Annihilation And Decoding Metaphor

I just recently ran across this Folding Ideas piece on Annihilation, which serves as a mild teardown of the slew of "explainer" videos out there trying to tackle the film in an overly simplistic way and as an explainer itself, walking you through the metaphor of the film, not the literal plot.

I know I'm late to the party on this as it was released in October of 2018 but, hey, sometimes you just stumble on something that is properly timeless. Take 20 minutes of your day and give this your full attention.
