[hard-times-paramore]

Simon, after he photographs the fish in the tunnel, says: just pretend like I'm not even here. If you see someone out there, looking for Simon... tell them I'm still alive.

Then later, when talking to the Speaker, he says: I never told you my name.

And she says: yes, you did.

More Iron Lung details

"you sent me down here to die, and you don't even know my name?" was probably one of my favorite line deliveries in the whole movie.

that and when he was begging the voice to keep talking to him because he was certain he was about to die. like good shit good fucking shit

[wokibug]

my favorite part of Iron Lung (2026) was when the convict escaped relatively unscathed and got to have a nice hot shower at the end!

(open for commissions btw :0)

simon chugging isopropyl alcohol while blasting himself full of radiation

[coolestguyonearth]

something I fucking LOVE about the movie is that while simon is constantly apologizing for hurting people (flashing the camera, filament station, hitting the console and "hurting" the ship) we find out that he was such a killer people called him "the butcher" and that doesn't get confronted. It doesn't need to. This movie isn't about that.

We don't know for sure what he did or didn't do, or why he did it, or even the extent of how, but that doesn't MATTER because nobody deserves to be subjected to what he was. None of them did. Nobody deserves this and the narrative throws that at you over and over again. Even Ava, in the end, tells Simon that this isn't a punishment. If she could save him, she would, because she grows to recognize his humanity. Even though it's too late. Even though he was doomed the second they put him on that ship and she knew it.

But he's the kind of person to apologize for hurting even inanimate things, just as much as he's the kind of person to kill other people, just as much as he's the kind of person to save what he can and hope it means something. Idk I just really liked that. I liked it a lot

NEW MERCH DROPPED 📢📢‼️

spoiler version below:

[oasisofgalaxies]

My captain told me her convicts kept disappearing in the blood ocean so I asked how many convicts she has and she said she just goes to the prison and gets a new convict afterwards so I said it sounds like she’s just feeding convicts to the blood ocean and then she started crying.

[sajdd]

im also obsessed with the interpretation of the blood ocean not being inherently evil or malevolent, in fact, it starts off rather loving. or at least, what it perceives to be loving. it wants simon to become part of it. it could've absorbed the iron lung and mutated it so long ago - we saw how quickly things went to shit in the final act. but its slow, always there in the corner for simon to be constantly aware of it, like a friend letting you know theyre always in your corner. it keeps the oxygen supply going despite the fact it should've run out days ago. it throws him into the cave. it talks to him, tries to entice him to join in anyway it can. come see the truth, it could save you, it has the answers you've been looking for. if that doesn't work, maybe guilt tripping is the answer, reflect on filament station, simon. "i see you". an acknowledgement. simon runs out of tape so the blood mutates to hold the photograph button for him. but the more defiant simon becomes, the more focused on his own survival he is, the angrier the ocean becomes. the creature couldve swallowed him so many times. clearly the radiation isn't actually a threat to it, we see it being blasted so many times in the end, but it continues its chase after him once it kills ava. the creature backing off in the caves after the photograph was a conscious decision. it couldve lashed out right then and there, but it backed off. "hey, im not a threat, im just watching, im right here for when you're ready".

just like eden, just like the COI, the ocean tries to force simon into a life he never really wanted. because he never seems to get a choice.

i just can't stop thinking about an ocean that thinks itself benevolent, when really, its just as cruel as the rest of humanity. or maybe, its humanity that is as cruel as nature. or is it a God? does it even matter?
