Spoilers For "Yellowothlettings" to follow them.

The story of Yellowjackets in season 2 "received a few mixed answers, leaving a series of some tricky places for the third season now-on-road. In today's time frame of the show, Natalie's Death (Juluieth Lewis) was drawn as premature and badly imagined. Meanwhile, as usual, the story in the 1990s ended with a much better hook: the survivors' cabin in the middle of the night, leaving them without a shelter.

The apparent arson suspect was coach Ben Scott (Steven Krueger). He spent all season 2 in a spiral, refusing to participate in cannibalism like He tried and failed to bury in a world of dreams. His abdication of responsibility for children only made the girls independent (and frightening). After finding an underground cave to hide, Ben decided he would not wait around to become the next meal. When he returned to the cabin to steal some matchesHe saw the girls crowned Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) - a girl who considered better/more moral than others - like (Antler) Queen of their cult.

The obvious conclusion of the viewer, and also seems to be the yellow pockets that Ben was so disgusting of their devolution that they burned their cabin to kill everyone. It was a logical jump but Just Open enough for doubt. It is possible that the writers of "Yelloweljak" themselves did not do one way or another, wanting to leave the opportunities open for season 3.

Based on the premiere of Yelloweljak Season 3 ("IT Girl" and "Dislocation"), it seems that writers have chosen to make Ben Nevin. When he enters Marie (Alexa Bariaas), who fell into the pit and sprayed his leg, he appears real shocked when he tells him that the cabin burned. He could lie, of course, but then he took him hostage Marie instead of just killing her. If he had already decided to kill the girls, why would he hesitate to kill Marie now?

A banned conspiracy, "Yellowolytiki" is so obvious. But is it a choice on the right track?

I'm a little disappointed with the show's choice to let Ben out of the hook. It is one of the strangest characters to this point, yes, but the whole theme of "Yellowelkkequets" is how your extreme conditions will cost your civilized mankind. He finally turned on the children as a logical end point of his story to that point. Before the Season 2 of the Yelloweleikcetti is over, Krueger teases (up to TV Insider) that Ben's bow was referring to isolation and despair:

"(Ben) feels like there are some points of community with Natalie (...), but at the end of the day, Ben is still on the island and I think he is going through a lot of this season starting to realize that he can't to believe anything From these girls. "

Turning Ben from the heart of the show into a compromised villain would be completely understandable, and the way the "storytelling" seems to have chosen to do so was Dark. He burned the cabin was half -defended, half a fraudster mercy that kills girls has become too dehumanized to continue living.

If Ben is not trying to actively hurt the girls, just stay away from them, then it robs this season of chance of switching from the famous conflicts into character in playing with cats and mice. (The original synopsis "Yellowolnings" Teasing that survivors will become "warring clans" in the desert, the point we have not yet reached.)

In addition, by skipping the last weeks of winter, the Yellowjackets Season 3 begins with the girls being adapted to a place of relative comfort. Van (Liv Hyson) recalls the girls kept fire in the cabin for 12 days, using it for heat, but we do not Look that. Jump I Made after "storytelling" was that the loss of the cabin and the fight to survive in winter would push the yellow pockets even more in savagery. Instead, they seem to have returned to a more humane place. They built a civilization with their own customs and rituals, but still feels like the show keeps brutality.

Well, there are eight episodes this season, so I may sing a different tune to my end.

The Yellowelikers are broadcast on Showtime and moving to Paramount+ with Showtime.
