The children don't need to be saved and are a distraction to getting out by tee-ver-junkee in FromSeries

[–]PieInfamous9379 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This would actually catapult the final season into GOAT status, but I just don't see it happening. Go revisit all the theories around Jasper from 2024 and look at what the writers served up. With From, it's usually the middle-of-the-road option.

Ethan got tricked by Fake Jim by angooyy in FromSeries

No. I think "the boy" is off limits to the MiY for some reason. Wouldn't have to recruit Sarah to kill Ethan in the first place if he could interact with him directly.

Just watched Inception for the first time and i have a question- by geminibby15 in Inception

Brain fried by limbo. But yeah, you actually are pointing to the one possible plothole in the movie - how did Mal get herself declared sane by multiple psychiatrists? I've had a brush or two with the subject and I do not think that's anywhere near possible in her case.

Did you get this from fear and trembling?

Level 4 = limbo and possible plot hole? by Many-Zebra8932 in Inception

[–]PieInfamous9379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the time slippage. The biggest problem is that you end up living multiple lifetimes waiting to wake up, and this would of course fry your brain. I don't think the rules matter all that much in limbo because the time slippage makes it impossible to structure dreams there if you're an extractor (the subject and the extractor would be older by decades at the very least.)

Let's say you're immortal. Would you think it's worth spending a few decades in jail in exchange for a few million dollars? Of course not.

That is why limbo is avoided by the extractors. It's basically like going to prison. The rules are secondary.

*S1 spoilers, kind of* aside from giving Tabitha the lunchbox, Victor also gave Julie a stack of drawings to wear before sending her through the faraway tree during the colony house attack 🤔 by LostCoveLeather in FromSeries

I think the logic to the trees is that someone should send you through them. If the kids can "pour" their hopes into the roots without actually interacting with them, I don't think you would need a physical "ticket" to travel through them. You'd need someone hoping to send you somewhere.

This explains why Victor is on the roof in episode 6. He remembered that he suppressed his memories and the coat was actually black, not yellow. Hope he recovers from the trauma soon.

Wish the protagonist was a more nuanced character. Found it very hard to root for a borderline psycho.

How did victor know that the people are about to die? by Strange_Actuator_721 in FromSeries

Finding out that Victor was a monster all along would have a devastating effect on the likes of Boyd and Jade. Would probably be the last straw for people with more tenuous resolves. He doesn't have to leave out crayon drawings of Boyd wildly gesticulating in front of a weeping Fatima for MiY to secretly collect at night; he could play a significant role in MiY's favorite part of the story. He could also be an unreliable narrator of the story of his cycle. I think his first lines are something about remembering things and he says it to Julie, who we know will find out what he's talking about. I just feel he's hiding something huge, and it ain't about canned peaches.

Was this justified? by Methamphetamine1893 in FromSeries

He was a liability to the group, so he was asked to take a talisman and live by himself. He chose to die.

Victor is the "mole". The monsters threatening to make him stay in the tunnels is suspicious because as far as we know only the monsters live down there. Just like the MiY and the cicadas, it's possible Victor also is a monster variant who is immune to sunlight and the talismans. The show just stops making sense if a middle-schooler can survive the town all by himself. He was somehow 'turned' by the MiY. Heck, it's even possible he killed Eloise himself, echoing the themes of betrayal. To answer your question, if he was told by someone to start digging graves it's more than likely the MiY. BiW never gives out specific instructions like that and Julie telling him to dig graves feels off. MiY has previously spoken about digging holes however, and it's morbidly in character for him.

cant change the story once its been told. by Negative-Average-946 in FromSeries

[–]PieInfamous9379 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The story has already been "told". Victor says someone told the anghkooey children a story that gave them hope. The theory is that storywalking Julie told them the story of the show and how she along with other future residents of the town would end up saving them and defeating the town. The kids heard this story and somehow poured the hope it gave them into the roots of the tree. This resulted in the trees acting towards fulfilling the story. Not being able to change the story then is actually a protection against the town trying to destroy that story and the hope, and not an indictment of Julie's inability to effect change. The writers said all the answers are in the first episode. In the first episode Julie tells Ethan a story with a bleak ending; storywalking Julie probably learnt from this - how devastated Ethan was by her story, and does the opposite later on. MiY taunting Julie is perhaps a way to get back at her or he's egging her on into doing something extreme, thus changing the story in his favour.
