the decrease in costuming quality over the last 20 years has been soooo precipitous & nauseating. i’m not even talking abt marvel’s cg supersuits or anything this time, look at the fabric quality, structure, layering, character, and craftsmanship of older costumes in 102 dalmations (2000) vs cruella (2021)
ever after (1998) vs cinderella (2021)
lord of the rings (2001-2003) vs the rings of power (2022)
this trend should upset you not just because it looks cheap, but because it suggests a strong anti-art and anti-labor movement in film and tv making. don’t forget costumers are unionized
Some additions that I only thought up after hitting post:
1. Straight trans people exist!
2. Cis LGB+ people are just as a capable of transphobia as cis straight people and shifting the blame as “the straights are at it again!!!!!!” doesn’t always work
i find it frustrating when a character makes a decision (especially an emotional one) that makes sense for them as a person to make in a given situation, but because the decision has unforeseen ill effects of some kind, fandoms attribute this choice to the character’s stupidity. because it’s like. no!! they aren’t stupid, they are just trapped within their story and cannot see further forward in it than where and when they are!! they are not looking at this with the omniscient god’s eye view that you, the viewer who has already read this book or seen this movie, are where you know what happens after this and the consequences of every move on the narrative chess board!! they cannot make the decisions that you think you would, knowing what you know, because they don’t have all that insight!!
The way kim k was allowed to wear Marilyn Monroe’s dress to the met gala is so infuriating both from a fashion conservation standpoint and a historical standpoint. Marilyn Monroe came from absolutely nothing and was super smart and was an advocate for minority rights and was on the fucking government’s communist watchlist and kim k thinks she has the right to wear her dress? And not only that but rich people shouldn’t just be allowed to wear historical garments whenever they want. It damages a garment that should be preserved by experts in a museum instead. Fuck off get hit by a car dumb bitch
Also it’s not on theme stupid cunt!!! The theme is the GILDED AGE, not the 1960S!!!!! Plus it looks bad on you
Don’t come at me for shipping an immortal anthropomorphic spirit dog with a 17 year-old village girl raised by a priestess in a fictional monster-infested 1500s japan when you’re perfectly fine with said immortal spirit dog’s equally immortal brother making out with his 15 year-old girlfriend before later marrying her and also fine with a 19-year old monk sexually harassing his 16 year-old love interest multiple times before she finally “falls for him” and has his kids at 17.
Take your double standards and virtue signaling somewhere else. It’s a cartoon and it’s just not that heavy.
The reason so many people refuse to acknowledge any version of Talia pre-Morrison is because they only want to use her as a prop to fuel Bruce and Damian’s angst and that just makes me so-
