Why does a 14 year old...
Need a babysitter? Is it just because he’s a pu$$y and is afraid to be home by himself?
shareBecause it's necessary for the plot, genius. If he was 8 years old they would have killed him right away. THE END. He had to be old enough to fight back.
shareYou didn’t answer the question you idiot. It doesn’t make sense in the context of the movie .that’s like you complaining about Bruce making it back to Gotham and my reply is “well if he didn’t then Gotham would have blown up”. It’s nonsense
shareIf you want an in-world explanation: his parents are uptight, and don't trust him to behave himself if he's left alone in the house overnight. But my point stands, he had to be old enough to believably fight back. If he was like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone it would've been a totally different movie. So you make him 14. It's not like this film is meant to be taken all that seriously. Plot necessity/convenience is the real explanation for many details in many different movies and TV shows.
I think you're letting your bitterness creep in from other threads, onemanarmy82. Need to work on that! 🤭
I didn’t ask what the reason was from a writing standpoint, genius. I asked you to address why a 14 year old would not only require a babysitter but would be ok with it. Both defy the laws of logic you moron. Lol what bitterness? I totally own you apparently to the level that you follow me to other threads seeking my attention.
shareHis babysitter was hot and his only friend.
Satisfied?
Right but there was no chance he was going to get any so really the whole thing was just a tease which sucks
shareSo there’s just no acceptable answer for you. Got it.
shareYes I only accept logical answers, that which you have not provided.
shareThere’s been plenty of logical answers provided by me and others that you just don’t agree with. I agree that a 14 year old shouldn’t need a babysitter. However, some parents are overbearing but that wasn’t acceptable to you. My younger cousin never slept a night that wasn’t under same roof as his parents until he went to college. Then you said why would the kid allow it. And my answer was very reasonable. But because she’s not a pedophile, it’s somehow not logical that a 14 year old would have unrealistic expectations.
shareI have not received a single logical answer. 14 year olds don't need a babysitter and if a 14 year old's parents got them a babysitter they would have a problem with it.
shareYou can’t speak for every 14 year old or parent in the world.
Just accept your reasoning then. He’s afraid to be home alone by himself. They are all reasonable.
And you accept that’s not normal for a 14 year old boy
shareI do. We’re talking about a movie where they are sacrificing a child to the devil so they can get their dreams fulfilled.
shareRight but that doesn’t establish a universe where a 14 year old is ok with having a babysitter. There has to be a method to the madness, this movie doesn’t have one
Example: in Edward scissorhands it would normally not make sense that they would have him sleeping in a waterbed when there is a foldout couch downstairs but it was established early on that Peg was an idiot and this is also the universe where the inventor taught him etiquette before removing the scissors so therefore having him sleep in a waterbed makes sense because it’s consistent with the established universe and how these characters have been acting
The babysitter is hot. What 14 year old boy wouldn’t want a hot babysitter to fantasize about?
