It's actually pretty funny.


It was actually really moronic, and slightly disturbing.


Zarth, the voice of sanity!


Well, I am the Cassiel-slayer, after all.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
But frankly, a fantasy about a woman you're attracted to turning into a bear? So you kill her? Kind of creepy.



And for that I am thankful. The weasel slaying that is.

I think that it is a metaphor for the irrational fear that accompanies desire. Furthermore it is contemporarily placed in the context of an action film and in so doing it acknowledges it's own virtuality. Thus it comes full circle to acknowledging that it is a metaphor and comments about the nature of metaphor not just in stories but in human nature itself when faced with the unknown.

No. I have a thread, anyway. At least I did before I jumped the shark.

Well, yeah, but it's still got a heavily misogynistic subtext.

You probably have the most accurate interpretation. In that case I'll just take credit for my own.

I read within it that when a subject become virtual then the rules may change. I mean, how do you treat a bear like a woman? That would be just as absurd and a confusing use of metaphors.
