Doubt in plot section of The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

Sentence: Lorraine is threatened by the occultist and she tells Ed that the connection works both ways.

What does "both ways" refer to? Rizosome (talk) 05:36, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If I remember correctly, she could see and affect the occultist, and vice versa. The vice versa came as a surprise. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:10, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, Lorraine has a psychic connection with the occultist, so that she experiences what the occultist experiences. They then realize that the occultist likewise experiences what Lorraine experiences (and thereby knows their identities). --Lambiam 14:26, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I think this was the worst of the Conjuring-verse films. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:18, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can we type in the synopsis that a character is dumb?(2601:646:8501:9E60:141D:FA7A:385B:8CBC (talk) 14:32, 18 July 2021 (UTC)).[reply]

In the right context, sure. See for example Dumb and Dumber ("dimwitted") and Forrest Gump ("low intelligence"). Assuming you didn't mean "mute". Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:15, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I thought We can Only type Dat person Is dumb Only if people In Episod Specificaly said “Person Is Dumb”?(2601:646:8501:9E60:8C81:1E17:C3FB:9D7D (talk) 16:11, 18 July 2021 (UTC)).[reply]

The real criterion, if there is any possibility of the labelling being challenged, is whether the character is described as such in reliable sources. If one character in a work of fictions says of another character that they are dumb, it is not more than the opinion of a fictional character whose judgement may be questionable. The term "dumb" is ambiguous and may be offensive to people with impaired hearing or speech; it is better to use a different term. --Lambiam 19:31, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Specificaly if Person is Cald “Dumb” in Any Episod, then Can We writ In Synopsis “Person is Dumb”?(2601:646:8501:9E60:99B:A44B:3CF3:9CF0 (talk) 20:11, 18 July 2021 (UTC)).[reply]

What if the person who called the other person "dumb" was lying (or had some sort of Sheldon/Leonard relationship)? Again, context. Is it very relevant for the plot that they were called dumb? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:32, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

😡 Dats Wat Im asking If Nobody says Dat Person is Dumb, then (Is it Wrong to Writ in Synopsis dat Person is Dumb)?(Carlos435435434 (talk) 22:26, 18 July 2021 (UTC)).[reply]

Yes, that would be wrong. See No original research. --Lambiam 07:39, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Acording to Synopsis, does Anyone agre Dat (Sarah, Max, Paulie r Dumb)?(Carlos435435434 (talk) 14:43, 20 July 2021 (UTC)).[reply]

Fandom is an entirely different website than Wikipedia, and the content there has no relation here. Furthermore, as a user-edited site, information there cannot be used as an appropriate source for things written in a Wikipedia article. --Jayron 32 15:22, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Even if Someone agres With Me dat (Sarah, Max, Paulie r Dumb), how Is it Stil Wrong to Writ in Synopsis “Sarah, Max, & Paulie r Dumb”?(Carlos435435434 (talk) 16:53, 21 July 2021 (UTC)).[reply]

It depends on who the "Someone" is. And whether they can spell. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:41, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
