Yellowjackets Recap: Serious Karma Deficit
Briefly

'12 Angry Girls and 1 Drunk Travis,' now streaming on Paramount+, delves into the consequences of the characters' actions and the futility of seeking karmic justice. The trial of Coach Ben Scott highlights the irony of the girls turning against their teacher, who is instrumental for their survival. As the story unfolds, it emphasizes how feelings of guilt and the need for external sacrifices often go unfulfilled. The complexity of each character reflects larger themes of morality, survival, and the whims of a seemingly sentient wilderness that demands its own price.
"The trial of Coach Ben Scott shows that karma doesn’t matter in the Yellowjackets' universe, where the girls benefit from his teachings despite him being unjustly accused."
"The wilderness demands sacrifices, and it doesn’t care how it gets them. It resembles a vengeful teenage girl, lashing out at external sources of discomfort."
