While MaXXXine references X and Pearl many times, one subtle nod makes the final movie in Ti Wests slasher trilogy even better. MaXXXine follows 2022s X and 2023s Pearl to wrap up director Ti Wests critically acclaimed slasher trilogy. By MaXXXines twist ending, Pearl and Xs stories come together in a way that is both thematically cohesive and compelling. Mia Goths titular heroine becomes the star she wanted to be in X, fulfilling Pearls dreams years after defeating her in their violent face-off. Throughout the movie, the characters are frequently contrasted in many subtle ways.
