Yes. They haven't. They just keep spouting off "Demon" this and that. And you're saying that "beware, evil lies behind the face of a child" proves that they saw the Dark One up and about the streets? Doesn't really... especially since they only bothered mentioning that when Rose was about to go into the hospital ward... where the girl they burned 30 years ago and described IN THE VERY SAME MANNER still lay.JRamirez35 wrote:But you're claiming taht they *never* mention Dark Alessa. When presented with direct quotes saying they do, you pass it off as speculation. Make up your mind already.Which, is just as ambiguous as you could get and still be applicable to the girl they remembered burning 30 years ago.
All that PROVED is that that was how she was describing the bastard child of Dahlia. You're extending it.So? All that proves is that she knows that the entity controlling the town is identical to Alessa.Cristabella said the same thing ("do not be deceived by the guise of innocence before you!") about Young Alessa while she was roasting on the spit.
And an O. M. G. to you too...Oh. My. God. Do you actually read or just make stuff up as you go?And evidence that it was the Bedridden Alessa who strung up the miner? First of all, it's pure speculation (PH is equally capable of doing it) and Second, I thought you were insisting she was immobile in her ward while the Dark One did the dirty work? The Janitor, well, duh. Alessa was molested when she was little.
1.) I specifically stated it was Dark Alessa, not Alessa. I'll try to make sure I bold things you might not pay attention to next time.
2.) Please give even one iota of proof found anywhere in the movie that PH is in any way, shape, or form associated with barbed wire. For that matter, give any proof that any creature except Dark Alessa and Alessa uses barbed wire. Any proof at all. Until then, the fact remains that the only creatures seen using barbed wire are Alessa and Dark Alessa, meaning that it's very likely that Dark Alessa personally attacked the miner.
3.) The janitor was killed after Alessa was burned, so the same argument still stands.
1) You came across as asserting that the Dark One and Bedridden Alessa is essentially inseparable because it was Bedridden Alessa who was actually SHOWN (as opposed to just IMPLIED) using the barbed wire. Don't bother highlighting in bold text, just as long as you word your sentences as implicitly as you actually meant is enough, thank you very much.
2) The barbed wire is right there on top of the fence where the miner was strung up. You thought Alessa or her consort would be arsed to show up in person before a mere MINER because ONLY SHE can use barbed wire, even if it's just there in coils? As with every other chain-link fence in the area? Even if PH is adequate in the height department and has the necessary strength to hold one person up by the neck and rip off their skin? You're right... I don't know how I could have ever gotten that idea.
3) Well, I don't know about you but the Janitor seemed pretty lively to me when he was coming out of the cubicle. But then again we're really blank on the subject of whether he's dead or not, so let's consider this a blind alley, shall we?
I actually bothered to explain this again in detail when I replied to Aura, just before I replied to this particular post of yours. Just read it there if you INDEED bother to read previous postsAre you assuming I am so stupid that I can't read any posts except those directed at me? I've read your posts and Aura's posts, and none of that changes the fact that what you said makes no sense . Though, at this point, that seems to be a common feature in your posts.It obviously made sense to Aura because he didn't bring it up again. It didn't make sense to you because it wasn't directed in response to you. Because in the first place, I didn't write it in a context relevant to anything you've written before.
Funny too, see, I never actually saw in the movie how the Dark One personallykilled someone before (or ANYONE, for that matter). Unless you have a version of the movie that was not publicly released... your attempt at taking the high hand is pointless.Funny, I used evidence seen in the movie (as opposed to stuff not seen in the movie, as you prefer to use) to prove why Dark Alessa was responsible for them.You're just as equally pure, unsourced and unevidencially speculative about who did in the eviscerated Miner and the Janitor.
I did "read the freaking post before I replied". WHICH IS WHY I INCLUDED ROSE IN THE LIST. I mentioned the Red Nurse was doing what the Dark One cannot because we never see the Dark One monitor Bedridden Alessa's life-support system. Did she? Or am I missing another screenshot that magically appeared outside the movie? A manifestation could TALK, I'm perfectly aware of that.*facepalm* Seriously? Please read the freaking post before you reply!if the Dark One can interact with Alessa, why the heck not with her Doppelganger? And I happened to include Rose in the List of People Who See the Dark One, didn't I? But tell me, did the Dark One ever appear to Dahlia? To Cristabella?
You stated that the Red Nurse could do everything Dark Alessa was doing, I refuted that and pointed out that she could not speak for Alessa, or lead Rose around the town, or carry Sharon to the orphanage. I never said that Dark Alessa can't interact with Alessa, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
What is known is that Christabella explicitly states that the entity that controls the town "hides behind the face of a child" and that Dahlia refers to Dark Alessa as "the dark one", implying that she is fully aware that one dark entity is controlling the entire town, something she would only be aware of had she seen Dark Alessa.
And there's also strong implication that PH did the Miner, and absolutely no proof elsewhere that he can't either.The difference is, there's strong implication that they can, and absolutely no proof anywhere that they can't.Answer: Up to Speculation
"refuted" by the movie? Your movie refutation was purely based on the assumption that "Alessa nd the Dark One can do it, so maybe they did". Guess what? "PH can do it too, so maybe he did."There's a No Super Ridiculous Speculation Backed Up By Absolutely No Evidence And Actually Contradicted By Common Sense and Simple Logic clause. You seem to have broken it several times. I'm amused that you consider speculation which involves real facts from the film on the same level as speculation that is based on nothing and which is refuted by the movie itself.Again, you accuse me of speculating... and then retort with a speculation of your own. Is there a Special Non-Applicability Clause you're entitled to with regards to accusing people of things? 'Cause you did that too in saying I'm the one taking Christophe Gans' words out of context.
Because I'm the only one who happened to point out that he made a major error while ACTUALLY talking about the gameYes, it does. In fact, that same quote has been posted in MULTIPLE threads all up and down this board for over a year now, and you are the ONLY person who has ever claimed it's misrepresented.Ambiguous? How about you PERSISTENTLY misrepresenting a quote to "prove" your assertion, when it clearly doesn't?
Still emphatically pointing out here that Jodelle played both Young Alessa and Sharon, y'know.You mean, quotes like saying he hired Jodelle to play "multiple interpretations of a same character" while he conveniently makes no mention of an outside entity, or Gans stating that the whole point of the movie is that each person has the ability to become god or the devil? Who would "the devil" be in the movie? It's quite obvious. Or even Jodelle outright stating that Dark Alessa is "the bad part of Alessa" and telling Conan O'Brien that she plays "different sides of one character", when that wouldn't be true if the adult Alessa was Alessa's dark side.Because, unless you've got other DIRECT quotes from Gans besides the one I keep repeating and highlighting in bold text and italics, you've got a problem with the structure of your theory, ma'am... especially if it's built solely on that quote.
For the Nth Time again, Gans was, by his own words, TALKING ABOUT THE GAME. AND HE MADE A BOO-BOO. Because if he wasn't, he just called his OWN work "an amazing story" with the same cheeky asshole arrogance of Uwe Boll.Gans saying that she's living in three bodies certainly does. It's also notable that he directly refers to the dark side as "devil". In no way is adult Alessa meant to play a "devil" character in the movie, but Dark Alessa is.Okay... you're losing me on this one. You basically say that Gans saying Alessa split into good and bad sides DISCREDITS my theory but I, once again say, NEVER DENIED THAT. BECAUSE I SAID SHE SPLIT INTO BEDRIDDEN ALESSA AND SHARON.
Except that you still keep forgetting that he was obviously talking about the game at that moment because he mentioned SH2 in conjunction about keeping parallels with the concept of multiple personas in the series. Don't you think he would have said "THE MOVIE IS OPERATING ON THE PREMISE OF..." if he is, in fact, thinking about the movie at the moment???Except there is no game in existence that tells that story. However, the movie shows an adult woman who has two children who are identical to her, one of whom is referred to as "what's left of her goodness" and the other who calls herself "the dark part of Alessa". It is not that hard to understand that he mixed the plots up, as it's really freaking obvious .And you keep saying he said THE MOVIE was about a character that "lives in the bodies of an adult and two children" but you keep yourself blinded to THE FACT THAT HE INSERTED THE WORDS "THE FIRST GAME TELLS THE AMAZING STORY" BEFORE THAT PHRASE.
So you think. Still doesn't change Gans' words.I'M the one that's using common sense. You're the one who keeps screaming that Gans is talking about a videogame that doesn't exist/a character that is never mentioned in the article.What's so hard about using common sense in forcing yourself to read that? You're just wasting sweat hammering a round peg into a square hole when there's a round hole in front of you.
Because Official Names on the site aren't really indicative of anything about the background of the characters. Take the Official Name of the Dark Nurses for instance. Are they the dark halves of the nurses' souls then? Or is it more logical to assume that they got that name because A)they LOOK LIKE friggin' nurses and B)Adding the title "Dark" to something makes it sound cooler?It's called The Red Pyramid in the games, genius, that's why it has the same freaking name in the film. And saying that still does not explain why he named her "Dark Alessa" when, according to you, she isn't Alessa at all. Why not just call her "The Reaper"? She refers to herself by that name in the film, and people would understand that. But that's not her name, instead her name directly says she's a dark version of Alessa.As obvious as the movie entity being officially called "THE Red Pyramid" but we still keep referring to him as Pyramid Head? Oh come on... this doesn't even require waste of thought.
And as I said before, if he was talking about the film's plot at the moment, he wouldn't have used the words "...in the first game", "...an amazing story...", and "... just as with SH2..." in a single description.As I stated about fifteen times now, he was talking about the movie and got the two plots mixed up. It's totally understandable when you think about the fact that he was completely immersed in making the movie at the time and would have spent every day for over a year living and breathing the movie's storyline.Well then, did he get SH1's plot CORRECTLY by saying it's "an amazing storyof an adult woman who also exists as two little girls, good and bad doubles representing who she was when she was hurt"?
^Applause for the total pretense of not getting what I meant. Admirable, but the ranting costs you Maturity Points.Um, how do you know that? Is this another of your Super Ridiculous Speculation Backed Up By No Evidence and Actually Contradicted By Common Sense and Simple Logic moments? He could easily have used Samara from The Ring as inspiration, or Alma Wade from FEAR, or Reagan from The Exorcist. Nah... There's NO way he could have possibly used a source YOU don't think he did!And of course, he didn't see Memory of Alessa in SH3 BEFORE he came up with the idea of a grungy doppelganger as the character design for the Dark One. 'Cos he's so original he doesn't need inspirations.
Changing my story? wasn't I continuing on from explaining why I said Gans not mentioning an external entity was him being tactful in spoiling the plot in that interview?That's not what you were saying. Stop changing your story. You were claiming that not mentioning Christabella was somehow related to not mentioning an external entity. As I pointed out, that makes no sense because he was talking about the actress who plays Dark Alessa and why he hired her, but never once mentions he wanted her to play an entity external from AlessaSuggesting that he wasn't wasting the interview spoon-feeding the audience the whole story was a nonsensical point?
And unless you're able to telepathically tap into Cristophe Gans' mind and her mind and see that they are in fact on the same page about the plot, you're not being as foolproof as you purport to be. I'm sticking to a quantifiable qualifier like age-level comprehension, kthnx.Did you work on the set of the movie? Did you play the role of Dark Alessa in the film? Do you know Jodelle personally? Until you can say 'yes' to any of these, you're just ignoring facts and evidence.I stated that I don't give her much credence for understanding the entirety of the plot.
I'll save you the bother of speculation. I believe. And I choose to do so.As I pointed out, you are the ONLY one who thinks that. Your lack of common sense defies all understanding. I seriously can't tell if you're just trolling for fun or if you really believe some of the stuff you're claiming.And as for missing the point of why I'm saying you're purposefully misrepresenting Gans' quote as stubbornly as a medieval Flat Earth Perspective fanatic, I facepalm in exasperation.
You did, however, aver that "we should have an FAQ here to avoid repeating questions" on the topic of Alessa's schism. Which, if indeed posted, would have killed off all further exploration because it'd have your stamp of Being Absolute By the Power of Gans' Quote.Um, I never asked Vixx if I could. I wouldn't expect to write one without her consent and, since I never asked her for it, I wouldn't expect it at this point. And what would your FAQ have? A bunch of garbage that makes no sense and contradicts itself? Cause that's pretty much the gist of every single post you've made in this thread.It's fortunate you never got to write an FAQ for the movie in the Sticky Board... you'd be passing off an erroneous interpretation as Absolute Truth.
And I am against posting of ANY FAQ WHATSOEVER because so far, you kept failing to address that your theory was supported by a single quote with problematic content. AND the fact that the Director hasn't come out yet and confirmed EXPLICITLY the true facts about Alessa's portrayal in the film with an official movie guide, as opposed to fragmented interviews.
So, label me as being merely a trolling dickhead if you want, I haven't been swayed one bit and will no longer bother replying to this discussion further and I see that you won't be swayed anyway... but until the day that happens, your stipulations still stand as purely personal interpretation even if many agree with you.
You can, however, expect a public apology from me if Gans or a second movie conclusively proves me wrong.
