Midnight Mass Really Went Above And Beyond To Not Only Show True Faith, But Also True Horror.

Midnight Mass really went above and beyond to not only show true faith, but also true horror.

At the end of the day, the creature pruitt brought back wasn't the real monster at all. Bev Keane with her hypocritical idolatry, the mayor with his blind faith, Monsignor Pruitt with his selfish greed and one dimensional thoughts, even the other islanders' blind faith; those were the real monsters in the show

Just as true faith wasn't confined to the halls of a church, true horror wasn't the eildtrich monster at all

Excellent writing to juxtapose the horrors of fanaticism and religious propaganda against an actual monster; then using all these metaphors to show that faith is born from love and community

Truly the cherry on the top!

Some people will be like “We need more well-written complex and morally grey women in media” and then can't even handle HER

No thoughts, just:

Kartein jumping into a fight with a top 10, solely to distract them from Kayden; Kayden putting Kartein's safety above his own🥹

Very interesting that despite the presence of Pluton and 3 other top 10s, the core dialogue and mutual concern for each other revolves around these 2 only

Kartein's thoughts are always in the forefront when it comes to Kayden; both during and post the fight. Interestingly, Kartein is the only one Kayden visibly shows concern for right now, despite Pluton and him being equally at a disadvantage against top 10s

I wonder if I'm reading too much into it, but even so, NOTHING about these two is straight😭

Do you see my vision?

Platonic, problematic soulmates indeed

I love how their friendship is written in a way where literally nobody can ever see them as a couple, just as really sassy best friends

God this show. Mike Flanagan the director that you are

the way midnight mass spent all of seven episodes showing us what faith and fanaticism looks like only to remind us what true faith looks like in the last five minutes of the episode, by showing us the people singing, the sheriff and his son praying at the beach and the monsignor and his love holding their daughter. the way the one who believed that she was the most faithful and righteous while actually being evil was the only one who didn’t make peace with her own death and tried to cling to life with claws and teeth.

they really said faith is not about idolatry, or blind belief, or even a big guy in the sky, it’s about community, and love, and the people who forget that and allow themselves to believe that they’re better than others will find themselves alone in the end.
