More specifically, OJ stared it down after it was already wounded and going into threat display. It viewed him as actually dangerous to it, but he was also backing away while staring, so it wasn't backed into a corner and didn't lash out.

It was intimidated by the balloon, something roughly its own size, as well, but the balloon kept approaching even during the threat display so it attacked.


Well, that and both OJ and Em were trying to attract it's attention to let the other escape, and OJ finally gives in and lets Em take the lead wrangling her own Jean Jacket, calling back to when their father took that opportunity away from her. The scene was much more of a 'I trust you / you got this' between brother and sister than forcing Jean Jacket to back down.

That honestly was a pretty disturbing scene since it's likely a PTSD coping mechanism to think about a crappy Chris Kattan sketch rather than talking about the actual horror of the event itself. Steve Yuen just knocks it out in every scene.

Origin thoughts - if Jean Jacket's species is actually extraterrestrial it would make a lot of sense for it to have come from one of the gas giants. A big flying jellyfish that hides in clouds would fit right in - and wouldn't even necessarily be the apex predator in that sort of environment.

Yeah Holst is representative of the ultimate hollowness of the fame that Em is seeking - he flat out tells her "That dream you have? Of getting to the top of the mountain? It's the one that I can never wake from." He's an acclaimed, award-winning cinematographer who's filming a green screen commercial for an aging country star/actress because there are no more mountains for him to climb, he's reached the top of his field and there's nothing there and no way back down.

At the ranch he realizes in that moment that even if he achieves the impossible shot, it will just leave him stuck on an even higher peak, and decides to go out at the top.

Some pretty funny jump scares-
The mantis jumping in front of the camera (and having the audience likely react the same way emerald did).

And the plastic horse head inexplicably crashing through the windshield of OJs truck.
