[@themystifier4328]

I think all the Hatchetfield shows are about someone's worst fears coming true. In TGWDLM, it was Paul's, because he doesn't like musicals and his life became one, and most of his friends were killed or apotheosisized because of it. In Black Friday, it was General McNamara's because he had to face the fact that the country he loves is actually not so great as he watches the world he has sworn to protect fall apart. In The Hatchetfield Ape Man, it was Lucy's fiance's worst fear because he knew what was going on, but she fell in love with someone else, then he died. Plus, she was right all along about there being an Ape Man. And in WatcherWorld, it was Alice's worst fear because she had to deal with her dad, who basically confirmed that he didn't like her and tried to kill her, all while having to sit through something both disturbing and childish instead of being able to prevent Deb cheating on her (and she had to face her fear of heights).

I always thought that 30 million dollars was a bit much for a musical, so I actually looked for the price of a Broadway musical, which I assume that Hidgens would agree to nothing less than Broadway. The average price for a Broadway musical is 8-12 million dollars, and with the pitch he gives, I assume that Workin' Boys would be on the cheaper side. So the question is: WHY DOES HE NEED 4 TIMES THE AMOUNT FOR THIS PLAY!?! WHAT IS HE PLANNING!?!

To add onto this, I think the Hatchetfield musicals and TTO are connected somehow. I forget which song it was since my playlist was on shuffle, but in a TTO song, Craphole sings something about “ring-a-ling-ding” and I haven’t seen every Starkid musical, but I only ever heard Chris Kringle sing those exact words. Also both musicals deal with musical(s) with different endings and stuff like that, idk. Just a little theory of mine.

(SPOILERS) It may sound silly but I think I could write a whole essay on Watcher World specifically when it comes to Alice's relationship to Bill. I usually find these daddy-daughter relationships in genre stuff insufferable; you can feel the mean spirited bullshit of the middle-aged man writing it. The daughters are generally either helpless victims or given heavy handed "respect yo' father spoilt little girl" arcs, often both in the worst circumstances. Here, Alice saves herself as much as her Dad saves her and the reconciliation isn't capped with her being shamed or greatly humbled, but simply throwing her Dad a bone because she knows he deserves it. I kinda love it personally because while the narrative acknowledges Alice's flaws, it doesn't necessarily shame her for them which I appreciate.

Ok I have a crazy theory: What if Ted's younger brother is Ethan? Ted's last name is a spoiler right? so it would make sense if Ethan is his brother because we already know his last name and revealing Ted's last name would give away the fact that are related which could be relevant later on, and they just don't want us to know yet. Bc Cineplex Teen doesn't have a last name so Ted's last name wouldn't be a spoiler in that case (unless of course that is still true and the Ted last name is some other spoiler) Edit: Ooh ooh! ok so unless I heard incorrectly, he said Ted's brothers (plural) so what if Professor Hidgens (if that is his real name) is one of his brothers and that's why they are working together

I don’t think anything after the roller coaster can be held against him because of Blinky, and it shows he really loves Alice that he was able to overcome it.

[@Galfuria_]

@@somnodaur8064 I'm sorry, I don't think it's immature to be upset that you got ripped away from everything you knew by a man who keeps infantilizing you. Add to that, Bill refuses to accept what she wants to do with her life until he uses it to distract her. All "good parent" points earned by that moment are nullified when you realize that he is the reason they're up there. He asks why she doesn't tell him stuff but he belittles what she does tell him. The Alice he has in his head is no longer accurate to how his daughter actually thinks now. Instead of learning who his daughter is now, he tries to force her back to the way she was. This is what happens a lot with homophobic/transphobic parents. Their child isn't the way they want them to be so they think they can just fix it at the expense of the child. I don't think he's malicious, I just think that he needs to be willing to accept that who his daughter dates is not his choice. He should talk to her about what is and isn't a healthy relationship and have an open conversation with her is he really wants to do something. Separating her from that person is just going to make things worse. Then they become star-crossed lovers and it becomes us vs them. This is going to leave Alice with issues with authority if it hasn't already. I know this because I've seen it over and over and over again with my friends parents while living in the suburban midwest.

I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING (warning: Spoilers for Black Friday, TGTDLM, and Watcher World ahead) All the enemies just give someone what they want, in different ways, to get them to join in. The meteor promises social safety or "world peace" in the form of a unifying hive mind. In smaller ways, it promised to bring people together: Charlotte and Sam, Bill and Alice, even Paul and Emma. In fact, Paul's attachment to Emma seems to be what weakens him to the meteor (see the fact that everyone always asks him what he wants, then in Inevitable, he admits that he wants Emma). The Wiggly dolls are a bit more blatant. They promise that love is some sort of monetary transaction, that whatever you pay in, you'll get out. This is shown by the fact that the people who seem the most drawn to these dolls are the people who have the most to lose emotionally, like Tom, a man who lost his wife last Christmas and now wants to make it up for his child. It was also quite appealing to Lex, though only as a transactional tool. She needs the money, but isn't enamored by the doll because she gets all the emotional fulfillment she needs from Ethan and Hannah. Blinky seems to work in similar ways, though, in some ways, the opposite. Blinky promises what you think you want. He gives Alice her phone to give into her fear of Deb leaving her. She wants to have the phone, but it's causing her to spiral. Blinky tries to sell Bill on the notion of some grand act for his daughter in the means of the "test your strength" game prize. Each of these creatures feed off of desire, human greed in whatever forms it takes.
