I recently (last week) rewatxhed/ watched all the dwk movies for the first time and I thought I'd share some thoughts.
I think we're all aware of how the movies loose all sense of reality after the 3rd one so I'm just not gonna touch on the whole suddenly introducing magic and the parents being completely absent thing
firstly; the movies do a great job at portraying children imo, as someone with 2 younger siblings I was very much reminded of them while watching. the way they overdramatise the littlest stuff and the kind of all or nothing mentality is so so accurate I love it
secondly I am insanely upset about how leon and Vanessa feel like a forced relationship. don't get me wrong I love them and they are cute but they just seem to dislike each other. other than the love letter in part 2 and the kiss in movie 3 they barely have any scenes of them just being teens in love. especially leon seems to outright dislike Vanessa at times. and like. maybe I am biased because j do tend to ship fabi with leon and Vanessa with maxi because they just seem to fit better to me, but leon why are u . so mean to ur gf
this is another thing that irked me, like why do we have leon challenge his character and grow as a person every time (m1: trusting his team, m2 admitting he needs other ppl to play. m3 admitting he's scared and beating that fear. m4. . ?? not cheating on Vanessa with a random woman from the fog), but as soon as the next movie starts, he's set back to point one again. or so, it seems. he does ofc grow over the movies, but like. bro .
I'm also pretty upset that we just fully abandoned fabi after m3. like I am aware he wasn't in m2 because of issues with his voice. (which I find stupid to say the least) but he could have been there after m3 ?? wasn't the whole point of leon and fabis insanely homosexual dialogue that fabi will be Leon's abffiue again??? and then he's just gone ???? what ???? and sure uts mentioned he lives far away but that didn't seem to matter when you drove to him . like you are spending the rest of ur holidays in the woods anyways. why not . invite fabi what. (I just need more fabi and leon interactions)
third and last point. and Ik I said I would just look over the. reality ignoring 4th and 5th part and yk I will for m4 because I honestly only remember half of this fever dream.
anyways. I can't ,and ik this seems to be a controversial opinion here, take darkside serious for the life of me. I was fully on board when we walked through the woods without a shirt on but his entire character is so laughable to me? like Ik this is a kids show but what . .
like he keeps saying they aren't vampires but then addresses himself and the others as vamps so. . whatt
also. the whole holiday thing. worked out great for the other movies. but then we decided leon was gonna be a STONE for TEN MONTHS and just . what. whatt
tldr: these movies are absolutely amazing but you will loose all sense of reality after movie 3. also leon and fabi should kiss idk.
