This is a blog dedicated to Sam Emerson, Edgar Frog and Alan Frog of “The Lost Boys”, A.K.A The Awesome Monster Bashers. Just a fun blog to place aesthetics, headcanons and anything that is reminiscent of them. I hope you enjoy it. * Main Blog * * AO3 *
My hot take of the day is that although Max is the mastermind of what happened in The Lost Boys, he isn’t some abusive figure who manipulates, abuses and brainwashes the boys like the fandom thinks he is and that the boys are just innocent pawns who don’t know any better and are forced to partake in his plan. I think people came to that conclusion just because he told them they’re not allowed in the store and was mean about it but people fail to realize that
1. The boys bring unwanted attention and Max’s entire thing is that he wants to be perceived as a normal person and not have his cover blown
2. If you were a parent and your bad ass kids who constantly cause trouble came to your job you’d tell them to leave too
My main point is that The Boys are assholes, Max is an asshole, they’re all assholes and it’s fine. You don’t have to turn the boys into brainless little abused puppets who are being mind controlled, abused and manipulated by Max to try to justify what they did. Like I’m pretty sure when they weren’t ordered by Max to kill all those people they killed before meeting the Emersons, like the security guard or when David wanted Star to kill Michael (before it was known that she was the son of the woman Max wanted to be their mother), or Michael’s hazing ritual in general.
Like no one’s going to fault you for loving them as the assholes that they are. You don’t have to turn them into “uwu poor wittle babies” , it’s okay to love them as assholes.
The reason that Edgar continues to wear the headband and keeps the weird voice well into adulthood is because the childish nature of those things comforts him, after the summer of '87 his life has consisted of pure survival and it is known for humans to revert to childlike things as a form of self soothing, Edgar just misses the days when it was just him and Alan reading comics and chasing after surf nazis
This lost boys post is NOT SEQUEL ACCURATE!! Just so yk.
I wish we got to see more of the Frog brother's relationship in the first movie. Honestly the Frog family in general. Like ik that we get some in the third movie or whatever (idk I've never seen it) but it'd be interesting to see them as kids more.
Photos of them being brothers
Idk why I posted this, it's just none of my friends have seen the movie so I have nobody to talk to about it.
I think about Alan holding his stake like its a gun a lot.
Okay but it's so cute that he has their canteen around his neck because Edgar was carrying Laddie and couldn't wear it cross-body, they really are the brothers ever
What if, after the events of The Lost Boys, Lucy eventually starts dating again but every guy she goes out with end up being some sort of supernatural?
The nice man from city council she had coffee with? Werewolf
The account who asked her to dinner? Ghoul
That handsome musician she met on the Boardwalk? Another fucking vampire
She tries so hard to find a normal human man but somehow she’s become a monster magnet and it frustrates her to no end
rip sam who at some point in his life is going to be willed grandpa emerson's entire taxidermy collection, which he doesn't want or know what to do with but feels too bad to give it away
