YELLOWJACKETS SPOILERS

…yk, I’m starting to see a pattern in Yellowjackets with how most of the people who were hunted/killed in the wilderness were POC. Even after the wilderness, their deaths, like Lottie’s and Travis’s were so fucking tragic compared to some of the fair skinned MC’s deaths. And I’m not saying that to excuse the fact and say their deaths weren’t horrible just bc they were light-skinned, cause they all definitely were. Im just saying the pattern is noticeable in who they are more likely to kill off and who’s stories get to matter. Some people in this show were most of the time used as kick off/spark, shock value or helped us see how bad a character actually is. Most of the time, these were POC. The characters who they helped bring to light just happened to be fair-skinned. For example, Coach Martinez, Kristen/Crystal, Lottie, and even Travis. They were used for exactly that. And, I’m not saying light-skinned characters are bad either, they aren’t. It’s just the way they executed it wasn’t great. The writers werent as color conscious as they needed to be. And in addition to diverse character deaths being a tragity more than less, the finale ep left a bad taste in my mouth honestly. Keeping and cutting Mari’s hair basically as a trophy? Stripping, dragging her body, and hanging her by her feet to a tree with no remorse, just to humiliate her one last time. And Ik the hunt was used a “distraction” but the way it was done was so violent and dehumanizing. Yes, morals are out of the question bc it’s the wilderness, but it’s still cruel nonetheless. Javi was practically used as a sacrificial lamb, not even a person fr, he was strung up like a freaking pig. And the way the fandom treats the ethinically diverse characters vs how they treat lighter-skinned characters is crazy to me. Cause the same way Travis was treated for being misogynistic should be the way people should treat Shauna for being a flat out dictator and shitty person.

"There Are Much Worse Games To Play." - katniss everdeen (mocingjay part 2)

idk if it's been talked about before but suzanne collins never misses a BEAT when it came to names, specifically coriolanus snow and dr volumnia gaul. just from their first names alone you can already guess what type of role might play between them (well... if you've read shakespeare's coriolanus that is. i do recommend it btw).

a lot of bits were taken from shakespeare's play for tbosas like the motif with scars / wounds / the body as being a microcosm of the nation, the common people fighting up against the government, coriolanus' hatred of the common people wanting to be "equal" to him, the rebel arc etc etc but i'm soooo so so interested in the fact that dr gaul was named volumnia and coriolanus is coriolanus because in the play, coriolanus' mother's name is volumnia!

volumnia is arguably the only female character in the play that has any depth (i am so sorry virgilia). his mother shapes her son into the warrior he is. she reminds him at every turn that he is nothing more than a weapon to be wielded. in fact, she's the one who gets her son to come back from his "revolt" against rome which ultimately lead to his demise. this parallels tbosas in the same way because dr gaul took coriolanus and molded him into the villain you would see in thg trilogy. she brought him back from d12 and then brought about the end of his humanity (a death, so to speak—at the end of the book he said something similar to this to try to save himself from lucy gray's suspicions but he was right because he did kill a part of himself to be where he is)! coriolanus snow's mother is present but off-page. her ghost haunts him, comforts him, but the 'mother' figure is the ever-present, all-knowing dr gaul.

UGH! like with just their names you could map out where they end up at the end of the story and that's literally insane. like the caliber of writing is literally next to none fr
