i’ve seen more mentions of steven universe in the calarts discourse than gravity falls, even though rebecca sugar didn’t go to calarts while alex hirsch did
like, there’s definitely a calarts bias in the animation industry, but if you’re gonna criticize a pattern in the art styles of modern shows, you should, yknow, make sure your examples actually went to calarts. i saw someone mentioning ok ko and i’m like no???? ian jq didn’t go there???
honestly, i’m more convinced that the reason modern shows look similar to one another has less to do with the calarts monopoly and more to do with people doing what’s popular.
The literally silent women protagonist leaves a super bad taste in my mouth.
She’s deaf and speaks with sign language, she’s not a silent woman. Like, can we agree that deaf representation in media is important? Can we agree that ASL representation in media is important? This is an adult-oriented romance/sci-fi movie where the female lead is a deaf woman. How can you act like this isn’t significant? The last gif has a deaf woman in the 60s standing up to an aggressive man and telling him to go fuck himself.
This movie is doing something that has probably never been done before. But hey, she can’t talk “normally” like a hearing woman and that’s bad, so go off I guess.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
yes but quick correction! I don’t believe she’s deaf! I think she is mute! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t want people going in expecting one thing and being disappointed. This is still very important representation though!
they said in the trailer “she’s not deaf. she can hear you.” so yeah, while she isn’t deaf, she is mute, and it’s still important representation!!
Del Toro loves metaphor and symbolism. So having a silent protagonist is right up his alley. And if you can’t see why it’s important just from the symbolism alone that the silenced underclass stands up against a man representing the systematic oppression of others, then I don’t know what can be done.
I don’t know what it is about Star Wars but even if it’s not your biggest fandom, it still has the funniest memes by a long shot I mean “look at all the fucks i give anakin” and “your poncho is a piece of junk” and anakin hates sand it’s all just 1000% pure class
YOU CAN’T BEAT THIS SHIT
