Poor Bastards of Cinema: Brightburn (2019)

I haven't talked about Slipknot Superman in a bit.

In my haste to move on from Brightburn, I made the mistake of ignoring its contribution to Poor Bastards of Cinema.

In the Film, we have a Sheriff and Deputy investigating the actions of the murders teen.

As things come to a head (no SPOILER if you've seen any promotion), the Police are called to the House.

Our 'hero' violently murders the Sheriff in a blur (also not a SPOILER as this shot was in EVERY TRAILER), leaving the Deputy behind.

She decides to wander around looking for, um, I don't know what.

You know he's outside, so...the point is...

Mom hides while the Deputy is attacked in a way that is both over-the-top, way-too-violent and a little bit silly.

He basically bounces her up and down like one of those Super Balls.  He just does it off-screen, since they can't afford the effects for it.

So yeah, she's dead.  Very.

Just a reminder- she's done NOTHING in this Film, other than appear once or twice with the Sheriff.  He's killed instantly.  She's beaten and tortured.

The moral: sometimes it pays to take a Sick Day.  She could have been watching This Is Us instead of, you know, violent death.

Next time, a random death from a recent Quick Review.  It serves little purpose, so it fits.  See you then...
