Unimportant CSM Headcanon 12.a

Before Denji and Power moved in, Aki owned approximately 0 movies (he considered them a waste of time and space). When the two of them complained about it, Aki bought a few VHS’s that he watched as a kid — including E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

The Hayakawa Household has an unspoken ban on E.T. for movie nights because it made everyone cry when they first watched it together. Denji felt a lot of sympathy based on his relationship with/loss of Pochita, Power was freaked by the practical effects and imagery, and Aki was reminded of his childhood/brother.

Power’s strong fear of the movie, especially of the spacemen, informed the form that the Darkness Devil took in Vol 8.

#file this one under: i rewatched E.T. last night #watched Lindsay Ellis’s video on Nebula and decided to rewatch it #haven’t seen it since I first watched it with my family as a kid. it was sweet! I love how earnest and compassionate it is #I think it captures childhood and child-like sensibilities really well idk #I like Ellis’s comparison of it to Ghibli movies #in the end. there’s no Bad Guy. everyone is motivated by love and curiosity #also it still looks Really Good #excellent practical effects #I love E.T. and his sounds #my csm thoughts #csm headcanons #chainsaw man #csm #csm denji #csm power #csm aki #hayakawa household #movie night #thinking about it I do find it interesting how many parallels there are between the Darkness Devil and the Imagery in E.T. #spaceman. frogs. etc #this is all inconsequential but I think it fits pretty well chronologically and thematically so. it’s apart of my personal canon lmao #E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
