Beware the quiet ones
Photo: Paul Sarkis/SHOWTIME When we think of the scariest teen-movie archetype, most of us picture a cruel, spoiled hottie. The quick wit of Regina George; the dark hair and bloody teeth of Megan Fox in Jennifer’s Body; the synchronized quips of the Heathers. It’s often the mean, popular bullies who carry the most power, and the outcasts who rise up to defeat them are the righteous heroines, even if their methods are questionable.
Played by Sammi Hanratty in ’96 and Christina Ricci in the present, Misty is a mouse with a serial killer’s temperament lurking beneath blonde curls. With big, ’90s glasses even in the present and a tiny, five-foot frame, she doesn’t seem capable of very much damage. It’s there that her real power lies. In the group, she’s an outsider, mocked for being a nerd. But in the woods, the same things that make her a weirdo make her necessary.
“I think what she wants is to return to a time when she was valued, accepted, and had some social currency,” Ricci said of her character in a recent interview. “Because, in our culture, a woman like this really doesn’t have any! When they were stranded, I think that was probably the greatest time of her life. So she’s just sort of biding her time, waiting for something like that to happen again for her.” That desperation to be needed again runs like a raw electrical wire through adult Misty.
Of course, not one of the Yellowjackets is squeaky clean, and in both 1996 and the present they maintain an aura of uncertainty that carries the show as we work to understand who is to “blame” for certain aspects of the trip’s downfall and their survival — what it took to live and what the crash took away from them. It would be so boring if any one of them were an easy victim, without a tarnished track record in both the past and present.
