There doesn’t appear to be any indication that this movie is about kids killing their friend to appease Slenderman, so I don’t know why your analogy is any better.  

Slenderman wasn’t created in any way different from every other spooky legend. The only difference is that he was created more recently.

Then you knew a lot of drug dealers.

7 is generous. That’s some weak-ass side-eye.

You asked “what happens” as though there was some mystery. I’m just pointing out that it’s abundantly clear what happens, because it has already happened for most of human history.

Such as?

Probably the same thing that happened in those situations 20 years ago, when most people didn’t carry cell phones.

Yes. A Jason-inspired murder wouldn’t have killed that franchise any more than the “Satanic Panic” killed metal music. You’d have a few loud pearl-clutchers, and the rest of us would roll our eyes and go on about our usual business.

With as many people as legally smoke and carry in Seattle, the dogs would be overwhelmed with false positives all day long anyway. There’d be no way for the TSA to practically enforce even if they wanted to.

Not to mention attracting minority voters who are unfairly targeted by the current drug enforcement policy. Black men are currently locked up at a rate almost 4 times that of white folks, despite being a smaller portion of the population and not using weed at a rate significantly higher than white people.

If kids out there in the 80's had enacted brutal killings or grisly attempted killings to appease Freddy Krueger, or Jason Voorhies...those films would not have kept getting made.

There’s no argument to be had here. This movie isn’t about his daughter’s situation. The Slenderman is a concept that exists separate of what his daughter did.

So what, if your brat had tried to kill someone to appease Dracula you’d be saying we can’t make any more vampire movies?

someone that pretends to read comics

You forgot to make a very important distinction between those two games. Skyrim was a fun adventure. ME:A was a boring slog through a single-player MMO.

Eh, the light “rising to meet” the dark doesn’t necessarily refer to Rey alone. I’m pretty sure the kid force-grabbing the broom at the end was supposed to reflect that the Force is awakening across the galaxy, not just in a few major players.

If you’re blocking Evan, you’re fucking crazy. He’s the best writer the Univision/Gawkerverse has going for it.

You’re grasping at straws again, Isha. There is literally nothing wrong with what Hanks said. He’s under no obligation to speak about other people’s actions, good or bad. He’s allowed to go to work and do his job and not have to have an opinion on whatever news story is going on at the time.

Oh yeah? It’s been a while since I looked. I’ll have to check again when I get home, thanks.

See that’s the thing though: I don’t think there are other plans on the horizon. TLJ made it abundantly clear that they’re writing these movies one at a time as they go, and there really isn’t any overarching plan for the narrative. Each writer is doing their own movie with what they’ve given, and then passing it…
