I think they could've made the bus scene a little clearer in that case. I'm fine with that in concept but either the editing or acting failed that scene big time. I think if I remember correctly the bus driver doesn't even have any dialogue when he leaves the bus, like a simple "what was that?" could've sufficed.
And I do get the morality aspect of it, for sure, but I think it would've been better if the girl who was actually upset went with them in the ambulance, then. A simple role reversal would've been perfect, then you just have the chef discover the deed or something instead.
And the whole school shooting backstory was unnecessary and not fleshed out enough to be a commentary on anything. Like it mostly feels like it's just there to be shocking which is pretty gross honestly.
To me, even if you can justify some of the character actions, I just think the film didn't have much of a plot to it and things just happened so Leatherface could have some bloody kills.
