My Witherburn Afterschool News Theory

My Witherburn Afterschool News Theory

The Disappearances- obviously it's something to do with the Clarks, but I think they're running a cult in the town that are sacrificing the kidnapped people to some kind of God. I'm not sure if this god is real, but I suspect it's the man that the mayor was babbling about in Episode 21, which does somewhat incline me to believe that there is a real person they're worshipping, although I'm not sure if he has magical powers or not. They are probably sending out members of the cult into the woods to lure in the kids that they would then kill. This cult has also been going since at least the 1950s, kidnapping and killing outcasts since then, but has recently started to up its activity.

The Monsters- I'm still not sure if there are monsters or not. If there are monsters then I think they are being caused by the cults activity, possibly with the kids being turned into them, as was said to have happened to Evelyn Grahm as described in Episode 8. This is also backed up by several of the mlMonsters of the Week being missing children transformed into monsters (Episodes 4, 10, 20). Alternatively, if there are no monsters then I think they are the actions of the cult being seen by outsiders and misunderstood, see Monster of the Week Episode 3, 17 and 21. Honestly with what we know so far this could go either way, but I'm thinking somewhere in the middle, that there's real monsters being brought about by the cult, while people are mistaking their activities in the woods for monsters. Honestly this just depends on what the writers find scarier, the body horror of the transformation, or the cult terrorising a small town.

Hunter and Eva- I think Hunter was recruited to the cult by his parents, who encouraged his his horrible behaviour in order to provide the cult with a scapegoat when the time came. I think Eva was forced to join the cult by her father and was leaving the graffiti in order to sabotage the cult without being caught. As for her claim about them summoning the apocalypse, I'm not sure. She may have lied to, or this could be accurate, we don't have enough information yet. Either way it probably won't make a difference this season, which is the time frame I'm working from.

What I think is coming next- I think that the Reporter will go onto the Clarks secret land in the finale after the cult has betrayed her by going back on their work and taking someone else. I think they will then kidnap her while she's there, in an attempt to force her back into speaking in their favour. I think the actual Witherburn Afterschool News program will then be taken over by either one of the Reporters relatives, or by Birdie who will be trying to save the Reporter from the cult, while fighting the disinformation they would be spreading through the Reporters mouth.

That's just what I think will happen, and I hope I've got at least a few things right.

Yeah, I mean that's a main theme of TMA, 'what does it mean to be a monster?', and ignoring that in the magnus protocol is kinda short sighted

I’ve seen some people seriously hating on Celia and while obviously using Sam like that was bad but if you take more than half a second to think about it she really had good motives.

She has a kid. That’s already motivation enough in my eyes.

But besides that she was literally tortured in the tma universe. She was a victim in the eyepocalypse. Obviously she doesn’t want to go back there! She lost everything. Her name, her identity, her home, anything she may have had there. Now she has a life, she has a son. Obviously she’ll do anything to protect that!

I love when Alice Dyer said “it’s diversity time” and diversed all over OIAR

I say this as I retreat back to my cave

Jesus christ this is ridiculous

Fucking hell, this opens up a scary new era of cyber warfare.
