Sure it would be nice if Orpheus didn't turn around, but that isn't actually the triumphant ending of Hadestown. The Orpheus who doesn't turn around has not changed, is still the trusting and naive boy he was at the top of the show, unable to imagine anyone would wrong him on purpose. What we want, what the narrative demands for this to be satisfying, is for Eurydice not to turn around. The jaded, scrappy, all I've ever known is how to hold my own Eurydice, who knows exactly how cruel the world is, and chooses to trust her lover anyways. That would be the hero's journey, that would be the positive character arc, and that would be the happy ending.

But Hadestown is a tragedy. So that doesn't happen. Orpheus is asked to walk out of hell. At the top of the show it never would have occurred to him that Eurydice wasn't right behind him, but that view of the world has not survived the trip to the underworld. His goodness and his gift of seeing beauty are eroded by the abject horror of the world he lives in. It's a tragedy because Eurydice, who has no reason to trust anyone, who should be selfish, who probably wouldn't have been with him at the beginning of the show, runs after him with open arms. And he still turns around.

Is Beta obviously meant to sell toys, cash in on the trend of ‘baby’ things like Baby Yoda and Baby Nut? Yes. Is she adorable as sin and do I want to hug her? Also yes.

Jurassic World: Dominion is cool as fuck and going on my Favoritte Movies list. I don't care that it's flawed, I don't care. All I care about is the fact that it is one of the raddest most awesome movies I've ever seen. It had my favorite aspects in live action film. There were so many cool action scenes, and so many references to the original. I loved the puppeteering and the practical effects as well as the cgi. It just was such a fun movie and I absolutely adore it.

It’s crazy to me how some of y’all are expecting Jurassic World Dominion to be some sort of piece of high art intellectual cinema. It had dinosaurs eating people. Expectations: Met. Shit was a success.
