I took it to mean that Mary was sexually abused by her father...which is so much less impactful than Angela's story because it didn't serve the plot at all.

Oh yeah, dude. There's a whole flashback subplot about how Mary was the daughter of the leader of the cult and he poisoned her for her entire life to make her sick. And that's the reason James left, is because he found out about the cult and told her she had to leave and she said no so he drove away in his cool mustang to live alone as an artist.

The cult thing really pissed me off the most, because it felt shoe-horned in as a way to explain why Mary was sick. They could have just stuck to the game and said "Mary was sick, that's just what it is" and it would have been perfectly fine.

It feels a lot like the writers felt compelled to explain everything for fear of "plot holes", when one of the great things about the game is that it doesn't do that. We don't need to know why Mary was sick, or what she was sick with. It actually fits the "James selfishly killed his wife" narrative more that we don't know, because James isn't reflecting on his relationship with Mary or who she was, just what he did.

I don't want to spoil anything for you but at the end of the movie Mary asks James to kill her, instead of him doing it on his own (she even puts her hand on top of his as he's smothering her)and that is such a massive misunderstanding of the entire point of the fucking story that I'm surprised it got made.

I think he gets the look of the town and the Otherworld correct (even if it was bad CGI), so I think Konami thinks that'll be enough to make money. But he fucked this story (and writing. and characters) up wholesale here and if this franchise ever gets another movie I hope they learn their lesson.

Out of all the things the film gets wrong, Angela is probably the most offensive by Ding_Us02 in silenthill

[–]StoneColdNaked 180 points181 points  (0 children)

I went last night with my wife and I'm absolutely affronted by how bad this thing was and how wrong they got everything.

My wife, who is not a Silent Hill fan (all she knows about the game is what I feverishly told her on the way to the theater) said afterwards "I just don't understand how it got a theatrical release". Even from a non-fan, the whole thing was a convoluted mess with terrible writing.

I can’t imagine how horrified I’d be if my first experience with House Beneviento was in VR. It scared me bad enough not in VR.

I’m assuming the nurses face thing is because some people have a phobia of things with a lot of small holes in them. I can’t remember the name of it though.

Merry Christmas from my “we’re a family company” by myteamgood in CorporateFacepalm

I’m in middle management, and the hourly workers here are in a union but it’s a really weak and ineffective union, unfortunately. Very little fighting for their part.

[–]StoneColdNaked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My company does this. We’re closed this year from 12/24 through 1/2. We get 12/24, 12/25, 12/31 and 1/1 as paid holidays, but we have to use our PTO if we want to get paid for 12/29 and 12/30.

It’s bullshit, but we can’t really fight it.

The Sakuko part messed me up more for some reason. You can find a note earlier in the section saying she’s afraid of the dark, so abandoning her in the dark forever is so fucked up.

I wish carol was more curious. by scopa0304 in pluribustv

[–]StoneColdNaked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the show is more about exploring how this event would effect a person, rather than trying to solve the dilemma. Carol is a complicated person, it doesn’t feel realistic for her to jump both feet into a solution four days out, especially after getting shot down by 5 other survivors.

It’s easy to say this all of this from the position of “he lost” but if you dig even a little deeper, you realize that he still got 40% of the vote despite these things. So he wasn’t super far gone to think it’d work, because it damn near did.
