Stay Back!

Thought I needed to stop putting Kat and Evan in a box so much

In all seriousness though—this scene is very sad. I hadn’t planned on this, and didn’t think of it till recently—but it reminds me a lot of the scene from Madagascar (I already mentioned this on social media) where Marty approaches Alex, telling him to come back home. Alex is so afraid of losing control of himself after discovering his wild nature that he builds himself a fortress designed to keep everyone away. But this doesn’t phase Marty, who is Alex’s best friend. When Marty refuses to leave, Alex lashes out at him like a wild lion would. But then his eyes go back to normal for a second and he pleads “I don’t wanna hurt you!”



For such a slapstick movie, it sure had a brutal moment there. I love how Marty stays with Alex even though Alex won’t let him come too close. In moments like that—sometimes solitude is the last thing we need.
