History Headscratchers / Unfriended

**** Yeag, but that still doesn't make sense, even if we assume she was out for revenge. Sure, he was probably part of making fun of her, and did talk about her deserving to die, but it's implied that all the others did something directly to Laura (such as Val's rejection of taking the video down, Jess defaced her grave, Mitchell uploaded the video, Blair originally recorded it, only excluding Adam, who was not a very good person, since he roofied a girl and slept with his best friend's girlfriend), and it's implied that Laura was a bully as well, and could be assumed she bullied Ken. A bullied person would not have good feelings towards the bully, so it makes sense he didn't like her. He was probably not her friend. So Ken seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time more than an actual motivated death.

* Why doesn't Laura just kill the kids right from the start? Does she have to play with her victims like a cat and a mouse? As an aspect of Wrath, she knows all their dirty secrets. She knows what each and every one of them was responsible for. Why even bother with the "Never Have I Ever" game? If she already knows what they did, then the winner of the game is entirely arbitrary and it just makes Blaire a dirty cheater.

** Hope against reason. Maybe there is one chance in a billion that she doesn't know that. So it's OK to deny everything, maybe one of the other will take the blame. Maybe if I can convince me I did nothing she will believe it too ...

* Why would everyone won't confess on who uploaded the video even though Laura demonstrated that she knows ALL of their secrets.

* Why bother with the attempts to deny culpability when Laura clearly is capable of knowing secrets?

** This Troper's theory is that Blaire realized that after each person tried to call the cops they automatically died. So rather than directly call the cops, Blaire tried to call the cops by proxy.

* Why did Blaire try to get help by going on chatroulette? Admittedly, it did (sort of) work, but why would that be her first thought?

*** But after clicking refresh, Blaire DID unfriend Laura, which set much of the movies' events in motion. Why she didn't go straight for the "report/block" choice is beyond me.

** If Laura could stop Blaire from unfriending her, she could just as easily stop Blaire from blocking or reporting her.

** In short nothing to deserve being murdered.

* Why didn't Blaire just block Laura's profile? The "Report;/Block" button was right above the "Unfriend" button.

* Isn't it weird that these kids hang around each other in the first place? Blair, Adam, and Mitch especially, what with Blair obviously being the least trustworthy friend. They obviously don't care that much for her in the first place, why do they bother being friends?

** In short nothing to deserve being murdered.

*** Val messaged Laura that she should kill herself before she died. As for Ken, it was suggested that all of the people in the chat had made facebook sock puppets to pick on her, he was almost certainly part of that. Beyond that, all of them were all fair-weather friends who failed to show her any support when she needed them.

** Ken also stated that he thought Laura deserved to die, rather nonchalantly on the anniversary of her death, and considering that everyone, or at least Blaire, thought that Val would be the type to hack a Laura's account for a prank, she probably wasn't one of Laura's favorite people ever.

** Precisely that. "Laura clearly said if you leave or try to get help you will die."

* What did each of the kids do? The final characters were obviously no saints, but what did Ken or Val do beyond simply try to escape the chat session? What earned their doom?
