Line #47 WMG/Juno - TV Tropes


1	[[WMG:Juno is an older version of Haley from Film/HardCandy.]]
2	She dresses in red, has a noose scene (what better way to off herself than the way she offed the pedophile, to balance the universe), and sees "meat swords" whenever guys run by. Plus, we never found out Haley's real name, and both characters are clearly very dominating and insightful. If nothing else this makes the movie much funnier.
3
4	[[WMG:Juno is a ''younger'' version of Haley from Film/HardCandy.]]
5	As an alternative to to one above, Haley's the older version (she could have been lying about her age), and Juno, suffering from horrible post-partum depression and traumatized by Mark Loring's inappropriate feelings towards her, decides to go after pedophiles.
6	* Or, if you're one of the three people who saw it, Tracey from the ''Film/TheTraceyFragments'' could fill in for Juno here. She's obviously on the verge of going AxeCrazy.
7
8	[[WMG: Mark is Paulie Bleeker's real father.]]
9	He had a relationship with Paulie's mom before she married, anything from a fairly serious one which was broken off to a one-night stand, before Paulie's "dad" entered the picture...
10
11	[[WMG: Mark and Paulie are of course Michael and George Michael from Series/{{Arrested Development}}]]
12	Michael and George Michael took a wrong turn at Albuquerque on the way to Cabo in the series finale and wound up in ....Montana was it? They decided to take on new identities and went there separate ways. The rest of the Bluths, desperate for Michael's help, sent a certain reporter to track them down...
13	* Minnesota, actually. Mark and Vanessa live in St. Cloud.

16
17	[[WMG: Juno is Shadowcat before her mutant powers develop]]
18	Her father is of course related to J Jonah Jameson.
19
20	[[WMG: Paulie and Juno are [[ComicBook/XMen Shadowcat's]] parents]]
21	It's well-established that Kitty Pryde was raised Jewish, and Paulie probably is as well (see AmbiguouslyJewish example). Juno will probably convert after they get married. They'll be forced to change their family name to "Pryde" to protect themselves when Juno's first baby turns out to be a mutant and tries to get revenge on Juno for abandoning him. Kitty will join the ComicBook/XMen to get the training that she needs to defeat her evil brother.
22
23	[[WMG: Juno is Junie B. Jones, all grown up]]
24	[[http://teachers.greenville.k12.sc.us/sites/mhygema/Ms%20Hygemas%20Pictures/junie_b_jones.gif It's]] [[http://fataculture.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/juno_l.jpg totally true.]] Juno went by Junie when she was a kid and took the name [=MacGuff=] when her father remarried Bren. Even as a child she displayed the same penchant for quirkiness, making up language, pulling off Zany Schemes, and being independent.
25
26	[[WMG: Paulie was going to bring condoms, but chose to forget about them to impress Juno.]]
27	Okay, the wording on that's a little awkward (seen this movie five times and I ''still'' can't figure out whose house they did it at). But long story short: Paulie knew that Juno wanted to have sex that night. Being the good part-time lover/full-time friend he is, he was going to bring the appropriate contraceptives, but figured Juno would like it if he didn't. She would probably have teased him if he did bring them (what kind of virgin weenie is into being safe?) WordOfGod states that Juno was ''not'' a virgin when she had sex with Paulie. Having it like, seven times with another guy might have given her the confidence that falling pregnant would not happen just one time with a newbie. Obviously, [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin that plan failed miserably.]] It would also explain why the "ButWeUsedACondom" counter argument was so weirdly averted.
28	* The sex happened at Juno's house, right? In the start of the movie, Juno is standing outside drinking Sunny D, staring at the chair that she and Paulie...you know. We know she's not at Paulie's house, because she later takes that chair over to Paulie's front lawn.
29	** I always assumed it was at Paulie's house. She's staring at ''a'' chair, yes, but there's no proof that it's ''the'' chair. Although I haven't seen the movie in a while, the way I saw it was that she was walking around the neighborhood drinking Sunny D while she waited for the need to pee so she could get a test, and on her walk she spotted a yard sale, and, seeing some of the items sitting on the lawn, decided that they would be a good way to break the pregnancy to Paulie. Because, you know, that's the way Juno thinks. In my in mind the yard sale lady told her that if she came by later and the chair hadn't been sold, she could have it as long as she had the means to get it all off the lawn. I could be crazy, though.

31	[[WMG: Juno's stepmother is the Island Matriarch from Lost.]]
32	After the events in Juno, her stepmother was called by the Island, then still under the control of Jacob, who recognized his own stepmother. But during her "accidental" travel to the island, she was caught in a time travel phenomenon and ended up in the distant past, where she had to take up the position of keeper of the Island. She went insane because of missing her husband and daughter and stepdaughter, and because of not having pet dogs. When she found the pregnant mother of Jacob and MIB in 'Across the Sea' it was all too much because of the memories it brought back, and she finally totally snapped, with the consequences we all know.
33
34	[[WMG: Mark was actually the father of Juno's child]]
35
36	Mark and Juno were having a inappropriate relationship long before they 'first meet', when she decided against abortion she told him she was planing on coming out in the open about them. Mark knowing his barren wife wanted kids and than his [[SarcasmMode dreams of rockdom would never happen]] if came out he was an {{Ephebophile}} suggested the adoption ruse as cover. Juno seems like enough of an tool to hook up with Paulie simply for PlausibleDeniability.
37
38	[[WMG: The Lorings aren't naturally infertile.]]
39
40	It seems in character that Mark "I want to be a rockstar" Loring would have had a vasectomy (wouldn't want a girlfriend getting pregnant and ruining his music career).
41
42	[[WMG: Juno's son's life is going to blow.]]
43
44	[[WMG: One day, Juno's son will want to meet his real mother.]]
45
46	[[WMG: Juno's son and Vanessa will be fine.]]
47	Single moms raise kids that turn out just fine all the time. And there's no reason Vanessa won't meet someone else. Besides, the kid's probably ''much'' better off with a mother that wanted him than with a mother that wanted him who was married to someone who ''didn't'' want him, and would inevitably begin to resent him. Not to mention Vanessa and Mark's marriage would probably cause more of a strain on the kid's life than Vanessa being single would. Vanessa and the baby are both better off without him.
48
49	Along those lines, "single mother" isn't a homogeneous category. The reasons why single mothers have worse outcomes on average are incredibly complex; it's not "take the second parent out of the house and the baby's hopes for the future suddenly plummet". Vanessa has a lot going for her; a job, a house, financial stability. She'll do fine.
50
51	...What? [[SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers Keep your]] JadeColoredGlasses [[SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers away from me!]]
52
53	[[WMG: Juno isn't the first teenager Mark has had an inappropriate relationship with during his relationship with Vanessa.]]
54	It's why Vanessa seems unsettled by their being alone together from the beginning.
