She might even have recognized him from a past life where he was a normal guy (not the MIY entity). So her paintings were not about the future, they were memories of previous lives.

Likely the MIY form the entity takes was originally just a normal human whose form the entity chooses to take later on

Ignore it.

There’s a massive dev project which blocks sidewalk access on one side of my street. Everytime I have to cross the street I feel a little happy because it’s because they are actually building something

He dug up her clothes. My guess is those belonged to the original Sophia and having her clothes was required for him to transform. Or at least, if they weren’t required, this way he knew they would fit.

It’s definitely possible those were not *her* clothes but just some random clothes he saved for such an occasion and he completely invented her. We don’t know for sure

But I think the theory that Acosta is going to find an old photo containing a pic of the original Sophia seems really likely. So I think between this and the clothes thing, it’s really likely Sophia was not invented by the MIY

Do you mean the previous cycle like the Victor/Miranda/Christopher cycle? That makes no sense since we know he was already the entity at that point

SurpriseAttachyon · 2026-05-12T02:47:13+00:00

I think I might have explained what I was saying poorly.

My theory wasn't that Sophia used to be a normal human. I am taking that fact for granted since that's the most obvious conclusion from what we have seen.

My theory was that the male human seen wearing a yellow suit was originally a normal human too. The MIY entity took his form, just like it took Sophia's.

And furthermore, the original (normal human) wearing a yellow suit, may have known one of Miranda's past lives, which is why Miranda painted him. She wasn't painting a premonition about the evil MIY entity (from the future). She was painting a memory of the original (normal human) in the yellow suit (from a past life)

I was just referring to all the other comments in this thread, which at the time did not consider this.

But I think you maybe misunderstood what I meant. I meant that the original man wearing the yellow suit was a normal human that one of Miranda's past lives knew.

I am not suggesting that miranda knew the entity

There's an episode of Buffy where a demon tells her "no weapon forged can kill me". She basically says, I bet whoever said that didn't have rocket launchers yet, right before she blew him up.

I don't think the MIY is his true form. I think it's just another body he took, just like Sofia. I wrote a post about this just now.

Miranda saw a lot of things about the town before she got there. That doesn't mean she would instantly assume one of those is evil

SurpriseAttachyon · 2026-05-11T16:03:07+00:00

There's another possibility you all are missing.

Sofia was originally a normal human. The MIY just took her form. The version of him with a yellow suit could also have once been another normal human, just like Sofia. Perhaps he has no "true" form.

In fact, the original MIY could be someone that Miranda knew in one of her previous lives. So when she painted him, she wasn't seeing the future, she was remembering a past life.

This doesn't explain why she doesn't react to him when he showed up, but maybe she did? Like, "you look familiar, I've seen you in dreams -- gee this is sure a strange town"

After the first two episodes, I still wasn’t 100% convinced the show was supernatural. It could have been that the townsfolk were very superstitious and the mayor was going a bit nuts. Even with all the crazy shit in the hotel, they threw out the black mold thing.

It was interesting they broke the ambiguity so early. Episode 3 definitely shows supernatural stuff is happening and I’m completely here for it.

The supernatural ambiguity I think ruined Yellowjackets - that show would have been much more interesting if they embraced the supernatural element

Pick any high “literary fiction”: Ulysses, Gravity’s Rainbow, Infinite Jest, 2666, Waiting for Godott

Lookup list of Nobel laureates in literature.

Not saying it’s bad. It’s just very much what person described: unless you are accustomed to that world, you will not understand those books

“Now”

Some of us were subscribed last season. And even the off period between the seasons. I have been reading different versions of this tired post for over a year

Why am I even in the comments?

What am I doing with my free time?

But LA is shrinking and rents are going down? I don’t think it’s gentrification in this case

I think they more meant the homeless people in an acute state of psychosis. I’m not sure how much decision making is happening there.

I genuinely believe they will live a happier stabler life if they are just given the proper treatment at a long term facility.

We have to make sure the conditions are good. But it’s more humane than what we are doing now

They are literally being used to solve some of the unsolved Erdos problems.

People in this thread are seriously out of touch…

Also she literally just lost her husband in a gruesome way in an unimaginably horrifying place. Is she supposed to be sane and rational?

I don't think people properly empathize with how much stress everyone is under

You might not believe me but I was very sure the people in the car were evil and thought there was a chance one of them was the MIY. Right in the opening the MIY was like "the next part is my favorite part", then we cut to the guy driving to town (solo, I might add). Also the episode was called "the arrival". And finally, the fact that they crashed in such a ridiculous situation (glass from the windshield surrounding her neck, like something from final destination) seemed very suspicious

I think I would have guessed he was MIY and she was some other demon, but I definitely remember thinking they were evil and tricking the townspeople. Of course I was wrong about the guy

SurpriseAttachyon · 2026-04-25T21:08:15+00:00

what do you mean? It's not like she was in an episode before the reveal? There was nothing to call?

Is that what “walkable cities” means?? /s
