IRON LUNG: UNRELIABLE NARRATION

Spoilers for Iron Lung!

I just watched it last night but the movie made me realize smth based on public perception.

I think a big part of the reason the "unreliable narrator" trope has gotten big is because it allows people to turn their brains off and not care about what they're actually watching while still feeling smart for it.

Because I seen someone make an "explanation" video on Iron Lung but they chalked most of what happened up to hallucinations from the alcohol he drank. And that just made no sense to me, I couldn't understand how someone could come to that conclusion, until I realized.

They're not thinking at all.

The trope just lets them be lazy.

The trope lets them say "oh, its all in his head. It doesn't MEAN anything."

The trope allows for an audience to disregard nuance and depth and questions by sidestepping them entirely.

I think it would make the Distortion really mad I think of Michael Shelley-Distortion as "The Distortion" but that's Helen.

I'm actually really glad the whole "Hello, Jon" thing became a meme because it just shows how easy it was to entrap Jon in something like that. Because people fall for it literally all the damn time. I've seen people give him flack for not knowing the trigger statement was in there but people fall for the same damn thing ALL THE TIME.

Tricking a polygraph test but instead of holding my breath to slow my heart rate, I psych myself out and keep it at a steady 180.

I'm terrified of getting scammed one day not because I might actually fall for the scam, but because my curiosity just gets the best of me. Like how does this go. What are they gonna use on me

Is this even a scam or am I paranoid? I must know

Question for avatar fans because I've only seen the first movie but what did they do with Jake's body after the transfer? Like did they bury it or smth? That must have been messed up for Jake to see

Also now that I think about it, did they have to kill the old body??? Or did Jake's old body die the instant he got transferred over to his avatar?

Bc the avatar bodies dont die when someone isnt "piloting" it. They just go unconscious, the same thing happening to the human body when Jake was in the machine and got transferred into the body semi-permanently, right?

So like did they have to kill the old body? It definitely would have died on its own from a lack of maintenance after a while but like

What happened there?
