Film Theory: You Will NEVER Find Them (Weapons)

I was watching this movie in the theater and out of nowhere, in the middle of the movie, one dude got up and t-posed out the hall. Everybody started laughing 😂

My own noticing about Weapons is that 2:17 am has the 17 kids missing and only 2 people from that class surviving.

I love Gladys using the term "a touch of Consumption" because not only does it suggest she is very (unnaturally) old, but also it's an inside joke for her because she is quite literally consuming Alex's parent's life force.

Fun fact; The reason the warning about giving the fae your name is phrased that way is because they are said to be very literal and physically cannot lie, so when a fae asks, "Can/may I have your name?" Or "Can/may you give me your name?" You are literally giving it to them, so to be careful, the way you're supposed to respond is to politely tell them they can't have your name, nor will you give it to them. Some people say that you can clarify that they can KNOW your name or a nickname instead of having it, but even then, it's a risky move and a slippery slope.

4:44 actually it says that a year later some of them have started to speak again, so it’s not confirmed that it not possible for the others to recover, just that they’re not quite there yet.

Film theory doing Weapons is not something I expected

Thats a nice theory although in the scene where the kids are mauling her to death we can see brain matter fall off and we can clearly see that it looks dark, blackish, fugel looking even.

20:06 she took his dog tags. WITH HIS NAME ON THEM.

The fae are also said to take children, hold them captive in their fae realms, and replace them with magical duplicates called changelings, some of which would then attack their own families. That is an even stronger argument for this theory, because Gladys literally takes the children using their names, holds them in the basement for months, gives them food from the house (her realm), and is fully prepared to weaponize them against their own community. It also puts a really dark spin on why Gladys was so amused at Alex insisting she go home after the task was done, since "home" to the thing controlling her would be exactly where it wanted to take the kids.
