MICHALECOLE 06/10/18 2:10:28 AM #1:	Between the afterlife, the handbook of the recently deceased, the sand worms, and beetle juice himself, it seems like there was a huge backstory that is just never explained. Im watching it right now and beetle juice says he lived through the bubonic plague, which (looking it up on google) says it was the 6th century, in the 1300s. So was he alive then? Or is he some kind of god/demon? I would love to pick the brain of Tim burton about this in particular. Im sure he had the whole story in his brain at one time. Or maybe not, and he was just making shit up as he went. Either way, it would make for a great tv show, now that tv is amazing <cite>MICHALECOLE posted [p:902877205] in Beetle jui...

The first recorded epidemic of the Black Death / Bubonic Plague was in Europe during the 6th Century. The disease truly became pandemic in 1328 - the medieval period of the history of the world. During this period a third of the world population died. No I just drunked it up. <cite>MICHALECOLE posted [p:902877546] in Beetle jui...

Not everything needs explanation. This. The vast majority of the time, the backstory is better left being mysterious rather than trying to fill it in and explain it. Darth Vader's character was ruined by the prequel trilogy. Hannibal Lector was best when we didn't know his childhood history. Prometheus' origin for the Xenomorph Aliens was lame. So on and so on. Sometimes the mysterious is best left just remaining mysterious and unexplained. <cite>rogerskg1979 posted [p:902885355] in Beetle jui...
