Perfect evil does not smirk or take pleasure in things. It may use that to spread, but the goal is complete destruction of all things and an overwhelming hatred for everything, including itself. Pop evil is a pretentious imagining of evil, usually just showing humans with low empathy and high levels of cruelty. That's not true evil, its just a human pretending to be cool.

It's funny that despite how powerful Flagg is, he is limited. He gets embarrassed and insulted when the old dude laughs at him in the Jail Cell, and makes Lloyd shoot him. I think that Flagg actually could not kill the three himself. I think that the symbolic thing here is that they were protected by God and Flagg really could not touch them himself. That's why he had to have others do it for him. Throughout this movie, no matter how powerful he seems to be, he is basically powerless against the Boulder Colorado people.

Seems like Flagg is not in fact the Devil, but just a minion or spawn of him. He's described in the early parts of the novel as just a faceless "man" who can suddenly do magic and all that, and might have been around for various evil events in the past. Who was he before that? Why was he chosen? One wonders. But he's not all-powerful, of course. The question of why he cannot even foresee Trashcan Man going out to get the biggest fire of all, is never answered. Flagg would know the weapons are out there. Flagg has massive blind spots. Why? I know he shows up as other antagonists in various other King works including The Gunslinger books, but I don't think he's really The Devil per se in any. That would be too pat, too easy.
@thiscorrosion900
Жыл бұрын
if God is looking out for Larry and the others, why does he let them die in Vegas? Of course he spares Tom and Stuart. King's ending is muddled to say the least, although of course it's totally apocalyptic and that's what the novel is, ultimately, both post and pre-. Bateman laughs at Flagg like he's some impotent joker. If Flagg's "daddy" is so great, why has he made him so weak with so many chinks in his armour? He fails in his evil mission. It doesn't make any sense but it makes for a good book and movie. Or maybe the point is that those with faith need to sacrifice themselves to accomplish Flagg's destruction (but that depends on Trashy's return to Vegas with the bomb). So, the novel's suggesting it's everyone's fate, and you cannot escape it. That's my take on it. I first read this novel in 1978 grabbing the Signet paperback of it, and it scared the fucking shit out of me. And I am not religious in any way. The problem watching this or reading it now in 2023 is, I don't believe in religion still, even more so than years ago, and the Hand of God thing is just pretentious codswallop as far as I'm concerned, hokum. Give me a break. God could have smote Vegas and Flagg at any time ahead of that moment. If HE'S so powerful!! What a load of shit! But yeah, it otherwise makes for a gripping novel and film. I wouldn't analyze it too much, though. It doesn't hold up unless you're a total religious fanatic.

The Following is the words from the book that go with this scene it is sheer poetry : He was behind the wheel of a long, dirty electric cart. The cart's heavy-duty bank of batteries was nearly drained dry. The cart was humming and buzzing and lurching. Trashcan Man bobbed back and forth on the open seat like a mad marionette. He was in the last stages of radiation sickness. His hair was gone. His arms, poking out of the tatters of his shirt, were covered with open running sores. His face was a cratered red soup from which one desert-faded blue eye peered with a terrible, pitiful intelligence. His teeth were gone. His nails were gone. His eyelids were frayed flaps. He looked like a man who had diven his electric cart out of the dark and burning subterranean mouth of hell itself. Flagg watched him come, frozen. His smile was gone. His high, rich color was gone. His face was suddenly a window made of pale clear glass. Trashcan Man's voice bubbled ecstatically up from his thin chest: "I brought it . . . I brought you the fire . . . please. . . I'm sorry . . ." It was Lloyd who moved. He took one step forward, then another. "Trashy . . . Trash, baby . . ." His voice was a croak. That single eye moved, painfully seeking Lloyd out. "Lloyd? That you?" "It's me, Trash." Lloyd was shaking violently all over, the way Whitney had been shaking. "Hey, what you got there? Is it--" "It's the Big One," Trash said happily. "It's the A-bomb." He began to rock back and forth on the seat of the electric cart like a convert at a revival meeting. "The A-bomb, the Big One, the big fire, my life for you!" . "Take it away, Trash," Lloyd whispered. "It's dangerous. It's . . . it's hot. Take it away . . ." "Make him get rid of it, Lloyd," the dark man who was now the pale man whined. "Make him take it back where he got it. Make him--" Trashcan's one operative eye grew puzzled. "Where is he?" he asked, and then his voice rose to an agonized howl. "Where is he? He's gone! Where is he? What did you do to him? Lloyd made one last supreme effort. "Trash, you've got to get rid of that thing. You--" And suddenly Ralph shrieked: "Larry! Larry! The Hand of God!" Ralph's face was transported in a terrible joy. His eyes shone. He was pointing into the sky. Larry looked up. He saw the ball of electricity Flagg had flicked from the end of his finger. It had grown to a tremendous size. It hung in the sky, jittering toward Trashcan Man, giving off sparks like hair. Larry realized dimly that the air was now so full of electricity that every hair on his own body was standing on end. And the thing in the sky did look like a hand. "Noooo!" the dark man wailed. Larry looked at him . . . but Flagg was no longer there. He had a bare impression of something monstrous standing in front of where Flagg had been. Something slumped and hunched and almost without shape-something with enormous yellow eyes slit by dark cat's pupils. Then it was gone. Larry saw Flagg's clothes--the jacket, the jeans, the bootsstanding upright with nothing in them. For a split second they held the shape of the body that had been inside them. And then they collapsed. The crackling blue fire in the air rushed at the yellow electric cart that Trashcan Man had somehow driven back from the Nellis Range. He had lost hair and thrown up blood and finally vomited out his own teeth as the radiation sickness sank deeper and deeper into him, yet he had never faltered in his resolve to bring it back to the dark man . . . you could say that he had never flagged in his determination. The blue ball of fire flung itself into the back of the cart, seeking what was there, drawn to it. "Oh shit we're all fucked!" Lloyd Henreid cried. He put his hands over his head and fell to his knees. Oh God, thank God, Larry thought. I will fear no evil, I will f Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.

The fact that Flagg put his trust in so many mentally unstable and plain old stupid people showed just how incompetent he was. Trashcan man was literally an arson loving schizophrenic. Nadine (according to the movie version) was a pill popping, nervous wreck. The two men who were ordered to stop the Judge were trigger happy and ended up messing up the plan by shooting the judge in the face. Most people in Flagg's camp were ansty and emotionally damaged, and Flagg cooked his own goose. I see him as the extra, extra, extra evil version of Loki, he causes chaos, throws hissy fits and has a need to be seen. He literally let a man with a lust for blowing things up work around nuclear bombs...and lo and behold, not only did Trash, off impulse due to his schizophrenia, blow up the planes Flagg was using to nuke the Free Zone, but he also bought the most dangerous nuke to the middle of Las Vegas in attempt to win Flagg over from his mistake...which God used to destroy the city. Just goes to show that evil aides to its own destruction. He literally was outdone by God, who had used some of the most seemingly regular people: a drifting deaf-mute, a farmer, a singer, a widower, a mentally challenged man with the mind and pure heart of a three year old, a retired Judge, a retired professor, a dog, and most of all, a tiny little old lady, who at a 106 was still making her own bread.

He left that to Lloyd--by far his most competent minion. With Trashy, all Flagg did was spam his dreams with visions of burning everything, then left Lloyd with the thankless task of integrating him into Vegas. Indeed, I would say the only reason Vegas worked as well as it did was due to Lloyd...and he started out as a two-bit hood with no impulse control.

What makes no sense, and I thought this since I first read the abridged book in 1980, is why did Glen, Larry and Ralph have to die? They are "sent West", Stu gets a pass by breaking his leg so Tom can find him and escort him safely back to Fran, the other 3 end up in Vegas. It was never clear what they are expected to do, so you are waiting for some divine deus ex purpose and something they actually DO that resolves things a purpose. But no, they get captured and banged up. Glen gets shot in his cell. Larry and Ralph get taken out for execution. Then Trash turns up with the missile and blows the town up killing Flagg and all the "evil" people. Which would have happened anyway. So why did they have to go West just to die in the bomb blast with the baddies? Them being there did nothing to make Trash turn up with the bomb. They died for nothing. Same with the 3 "scouts"- the judge and her who just went there and got killed, they didn't learn anything or bring anything back. Tom got out alive, finds Stu, then the bomb goes off. The whole point of the exercise was what? Five got sent there to die for nothing. All they had to do was to stay in the Frees one, and Trash turns up with he bomb and blows up Vegas. Problem takes care of itself. This is the one thing that always bugged me about this great book and it's film.

I had the same feeling after finishing the book this week, although mine was the unabridged version so I don't know what was cut from yours. I'd say they needed someone to be executed there, which was the straw that broke the camel's back for Whitney and why he found the courage to speak against Flagg. Flagg killed him with his blue fireball for that, which would then later ignite the bomb, that the Trashcan man brought into town. It's a chain of events that was only possible due to the planned execution, because otherwise, they would've just killed Trashcan man when he showed up, and gotten rid of the bomb without detonating it. But that still doesn't explain why it had to be all three of them: Glenn, Larry and Ralph. Larry would've been enough as he was the main guy to talk to the crowd (even though I wanted him to die the least as he was my favourite character). Ralph did absolutely nothing and all Glenn did was increase Flagg's mental instability, which I THOUGHT would lead to something, but it actually didn't. Maybe he just went with them so Kojak had a reason to join them on their journey, so that he later could stay with Stu and save his life. But yeah, Ralph being there was absolutely pointless. The three scouts, provided they were even part of the "divine plane" so to speak, were effective by making Flagg become unstable and therefore resulted in his followers, most of all Whitney, having second thoughts about him: the botched assassination on the Judge, Dana's unexpected suicide before she could tell him about Tom, and his complete inability to "see" Tom. All of these were failures that called his power into question and made him vulnerable. Sidenote: Am I the only one who thought that Fran was a really annoying character at times?

actually one could extrapolate from the text of the book that randall knew his spell could interact that way with the bomb. which is why he freaked out, as knowledgeable as he clearly was. those sorts of ordinances require specific arming stages to occur that happen in flight or during the drop. in theory it could be detonated by someone tinkering with it long enough, but that would take time and be easy to stop. unless, say, a spell was drawn to the atomic energy and made it go off via magic.

In hindsight, it is masterpiece compared to the hot mess of the 2020 version. Though I did prefer Alexander Skarsgard to Jamie Sheridan as Flagg. When I read the book, I pictured a young Harry Dean Stanton as Flagg.

I’ve seen this ending brought up when people say King can’t write endings, but I actually like this one. It fits with the imagery and themes presented in the book, but I was more surprised that it was foreshadowed early on. When Stu meets Glen and Kojak, Glen gives a scenario of two cities, one diplomatic, one a dictatorship, and he says that if one city has technical know-how and the other doesn’t, then they’ll war with each other, maybe nukes would be involved. It’s a lot better in the book than I’m doing justice, but this ending was set up and is a pretty good payoff.

*The Angelic Powers* “To Own the World in Cause and Battles” What is transcendence, really? How does one transcend another person or persons? Transcendence is any act that puts a person’s perspective high above another’s thereby reducing them to an easily controlled body. This can be done by any means that achieves this goal. One begins to see the other or others as animals or demons or unevolved oafs. The most common is the deliberate memorization of esoteric information such as through physically high places such as Celestial bodies or figuratively high places such as historical antiquity or science, mathematics, engineering, religion, or self defense and wartime strategies. Information is the most common strategy in transcendence but it can also be achieved through planning and formality in presentation, the arts, music, or rhetoric. Any work that provides transcendental perspective is considered both sacred and held secretively by the world. Transcendence is especially important in avoiding spiritual possession and communication. Transcendence usually requires daily exercise. It’s like a sword on your throat while you lay on the ground helpless. When God states he is the “Most High” or says “Let there be light” He means transcendental control. The awful truth is that humanity set up religion completely with theoretical gods and God and took their places in human forms. They were aware of the possibility of a true God born of the Celestial by which He would come in darkness for all things to serve Him. They believed so much in their system of political control they meant to bury Him and seize power. They knew they were busted and moved on to claim absolute rebellion and evil. They actually had to gall to think the real God would start an army like Hitler and try to man posts. No. You’ll man them and serve from them. That’s not how this works. The world is known for rebellion against the real God and embracing evil only. The real God does not love people or serve them, resurrect them or judge them. He’s here to reap of the world what He sees fit and play the game like He wishes. I don’t care if humanity wars. They’re Heaven is reincarnation and some old Greek books. Lol😮. The world will become an Earthly Hell. You’re not allowed God here. Get used to it. It’s a slow, slow machine. Be warned! -Horus R. Guile V

My issues with this scene are, #1. Do you think they used enough dryer vent on the "nuclear" bomb exhaust? #2. The girl screaming "He's got a bomb!" Should get at least one award for overacting. #3. In the book, the little ball of energy that Flagg shoots from his finger was more terrifying. #4. Again in the book they were going to have cars pulling them apart. I guess 2 Harbor Freight boat winches, (not that I have anything against them, I have one on my old trailer, cost $12.99 ) and a black hooded guy turning the little ratchets is cheaper. Just MHO. I didn't like what they cut and had to adept for the movie. There were several mistakes in the book, but shooting the movie in Salt Lake City, when it was supposed to be Boulder CO. really ticked off the people in Mr. Stephen King old stomping grounds.

Something along the lines of ''God descends, kills Flagg and then raises the good to Heaven and the bad to Hell.'' But then again, I guess that would make other plot elements pointless, like Fran's baby or the Free Zone meetings. But while I was disappointed by the climax, I still feel this book was an amazing journey and is worthy of the praise it's given.
