Ok so I just finished the first episode of season three of riverdale and I spent the last minute or so just shouting “what the fuck?” over and over. Every time I think it can’t get more insane, I’m proven inCREDIBLY wrong.

the fact that iron lung is still pulling well over $1M a day after being in theaters for a week is insane oh godiplier they will never underestimate you again
The more discussion I see around Iron Lung, the more that tweet rings true.
People complaining that the eldritch elements are “confusing” feels like this:
“I see the food is labeled spicy.
I eat the spicy food.
Then I ask why it’s spicy.”
That’s the genre.
Eldritch horror is supposed to be confusing. It’s built around the idea that there are things so vast, alien, and incomprehensible that the human brain literally cannot process them cleanly. If everything is neatly explained and wrapped up with a bow, then it stops being eldritch horror and just becomes sci-fi with a creepier coat of paint.
What Iron Lung does really well is refuse to over explain itself. It trusts the audience to sit with discomfort and uncertainty. The horror comes from not knowing, from piecing things together. That’s the point.
But the general audience increasingly needs everything to be explainable and spoon-fed to them. If the movie doesn’t pause to spell out exactly what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how they should feel about it, they reject it outright.
It’s like they need a Subway Surfers clip playing in the corner while big flashing text and text-to-speech narrates every plot beat, otherwise the hamster on the wheel in their brain stalls out and dies.
Dear Markiplier,
please make a directors cut or behind the scenes of iron lung with your little camera in the corner reacting to it like a youtube video, that shit would be so funny and i WILL be watching
sincerely,

I felt so validated by this. I knew I wasn’t just forcing the connections I made. Imagine if I did this full time. I might start. At any time. It’s always possible.
Never let your guard down, Scott.
