OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
Death Becomes Her Makes Beauty a Body Contract
The body comedy works because beauty is written as a contract with maintenance clauses. Immortality solves status anxiety by creating a worse production problem.
Why it works
The potion scene and aftermath make image literal: bodies crack, twist, and require repair while social performance continues. Vanity becomes procedural body horror with jokes.
