rocky horror is the worst and is also transmisogynistic can we please finally get over this shit movie
ok but like the writer is transgender nonbinary and the language used in the play was the preferred language by trans people of that time can we not deny parts of our history because we’ve evolved since then thanks
So fucking much this.
PS, youth of today: you’ll be saying the same damn thing about art from this time before too long, for good or for ill. Terminology will, in fact, change. Definitions will, in fact, shift. It always does, they always do.
PPS, it is pretty much impossible to overstate how life-alteringly important this movie was to kids who didn’t conform to standard expectations of gender and sexuality, back in the day. Especially when back in the day was the mid-to-late 1980s, when the only queers you saw on TV were neutered AIDS tragedies, Bowie was playing straight, and even Elton John was married to a woman, and midnight showing of RHPS were pretty much the only place that felt like home. It was mental life raft for a lot of people.
ALSO IT’S A SATIRE IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE AN “OFFENSIVE” PORTRAYAL IT’S MAKING FUN OF STRAIGHT PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID OF US IT’S EXAGGERATING THEIR IDEAS OF US TO THE POINT OF LUDICROUSNESS THAT’S THE ACTUAL POINT
also you fail to understand just how many, many people were allowed to be queer for Tim Curry and how many doors that began to open
we say this as someone who was in several closets and first saw the film when we were 18 and that was 1981 ffs this film MATTERED
WandaVision: Loneliness | The Falcon & the Winter Soldier: Relief | Loki: Loss | Hawkeye: “Wish We Had More Time” | Moon Knight: “I’m Sorry” | Secret Invasion: Betrayal
the fact that marvel PROMOTED maria hill as one of the proganists of secret invasion, made a individual poster of he character, released the first images of the show with her in it, even dropped a marvel’s legends episode just for her for in the end FUCKING KILL her character in the first episode of secret invasion and credit the actress in the end as a “special guest” is so fucking foul of them… this is my villain origin story
Jessica Henwick really said, “Marvel Television is MCU canon” when she turned down the role of Xu Xialing in Shang-Chi. Respect. And that’s not even a joke, part of the reason why she turned the role down was because she wanted to reprise her role as Colleen Wing.
Also, Kevin Feige has no excuse now if Marvel Studios ever brings back Colleen Wing. Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio are a packaged deal with the rest of Netflix Marvel, you can’t just cherry pick what you want as canon or not. If anything, put Colleen Wing in Shang-Chi 2. People want to see Shang-Chi meet Iron Fist, so there’s Marvel’s chance to do so.
I had a dream where I took over Marvel Studios and the first project I greenlit was a horror spin-off to “Moon Knight”. The plot was that Leo Fitz from “Agents of SHIELD” was pulled out of retirement by Everett Ross and asked to accompany the U.S. military to this weapons site in Egypt. They needed Fitz specifically since they needed his expert opinion on some new weapons they were designing.
So they take Fitz to Egypt where he linked up with Dinah Madani from “The Punisher”, who is now working under Ross. At some point, Fitz and the U.S. military are attacked by Raoul Bushman’s mercenaries (the mercenaries responsible for killing Layla’s dad and shooting Marc Spector). That’s what the first two episodes were about…but then the series takes a massive left turn when it’s revealed that in the chaos of the fighting, both sides damaged a temple of the Egyptian god Ra, thus awakening the god from their slumber. Because of this, Fitz, Ross, and Madani had to join forces with Raoul Bushman in order to stop Ra.
I don’t know how the story ended because I woke up before the finale lol. I’m assuming Moon Knight shows up as the surprise guest.
Side note: Now that I’m writing my dream out, it looks like my brain was thinking about “The Mummy”.
We don’t move on. We hold that place in our heart we close it off lock the door, we visit time to time but we don’t move on. Even after saying goodbye.
