MisterBibs posted:I expect movies to have coherent endings consistent with the actions and events leading up to it. The extant movie fails to have that on a practical level. The movie is incredibly explicit in the text on two things: a) You can't get rid of the Babadook, there is no resolution possible that would allow her to starve or banish the beast and be rid of it. The Babadook also lacks corporeal form, you can't lock it up. b) The more you deny the Babadook, the stronger he gets, attempting to starve the Babadook would have the opposite effect of what you imply it will, feeding the Babadook weakens him, starving and ignoring the Babadook strengthens him. Like you don't need to read the story as a grief metaphor for it to make sense, the text directly supports the ending with two very clear pieces of information that establish the "rules" of the creature in a scene you apparently skipped or something.
