    I love how Boy’s obsession with the red dress also represents Joel’s obsession with Aimee. Notice that, only when Joel really lets go of his fascination with Aimee does Boy also appear to save him, likely leaving the dress behind.

      The opening narration did say that the military managed to kill a vast majority of the larger mutants, so im guessing that large reptiles like Crocodiles, Komodo Dragons and Snakes were all killed pretty quickly. But even so, im guessing those bigger mutants would've eaten other large mutants to survive, not only that Crocs and Alligators are really good and conserving energy and going long periods without food. Some can even go whole years without eating. And snakes have really slow digestion, so could be that some just ate a lot fo the larger mutants and are spending years digesting them before they move again

  • @ReeKii

    what's really really great here is the fact that that "love" they were trying to emphasized here is not just on a romantic sense. sure it seemed that way at first, but by the end? that love applies to everyone around Joel who had helped him through the journey. actually for me, it never felt like it was meant for romance, and that's so much better. specially when they put aside their wants in favor of doing what's more important things for that time. that's maturity, and that's real life. I also loved how everyone else around Joel were giving him realistic advices and perspective on life, both admiring his will yet still keeping his senses intact. heck, even Mavis did that. haha.
    and how badass it is to finally give us an apocalypse with a reliable best dog that DIDN'T die?! hell yeah!

      @@canid2088 Luke's life does return to 'normalcy' when the Empire is destroyed, but he returns with the 'Elixir' of refound Jedi Knowledge he will use to add to the normal world. it's also said that the return can still allude to future journeys or a future duty, just that the arc of that specific journey is complete and the return is made. using the Hobbits in LoTR you could say the same for basically all of them having future journeys. in the books they face the final Ordeal which arguably is Saruman taking over the Shire and then all 4 return to the 'normal world' of their lives in the Shire, but with the newfound knowledge of the world, objects they earned and such (Frodo's Sting and Mithril, Merry and the Horn of Rohan etc etc) and that tale is complete. however, the adventures of these hobbits nor their Fellowship friends are not fully over.
      Frodo - Leaves with the Elves for the Undying Lands and later Sam joins him there
      Sam - also leaves on another adventure which is joining Frodo once more
      Merry and Pippin - both leave to be with Eomer as he is near dying and later both are buried with honours, Merry in Rohan and Pippin in Gondor
      Gimli and Legolas - Journey together for many years and establish a strong bond between the peoples. Gimli founds a new Dwarf Kingdom in the caves behind Helms Deep and Legolas later takes him with him to the Undying Lands, the only Dwarf to ever go.
      Bilbo - his future visits to the Elves and leaving with Frodo is his leaving on another journey fittingly described by him for the Heroes Journey of ''im quite ready for another adventure''
      its a long block but just to point out the Heroes' Journey does not mean the end of any other journey for the character, new trials and tasks may face them, might only be forced to face them BECAUSE they have faced their past journey and must use that knowledge to help once more.

    I finally saw this and it really surprised me. It had a great message and the tone and world building really made it feel like a throwback to an 80's kids movie, in fact that's how I'd sum up this film, a fun throwback to that period. It actually earned the PG-13 rating with the balance of light hearted humor and very emotional and tense moments. Plus the wacky monster designs and the use of practical effects in places was really nice to see for a film made today, sure they still used CGI but where they could have a monster be practical they had it be practical, that's more than can be said for a lot of big studio films. I could've totally seen some of them as stop motion, or Jim Henson puppets or even maybe Stan Winston animatronics if this were made back in the 80's.

      I’ve been trying to get his attention for months, that is such an underrated movie. I wish he notices and does it soon, honestly it’s my favourite from 2020.

    Joel being honest to with Aimee over the radio was my favourite expectation subversion of the whole film. I absolutely despise the whole "lying to impress" trope in YAF so to see Joel actually be honest with the girl he's interested in made him an instantly likeable protagonist for me.

    The brilliance of this film is that it's a slick updating of the fairy-tale quest with all of the archetypes
    1) It has the young hero who sets off on a quest
    2) The hero is often the 'youngest' son or daughter. They are overlooked by the other 'warriors' in the family/village
    3) The characters he meets along the way are the classic x3 characters. A companion, the teacher, and the hag/ old woman. These characters 1) test his character to see if he's humble, kind & there fore worthy, 2) teach him how to be a 'champion'/'warrior 3) act as an oracle or guide
    4) He receives a gift , a 'magical object' to help him defeat the 'dragon'.
    5) He finishes his his quest a changed person, he has grown, but remains humble so he becomes & worthy leader.
    6) He saves his people
    7) He gets the girl
    Classic fairly tale that faithfully follows the structure of the stories to produce a satisfying tale.

    They better make a franchise from this because it has so much potential

    Dude thank you so much for bringing this film to my attention! Unfortunately due to living in the UK I had to bend the rules to watch it but as soon as I am able to pay to watch I certainly will because I want to support the team who made this and hopefully a franchise that could spawn from it.
    This gave me a much needed pick me up after this last year and I think it would be great if this got a theatrical re-release once everything is back to normal.
    Boy is best boi!

    I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. One thing I thought was really great about it was the creature effects. Before watching it, I wondered how it was able to score an Oscar nomination for Visual Effects, when the trailer just looked like all CG. Seeing the movie, not only was there a good number of practical effects thrown in, but all the CG monsters had a weight to them you don't see in a lot of movies. You really feel them in the environments and the actors are all so great that you never think they're staring at a Green screen.
    Brian Duffield wrote this movie, and he's one of my favorite up-and-coming screenwriters. You should check out Spontanteous, his directorial debut.
