@tillyontelly It all falls apart when it’s time to start murdering everybody, doesn’t it. I can just feel the prom/town massacre being a huge cop out from a mile away.
@EsteIla_Couture There are quite a few with very similar feelings on it, especially that the prom isn’t what it should be, but it’s good to know Discussing Film are hateful jerks and to take them with a big pinch of salt!
@limaballslap@Abrakadabruhh_@EsteIla_Couture I’m definitely very interested to see for myself next week. I’m really glad you enjoyed it so much! I DESPERATELY want to love it, a Carrie series has been my dream since I saw what was done with Bates Motel, I’m just very very skeptical after reading even the positive reviews.
@limaballslap@Abrakadabruhh_@EsteIla_Couture That’s reassuring to read from somebody who’s seen it but I see you want season 2 so we’re on different pages about this story clearly. I also don’t see what any respected reviewer would possibly hope to gain from lying when we’ll all be able to hold them to it in a weeks time.
@Abrakadabruhh_@EsteIla_Couture These are the reviews from the lifted embargo today from people who’ve seen the whole thing, and a lot are saying the choices made about the prom etc are going to be very divisive. One says Carrie doesn’t give in to rage and keeps her heart of gold throughout which is worrying.
@EsteIla_Couture I can send you some screenshots of a conversation I’m having with a reviewer on YouTube which are damning I’m afraid to say, lemme know and I’ll DM
@isaiahsofyne@EsteIla_Couture That’s FANTASTIC to know, thank you! It’s what works so well in the book for me - you know something awful is coming and that Carrie is genuinely dangerous. I was worried there’d be no massacre/deaths or it would be significantly toned down but I take it I’m wrong?
@EsteIla_Couture@whatjcbwatched Jesus Christ, I don’t want to be mean but how on earth did you think this was legitimately happening? We’re fucking doomed.
@EsteIla_Couture@DEADLINE Wanna place bets on Carrie surviving? They did that in 2002 as I’m sure you know, I genuinely hate that choice, I think it takes away from how tragic it all is and I think it’s morally ugly to have a mass murderer get to go on and heal while others died. Unless nobody dies lol
@EsteIla_Couture@PrimeVideo Have you seen the interview where they didn’t edit a spoiler question and it mentions that Carrie dances through the streets while it all burns down around her? That is a VERY exciting idea!
@EsteIla_Couture@SaintNicho57806@Beyondreporter1 Doesn’t mean it won’t be good, I think he makes good tv/film, but it’s absolutely going to be “here’s what I think Carrie is/means/should be and you can all suck it up” as per usual. It’s Carrie-ish, not Carrie.
@EsteIla_Couture@SaintNicho57806@Beyondreporter1 Mike has mentioned season 2 being possible (they all die???) that some would say Carrie has The Shine (she doesn’t), that certain characters fates aren’t sealed etc etc so we’re getting another Flanaverse fanfic with Stephen Kings approval stamped all over it, mark my words.
@EsteIla_Couture@SaintNicho57806@Beyondreporter1 Tbh I have pretty negative feelings about Mike being King’s fave pet who gets away with stupid ideas because he’s managed to get King on side. King famously hates most adaptations but Mike has figured out how to play him and gets away with murder so I’m sure it’ll be the Shine
@EsteIla_Couture@SaintNicho57806@Beyondreporter1 I think Mike is going to turn her into a Shine user because it supports HIS vision and HIS universe but that’d be a change for THIS VERSION. In the book the Shine does not exist and King has NEVER updated it to be, so Carrie is still its own part of the universe.
@SaintNicho57806@EsteIla_Couture@Beyondreporter1 Ugh, how many times is this going to get said while this show runs? Carrie DOES NOT have the Shine. She has the TK gene. It’s a physical abnormality in her brain passed down by her father. Even in the Dark Tower Carrie is mentioned as a BOOK. The shine DOES NOT EXIST IN CARRIE.
