That house with the zombie goasts that he blows up? It was the one he sold his soul to keep. It all makes sense now. Rather than being the actions of a madman trying to save his brother, as written by a guy trying to write the worst fanfic ever, Mr. Freeman's destructive impulses become deeply poignant attempts to erase his tragic and impoverished past.
Re: The Illuminati. Let's assume that they do exist and they use the all-seeing eye and all these symbols everyone thinks they do. If they want to remain a secret cabal (which would probably be more effective in their plan to take over the world - good luck with that anyway), then why do they feel they have to put their symbols everywhere they can? Why do they tell the outrageously famous entertainers under their employ to use them whenever they can, if they're trying to stay under the radar? More importantly, if nobody knows what they mean because they're a secret society, what does it matter if they use them or not?
The only plausible scenario I can see is a 20th Century Boys-type thing. In that series, the antagonist is using a mysterious symbol, much like people think the Illuminati/Freemasons/whatever is doing. Except for the handful of people who created it (who are also the people who can stop him), everyone else just considers it to be just another logo. However, Friend uses the logo to trap our heroes
because they know what it means, and they're following it around to stop him. Last time I checked, the people who know about the possible connotations of the symbols people on the Internet yell and scream about aren't being tracked down and eliminated, so the analogy falls apart. At least, so far.
We are loved even though we suck.
