Life is so bleak
SPOILER ALERT!!!
A YouTube short got me interested in seeing this. Who doesn’t like a payback story. I’m currently reading a manhwa called Mercenary Enrollment aka teenager mercenary (TLDR, a brother gets revenge for his younger sister who he finds out gets bullied in school).
So when I saw that a twin sister gets revenge for her bullied twin I was all in. Like the Mother! Trailer I came in with false expectations. It does seem like it’s a payback story but then the twist is that the bullied girl is all alone and is suffering from multiple personality disorder (so her avenging twin is actually still her). This alone is fine and you think all is well until the very last scene where you find out it’s all a dream. The bullied girl gets no redemption. She dies. This was all a revenge fantasy playing in her head as she was dying.
Talk about a gut punch. Why do bad guys win. It’s bad enough I see that in real life all the time. Let my fiction have happy endings or revenge schemes sated. Anyways, that was quite a mental deflation for me. Just my bias but I was rooting for the victim to come out on top at some capacity. Oh well.
