In the movie The Santa Clause, one becomes Santa by putting on the red coat after the death of the previous Santa. Even ignoring how morbid this premise is on its own, it’s possible that there’s another even darker level to the story. When Scott Calvin shows up at the North Pole as the new Santa, not only do the elves not appear surprised, they seem happy to see him and not at all upset about the Santa he replaced. And furthermore, at the very beginning of the movie, we see an elf standing with a crowd of children outside a toy store near Scott’s house. Why would she already be there if she didn’t have some sort of prior knowledge of what was going to occur? This leaves me no choice but to conclude that the elves not only hated the previous Santa but actually orchestrated his demise.
tl;dr: In The Santa Clause, the elves totally murdered the previous Santa.
Update: In The Santa Clause 2, the Easter Bunny says kids are 86% happier since Scott became Santa. 86%. Clearly, the last Santa was so terrible, the elves had to off him.
Also, according to The Santa Clause 2, Santa has to be married in order to remain Santa, which means that the previous Santa must have been married - but there’s no Mrs. Clause around when Scott gets to the North Pole. What happened to her?
And finally, I think this raises some pretty serious questions about Bernard’s sudden disappearance in between The Santa Clause 2 and 3. Just how badly did Curtis want to be Head Elf?
Just how many people have the elves murdered? Clearly those rosy cheeks and innocent, childlike faces are hiding some pretty dark secrets.
Oh my god
now this is the kind of Christmas post I want on my dash
The Santa Clause was just a Yuletide Julius Caesar.
how… what is… did you just have this art lying around?? was it in a box labeled In Case Of Goblin Seduction 6-Pack Joke Break Glass? apparently this is a Magic card and I have a lot of questions for Magic: The Gathering right now
I can never remember this card’s real name because everyone just calls it “Abs of Treason”
The card name is “Enthralling Victor”. It has a ‘spiritual sequel’ card in terms of artwork called “Captivating Crew”, drawn by the same artist:
you know that popular post asking what if a character just decides to be the chosen one? Where a character says “I’m the chosen one, because i just chose myself”
so thats on netflix and its called the new legends of monkey
YOU GUYS. There’s a new show on Netflix and I want to tell you ‘bout it.
Imagine if an ancient Chinese Tale was retold by Taika Waititi in the form of a laser synth 80′s inspired comic book esque tv-show aired when you were a kid - that’s this.
That title card says it all. LASER MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND!
First up is this adorable idiot- and the fight scenes are actually really well done!
Our female lead being gifted the Monkey King’s armpit hair as thanks
How the evil flunkies describe the Monkey King to their boss, oh - and have I mentioned that this is Film Australia, so everything has that Aussie Accent?
It also has this lady, who I’m pretty sure is legally required to be in every film made in Australia at this point. There’s a whole Season on Netflix, give it a try!
[Edit: It has been brought to my attention that there’s a lot of New Zealanders working on this as well, I can’t pick out the difference in accents myself but I can say everyone I’ve seen in the first two episodes is awesomesauce.]
