TODOROV'S THEORY
1. Equilibrium- Setting is established key characters are introduced and the storyline is set up. (Letchworth, Hertfordshire group of friends start to reluctantly going for a few beers).
2. Disruption- Oppositional characters appear and story takes a particular direction. (Fight in the toilet between Garry and his friends. They knock the aliens head off and blue blood comes out).
3. Recognition- The lives of the characters and events are interwoven. Tension builds through this long section. (Fight aliens in each pub on the golden mile, tension increases as they get closer to the final pint).
4. Repair- The highest point of tension, the climax of the film. (Speech to aliens, telling them all to go away).
5. New Equilibrium- Matters are the sorted out, problems solved and questions answered. (Aliens go away, taking away all of technology. Andy tells a group of young people about the story of Garry).

In Worlds End the aliens that had been sent to disturbed Garry's quest to visit twelve pubs in one night all look like typical English teenagers. This is shown in their clothing. They are all wearing hoodies which is a common piece of clothing with teenagers. This is shown in the seven when they are about to fight with Garry and his friends in the toilet. This also links to another theory that Englishmen like to fight.
Garry is seen as the hero in Worlds End. This is shown when he is the person who tells the aliens to leave. This shows that he is heroic and is fearless. This links to the stereotype that English people like to fight. This is seen in the toilet when Garry and his friends fight the aliens.
In Worlds End the stereotype only boys fight. This is shown when Garry and his friends fight the aliens. The only people who are fighting in this scene out of Garry's friends are boys. The aliens that enter the toilet are all boys that are dressed in hoodies, the clothing suggest that they often fight. This links to the point that people who go to the pub like to fight. All of Garry's friends and his clothing suggest that they go to the pub often. They wear loose clothing which isn't very smart.
