The Midnight Club (Mike Flanagan; Leah Fong, Netflix) • Page 4

Ehh this wasn’t that great anyway.

 

damn this does actually sound really cool

- knew Stanton was Athena, that seemed so obvious to me I'm surprised they didn't just reveal it in s1. I do like that she wasn't sinister though, Langenkamp's performance was so great as a caregiver

- Amesh and Natsuki dying would have shattered my heart into a million pieces. also Longstreet being the literal angel of death is too good I love it

- interesting that he barely mentions Julia and never confirms if the ritual really worked on Sandra or not. I guess maybe they didn't get that far in writing but it's a big thing to leave hanging haha

- Kevin/Ilonka doing the eternal soulmates bit is... not my favourite honestly. same with the sympathetic ghosts. I love how human Flanagan's stories are but at the same time sometimes I just want some evil ass ghosts

- Cherie finally getting to tell a story would've been nice goddamn they did her dirty

 

Those revelations about season two are nice to have at least I guess, but I was scrolling through his tumblr and saw this and had a good laugh.

 

Ilonka having Anya in her story would've been so sweet. A lot of these ideas sound wholesome and heartbreaking, instead of just heartbreaking.
