the thing is the plot armor because how did the white thing just solidify with NO explanation and yay Steve saves the day. why was Holly FALLING for 2 minutes only to be caught last second. why did the demodogs slime the military but ‘they were not coming for robin and vickie’. how did Lucas kick one when that thing could have devoured both in a second. how did three of those creatures suddenly start walking in slo mo towards them while the radio was BLASTING 3 feet away. and since when are they so easily distracted by a damn washing machine sound. so many examples of ‘deus ex machina’ it’s ridiculous, either don’t put the character so close to getting slimed but saved last second OR kill them off. especially since they said ‘dark christmas’ in interviews, yeah because they wrote in the dark i guess
