it’s a pretty well-known phenomenon that you only get a couple seconds with your horror creature fully visible onscreen before it gets “chuckied,” a term coined by yours truly referring to the shift between the first and second acts of child’s play (1988) as the audience gets used to seeing the little chucky puppet moving around and consequently can no longer buy into the film’s serious slasher tone in the absence of the horror of the unknown. the tuunbaq in the terror and the dogomorph in alien 3 (1992) are also famous victims of chuckying—just like how lovecraftian horror usually falls flat on the screen, too much visibility and your scary, amorphous creature will become a very morphous puppet or cgi’d in picture. the easiest way to combat this is of course to keep the creature obscured for as much of the piece as possible; for instance, despite their oppressive presence throughout their respective works, the beast in over the garden wall is shown for less than six frames and the eponymous kaiju of cloverfield (2008) is never properly shown, allowing each to retain their mystery and danger. another route is to simply lean into the campiness of it, like the later child’s play franchise and alien resurrection (1997). in the case of the blob (1958) a mere satirical title sequence song is enough to completely transform a fairly standard creature feature into an enduring masterpiece of hokey fun. the third option to combat chuckying is for the horror creature to constantly transform—the thing (1982), the fly (1986), and aliens (1986) show their creatures in loving detail, but there is always something the audience hasn’t seen yet, something they don’t know to brace themselves for. it’s a fine line to walk, of course, but that’s the nature of the game when you want to turn the concept of the unknown into something knowable enough to bite you

This is awesome. I hold up a finger—he returns the gesture. I fly down to the lab and grab a tape measure. He showed me a unit of time, so I'll show him a unit of length. PROJECT HAIL MARY (2026) directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, adapted from the novel 'Project Hail Mary' by Andy Weir

Truly insane and stupid that Faith wasn't at all interested in learning about Kendra. Truly insane and stupid that Kendra didn't hang over all of season three like an angry ghost, like a phantom limb that Faith is a poor prosthetic for.

With how much of her characterization is defined by being fixated on/competitive with Buffy and with how desperately she clings to slayerhood as a means of defining herself, Faith should have had at least ONE EPISODE dedicated to Thinking About Kendra. She should have wanted to know EVERYTHING, and we could have had GREAT SCENES of her asking questions that Buffy finds invasive and painful.

Buffy should have compared Faith to Kendra often and unfavorably. Giles and Willow too. Faith should have been competing with Kendra just as much as she was competing with Buffy.
