Okay... can someone explain what the hell the whole point of trying to humanize Kevin Crumb was all about? I mean, why in the hell did they write the former victim of the psycho as some forgiving woman that was sad when the evil f**k got it in the end? What the hell? Is that the current snowflake generation? Am I to expect the next movie painting Hitler as just misunderstood?
sharei'm thinking this multiple personality thing makes thinks complex with the kevin crumb thing and i wonder how much people know about this split personality thing with who much responsibility did kevin have with all this bad stuff
shareMy best guess is that Kevin Wendell Crumb is a victim in this story too. He's not in control, mentally.
shareHard to say he is a victim in this story when it start out with him holding a bunch of cheerleaders hostage so they can be killed by the beast. If one of the split personalities was trying to help the cheerleaders escape then you might have a case for some empathy for that side of him but all the personalities refrain from helping them even though they all know the beast will kill them. In that respect they are all worthless sides of Kevin that would best be put down like a rabid dog.
shareKevin Wendell Crumb has movie-DID/MPD. In the real world, experts don't even agree that such a thing actually exists, but in the movie world, this movie's world especially, it's absolutely real.
Within that reality, Crumb is himself one of the "good guys." He wants to be cured of his alters, not cooperate with them. It's only some of the alters, Patricia, Hedwig and Dennis, who kidnap victims for the Beast.
Crumb himself, within the movie's logic, is just a victim. Remember, in "Split," when he realized the Beast had killed Dr. Fletcher, he told Casey where to find his shotgun and shells. He specifically asked her to kill him.
The way I see it, he is a good guy who is powerless to take control.
sharethat's because he doesn't even want to be in the "Light", he can't deal with his childhood trauma, so he doesn't wanna be "awake" that's how the alters started to take over.
