde of monsters representing some kind of Invasive “Other.”

and what’s fucked up is they managed to be worse at it and showcase worse characters + people than a negan-era “twd,” though lbr, its racial track record is about on par. I doubt it’s getting a second season since it’s already migrated to netflix, and good riddance.

* re: king-isms, it’s wild as hell to me on so many levels that white middle class horror so often deals with 1. invasion of some kind + 2. unexpected but realistically moderate-level crises, bc like. I have no electricity at my house & it’s not the first time? my dad & I drove two days nonstop to pick up a dog from houston right after hurricane harvey and made it back home with like a day to spare before a nor’easter pre-gamed irma? like “invasion” narratives are almost always Wack As Fuck when white dudes write them in general, but I’ve also been at publix vs. at save-a-lot during power outages & hurricane supply runs, I’ve been snowed in during blizzards, I’ve been sick during external crises & I’ve had others’ health be an external crisis, I’ve been in cities vs. small towns vs. military cities vs. on-base during different environmental situations, and they all have very very different vibes, and literally none of them are ever what king writes.

it’s what imo a lot of middle class suburbia likes to imagine the dynamic would be like, but frankly it’s bc the people who don’t fit those narratives are invisible to them, and/or bc they’re lying to themselves & each other about the sort of ~sanctity~ of a concept of ~community~ & neighborly sentiment in situations of duress. like the idea that “the ties that bind us as individuals while separating us from others" could take priority over Coming Together In Dire Straits-- or that everyone isn’t invited to “come together” in that sense-- or that, yk, the cult-ish extremist or religious fundamentalist who everyone tolerates bc they aren’t hurting anyone might suddenly, SHOCKER, turn out to be dangerous-- seems to shock the target audience for a lot of king’s work. that the world is shaken up & the establishment or adults or whatever are against you, or don’t believe you, or can’t help you, is presented as a brand-spanking-new horror concept, when in reality, that’s a lot of marginalized folks’ actualy realities from like preschool on up, if they’re lucky. it just feels incredibly trite & maudlin & self-indulgent to chew the scenery with grown-ass people being shocked their peers don’t like them & wouldn’t die for them, especially when I’d rather just look at the monsters anyway.

my point being that the 2007 “the mist” wasn’t perfect, and it feels really “off” bc of this like intended audience needing the same cultural baggage as king to be scared when it’s on his terms, but the movie did enough cool monster shit that I can forgive a lot of its sins for its victories, where the 2017 tv series dropped all the wins and fucking exponentially multiplied the bullshit + horrible implications behind said bullshit on top of sticking to some very king-type vibes with its narrative & character choices.
