there isn't even a villain

the villain of annihilation is liberalism. note how the protagonists are all broken women raised under a progressive society. they are all killed by the shimmer, which symbolizes progressive change. observe how the mimick-bear (symbolizing the left and all its mindless parrots) mauls and kills the lesbian (representing how the left has a tendency to eat itself). kane, the representation of the hegemonic male, commits suicide when he sees through it all. ultimately, the only thing that kills liberalism is its own self-destructive quality. by the end of the movie, both natalie and nu-kane are redpilled and must now live in a world that does not understand them. kino.

how the fuck did they get global warming from this

>It would be easy to read an Edenic metaphor into Annihilation: Here is new growth, new creation, a new man and, it turns out, a new woman. Lena doesn’t remember eating while inside the Shimmer; it would appear that one doesn’t need to, that the Shimmer itself sustains life by its very nature.
>Thus there is no scarcity within its opaline borders. You could presumably live a long time there, in some form or another, if you could bear it.
>Which is perhaps the clever remark “Annihilation” makes about our current moment. Bounty and abundance are everywhere around us, and are usually adduced as positive indicators for society. Look at all the things we have, and all the new things being produced and circulated every day — more than we could ever use, more than we could ever want. Media showcases the kind of excess the United States is world-famous for, from the gold-plated interiors of Trump properties to the breezy white opulence of the Kardashians’ West Coast digs. Between the cheap and ever-changing commodities lining store shelves and landfills and the less attainable but still enviable products displayed among the likes of the Rich Kids of Instagram, it’s hard to escape the feeling that our world is overflowing with plenty.
>Yet not all plenitude fosters a sense of peaceful ease. There’s a point at which overproduction and the constant generation of novel things begins to induce a feeling of deep disorder, chaos and unease. Flourishing is a good thing — human flourishing, that is — but disease, too, can flourish. The profuse growth of something can come at the expense of humankind.
This is just nonsense

what white male were there ant white men in this movie ?
Justin Thomas
What was the point of this movie? Is it girl Predator or what?
Elijah Torres
Exactly that's the villain this propaganda is intended to fight
Noah Phillips
The movie is deliberate nonsense. It allows everyone to read into it whatever they want. Thus, articles like these.
And all the threads about it around here.

you can hide behind your ironies but even you can sense the truth behind these words...
you have been warned...
Caleb Perez
It's wrong but it's not nonsense. The writer is making an analogy between overabundance and cancer.

Do normies use the meme arrow on Twitter now?
Jacob Reyes
The meme arrow began in inter-office emails in the 90s.
Then again, Liz Bruenig is in her mid-20s, so she probably got it from perusing Sup Forums.
Hudson Diaz
But yes, I have seen normie friends who only know Sup Forums as "that hacker place on the dark web" use it on twitter.
Dominic Gonzalez
normies only know how to steal... they have never created a damn thing in their life. other than waste
Angel Sanchez
Yes, Sup Forums culture has been stolen. The worst form of cultural appropriation, desu.

this pic needs an update, Sup Forums culture has changed a lot since the 2016 kek/MAGA days

If anything it's cancer.

What an abrupt and pretty much nonsense jump to assuming the meaning is 'excess is bad'.
If anything it's just the garden of eden myth mixed with prometheanism, and the fact the main characters are women mean nothing, the author just seems to like writing female heroes in his ''weird fiction:"
>genre fiction
Ayden Bennett
all writing is a kind of genre you dumb lit poster
Michael Taylor
look how scared he is. he fears our power
Jace Gonzalez
My point is that this is basically sub-par scifi, but this guy is being promoted as a "wierd fiction" writer.
This movie is a 6/10 at best because there is some cool art and designs, it is not at all attributable to any deep-meaning or good writing.
Bentley Thomas
She's indirectly attacking capitalism from a CathBol perspective, as she does in every one of her op-eds.

Brandon Anderson
I know, I read the whole thing, and she is retarded, the film has at no point any reference to capitalism or commercialism at all, and the "metaphor" she pulls out of her ass is extremely weak. Who reads this stuff? Who is paying this dimwit? Does she have nothing better to do?
>attacking capitalism

What does this mean? Anti-Oedipus is the hot book-of-the-moment for the stunted college antifags
Kayden Gonzalez
wow. so it truly is kino
Juan Allen
>hallmark of American society
Unchecked Evolution? Did a Creationist write this?
Ian Jones
Deleuze knew and everyone who understands him knows that capitalism is a completely unstoppable monster, "antifa" and any other political affiliation is a cute sentimentality. The only thing worth allying yourself with is the machine, because you're living inside of it's blueprint and it already won.
