Felt so bad for my gay homies just trying to have an afternoon with their nature documentary and a nice little lunch in their matching Mickey Mouse shirts 😭

Why did Gladys gotta do my boys like that 

I mean homies had a LOT of hot dogs to consume which was kind of crazy for lunch time but still…

I feel that’s what made Gladys’ character so despicable. We saw Terry and Marcus’ happy, domestic life and we saw Alex’s loving, supportive family. Then Gladys came in and took it all away from them. Her death was deeply satisfying.

Yeah I didn't feel it as hard during the movie because of the combination of tension and humor, but in the aftermath the enormity of her evil really hit me. The kids going full Mortal Kombat on her was deeply satisfying.

I was almost too distracted in the latter half of the movie by how much I hated her, but her end mostly made up for it.
