And you really need to watch it. And if you’re as big a fan of Jodie Foster as I am, you’ve never seen her gayer. The director knew how to let her shine.
something that i think about a lot is that nyad and nya both merged with the sea - not separate parts of the sea, the whole sea, together.
so, when the ninja froze nya in order to de-merge her in crystallised, how would they know that the being they were trying to resurrect was nya? how would they know if a few drops of saltwater belonging to nyad weren’t clinging to nya’s form, and weren’t brought back with nya? how would they know that the being they were seeing was nya, wholly and truly nya, with no influence of the woman who also inhabited the ocean?
no, there’s no way they could’ve known.
and so there’s a chance they could’ve brought back both spirits. nyad and nya controlled the same body (of water) at the same time; why would that change when they got brought back?
when the water of nya’s body returns to flesh, when the staff has absorbed her power, jay runs over to his yang. he looks into the eyes he’s only been able to see in his dreams for a year, and they’re unfamiliar. they’re a mix of nya’s normal grey and a blue too vivid to seem human - a mix of nya and nyad, the two spirits who sacrificed their lives and shared the body of the ocean, and who will continue to bear the sacrifice by sharing their human body instead.
It's midnight's late reminder of
The loss of her, the one I love
My will to quickly end it all
Sat front row in my need to fall
Into the ocean, end it all...
All right. I'm here because… I thought about it, and… you've been my person since we were, like, 30 running around like idiots. You know, we do things together. We do fun shit, boring shit, hard shit. I tried doing my own thing, but it just wasn't the same.
The point is, we're getting old together. You know, we're getting old, and if you die… I wanna be the last person you see.
Don't die. But if you do, I'll be right there with you.
