anyways i just love the way kpop demon hunters stayed true to its roots in korean/asian culture, especially around the core theme of community vs individualism

the fact that it's not a single chosen one but a group of three

the fact that the honmoon is not powered by the hunters themselves but by the energy and love of the fans

the fact that gwi-ma turns people into demons by promising that he is the only one who can help them when he is in fact reliant on his army of demons to collect souls for him

the fact that "your idol" is about surrendering yourself to a single higher power while "golden" is about soaring to new heights together

the fact that gwi-ma preys on people's individual insecurities and shame to get inside their heads while rumi, mira, and zoey set them free in the end by encouraging them to embrace their differences and reminding them that they're not alone

the fact that you can see the audience cheering individually and even pushing into each other to get closer to the stage during "your idol"

while they're linking arms and cheering together and hugging during "what it feels like"

i have not seen the live action lilo and stitch but it feels like that movie sits on the opposite end of the spectrum from kpop demon hunters as a case study for how to tell a story in way that is culturally authentic and still resonates with a broader audience

and i think given that the core theme of the movie is all about community over individualism, the ending, particularly as it relates to rumi and jinu's budding romance, is really the perfect culmination of that broader theme

rumi and jinu's connection has all the hallmarks of that all-encompassing, all-consuming, borderline co-dependent first love where you keep your relationship a secret and sneak out of the house to meet up and feel like the other person is the ONLY person who really gets you

i'm the only one who can understand you, i'm the only one who will love you is the kind of thing that sounds romantic when you're 16 until you get older and realize how toxic it actually is and i love that the movie counters that in "what it feels like" with rumi realizing that she had that love and support all along from her girls, and later, from the fans who continue to cheer them on through their comeback

it's about connection and sisterhood and love and sharing your fears and lifting each other up and becoming stronger and better together

and as compelling as i found rumi/jinu and as much as i would like to see their relationship explored more in a sequel/series, i just really love that this movie, which is clearly targeted at young women, ends on the message that romantic love is not the end all be all, that friendship is just as important if not more so than a romantic partner, that single women can lead successful, fulfilling lives, that true happiness and freedom start from within

it's crazy that this message still seems revolutionary in 2025 but given the current state of the world, it feels more necessary than ever

I loved their chemistry by all

And Jinu being the only one who get to sit on chair while others just sit on side walk with a freaking sleeping bag 😭

can we PLEASE talk about how slutty the saja boys are in ‘your idol’.

like their behavior, SEDUCTION, 10/10 loved it but the outfits!!!!

like first THE BOOTS, i need to know where to buy these(if you know PLEASE tell me) and the leather pants dead. BUT ABBY takes to a whole other level.

COVER THE CHEST LIKE DAMN BOY(but also don’t). like was it jinu who was like yes time to wear slutty outfits, no one is safe. the mesh that is patterned over his chest. the animators knew what they were doing. and abby is not the only one.

ROMANCE. is that your plan with abby to make miromabby canon, you can tell be buddy it’s okay.

from what i can tell they all have very slutty outfits under those jackets

like i have a feeling that this was original plan but then sony was like ‘hey this is a kids movie tone it done a bit’ and animator response was put jackets over them

[cryptidwlw69]

Learning that one of the concept artists proposed ideas for the demon world being a bathhouse was NOT what I was expecting but I feel I have been robbed

Edit: LIKE LOOK

Concept art from Scott Watanabe w/ this idea and ITS SO FUCKING PRETTY

Edit 2: clarifying that Scott also proposed this idea so everyone needs to know Scott Watanabe is the realest & should be hired as an artist forever & always
