Okay this is gonna be long, but Iāve got a lot of ground to cover so please bear with me. In a real way, this is my series thesis.
Iāve said before, many times now (like a cycle) that for me the most important scene is ep 1 act 1 scene 1. Thereās something There that I have been struggling to see clearly, struggling to articulate, and s2e9 really finally gave me the last pieces for it.
I think that Pit Girl is the point of the entire story. But not in the way that I thought going in. I feel like Iām rambling, so Iām going to try to structure my thoughts.
Imagine youāre a new viewer. You havenāt watched yj start to finish 30 times, youāve never even buzzed before. You turn on the tv and the FIRST thing that happens is you see ā¦ brutality. A half dressed girl chased through the freezing woods, murdered without a chance. They drag her through the snow, string her up, pour her blood on the ground. Hack her into unrecognisable chunks. Sit around in scary outfits and rip at her, with a huge focus on the teeth, as horror music plays. Then, Misty takes off her mask, puts on her glasses, and does the worst possible thing. She smiles. Directly at you.
Again, forget everything you know and go on vibes. Youāre seeing the teens pre-crash, and youāre seeing them in the third timeline, fully formed, with horror motifs and covered in fur. Youād be mistaken for thinking that you were seeing start and end. Except thatā¦ we know, and you know, that Pit Girl is the middle. These monsters somehow came back from this. How? When theyāre so so so far gone?
Hence the show. I know Iām not breaking new ground here, but bear with me. Iām going somewhere.
