    Me when a fire ant bit me as akid, but sans the remorse and god complex. To me it was a war, and to be honest I don’t think I ever won.

    He sees the ants sacrifice to him and gets angry.

    Jealous doesn’t seem to be the correct word.

      Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought it read weird.

      Yeah, like, at first I thought they were sacrificing to a false god through the effigy, but then I saw it’s definitely him with the hose, clearly they are sacrificing to Hose God. I mean, good lesson for them, I guess? No sacrifices, it angers the Hose God. But I don’t see jealousy…

      “Jealous” implies that he wanted to be the ant executioner.

      I guess it could mean “only I get to decide who lives or dies” but it seems strange for him to say that and then kill them all.

      They kinda just meant “a wrathful god, strong in anger” or something.

        From this perspective, killing them all would be a typical punishment for religious mythologies.

        He, as Hose God, gets to decide who lives and dies and, being jealous that the Executioner took it up on themselves to “play god”, the boy, role-playing as a venge deity, enacted collective punishment upon them all.

        Sounds like your typical Bible or Greek myth

      I watched this movie repeatedly as a child and now I know why I’m the way I am.
