watching the last episode of midnight mass right before church on a sunday was perhaps not my smartest idea…
3. 3 nickels mike. this is getting out of hand
If i had a nickel for every time i cried my way through the last episode of a mike flannigan series, i would have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened two times
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!
