why are moms so afraid of Doom turning their kids into devil-worshippers. like, Doom has a pretty strong anti-demon message to it
One of the devs of the original 1993 game is a mormon with that exact position.

Nice
“You kill demons to save the World.”
“That’s devil worship.”
“Lady….you cut in half demons with a chainsaw. It’s not worshipping anything but the chainsaws frankly.”

yesterday my grandma found a penny on the floor and said to my grandpa “there’s that penny again, pa!” and i absolutely lost my mind because i couldn’t shelve the thought of a single panel Far Side comic of two old people on the front porch in the middle of nowhere and a giant penny angrily and inexplicably rolling through the wastes

One thing that was shot through Twin Peaks like dark blood through veins was negative character development. Usually it’s the core cast that gets positive character development while the surrounding cast gets left in the dust or nothing but static. In this show, it was unexpectedly reversed, with the core cast cracking in many different ways and revealing a deeply unsettling inner chaos that gets anything but resolved or fixed as the plot wages on. Twin Peaks is the most positive study of negative character development I have ever experienced, and it really challenges how many veneers a protagonist can exist beneath. How many layers does it take for someone to lose themselves completely?
