@lety@doesstuff.social I'm not so sure about this read tbh. We're told Jinu never participated in attacking the human world before, so it seems reasonable to assume the demons that do are choosing to do violence. they steal peoples' souls. we are also lead to believe that the way people become demons is through a willingness to put themselves over others. jinu's receptiveness to gwi-ma could well be connected to his willingness to abandon his family. this is a lot of maybes, but the film isn't about the demons

@lety@doesstuff.social the film is pretty clear that jinu and rumi are not inherently evil and neither is beyond salvation. the golden honmoon is also never created, so the demons are unlikely to be forever imprisoned. i think the movie doesn't investigate the demon society or their issues much beyond jinu, because that's not what the film wishes to focus on. i agree this leads to some negative implications, but i don't agree that lack of focus means the morals are bad exactly
