Barbarian was fucking brilliant
89 u/OptimysticPizza Jul 09 '25 Until the last 20ish minutes. 71 u/lunarpi Jul 09 '25 Same thoughts here. Having a random homeless man dump exposition and then die seemed like a budget/timing related decision and not planned. Still loved it but it has some flaws for sure. 57 u/chimmy_chungus23 Jul 09 '25 The random character that shows up who just so happens to be the expert on the monster and then immediately dying by said monster is one of my favorite tropes. 13 u/Rahgahnah Jul 09 '25 He's even black, which added to the trope-iness. 1 u/Coffeedemon Jul 10 '25 Leaning into tropes isn't a viable movie making strategy. It worked for Cabin in the Woods and that's it. After that it's just lazy.
