THEORY: Religious Motifs in HSL

1) Satou: Represents Satan. Much like how it is said that the Devil appears as an angel of light, Satou finds herself in that role. She appears friendly and bubbly when out in public but in actuality, she is a psychotic sociopath. Much like modern takes on a deal with the Devil, Satou makes deals throughout the show's run. The manager? She threatens to expose her livelihood unless she paid her properly for her longer hours. Mitsuboshi? Promises him access to Shio as long as he helped her to (nonlethally) get rid of Asahi.

2) Shio: Represents humanity, or better yet, the untampered purity and potential of humanity. Shio embodies all of the good qualities of humanity (hence the whole "come like children"). However, as a result of Satou's actions, that purity is erased at the end. The Fall of Man, anyone?

3) Auntie: Tempted to consider her being God due to her "I love everyone" mindset XD.

4) Shouko: Jesus. Kind of a no-brainer. She is the only morally upright character in the series. She is kindhearted and takes it upon herself to free Satou of the darkness that was inside her. As the resident sacrificial lamb, Shouko dies, but prior to meeting her end, she performs what is ironically the only selfless act of love in the series by snapping a picture of Shio and sending it to Asahi.

5) Mitsuboshi: While Shio represents the untampered potential and purity of mankind, Mitsuboshi is the opposite. He does not completely embody the absolute depravity of humanity, but he otherwise starts off good before falling due to his traumatic experience with the aforementioned manager.

Concerning Janna Ordonia

Trigger Warning This post contains:

Spoilers for Star vs the Forces of Evil

References to suicide.

Someone needs to give this poor girl a hug. And a therapist.

Janna seems to demonstrate several serious anti-social behaviors I hope get resolved by the end of the series. This includes

An obsession with Marco that also seems strangely passive. Despite actively flirting with with him and stealing jos various personal possessions, Janna never seems to seriously pursue Marco as a potential love interest. And yet she also seems to be bothered by Marco’s interest in other characters, even if she doesn’t quite understand the proper way to express this.

A mile long rebellious streak where she seems to crave attention in the worst way possible. This includes telling two very concerned side characters that she has a dead body in a bag, getting heavily involved in the occult and forces she can’t truly comprehend, and actively seeking out a criminal status through detention.

Deep seated Identity Issues

And most concerning of all, subtle hints of self loathing and suicidal tendencies, including a reckless pursuit of danger

As this troubling line.

Somebody help this poor, troubled child!

Scorch Trials: Dance scene

You know what I liked about that dance scene?? Everything. It's special in a lot of ways and I'm now going to talk about it and what is so interesting.

After Thomas and Brenda get shoved into the "club"(?) I'm guessing whatever Marcus gave them was a psychoactive drug, because Thomas starts hallucinate. I don't know if Brenda does too, she probably does but it's only implied she's drunk.

But then he sees Winston in the crowd, backlit (lit from behind so you can't see his face) and I don't know if everyone caught it, but he says "Thomas". That was gut wrenching, and Thomas looks really freaked out not like "what we left you out to rot in the desert?? why are you still here??" but I saw something on his face that was more akin to "oh my God Winston is that really you?"

Then there's the part where he sees Newt. Now everyone who is anyone has seen this part of the scene, it is in all of the "maze runner crack" and "crack is good" and other videos like that I have seen. He sees Newt in crank for and the look on his face is one of shock. It scared him a lot, the thought of loosing Newt did. Then he trips over and falls on the floor and sees these big "creatures" (im not sure if they're cranks because the cranks are usually unusually thin and while they have vines on them im not sure what that is yet). To which he curls up in what I believe was an anxiety attack or just from nerves and Teresa runs up to him to go get him.

Quite possibly one of my favorite scenes in the whole movie. It was well shot and well lit, and produced very well with amazing acting.
