“IT’S IMPLACABLE EVIL COMING TO GET YOU!!!
IT CANNOT BE PLACKED!!! RUN!!
YOU CANNOT RUN, THE EVIL IS IMPLACABLE.
NOT EVEN A 3 FOR 1 PLACK SPECIAL AT HOME DEPOT WOULD PLACK THE IMPLACABLE EVIL!!!
FOR IT IS IMPLACABLE!!!”
So, one of the things I’ve noticed in the three sagas coming to an end this year is the extraordinarily powerful, almost invincible enemy.
In Avengers, it’s Thanos. We shall see… Probably Tuesday or something.
In GoT, it’s the Night King
In Star Wars, it’s the First Order.
I consider this whole trope to be Cormac McCarthy’s fault.
