I say we challenge ourselves: what other movies does this also apply to? " At no point did I believe anything “bad” would happen to anyone or any dog, except for the very obvious evil blonde, who gets a bloodless death as penance for ignoring sage advice." I'll start - The Parent Trap
ha, great question! i’m particularly interested in “adult” movies that do this (clearly telegraph the enemy and provide cathartic but clean punishment to them) for some reason my first thought is a chaotic favourite: jupiter ascending
The OG Twister movie is one of my favorite films of all time and the balance is why!!! I love how you talk about the balance: Jo is cool, has a backstory, but she’s not just a giant trauma metaphor. Bill has a wild past but we’re more invested in his present. YES. Love this!! I’ve been working on an essay about why it’s a perfect relationship movie & you’ve got my wheels turnin!

Assume the original Star Wars trilogy fits into this theory, yes?
