The things people have come up with to defend the ending of Primal Fear never make sense to me. Like yeah it’s cool that a CSA victim stood up to his abuser and took advantage of a shitty law system to get an easier sentence, but also why did he kill his ex girlfriend who was also a victim of the same abuser??
Plus not to mention he used an already misrepresented disorder just to garner sympathy. Using DID as a sort of scape goat to get himself an easier sentence, like you can’t be upset at people for being upset at that?? Nine times out of ten the people who are mad about the end don’t care that he killed his abuser or that he’s not some “sad innocent boy”, people care about a disorder that’s been driven into the ground so many times.
Like if the movie played out exactly the same yet it didn’t have the DID subplot, people (Myself included) would not be upset.
Also a professional who worked on Primal Fear literally called DID a hoax so take that if you will
What I like/dislike about these 3 + random bonus ig
I consider Orion Pax Optimus' true self because the Matrix changed him so there's that.

so I finished andromache's bio page very early this morning (and, in effect, redid paris' bio), but I'm not completely satisfied with it. I've been playing around with the idea of andromache having the echo and pulling a ysayle by becoming a de facto primal, but with odin instead. basically I have a plot point of the two clashing with each other throughout paris' story but paris doesn't know that they've been fighting their mother up until post-stb
I blame ff16 for this because I haven't been able to work it out thoroughly enough for it to make sense, but andromache being a badass like I always imagined her to be is enough to try and make this happen
all right well what i’ve learned from the rabbit hole i just went down is that trying to understand the echo and the blessing of light is a fools errand
