    Maybe. What makes the thing scary is how unstoppable and inevitable of a force it is, no matter what you do and no matter where you go. I’ll be disappointed if they somehow find a way to kill it in the sequel.

      It also functioned well as a metaphor for growing up/loss of innocence. I’m not sure how well it will go trying to explore that theme further using the same metaphor.

      They didn’t even get through an entire movie without ruining that mystique. It wasn’t very “unstoppable and inevitable” when it was just standing on the roof of a house, or when it just grabbed that girl by the hair but failed to do any damage.
