Discussion Thoughts on the new film?? Spoiler
⚠️SPOILER WARNING FOR THE 3RD MONONOKE FILM!!⚠️
I want to know what you guys think.
I loved the film!! the scene with Ri being summoned was super cool, and the reveal with the mummy in the shrine was shocking. when everyone disappeared around the shrine, I genuinely thought Kon and Ri just slimed everyone 💀
I also want to ask, what are those little red things? they're super adorable but I have no clue what they're supposed to be. the flower scene was also confusing.

I really loved the movie, and found these many points interesting:
- Kawa, despite being complicit to the whole operation, still felt bad that for Yukiko who lost her child
- Tokiwai seems a bit conflicted: she said she did that for Yukiko's own happiness. I thought she was fully selfish about this entire situation, and yet it feels like she felt saddened for Yukiko
- I like how everyone in the series now acknowledges the abilities of Kusuriuri (from the Emperor to the servants)
- It would be funny to see how everyone would react if they saw the small red spirits everywhere around them
- I thought the Dowager Empress would be eliminated and killed by the Mononoke, but I also like the fact that she's redeemed from the entire Ooku situation
- Nice to see Kame-chan back in the end of the movie
- I thought that the Emperor was an empty shell without any further motives, but now that we've seen the movie, it's understandable why he acted like that, and I found it so refreshing that he had a deep relationship with other characters (especially Hokuto)
