    Everyone thinks the next movie is going to be apocalyptic, but I think the entity passing itself on to so many people might actually be the cause of its undoing. In the first two films, it's been able to keep its existence hidden under the guise of its victims insanity, yet 4 people were still able to discover the chain (Rose, the cop, the inmate who broke the chain, and Morris). When it's discovered that everyone who attended Skye's concert are self-deleting with a smile on their face like Skye had in front of them, the entity won't be able to stay hidden any longer. My theory is that people around the world will band together and find a way to beat it for good. It's too greedy, gluttonous, and thinks it's invincible. Afterall, pride cometh before the fall...

      Also statistically speaking about 1 in 100 people are psychopaths, and wouldn’t be affected by scenes of violence, making it likely someone in the audience was a psychopath. This means there are people who can observe the entity’s behavior and discover new weaknesses

    My main question is:
    Since thousands of people were now exposed, does the entity just have to go one by one? It's just one entity, so it's pretty funny to think about it getting bogged down from tens of thousands of individuals every day, or having to spend essentially a few decades at a 9-5 to get to every person there.
    And also, since multiple people can be witness to and potentially affected by the curse, and tens of thousands were just exposed, this means every human on Earth could be affected by the curse within a few weeks (if we assume the entity is able to go after them all at once).

    • @whitedeath9
      @whitedeath9 Місяць тому +226

      In the first film, the prisoner who survived the curse mentions there have "been other chains in the past" so it could be the case that multiple chains could be spawned from an event like that. Perhaps that's how the entity reproduces.

      Yep literally a viral curse with a 7 day gestation period before it matures and can transmit. The smart move would be to have a Paramount + T.V. miniseries called Smile - The Clear Skye Curse. With Darius her Record Company head launching a Crisis Charity called Clear Skyes to treat those affected at the concert all done on a Better Help style call. We see each Episode those who have been stuck in a que for 6 days finally getting a Clear Skyes Councilor as The Smile Entity completes it's cycle. Like a live stream you get digital distortion seeing the Monstrosity manifest in a variety of different ways showing that there are individual strains of the curse not just one all competing with each other to dominate their influence getting stronger with each mind consumed.

  • @ScottyIsHim
    @ScottyIsHim Місяць тому +218

    I have a theory, but I am sure everyone has already talked about it to death, but here goes:
    I believe that Skye never even made it past the third/fourth day - well at least her mind didn't. I think within plus-minus 48hrs, Skye was already 'gone' and we were just witnessing whatever little hope was left in her subconscious. Things descended rapidly, and another theory I have was that Morris was never real. The minute he walks out the freezer, we never see him ever again, and the first time we are introduced to him as he texts her it wasn't any longer than 2 days (correct me if I am wrong. I will be doing a rewatch). Morris not being real ties back to my first theory of why Skye was gone before we even knew it and we just witnessed hope.
    But why would the Entity conjure up a stranger for wishful hopelessness? Some people actually have an easier time talking to strangers about what they're going through because that stranger doesn't know them - it is a clean slate, and that gave her some bit of hope because unlike those around her, a stranger has no reason or benefit to judge and expect anything of her.

      I honestly believe that when she got back to her apartment after witnessing the suicide that it started because why at the end of the movie she’s fully clothed and in stage . I believe every thing was fake the speech , the bar with Morrison . I highly believe that she was living out her life naturally but wasn’t conscious of it because the entity had a hold on her and no one in the real world Paid her anymore when she was out of it because of the tragic death of her boyfriend so they was like she’d isolated because of that so it was like an excused thing for her . Like her soul was gone and her body was there doing its natural state without a soul. So none of it was real except the suicide part with Lewis and her on stage at then end . That entity had a good budget to give her mind a whole movie so she can only watch . Cuz that was amazing . At least Rose had moments in and out the real world . skye had none .

    I enjoyed the video and you made some solid points, but I was really happy with the movie’s ending. It outdid the first movie’s ending. I also prefer to leave the monster in mystery, but I did really like your idea of how to beat it. Maybe if Sky or Rose actually confronted their pasts then the monster would have less power over them. Rose never spoke about how her mother really died and Sky never confessed her part in her boyfriend’s death either. If they had (regardless of the eyes of the law), would they have essentially beaten the monster?? It’s an idea I would love to see explored.

    @AraiShado Місяць тому +65

    I'm actually happy that we didn't get to know to much of the entity, makes it more scarier that way. Also loved the jump scares, not that cheap jump scares that some movies have where you can hear the jump scare coming because of the music score in the background building up. Or the classic sudden stop of the score and them boom, jump scare. This movie had none of that, sure I could anticipate some of the scares but most of them came through hard and that is hard to do with me at least.
    I also think that Skye was so stressed out to begin with and the pain from her accident plus the type of career she had took it's tool on her mentality quick and when she saw all those choreographers grabbing her in her home and held her down for the smile monster to enter, i think that moment she was already under control of the Smile monster and already lost the fight. So maybe even like 40% of the movie was like a fever dream? I really like that you get to feel confused as well as the character in the movie is. You can relate to Skye in some way.
    Though It is hard to figure out whats true and what it's not true in the movie, Morris character for example is one of those mystic figures that just disappear, maybe a follow up for Smile 3? Just Like start of Smile 3 maybe we get to follow this Morris character after? Would be cool to see what kind of theories he has gathered through the times he was after this "cosmic entity" or something liek that. Smile monster really reminds me of IT as well. IT was also a cosmic entity. Anyway that's my spiel of Smile 2 xD

    stopping your heart to trick the entity actually sounds pretty smart, if people kept diaries or something (like the paintings she finds) with a detailed explanation of how the monster works it could be stopped like that, assuming stopping your heart works, the second way would be to die without anybody ever knowing I guess, pretty terrifying but it is sort of like eliminating the entity forever.

    I've discovered another plot hole: if Gemma and Sky never reconnected and everything from when Sky refused to wear her new costume was just a hallucination from the Smile entity, how did her mother and Gemma interact at 13:39? Also, the entire subplot with the ER nurse was also the Smile entity's doing.

    • @sonicsenryaku6205
      @sonicsenryaku6205 Місяць тому +59

      Gemma’s interaction with Elizabeth at 13:39 is NOT a plot hole; it’s actually a subtle hint used to clue the audience in that something is not right with Gemma. Remember, prior to this scene, Elizabeth was encouraging Skye to get back in touch with Gemma as a way to motivate her to stay in a performance-conducive mindset, meaning if Gemma was actually real, Elizabeth would have had a visible reaction to her the moment she walked into the room; aaaahhhh but she didn’t. And then, if that was too subtle to pick up on (which it is), the film tries to cheekily send another hint your way by having Elizabeth NOT respond to Gemma when the latter says hi to her.
      Now why would Elizabeth just flat out ignore someone who Skye (and presumably herself) haven’t seen in a year? The scene happens so fast that you don’t think about it; but again, during the entirety of it, Elizabeth never once acknowledges Gemma’s existence; and of course she wouldn’t, because she can’t see her. The smile demon on the other hand, can perceive her, and trollingly says hi because it’s an asshole

  • @papaadderall6562
    @papaadderall6562 Місяць тому +2

    Here’s what I’m thinking about the smile entity. Based off of what I know, it functions off of people’s trauma. The trauma needs to be spread, usually through the host unaliving themselves… then having someone watch the host do this… all to repeat the cycle. After all, these films have a subtle theme with suicide and its general effect of not just ending someone’s life but passing on their pain to someone else. However, the main scope of these films and the entity isn’t necessarily about the way these people die but more so about simply spreading trauma by any means. This is proven by the guy in the prison and Joel who did (or tried to) kill someone else while having another person watch. Though I have a feeling that the scope of the third film will dive even deeper into how the entity manipulates one’s (lack of) trauma. I mean Joel was able to just walk past his hallucinations due to his determination to his plan. I’m sure the next movie will show someone handling their trauma, and therefore the entity, better than the last victims. Not everyone is as isolated as rose or Skye. I definitely still expect the next movie to be consisted of mass unalivings of all kinds.

I’m sure it had a way easier time taking out Skye due to her already severely deteriorated mental state.

    Personally I was confused why Fregoli got possessed and not the gangster who saw the cop get run over. They could have still used that gangster if he was just another drug dealer. Since the cop ran into the road, that's technically a suicide just not an intentional one--maybe that's the difference. I don't know, the opening scene gave me more questions than answers but it was still a great watch.
    Edit: Fewer jumpscares definitely would be my only note. I know it's because the character can't ever really be "alone" without having the shit scared out of them because they need to be in a constant state of agitation for the demon to do its thing, but I think a good alternative route to just having Fregoli or Skye herself pop up out of nowhere would be like: watching Entertainment Tonight and the host suddenly starts grinning and agitating Skye, she can't turn off the TV and eventually is forced to break it, which of course shattered glass is a trigger in this movie. OR there could be a picture frame of herself as a child that suddenly is seen doing the smile, and she tosses it across the room before her child self appears next to her. It would still be a jumpscare but it would be more impactful in context and not just "boo!"

      @ ohhh okay that makes sense. I think so much was going on and it had been a while since I saw the first one that I forgot what the rules were exactly. Thank you.

    I feel like we should get a prequel that shows one of the first ever victims

    Maybe that thing should pay me a visit, you know for science, because I've kinda unlearned/forgotten how to laugh, even smiling became a rare thing.
    And now that I think of it, maybe that thing shouldn't pay me a visit, it would probably get bored, even die.

    Bro I love this movie , starting from the first into the second with that intro was fire . I just realized the girl who died at the end of the first one was shown on fire in the second one like wow . Those details were AMAZING

    I’ve never seen the first one, but I really liked Smile 2! Pleasantly surprised
    My favorite movie is The Thing, for reference
