Tmagp Rant - Tumblr Posts

I feel like there is a point where it gets annoying, but so far these are only developing characters and sometimes TMA is a good reference point for understanding the ideas being introduced in TMAGP. Especially if those parallels are intentional! Maybe Sam is “the new Jon” in the way that they are both likely going to be tied to a tragedy they could have prevented. It’s not a bad thing to compare characters at all, although I don’t think that is the point OP was trying to make.

Also, Smirke’s 14-15 Entities may not be applicable to the TMAGP stories, but they weren’t entirely applicable to TMA. They’re a useful framework/lens for understanding horror, that can both help and hurt understanding of the concepts. If someone wants to say that Mr. Bonzo is very hunt-coded, that’s okay, because it helps them interpret the character in their own way.

I mean this in the nicest way but watching people try to fit every single story into a TMA entity and relate every protocol character to a TMA character is making me lose my marbles. I find it weird when people constantly say Alice is "the new Tim" and say Lena is "the new Elias" because they're clearly new characters that just share 1 similarity...
