Death comes to all: intensification of capitalism in the late twentieth century

The objective of this work is to discuss the discursive modification spawned in the beginning of the 1990' s, after the breakup of the communist bloc and the rise of apologies defending the capitalistic victory, starting from the transformation occurred in the forms of representation concerning filmic monsters. For doing so, the apologetic discourse towards capitalism by Francis Fukuyama (1992) is presented, with the purpose of balancing the composition of Jason Vorhees, from the Friday the 13th series (1981; 1982; 1984), against Death in Final destination (2000), and how they also affect their victims' reactions. The main conclusion in this text is that, at the end of the analysis, the ubiquity, naturalness and inevitability of the 1990' s assassin present themselves in consonance with the victory of capital as professed by Fukuyama, signaling off an exaggerated forfeiting.
