It's 5:30 in the morning and I just finished watching
"Ernest Scared Stupid" and maybe it's the Knob Creek talking, but I think I just had an epiphany.
At the end of the movie, when the troll goes all Super Saiyan and starts throwing fire around, there's a weird montage where Ernest reacts to the troll with hate and anger and the crowd of townsfolk (good in nature) chants in slow motion for Ernest to kill the troll (evil thoughts) and the troll just laughs at him, seeming to grow stronger with the hate, then Ernest suddenly stops and thinks about an underlying theme to the movie, unconditional love. And in the face of certain death and an army of angry townsfolk, he casts away his only weapon and instead fights back against something he hates with love and ultimately, that transition and change to his way of thinking, is the only thing that allows him (good) to triumph over the troll (evil).
Evil of any sort, grows stronger with hatred, darkness & despair, the only way to truly combat it, is to overwhelm it with love and positivity.
