I rewatched Time Bandits with my boyfriend, and I just realized something…


It’s pretty clear that everything actually happened (and any who finishes the film, for the first time knows this too..Like we do.) Which means that whatever astral planes they were jumping through… EVIL REALLY DID FOLLOW KEVIN HOME.


Obviously, Evil was coming after Kevin, but Kevin’s parents got to the chunk of Evil first (unknowing)... and boom.


What’s cracking me up is that my personal headcanon is basically canon now ....that I think about it. Evil really does seem to have a deep-seated vendetta against Kevin. Was it part of his plan for Kevin’s parents to go first? Who knows.


And why show up in the microwave? Unless he was forced to follow universal laws...the same ones God mentions about governing within His own laws he created. If that’s true, then Evil is stuck obeying them too, which means the microwave might’ve literally been the only way he could manifest in our current reality...

So when older Kevin finally meets him again, for the first time as an adult...I have it going like... "..YOU KILLED MY PARENTS!!!"
And Evil, looks taken a back for a moment. "...Their fault. I was going after you..." Points a firm talon finger a him, but in a like a casual gesturing, as if they were just friends, talking about the weather. where he has like that cocky vindicated grin. FOR ONCE EVIL ITSELF! Really is innocent, of something. What a paradox!

OMG! I just heard this. Though is meant to be Girl's POV. But the verses, FIT EVIL towards Amaranth (with some verses could be Ama's pov coming in too)


these verses...

And if you'd never come for me
I might've drowned in the melancholy
I swore my loyalty to me, myself and I
Right before you lit my sky up

All that time
I sat alone in my tower (the fotress of course)
You were just honing your powers (honing her powers, slowly getting under his skin...)
Now I can see it all
Late one night
You dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of
Ophelia

And if you'd never come for me
I might've lingered in purgatory
You wrap around me like a chain, a crown, a vine (this one explains itself)
Pulling me into the fire

[THEM BOTH POVS]
'Tis locked inside my memory
And only you possess the key
No longer drowning and deceived
All because you came for me
Locked inside my memory
And only you possess the key
No longer drowning and deceived
All because you came for me

Keep it one hundred
On the land, the sea, the sky
Pledge allegiance to your hands
Your team, your vibes
Don't care where the hell you been
'Cause now you're mine
It's 'bout to be the sleepless night
You've been dreaming of
