Episode notes
Too Many Plot Threads, Too Little Time
- The movie piles plot threads into 90 minutes and often tells rather than shows key developments.
- David Bell and Other Host find this pacing leaves many conflicts unresolved and underexplored.
Moonstone As A Universal Plot Device
- The moonstone functions as a catch-all lore device tying disparate conflicts together.
- Hosts note it can enable future sequels but also muddies the film's native allegory and stakes.
Humans Are The Real Villains
- The film treats monsters as politicized social groups, making human actors the real antagonists.
- Hosts see this as a deliberate civil-rights allegory that the movie handles inconsistently.
