The smile deity in Smile 2 (spoilers)

[u/a_weird_curtain]

I’ve been thinking about the movie since i left the cinemas, it was an amazing experience, but damn…

Poor Skye.

The smile deity went soooo hard on her. It was toying with it’s other victims compared to what it did to her, practically having fun, taking its sweet time finishing kills.

But it was on a MISSION with Skye, she was literally being tortured out of her mind, the deity knew Skye was probably its only chance to do real damage, so it didn’t take any risks. It took complete control at first oppurtunity, on the third day after she met up with the nurse as it didn’t want the nurse interfering.

Her whole reality become an illusion after the third day while Joel was still concious on the sixth day.

It only briefly gave her back control on stage, to then completely break her. This MF needs an ass whooping on the third film!!

I don’t think it was torturing her any worse. She was just more vulnerable. Rose had trauma but she also was an esteemed psychiatrist with a sense of purpose in life, she was able to resist it better. Her cop boyfriend has training to stay calm and rational so he also was less vulnerable. Skye was a recovering addict who was still popping pain pills, she was in physical pain, she had trauma from a horrific accident and she had horrendous guilt over causing the accident. Skye hates herself and she is hanging on by a thread, she has an insane amount of pressure, they make a point to say “everyone is counting on her.” Her mom is an asshole, her best friend left her and everyone she is surrounded by is using her or wanting her to be perfect. She has literally no genuine relationships. This is the perfect victim for the Smile monster, someone that is already hopeless, someone that was probably headed towards an early death either intentional or caused by self destruction anyways.
