Another important fact, Pearl is an only child. As an only child she has no siblings to check her when she does wicked things or eat her out. It’s also rare in the 1910s that families had only one child. All the stress of taking on the family farm are her responsibility alone. Normally one of the other siblings could take on the farm duties, but Pearl is the only one.
Pearl, in the first movie, strikes me as having bpd as well as aspd. The maladaptive day dreaming, age regression, and emotional volatility, especially after putting herself on stage to be told a firm no, are extremely familiar to me from my own experience with bpd. To me, she is, in a way, very relatable in how small things or things obvious to others can cause her to become caustic because they fail to align with her imagined best outcome.
@@angeloalcantar5401 they’re both cluster b disorders. Meaning they can share similarities like violence, narcissism and lack of empathy. Don’t be rude.
They did a perfect job of making her understandable and pityable, while not going into the path of making her sympathetic. Watching the movie, I understood why she did everything that she did, and I hated her guts.
Honestly, we need more villains like Pearl right now, because most villains are either mostly sympathetic, redeemable antagonists or the rare Maleficient level type of evil. There's never a middle ground
Maxine & Pearl are basically alternative paths stories. Both Pearl&Maxine come from a rough home life,both dream of stardom, but X factor is difference. Pearl is what happens when someone lets their roadblocks keep them from pursuing their dreams & Maxine is when someone finds the strength to pull themselves out their personal hell & pushes on to make their dreams a reality. "X" is the crossroad, a reminder of what Pearl feels she should've had(freedom/path to stardom) & a reminder to Maxine of what will happen is she gives up on what she's fighting for(Freedom&stardom)
🙂↕️‼️ couldn’t have said it better myself, as simple as Pearl n Maxine’s aspirations were they most certainly couldn’t have gone any different from each other. Truthfully I didn’t expect such a cool trilogy from “X” I’m glad I liked it enough to watch Pearl and Maxxxine😌
exactly! at the end of X when pearl is calling maxine deviant and degenerate maxine replies "It'll be our secret", obviously using pearl's own words against her but it gives the implication that maxine could have gone down the same path as pearl, as if pearl recognized some wickedness in maxine that was a reflection of herself
That would explain why Pearl was obsessed with Maxine. She saw herself in Maxine and was pretty much reminded, too late, that she gave up too easily and didn’t push the limits.
I feel like Pearl's mom was so cold to her in part due to the idea that many parents held back then (and still hold today tbh), that being that if your kid is alive and successfully becomes an adult that isn't in jail, a pariah, or locked in a mental health facility, they don't need to worry about anything else like emotional needs. Considering how full her plate was, I doubt that she was ever thinking about her daughter's emotional well being or if they had a loving relationship. As long as they could at the very least cooperate on the maintenance of the farm and taking care of Pearl's dad, there were no problems as far as she was concerned, which probably led to a very neglectful, cold environment in Pearl's formative years.
Idk, I disagree. She seems to understand that her daughter has antisocial personality disorder, and maybe with all the tragedy she's already had, she figures that it's best to keep Pearl close to the farm and sternly disciplined. She's already persona non grata as a German immigrant during WWI. The last thing she needs is her psychopathic daughter bringing more tragedy to her family by going out in the world and hutting ppl
@@blackanarchicreactsI tend to agree with your take, combine the fact that both women probably resented not only Pearl’s father due to his illness, and Pearl resenting her husband for giving up his family fortune and then abandoning her to go fight in the war, then you get what happens in Pearl
I’d just like to add that sociopathy is something that a person can be born with even if they had a great childhood/limited trauma. Not every traumatized person develops sociopathy or psychopathy. Not every sociopath has a history of trauma as a trigger.
@@maschaorsomething maybe because “trauma” is grossly overused to describe anything little thing that causes someone mild emotional distress. There are tons of people without trauma and having a hard childhood is not “trauma”. Trauma is a serious life altering incident or chain of events that cause c/ptsd.
But usually, it has to be due to some mental disorder. As some people at a young age were probably born with a mental disorder, but what makes them a psychopath or a sociopath is how that disorder ends up being exploited or not taking care of.
Not really. Psychopaths are born that way and their childhoods doesn't change that. It only impacts whatever they will be high or low functioning ones. And sociopathy is genetic predisposition + abuse/neglect/trauma.
IMO, Pearl’s mother was (at minimum) emotionally & psychologically abusive. Denying your child even the slightest hint of encouragement and telling them that they will fail at anything they try is abuse. Her mother also possessed narcissistic traits very similar to Pearl that were most likely passed down. And while I don’t put the blame squarely on Pearl’s mother (or father), it’s not likely any child could come out normal in such a dysfunctional environment.
Pearl is one of the most self-centred characters I have ever seen on the big screen. Life to her is all about fun, and once you make life “not fun” for her your days are numbered. She’s a full grown woman with the mind of a selfish child making her extra dangerous. I’m not convinced as to whether Pearl was born a psychopath or was conditioned to be one.

Omfg THANK YOU! I felt like I was the only one who couldn’t really stand Pearl. Everyone she murders is completely innocent and didn’t do anything but act rationally towards someone who is obviously disturbed. Do I sympathize with her wanting to leave and have a better life? Yes. I’m a dreamer too. But her meltdowns and constant screaming made me want to rip her head off. And the idea that she’s an icon of “female rage” is weird to me because nothing she does affirms her own power as a young woman or as a victim of circumstance. She’s a horror icon, sure, but she’s far from aspirational and I get the impression a lot of my peers overlook that.
She’s more of a sociopath probably suffering from a severe case of bipolar or schizophrenia. Considering the way, she lashes out at people due to a belief that they’re going to leave her without actually considering the fact that she’s the problem, not them.
Pearl scared me a lot because the first time I watched it I had just parted ways with a friend who was just like Pearl. Same selfishness, same rageful outbursts out of nowhere, same lack of self control, thinking she’s better than the rest of the world, and utterly ungrateful with her parents, who gave her the best life they could. She hasn’t chopped anyone into pieces with an ax as far as I’m aware, but I felt a chill run down my spine when I saw her through Pearl.
We the people of Iceland elected a prime minister like this. She tried to become president of our country. We said no. We do not want presidents like that. Although she was not exactly like Pearl, we were scared of her.
Your friend most likely had borderline personality disorder. My brother has it and your description is exactly like him. People that have it can’t regulate their emotions, I’ve seen my brother go from laughing to screaming, almost foaming at the mouth and losing control of his limbs within a matter of minutes.
Analyzing Evil: Silent Hill Not any of the characters from the series, but the town itself, which may or may not be sentient, but does seem driven by some dark purpose.
Basically the town is a “personal Hell” horror phenomenon. It wasn’t obvious in the first game cuz Harry was experiencing a primal parental fear. But James and more so Heather are the most obvious examples of the town getting specific with its psychological torment (James watching Pyramid Head be a violator as a reference to his sin, Heather seeing monsters sporting vagina lips as foreshadowing for what the cult wants from her)
Always seemed like silent Hill was the result of some sort of Lovecraftian phenomena that eventually formed the town we know. Like some kind of entity made the town in its own image, a town which aside from its sinister atmosphere, it is an otherwise otherworldly place that eventually fed on the demons in the minds of people which would eventually make these demons literal both physically and mentally
Thanks for your even handed take on Pearl's mother. Pretty much all the analysis I have seen previously has portrayed her unreasonable and the cause of Pearl's sociopathy.
One of the reasons why I love your channel and content is because it makes me appreciate characters more. I was never a fan of Pearl, preferring the other 2, but thanks to you I can appreciate Pearl as a character and film even more. I would say this is THE video from all your content that elevated the most a character and a film overall.
Just watched Pearl and Maxxine the other night and figured I'd try and hunt down your analyzing evil episode with the assumption you would have done one already, was pleasantly surprised you just did so. Great work. I especially like how you try to break down how she would minimize the possibility of her husband doing a runner. seeing that ending and her manic smile drawn out like that for credits was wild, and you're breakdown of what could of happened next completely mirrored my mind racing to figure out how she would spin it for him 😅 Also, that monologue. Didn't realize that it was eight minutes long! Felt much longer at the time, but in the best nerve-wracking way and then it only felt like a couple of minutes once everything escalated. She killed it in this movie (every pun intended). Nearly burst out laughing when her friend was like oh golly is that time (A weak-ass excuse to book it I can picture myself blurting out under the stress) 😅 Great breakdown, really captures how I was initially trying to find a reason for her behavior with the circumstances she was in and her relationship with her mum before giving up entirely on that as things escalated. Like, there's hardship there but she's really just her own worst enemy.
One of the best newest villains ever to be created. Even if you don't enjoy horror movies Pearl is still a fascinating character and the arc of her story is worth studying especially during the historical context of her times.
Sometimes i notice that I am like Pearl. I am afraid of myself of the horror i am capable off. I too desperately tries to organizes and understand my own emotions. I have empathy and compassion yet i too notice the narcissm, the delusion that made me relate to her. I tried to not always made the same mistakes, not to my surprise i've kept doing the same thing. Living the same delusion, hoping while achieving nothing. I am a fool of myself.
Suggestions: -Vergil from Devil May Cry -Darth Nihilis from Star Wars old canon -Alex Mercer from Prototype -Alucard from Hellsing -The Major from Hellsing -Stinkmeaner from The Boondocks
Considering "MaXXXine" has a satanic panic theme, the dynamic between her & her dad,also Maxine's look is very similar to Zeena LaVey(daughter of the leader of the satanic church Anton LaVey). It kinda adds some other subtle layers to the flick.
Analyzing Evil: -Makarov from Modern Warfare 2 -Rico (along with his real life inspiration Alpo Martinez) from Paid In Full -Shao Khan from The Mortal Kombat series -Omar from The Wire
Hey everyone. So this isn't basically an analysis of Pearl persay but how Pearl impacted me as a woman. Okay now this is weird but hear me out. I'm glad Pearl proved female villains are not gone and are still alive. I loved Azula but I never had many female villains I would enjoy until there was Dahlia from Ace Attorney, Amy Dune from Gone Girl, Lord Dominator fron Wander Over Yonder, Makima from CSM, or other villainesses. The point is that I enjoyed female villains but most of them were either goons (Daki, Konan) or tragic villains who redeem themselves (Cat-ra (2018), Harley Quinn). So when my hopes were up when Pearl was shown I was blown away. I never cared about X the movie but Pearl was beautiful. I think I somewhat relate to Pearl, unsure about my dreams and dealing with a house and family expectations. I will never be like Pearl but I feel Pearl reflected how people in the new generation feel. They wanted to do many opportunites but they're stuck and now dealing with generational divide, lost opportunities, struggles with money, and judgment from others. Pearl is sad because she reminds me of that though we should not be like Pearl. Not let the bad life dictate what happened and stuff. That's why I resonated with Pearl. Pearl showed the horrors of unfilled dreams, a twistrd take on Dorothy Ann stuck in her house unable to acheive her adventure of being a famous dancer. Had Pearl been a male villain she would've been a generic slasher villain. But she wasn't. Unlike most slasher villains she was complex and that made me enjoy her overall character. I am glad Pearl made me realize female villains are still doing well and I hope there's more irredeemable female villainesses too. Because I want to see more horrible women too in media.
I really like your take on this! I'm glad the character resonated with you. I identify with Pearl because I'm still coping with one of my lifelong dreams being crushed. "It isn't about what I want. It's about making the best of what I have."
Pearl hit home due to the eerily similarities to my own life. Growing up on a farm, a desire to escape a household that wasn't the best and even a desire to move away. There are differences of course. I managed to make it to LA, though my dream was more of having my own space in order to grow properly as my own person rather than chasing any stardom. It felt like staring into a dark reflection of what could have happened if I clung onto the wrong things, if I had let my anger get the best of me. It's rather refreshing to have an immoral female character that isn't just yet another take on either the seductress or girlboss gone wrong variety. There's much horror in those who don't even get the chance to step their foot in the door. My theory on her is definitely tied to attachment theory, since she sees stardom as a method of escape and autonomy since the most sane answer kind of got tossed out the window. She is not a saint whatsover by other means, but when you're not really allowed socially or legally to get your own place and space, dependent on someone whose not there who could very much just die while on the clock, and with a family that's (understandably) checked out...oof I am not surprised she went totally off the rails, but the ugliness of how manifest is unfortunately true to its time. The childlike nature thing I'm tempted to just say is due to the social role she is expected to fill. Women weren't really allowed to much but maintain the household and couldn't own property or so much as raise their voice without the threat of lobotomy hung over their heads, and it was far worst for those who had to grind harder in a working class environment, especially a farm of all places. You basically are serving as an overgrown child with much more responsibilities and no longer protected in the innocence of being an actual child. It's why its easy to sympathize with the mother as well, Pearl was kind of chasing a narrow dream, and some may have considered it a rather sacrilegious one anyways. All of this just sounds like a recipe for horror and disaster, but in a way that feels disturbingly cathartic at times. That being said, it's always hard to do any psychological analysis on films like this sometimes because movies like Halloween basically go "they're the DEVIL, its inherent" and like, yeah fair enough this is not how you're supposed to engage with it really. BUT it opens up for some interesting conversations. Thanks for the video, it was interesting to watch!
Serial murderers often display psychopathic tendencies early in life, with increasingly violent behavior developing over time. Her upbringing obviously didn't help matters.
I love Pearl's mother. She definitely was not abusive. Cold, yes but she had a hard life, even Pearl admitted this. She had a lot of wisdom and knew exactly what her daughter was. My favorite scene in the entire film was their last argument at the dinner table.
That's exactly why this entire film is the mothers fault, she knew exactly what her daughter was and then pushed her over the edge anyway, pearl is damn near a wild animal, and her mother backed her into a corner, and slapped her
Well not the entire film because she did try and kill her father, but how she reacted, afterwards yea, also crushing her dreams, and generally acting aggressive and combative to her violent sociopathic daughter was just soo stupid, especially when the mom always knew what the she was
@@Dash-dd1ro I agree with the slapping Pearl part. She shouldn't have done that. I don't agree with the "crushing her dreams" part. Before she slapped her she told Pearl she would suffer for her no longer and if she wanted to leave then go. She should've left it at that.
I liked mom too. She knew Pearl was a monster and tried to make her normal so she cld get along in the world. But pearls delusion made her think mom was the reason she was unhappy
Been waiting to see your analysis of Pearl! I recommend Jax Teller from Son's of Anarchy. Hannibal Lecter from the Hannibal tv Show and the themes and characters of Midnight Mass.
Hope to see these covered some day: - Joe Cooper (Killer Joe) - Nino Brown (New Jack City) - Jake "The Muss" Heke (Once Were Warriors) - Spider-Man 3 villains (Sandman and Venom) - Dr. X (from the Operation: Mindcrime albums by Queensrÿche)
What an analysis. To be honest when i saw this movie i was speechless with the outcome. The main character did an amazing job in acting out the character of pearl.
Suggestions: David Lo pan from Big trouble in Little China Jerry Dandridge from Fright night Orochi from The King of fighters Tohru Adatchi from Persona 4 Aku from Samurai Jack Giygas from Mother Series and Porky
That was a very good analysis. Analyze Rynn from The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane. It is from the early seventies when a person could disappear for a few years until becoming old enough to escape foster care and the evil torment that would bring.
I have two suggestions: Jonas Venture Sr from the Venture Bros, who is essentially the cause of all the conflict in the story Medusa Gorgon from Soul Eater, who is just an excellent and cruel character who abused her own child.
I love your videos. I do wanna add a bit of personal experience on the beginning of the video, when you present her case quite well. I feel like there is a significant piece missing - in a home where there is emotional abuse, there is no real long-term benefit to leaning in and doing your best with what you have. No matter how well you adapt, you will still be in an abusive home. The idea that the abuser, in this case maybe the mother, would soften with time and have compassion is a false belief. The abuser is the one who abuses. To expect this person to change from an abuser into a loving perfect parent because you sacrificed your life in order to make them happy is a recipe for a miserable life and can build up horrendous frustration. As far as the idea of selfishness vs selflessness, i believe that there is oftentimes a system where both can be chosen. It's more complicated that way and deal with some proper bravery and communication. Which is very hard to do in some lives, even if there was no overt abuse.
The best thing about Pearl is that she is a product of both nature AND nurture. You can tell that there's something off with her from the get-go and not only because she's the product of her environment. On the other hand tho you can also certainly understand the circumstances only made her mental challenges 10 times worse. The fact she's also self-aware. An expertly written villainess.
Im surprised this channel has never analyzed a vampire character before. Lestat from ann rice, Bill Compton from Charlaine Harris, or even Dracula from Bram Stroker.
@@braxbro7602 oh i never watched that video or jojo’s bizarre adventure before. I guess I meant more traditional vampires as jojo seems to be a bit non conventional in comparison to the characters i mentioned.
Thanks for this! I m one of the few who requested this one the moment I saw her do that monologue 🤯wow! I was floored! But after she killed poor sweet Mitzy I was outraged!!It became clear she would murder loved ones who Do not neglect her and included her in their plans, encouraged her and was sweet…how could you!??🤦🏽♀️ I was mortified and felt no sympathy for her after that🤯 I do not know why that bothered me so… I knew we were dealing with evil
Yes so glad at long last you funnily covered Pearl 👏hope to see you cover Analyzing Evil: Jason Dean from Heathers Analyzing Evil: Jafar from Aladdin Analyzing Evil: Gaston from Beauty and The Beast Analyzing Evil: Vacna from Stranger Things Analyzing Evil: The Joker from Batman 1989
Yes! I would love that. So many people were on her side and loved Katey Sagal without realizing until she does the ultimate evil (that horrifying, heartbreaking scene!) that she's an evil, narcissistic monster. @@Panthabear27

Please consider making a video analyzing Don Lope de Aguirre from Herzog's Aguirre, the Wrath of God. I doubt you will see this comment, but i think it'd be very interesting to see a real historical figure who has been adapted into film analyzed, as the movie is one of my favorites and is based on real world events and the real Aguirre.
It’s really interesting how being away from society and interacting with other people can affect you! I’m an introvert and feel comfortable alone but during Covid I wasn’t working or seeing anyone and I started to feel strange and stressed about interacting with people thankfully that’s all over but it really makes me wonder what could be done about that or how one would fix that problem because the longer it goes on the more stressed and anxious a person will feel then when you do get the chance to interact you come off as awkward or weird which just reinforces the idea that it’s better to not interact with others like how would that even be fixed? Like what is really normal? It seems like when we do interact we’re subconsciously mimicking others to conform into the normal behavior that is acceptable so what is really the norm then?
Thank you for this video. I hadn't seen the film before I watched your video. I had only seen X, and I've got to say that this film is one of those few instances were the sequel is better than the original. Your analysis of Pearl is spot on. She's such an interesting character. I wonder what she told Howard to get him to stay with her. I have no doubt that she didn't tell him about Mitsy.

There's a high level of comingling amongst personality disorders like bpd, npd and aspd, which I'm sure u know. I thought maybe Pearl was struggling with ASPD and BPD but I could easily see NPD. Great food for thought as usual love your channel and love these films
perfect timing; just last night i was thinking again about how i look like theda bara (the silent film star her gator is named after. also it's "thae-da") and how i/this face already got to be the biggest star on the planet ☺️ been there, done that, i got even bigger plans in this lifetime ;D
Great video a few critiques: 1. The world is worse off by not at least giving the same access to opportunity and emotional care that is needed to foster a secure mindset in achieving a goal. So although Pearl is a monster she is ultimately still a symptom of systemic/systematic failure. 2. Not everyone who "has" worked to get it. Actually I'd argue the vast majority of people who are in "high places" gained it simply by being born at the right place, at the right time, with the right people to give them that materially. And I do mean give.
Day 39 of asking you to please make a video analyzing leo kasper/daniel lamb/the project from the game manhunt 2. Also, great video, my man, keep up the good work!
He seems to do the more high profile villians, more than the underrated ones. For instance, I've been suggesting Sgt. Waters from A Soldier's Story, for a year now. Still no reply. He's a great and complex villain.
it definitely came off as childish how pearl would just regurgitate other people's words. When talking to Mitzy- "You always get what you want. You're younger and more blonde" (literally the exact description the judge gave her). Children literally just repeat stuff like that

And the idea that she’s an icon of “female rage” is weird to me because nothing she does affirms her own power as a young woman or as a victim of circumstance. She’s a horror icon, sure, but she’s far from aspirational and I get the impression a lot of my peers overlook that.
She’s more of a sociopath probably suffering from a severe case of bipolar or schizophrenia. Considering the way, she lashes out at people due to a belief that they’re going to leave her without actually considering the fact that she’s the problem, not them.
I feel bad for older "parentified" siblinfs forced to care for kids that aren’t theirs. Garbage parents in many cases.
Kratos would be very interesting
Mia Goth was such a freaking queen as Pearl; thank you for making a video about her.
Now she’s the queen of kicking background actors in the head
@@braxbro7602And the queen of getting falsely accused by scammers 💋
Pearl scared me a lot because the first time I watched it I had just parted ways with a friend who was just like Pearl. Same selfishness, same rageful outbursts out of nowhere, same lack of self control, thinking she’s better than the rest of the world, and utterly ungrateful with her parents, who gave her the best life they could. She hasn’t chopped anyone into pieces with an ax as far as I’m aware, but I felt a chill run down my spine when I saw her through Pearl.
We the people of Iceland elected a prime minister like this. She tried to become president of our country. We said no. We do not want presidents like that. Although she was not exactly like Pearl, we were scared of her.
Your friend most likely had borderline personality disorder. My brother has it and your description is exactly like him. People that have it can’t regulate their emotions, I’ve seen my brother go from laughing to screaming, almost foaming at the mouth and losing control of his limbs within a matter of minutes.
She was amazing in the role. Some of the best acting ive have ever seen
Analyzing Evil: Lotso From Toy Story 3
Yesss!
Absolutely!
no bc it’s easy, bro is a broken villain who tuned evil
Why stop at Lotso? Ernesto de la Cruz and Charles Muntz deserve their own videos.
Good choice
Analyzing Evil: Silent Hill
Not any of the characters from the series, but the town itself, which may or may not be sentient, but does seem driven by some dark purpose.
I agree. I suggested Christabella from the church in silent hill
Basically the town is a “personal Hell” horror phenomenon. It wasn’t obvious in the first game cuz Harry was experiencing a primal parental fear. But James and more so Heather are the most obvious examples of the town getting specific with its psychological torment (James watching Pyramid Head be a violator as a reference to his sin, Heather seeing monsters sporting vagina lips as foreshadowing for what the cult wants from her)
Always seemed like silent Hill was the result of some sort of Lovecraftian phenomena that eventually formed the town we know. Like some kind of entity made the town in its own image, a town which aside from its sinister atmosphere, it is an otherwise otherworldly place that eventually fed on the demons in the minds of people which would eventually make these demons literal both physically and mentally
I personally believe that the town is sentient under the influence of the "God" that the Cult worships.
It would definitely be his longest video!
Thanks for your even handed take on Pearl's mother. Pretty much all the analysis I have seen previously has portrayed her unreasonable and the cause of Pearl's sociopathy.
Probably had one of the most unsettling end credits I've ever seen in any movie
One of the reasons why I love your channel and content is because it makes me appreciate characters more. I was never a fan of Pearl, preferring the other 2, but thanks to you I can appreciate Pearl as a character and film even more. I would say this is THE video from all your content that elevated the most a character and a film overall.
18:06 the way you transition into talking about moral environment to media environment seamlessly here is just very good scriptwriting
No, I'm a star! Please, I'm a *star!* Please, somebody help me! Please help me!- Pearl. All you need to know about her
Just watched Pearl and Maxxine the other night and figured I'd try and hunt down your analyzing evil episode with the assumption you would have done one already, was pleasantly surprised you just did so. Great work. I especially like how you try to break down how she would minimize the possibility of her husband doing a runner. seeing that ending and her manic smile drawn out like that for credits was wild, and you're breakdown of what could of happened next completely mirrored my mind racing to figure out how she would spin it for him 😅
Also, that monologue. Didn't realize that it was eight minutes long! Felt much longer at the time, but in the best nerve-wracking way and then it only felt like a couple of minutes once everything escalated. She killed it in this movie (every pun intended). Nearly burst out laughing when her friend was like oh golly is that time (A weak-ass excuse to book it I can picture myself blurting out under the stress) 😅
Great breakdown, really captures how I was initially trying to find a reason for her behavior with the circumstances she was in and her relationship with her mum before giving up entirely on that as things escalated. Like, there's hardship there but she's really just her own worst enemy.
Lol, she had me dying with " I'M MARRIED!!!"
My favorite part
One of the best newest villains ever to be created. Even if you don't enjoy horror movies Pearl is still a fascinating character and the arc of her story is worth studying especially during the historical context of her times.
Analyzing Evil: Homelander, Stormfront, and Soldier Boy from The Boys.
Not a bad choice but I think he's waiting for it to end but that would be a Great video
@@landonfausett9854 would be a great trilogy of videos, for sure. Could end on Honelander as a finale
Solider Boy isn’t evil…
@@jameslough6329soldier boy is a bad person, but not evil imo
@@thataintfalco7106 Agreed. Personality wise he’s no worse than S1 A-Train imo
Sometimes i notice that I am like Pearl. I am afraid of myself of the horror i am capable off. I too desperately tries to organizes and understand my own emotions. I have empathy and compassion yet i too notice the narcissm, the delusion that made me relate to her. I tried to not always made the same mistakes, not to my surprise i've kept doing the same thing. Living the same delusion, hoping while achieving nothing. I am a fool of myself.
i believe in you. i hope you are able to break those cycles
Suggestions:
-Vergil from Devil May Cry
-Darth Nihilis from Star Wars old canon
-Alex Mercer from Prototype
-Alucard from Hellsing
-The Major from Hellsing
-Stinkmeaner from The Boondocks
He is doing Darth nihilus after all the sith before him
A stinkmeaner episode would be amazing
Vergil is a great choice. Always loved him.
Definitely stinkmeaner
I hope you do a Maxine analyzing evil. Maxxxine was great, but Pearl scratched an itch I didn’t know I have.
Considering "MaXXXine" has a satanic panic theme, the dynamic between her & her dad,also Maxine's look is very similar to Zeena LaVey(daughter of the leader of the satanic church Anton LaVey). It kinda adds some other subtle layers to the flick.
Analyzing Evil:
-Makarov from Modern Warfare 2
-Rico (along with his real life inspiration Alpo Martinez) from Paid In Full
-Shao Khan from The Mortal Kombat series
-Omar from The Wire
Hey everyone. So this isn't basically an analysis of Pearl persay but how Pearl impacted me as a woman. Okay now this is weird but hear me out.
I'm glad Pearl proved female villains are not gone and are still alive. I loved Azula but I never had many female villains I would enjoy until there was Dahlia from Ace Attorney, Amy Dune from Gone Girl, Lord Dominator fron Wander Over Yonder, Makima from CSM, or other villainesses. The point is that I enjoyed female villains but most of them were either goons (Daki, Konan) or tragic villains who redeem themselves (Cat-ra (2018), Harley Quinn).
So when my hopes were up when Pearl was shown I was blown away. I never cared about X the movie but Pearl was beautiful. I think I somewhat relate to Pearl, unsure about my dreams and dealing with a house and family expectations. I will never be like Pearl but I feel Pearl reflected how people in the new generation feel. They wanted to do many opportunites but they're stuck and now dealing with generational divide, lost opportunities, struggles with money, and judgment from others. Pearl is sad because she reminds me of that though we should not be like Pearl. Not let the bad life dictate what happened and stuff.
That's why I resonated with Pearl. Pearl showed the horrors of unfilled dreams, a twistrd take on Dorothy Ann stuck in her house unable to acheive her adventure of being a famous dancer. Had Pearl been a male villain she would've been a generic slasher villain. But she wasn't. Unlike most slasher villains she was complex and that made me enjoy her overall character. I am glad Pearl made me realize female villains are still doing well and I hope there's more irredeemable female villainesses too. Because I want to see more horrible women too in media.
Amy Dunn's already been done. Forgive the pun.
I really like your take on this! I'm glad the character resonated with you. I identify with Pearl because I'm still coping with one of my lifelong dreams being crushed. "It isn't about what I want. It's about making the best of what I have."
I support women’s rights, but more importantly I support women’s WRONGS🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
I have been waiting for this video for MONTHS!
Pearl hit home due to the eerily similarities to my own life. Growing up on a farm, a desire to escape a household that wasn't the best and even a desire to move away. There are differences of course. I managed to make it to LA, though my dream was more of having my own space in order to grow properly as my own person rather than chasing any stardom. It felt like staring into a dark reflection of what could have happened if I clung onto the wrong things, if I had let my anger get the best of me. It's rather refreshing to have an immoral female character that isn't just yet another take on either the seductress or girlboss gone wrong variety. There's much horror in those who don't even get the chance to step their foot in the door.
My theory on her is definitely tied to attachment theory, since she sees stardom as a method of escape and autonomy since the most sane answer kind of got tossed out the window. She is not a saint whatsover by other means, but when you're not really allowed socially or legally to get your own place and space, dependent on someone whose not there who could very much just die while on the clock, and with a family that's (understandably) checked out...oof I am not surprised she went totally off the rails, but the ugliness of how manifest is unfortunately true to its time.
The childlike nature thing I'm tempted to just say is due to the social role she is expected to fill. Women weren't really allowed to much but maintain the household and couldn't own property or so much as raise their voice without the threat of lobotomy hung over their heads, and it was far worst for those who had to grind harder in a working class environment, especially a farm of all places. You basically are serving as an overgrown child with much more responsibilities and no longer protected in the innocence of being an actual child. It's why its easy to sympathize with the mother as well, Pearl was kind of chasing a narrow dream, and some may have considered it a rather sacrilegious one anyways. All of this just sounds like a recipe for horror and disaster, but in a way that feels disturbingly cathartic at times.
That being said, it's always hard to do any psychological analysis on films like this sometimes because movies like Halloween basically go "they're the DEVIL, its inherent" and like, yeah fair enough this is not how you're supposed to engage with it really. BUT it opens up for some interesting conversations. Thanks for the video, it was interesting to watch!
Serial murderers often display psychopathic tendencies early in life, with increasingly violent behavior developing over time. Her upbringing obviously didn't help matters.
I love Pearl's mother. She definitely was not abusive. Cold, yes but she had a hard life, even Pearl admitted this. She had a lot of wisdom and knew exactly what her daughter was. My favorite scene in the entire film was their last argument at the dinner table.
That's exactly why this entire film is the mothers fault, she knew exactly what her daughter was and then pushed her over the edge anyway, pearl is damn near a wild animal, and her mother backed her into a corner, and slapped her
Well not the entire film because she did try and kill her father, but how she reacted, afterwards yea, also crushing her dreams, and generally acting aggressive and combative to her violent sociopathic daughter was just soo stupid, especially when the mom always knew what the she was
@@Dash-dd1ro I agree with the slapping Pearl part. She shouldn't have done that. I don't agree with the "crushing her dreams" part. Before she slapped her she told Pearl she would suffer for her no longer and if she wanted to leave then go. She should've left it at that.
I liked mom too. She knew Pearl was a monster and tried to make her normal so she cld get along in the world. But pearls delusion made her think mom was the reason she was unhappy
@@Dash-dd1roPearl was delusional. The mom was simply trying to ground her to reality

@@bloodrosereaper2099 Thank you. I was thinking of saying that but I’m delighted that you said it instead.
i watched pearl a few weeks ago with my friends and i said we should check for an analyzing evil video right after watching 😭
One of the most memorable films I've seen in a long time, I actually saw Pearl 1st then X. Amazing performance from Goth.
Been waiting to see your analysis of Pearl! I recommend Jax Teller from Son's of Anarchy. Hannibal Lecter from the Hannibal tv Show and the themes and characters of Midnight Mass.

Hope to see these covered some day:
- Joe Cooper (Killer Joe)
- Nino Brown (New Jack City)
- Jake "The Muss" Heke (Once Were Warriors)
- Spider-Man 3 villains (Sandman and Venom)
- Dr. X (from the Operation: Mindcrime albums by Queensrÿche)
I've been feining for Nino Brown for a while now. 😂
The monologue still gives me chills. Mia goth is a goddess
Suggestions: Maleficent from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, Magneto from X-men the animated series, and Vlad Plasmius from Danny Phantom
Now I have to rewatch the whole series! Not just because of your brilliant take but the amazing insights from everyone commenting as well !!!
What an analysis. To be honest when i saw this movie i was speechless with the outcome. The main character did an amazing job in acting out the character of pearl.
Suggestions:
David Lo pan from Big trouble in Little China
Jerry Dandridge from Fright night
Orochi from The King of fighters
Tohru Adatchi from Persona 4
Aku from Samurai Jack
Giygas from Mother Series and Porky
That was a very good analysis. Analyze Rynn from The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane.
It is from the early seventies when a person could disappear for a few years until becoming old enough to escape foster care and the evil torment that would bring.
I have two suggestions:
Jonas Venture Sr from the Venture Bros, who is essentially the cause of all the conflict in the story
Medusa Gorgon from Soul Eater, who is just an excellent and cruel character who abused her own child.
Johnny from "In A Violent Nature".
CIaus von Bulow from "Reversal of Fortune"
Sargeant Waters from "A Soldier's Story"
Analyzing evil : Franklin Saint from Snowfall
I love your videos. I do wanna add a bit of personal experience on the beginning of the video, when you present her case quite well. I feel like there is a significant piece missing - in a home where there is emotional abuse, there is no real long-term benefit to leaning in and doing your best with what you have. No matter how well you adapt, you will still be in an abusive home. The idea that the abuser, in this case maybe the mother, would soften with time and have compassion is a false belief. The abuser is the one who abuses. To expect this person to change from an abuser into a loving perfect parent because you sacrificed your life in order to make them happy is a recipe for a miserable life and can build up horrendous frustration.
As far as the idea of selfishness vs selflessness, i believe that there is oftentimes a system where both can be chosen. It's more complicated that way and deal with some proper bravery and communication. Which is very hard to do in some lives, even if there was no overt abuse.
The best thing about Pearl is that she is a product of both nature AND nurture. You can tell that there's something off with her from the get-go and not only because she's the product of her environment. On the other hand tho you can also certainly understand the circumstances only made her mental challenges 10 times worse. The fact she's also self-aware. An expertly written villainess.
It's been awhile since you've done a character I know! Thank you so much, VileEye.

Any chance of doing Gul Dukat from Star Trek Deep Space 9? I feel like he’s one of the most interesting and unique villains ever put to television.
Good call! Also Lore from Next Generation.
Pearl is hands down one of the best horror movies of the 2020s, i was blown away
I would love some more female villains analysed in the future! I find so many female villains so compelling
Thanks for this! I m one of the few who requested this one the moment I saw her do that monologue 🤯wow! I was floored! But after she killed poor sweet Mitzy I was outraged!!It became clear she would murder loved ones who Do not neglect her and included her in their plans, encouraged her and was sweet…how could you!??🤦🏽♀️ I was mortified and felt no sympathy for her after that🤯 I do not know why that bothered me so… I knew we were dealing with evil

Love to see a video about Gul Dukat from DS9 or Benjamin Linus from Lost
It’s really interesting how being away from society and interacting with other people can affect you! I’m an introvert and feel comfortable alone but during Covid I wasn’t working or seeing anyone and I started to feel strange and stressed about interacting with people thankfully that’s all over but it really makes me wonder what could be done about that or how one would fix that problem because the longer it goes on the more stressed and anxious a person will feel then when you do get the chance to interact you come off as awkward or weird which just reinforces the idea that it’s better to not interact with others like how would that even be fixed? Like what is really normal? It seems like when we do interact we’re subconsciously mimicking others to conform into the normal behavior that is acceptable so what is really the norm then?
A lot of people falsely compare the mother to Margret White from Carrie, and that's wildly unfair.
Thanks. A note: it reminded me of "sunset boulevard ", right down to the final shot of the lead actress staring insanely into the camera. ❤
Thank you for this video. I hadn't seen the film before I watched your video. I had only seen X, and I've got to say that this film is one of those few instances were the sequel is better than the original.
Your analysis of Pearl is spot on. She's such an interesting character. I wonder what she told Howard to get him to stay with her. I have no doubt that she didn't tell him about Mitsy.

There's a high level of comingling amongst personality disorders like bpd, npd and aspd, which I'm sure u know. I thought maybe Pearl was struggling with ASPD and BPD but I could easily see NPD. Great food for thought as usual love your channel and love these films

Analyzing Evil: Suzanne Stone from To Die For and her inspiration Pamela Smart
Great video a few critiques: 1. The world is worse off by not at least giving the same access to opportunity and emotional care that is needed to foster a secure mindset in achieving a goal. So although Pearl is a monster she is ultimately still a symptom of systemic/systematic failure. 2. Not everyone who "has" worked to get it. Actually I'd argue the vast majority of people who are in "high places" gained it simply by being born at the right place, at the right time, with the right people to give them that materially. And I do mean give.
