First of all what the helly because what in the metal pipe falling down the stairs playlist did I just witness. WHAT WAS THAT ENDING.
I have seen a few theories on the button scene and I want to add my view on this rollercoaster highway to who knows where.
So first of all. I don’t think Jax was planning on pressing the red button as I did when I first watched it. Because yes it would make sense after the imagery of what I assume was the real world not just some random flashbacks and after the implication that he doesn’t have anyone outside waiting for him to return and he would much rather others hate him for trapping them there with him than returning to the outside world alone and probably haunted by those memories again. But at the same time when we jump back to the part where he turns over the polaroid and he nearly pretty much abstracts if it weren’t for Pomni wanting to include him. And he looked so done with the place when getting the key from Caine as well. And getting to the room with the orb thingys it was so very obvious he just wants to go home.
And I’m convinced that he was going for the blue button because like when you look at the frames it almost looks like he was really aiming for the blue button when he raises his hand before it smashes the other. And really? It makes sense. Think about it. He almost abstracts, loses friends in this game and he most definietly got PTSD from this place. So why stay? He certainly wanted to leave and press that red button. But remember how he accuses Caine of controling their minds? Maybe Caine was afraid of Jax pressing the blue button and when he noticed him moving in the state of a “trance” he takes advantage of that and makes him press the red one.
But that’s just my theory and wheter you decide to go with the “he wanted to avoid whatever was in the flashbacks and pressed the red one on purpose” or the one i placed here, or you can’t really chose what you believe because honestly? The bunny is too unpredictable and inexplainable to truly know what is right and what is wrong or if were even close!
Thank you for attending my TedTalk
(Yes I am aware im not the only one with this theory)
