Mortal Komabt 1 Story/Theme Thoughts (Spoilers)

Mortal Kombat 1 released recently. I haven't played it cause I don't have a PS5, but I want to be apart of it so I've watched gameplay and I know how the story unfolds. I have a lot of thoughts about everything but if there is one thing I want to say/express is that while I love a lot of what happens with this game and the "reboot" aspect of it all, part of me feels that they dropped the ball in a way at the end. I'll try to explain as we go and I think the biggest clue or upset is the tagline and ultimately how the story unfolds.

"It's in our Blood". That is the big tagline for the MK1. What I got from this and what they initially showed is that no matter what changes Liu Kang made to restart the universe and make it better, it wouldn't work. That humans/creatures/characters at their core are violent or that combat is an essential part of life. I see this type of theme or tagline and I'm like "Yes! Let's roll with it." I was really excited to see these Iconic characters in the "perfect" world Liu Kang made when he restarted it at the end of MK 11, only for it to all fall apart because no matter what changes Liu Kang made, each character had a core aspect of their personality that brings them back to the character we know them as. Thus, the cycle/events would repeat themselves.

An example I would love to see this with is Shang Tsung. We know him to be a bad guy. He's always been a bad guy. It would be interesting to see how someone would go about making him not a bad guy. How would they change his life? Would they take his powers away? Give him a good life where he didn't need anything else? How would he fall? How would he become a villain again? Is it circumstance? Or is there a fundamental part of Shang Tsung that will always bring him back to the villain we know? It's in his blood. That is the story I would've loved to follow with him Shang and the rest of the MK characters.

Instead, SPOILERS, the story we get is that, Liu Kang is the villain and he has no one to blame but himself for setting up Shang Tsung and Quan Chi to be bad guys. Why? He made their lives fucking miserable. Sure, I get it. The two fucked up a lot of shit and are responsible for some problems, but instead of trying to fix their lives and make them good, Liu Kang tries to make their lives "mundane". Sure he could've done that, but what did he do? He made Shang Tsung a snake oil salesman who would get beaten up when it's discovered his product doesn't work while we learn from the story that Quan Chi worked in the mines. Heck, Havik was a slave who was treated poorly by the rulers of OrderRealm. Like no wonder he wanted to rebel against the governing class. Given the situations these characters were put in, it's no wonder they jumped at a chance for power, to be who they see themselves as.

Now, you could say this is in line with the theme of "It's in our blood" and I see it. No matter what Liu Kang did to restart the world, it ultimately would be one of conflict, kombat, where people are mistreated, evil returns and good must fight back. We find out that there had been a War in Outworld. Jarrod is dead again, like the guy just can't live happily with his wife and daughter(s). But part of me feels like Liu Kang could've tried a little harder to make the universe a better place before it feel apart.

Maybe I'm just upset they did the multiple timelines things that intersected where all the events unfold because evil Shang Tsung from MK 11 manipulated MK 1 Shang Tsung. Lol. Like, in a way it's cool because it takes in account the multiple endings from MK 11, but it also feels like such a cop out.

Overall, the story for MK 1 is a lot of fun. The new origins for everyone and everything were fun to see and experience. And in a way it was fun to see that despite the changes, these characters are still who they are. That they held on to the core aspects of their character, for better and worse. The new changes were also good, like Baraka actually having a character/personality instead of just being a goon. lol

Thoughts on a Resident Evil TV Show

I’ve been playing through the Resident Evil 2 Remake lately since I don’t have the RE3 Remake yet and it’s got me thinking about a Resident Evil TV show. There has been rumors and talks of one on and off but nothing consistent or reassuring.  This a long post. These are just my thoughts/something I’d like to see. Some spoilers for the RE Universe if you like don’t know anything. 

First and foremost, the show should remain as true to the source material as it can while having the flexibility to explore and create it’s story. 

Plot/Focus/Theme: The story should focus on The Umbrella Corporation and the people behind/working for the company. It should show the corruption and secrecy within Umbrella along with how the company turns people into monsters, allows us to explore the character and morals of the researchers working for Umbrella. Ideally, it would focus around a set of four characters as the raise up in the ranks. They are Albert and Alex Wesker, William Birkin, and Annette. These are some of the most prominent people behind Umbrella aside from the founders (who we’ll see but are often the mysterious puppeteers behind the scenes.)  Theme would be how our environment, the people we work with, change us for better or worse. While also exploring the morals and philosophy of science and eugenics since Umbrella was created as front for a bunch of old white guys to create the perfect society/race.

 Setting: The show should take place in the 1900’s, 1970-90s I think is the correct time frame. I think it’s important the show takes place around the same time the games did which took place during the time they were developed in the late 90’s. This will keep with the horror of the show but also allow us to see how advanced Umbrella really is and how powerful the company is. One of my favorite times we see this in the Resident Evil 2: Remake when you first enter the Umbrella lab and you see how clean, how futuristic the lab is compared to the rest of Raccoon city. Keeping the separation during that time is key to the story of Umbrella. There of course could be time jumps and there would be flashbacks to the creation and founding of Umbrella.

           The primary location would be the Umbrella Executive Training School and Laboratory with the Arklay mansion being constructed and by proximity the Arklay mountains/forest. This would allow us to fully explore the early stages of T-virus and Progenitor virus development and the parts the characters played. Raccoon City would exist as primarily an escape for our characters along with allowing us to explore the hold Umbrella had on the City and see the corruption with the officials.

 Characters: Albert Wekser- One of the most well known and popular characters in RE, Wesker was a part of a secret project by Oswell Spencer to create the perfect race. Exploring Albert’s background and how he became the man he is would be fun, especially considering Wesker is one of the people to betray Umbrella and bring the corporation down. Wesker, like most of the characters, would start of a young researcher, (late teens, early 20s) planted into Umbrella alongside Alex by Spencer. Albert is Spencer’s favorite and expects much from Albert. We’d be able to explore if Wesker was always the manipulator who didn’t trust even though he and Birkin are often considered friends so were they or did Albert just use William? We’d be able to explore his relationship with Alex, a relatively new character who like Albert has a lot expected of them. I like to think that are rivals and while they do “care” for each other in some way, their sibling relationship is nowhere near the relationship of Alexia and Alfred’s. Perhaps their relation is better than the Ashford twin’s relationship, especially considering the twins relationship could be seen as “abusive” with how Alexia treats Alfred as a solider and Alfred worships his sister. That’s just something the show explore along with Albert’s military training and the creation of S.T.A.R.S while building up his distrust and exit of Umbrella. He remains loyal to them but at what point did Albert start to question not only Umbrella but Spencer, the man who had him created, who “raised” him and gave him everything he needed to succeed? What exactly was his relationship with William like? Was Wesker always so serious and mysterious or was he carefree at some point? Why does he wear sunglasses? We can infure in later games they are to hide his mutation as a result of the virus he used in Resident Evil, but why did he always wear them? Were they an intimidation technique or did he need to wear them because the way he was created made his eyes extremely sensitive to light? There is so much to explore with Wesker like did he have any romantic relations with anyone? He has a son so when and who was that mysterious person or was Jake created like Wesker himself?

 Alex Wesker- Alex is similar to Albert but she wasn’t as praised by Spencer. Maybe it’s because she had a stronger love for literature and philosophy instead of virology or science? She stuck with it and rose in Umbrella because she was expected to, but maybe she didn’t love it. Exploring her character and background would be a lot of fun. She’s a new character connected to a lineage that has a strong history throughout the game so being able to explore her more and see how she differs from Albert would be a lot of fun. It’s also curious to note that she discovered the truth behind her and Albert’s creation so how does that affect her? Does she tell Albert? We see in RE: 5 that Albert didn’t know until he confronted Spencer and he didn’t handle it well so how did Alex handle it? I don’t have much to say about Alex considering she’s still so new but also because I feel like her mystery and the fact she’s always been overshadowed by Albert, and others, could help to develop and make her an interesting character.

 William Birkin- A child prodigy taken in by Umbrella. The biggest things the show should explore with William is his relationship with Annette, how betraying Marcus affects him and eventually causes him to leave Umbrella as he become more paranoid about his own work being stolen. Exploring how he discovers G and rises in the Umbrella ranks would also be fun. Exploring his friendship with Albert. Much like Albert, William has a lot of pressure on him to do great things and he has a bit of an ego because of his genius and, up until Alexia shows up, being the youngest person recruited by Umbrella. I think William sees both Albert and Annette as equals. As I mentioned before I think a big part of William’s character we’d need to explore in the show is how not only he becomes the perfect, immoral Umbrella employee but how he becomes more and more paranoid that the same thing that happened to Marcus will happen to him. His life work is going to be threatened so he has to do everything he can to stay in Umbrella’s favor, to make sure he stays on top. Alexia, a new prodigal child shows up and threatens his intellect and work so maybe he tries to have her killed but fails because Alexia was expecting it. William is a genius but as we’ve seen in his appearance in Resident Evil, he is also an extremely emotional man. Exploring how William goes from being the most hopeful, Umbrella Student, to just another immoral scientist to one completely consumed by Paranoia and obsessed with his work to the point where he begins to neglect his family would allow for a great and tragic character arch that will leave viewers feeling sorry for William cause we all know how his story ends, he becomes a literal monster as a result of his time at Umbrella and we have no reason to sympathize. He was just another immoral Umbrella scientist playing god. Yeah, he had a family, but he didn’t seem to care, all he cared about what his work. Exploring his rise and fall would give fans that connection, it would make them care so that when they see/hear what happens to William and the Birkin family in Resident Evil 2, they can sympathize.

 Annette- We don’t know much about Annette’s history prior to Resident Evil 2, so being able to explore her background and how she and William started dating would be interesting and fun. I like to think that Annette was the first person that William saw as an Equal instead of a rival. Albert was a friend, a rival, a conspirator, Alexia was a rival, but Annette was an equal that William could confide in, could trust with their work. I also like to think that while William may have been the genius behind G, Annette was the driving force, the one who pushed William and helped him with his success by being the clinical eye to their work. We see this in the Resident Evil 2 remake with how Annette is taking constant notes and observations on a mutated William while also taking responsibility to destroy the creature. William was the brains, Annette was the heart and together they were unstoppable. I think the relationship between Annette and William would be the only romantic relationship the show would have. We could explore options with Wesker, he does have a son after all, but William and Annette are the biggest known couple within Umbrella so exploring their relationship and seeing if there really was a love there or did they just marry because they were only ones they could trust with their work? I like to think that despite the affect Umbrella had on the two, they did love each other but as the years went on and they came closer to a breakthrough with G and William began to lose himself to his paranoia, their love began to die thus making them “married to their work.” That love is still clearly there as Annette struggled to kill William before he fully mutated but it’s possible their relationship was already on the rocks and the only reason they were staying together is because of Sherry and they felt they could only trust each other. Perhaps the two weren’t very expressive with their love and emotions, only showing them during times of triumph or success, such as discovering/creating G. I’ve always wondered, if the two were so committed to their work, why did they have a child? They are both very intellectual people so they must’ve known having a child would take them away from their work. They are upper class so they could have a nanny but still begs the question, why bother having a child in the first place? It’s possible Sherry was an “accident” something conceived as a result of one of their few moments of passion, expressed love as a result of something greater. Being an optimist, I like to think Annette and William did love Sherry, but Umbrella forced them to be distant, so they didn’t endanger her. Exploring Annette’s character outside of her marriage to William should be the first most thing, Annette is a strong character outside of her marriage, but it’s also important to explore that relationship because like I said, the Birkin relationship is the only real relationship we know of and we need that connection so we can better explore how Umbrella destroys lives.  

 Alexia and Alfred Ashford- The Ashford twins are only going to show up for maybe a season or a few special guest episodes. Simply because they are young and they got their own stuff to go through that doesn’t concern everything happening in the Arklay mountains/Raccoon city. I can see the two showing up one season, being brought by their father to show off Alexia to Spencer and the rest of Umbrella to prove he isn’t a failure for maybe a week or a couple months. Alexia, being a genius, would of course begin to make strides and overshadow our main cast while Alfred is simply there to help. Maybe there is a plot by William to kill Alexia, something Albert doesn’t advise, but he goes through with. Alexia expects it and simply is unphased by the attempt and uses it to further her own research/goals before she and Alfred leave. Alfred would primarily be there to support Alexia. We could also explore their relationships. They are very close and dependent on each other so seeing their teamwork would be a fun counter to perhaps how William and Annette work or how Albert and Alex’s relationship isn’t normal or perfect. It would also be interesting to explore if growing up in Umbrella is what made the twins so sadistic or was it the abuse of their father. It can be inferred that Alfred was more abused than Alexia, Alexia being the favorite because of her intellect with Alfred only being above average, so exploring that would also allow us to see how being raised in an environment where morals mean nothing can turn young great minds to crazy scientists. We’d obviously see a lot more of Alfred’s co-dependence on Alexia in their youth during their time on the show and how Alexia manipulate Alfred and turns him into the perfect loyal solider. Their relationship could be shown as creepy in that maybe their love for each other goes beyond sibling love or was it really there out of a need to survive? Alfred shouldn’t be shown as an idiotic lackey. He is intelligent, just not as intelligent as Alexia. His intellect could be shown in military skills, in his adult life he is a commander, and his ability to manipulate people just as well as his sister. It’s also possible Alfred is a bit more sadistic than Alexia, finding joy in tormenting those that threaten or oppose his sister. Alexia shows off while at the labs, but she’s bored by how simple and easy everything is. It doesn’t challenge her. They can, and should, be shown as spoiled brats but it shouldn’t be obnoxious, they do have manners and honor due to their family name and linage, but they do think that makes them better than some people. Maybe Alexia finds what she is looking for to complete her T-Veronica virus in the mountains or maybe it’s where she has her epiphany about ants. Like I said, the Ashford twins are a season, two at most but it’s important to include them because they are part of the Umbrella legacy and Umbrella problem.

 The Founders: The background and history of the founders up to the creation of Umbrella and after should be explored as it’s key to the corruption and evil within Umbrella but the entire show shouldn’t focus on them.

Oswell E. Spencer- Spencer can be shown and explored but much like in the games, Spencer should be more of a strange, shadowy figure controlling Umbrella and manipulating it to fit his goal of creating the perfect race and making him a god.

James Marcus- Perhaps the only founder we’ll see the most of, Marcus is the mentor to our group and the one pushing them to excel while doing his research into T-Virus. He shouldn’t be shown as a father figure or a good guy, he is a manipulative, science/research obsessed mad man who is just as bad as Spencer. He influences Albert and William, making them as corrupt and evil as he but his death, his betrayal should impact the two, and others, because that should be the moment that even their positions in Umbrella isn’t secure. The death of Marcus should be the point that really changes the cast as they continue to grow and work for Umbrella and realize the evil of the company and as they become infected with that evil.

Edward Ashford- is dead by the time of our story so most of our exploring of his character will be in flashbacks as we explore the creation of Umbrella and as he is mentioned by the Ashford, Spencer, and Marcus. Like the other founders, he’s not a good person but he is the first one to die, murdered by Spencer, so exploring how that affects Spencer and maybe even all of Umbrella could be a fun venture.

Alexander Ashford- I’m throwing him down here because when he is shown with the twins, he isn’t that important, he’s just their to kinda flaunt, throw blame, and demand more respect because he’s kind of a joke within Umbrella, even though he’s a genius because he manages to clone a person and creates the twins. He’d also be there to show why the twins do what they do to him. Yes part of it is because they were upset about being clones, being created just to feed Alexander’s ego and prove to the world and family that he isn’t useless, but I also believe that Alexander wasn’t the best father. He puts a lot of pressure on the twins to be prefect, to be intellectuals and save the family name, to serve it, with little care to them outside of that goal so it makes sense that the twins would turn him into an experiment.

 Other characters: We can show and mention other Umbrella researchers or show characters like Chief Ions, a young H.U.N.K. who has yet to earn his name, that John guy Ada manipulated for the third party organization (which should be explored more because we know very little about them other than the fact they are a competitor to Umbrella and hire people to infiltrate and steal secrets) ect. They can be seen, mentioned, and have important roles, but outside of the characters mentioned above, they don’t really serve much purpose except to further show how terrible and evil the Umbrella corporation is. It’d be fun to explore their relationships and how Umbrella affected them, but they should never pull focus from our main cast.  

 Last little thought: There can be mini outbreaks, there can be experiments that go wrong or escape but there should never be a major outbreak. We can hint at what sets off the events in Resident Evil Zero/1 but we should never have something that shows Umbrella could fully contain the situation. Umbrella’s own hubris and the corruption within is what brings the company down so while having stuff like a zombie or a hunter on the lose could be fun drama, it should never be a threat to the whole operation. It would also be a fun way to show how much power Umbrella has over elected officials and the media. Spies, corporate espionage, and other horror/science show drama can ensue to keep the show momentum going.

MK Family AU

Mortal Kombat Alternative universe where everything is basically the same expect: Instead of Noob Saibot being an emotionless, killer shadow bent on a creating clan of darkness, he’s an annoyed older brother. He and Sub Zero (Kuai Liang) get along for the most part, but he’s annoyed by Kuai Liang taking up his mantle, being friends with the guy that killed him and ruining his cool guy image.

Part Two: Shao Kahn is your stereotypical dad trying to be friends with his stepdaughter (Kitanna) and relate with her, Sindel is a recent widow trying to keep her family together and Mileena is the younger stepsister trying too hard to get along with Kitanna who isn’t happy about her mom’s marriage to a tyrant. 

I’ve been thinking about this AU a lot and I think it would allow for a lot of fun family drama. Like if Mortal Kombat was a sitcom, it would center around the families and their way of dealing with drama or issues is just to fight it out with plenty of heart-to-heart talks and moments in-between along with some hilarious high-jinks like Shao Kahn disguising himself to follow Kitanna on a date with Lu Kang and Noob Saibot pulling pranks on Kuai Lang all while being annoyed by the fact his baby brother is the “mature one”. 

The Cage/Blade family will of course be apart of the drama as well along with ever other family in the Mortal Kombat canon.

Godzilla King of The Monsters Thoughts/Review

Just got back from seeing Godzilla: King Of The Monsters a second time and I got to say that it was just as enjoyable. Warning Spoilers. The movie had a lot great moments and some beautiful shots like Dr. Serizawa walking up the steps of the hidden city to see save Godzilla and Ghidorah on the volcano with the cross to name a few. The story felt like a Godzilla story with the humans trying to control the monsters, the environmental message and the all out monster brawl. Now yes the story and the human characters were typical of a monster movie but that’s what KOM was, a movie about monsters fighting. Godzilla 2014 followed the typical Godzilla movie route where you spend a lot of time with the human characters and see the monsters every now and then before their big fight. Just like in the classics, I felt bogged down with the human characters in Godzilla 2014, that wasn’t the case in KOM. My interest was kept throughout and the battles were worth the wait. 

Now on to my thoughts. I’ve seen a few theories about Kong vs Godzilla (KvG) and the post credit scene (more on that later). As I was driving back from the theatre I started to spitball some ideas and I came up with some that I’m really shooting for. Now a lot of people doubt that KvG is going to be “They fight and one dies” type of movie. I agree, for one that would be stupid and would upset a lot of people depending on who wins (how do you even decide the victor anyways?). Two, The creators are really shooting for a Monsterverse and while the box office sales of KOM may have slowed or even scared them, KvG is bound to sell crazy because of the iconisim of the two title characters. People are going to want to see this. So it doesn’t make sense to kill off one of the two characters you are going to use to set up the rest of the universe. I’m a fan of the theory that while Kong and Godzilla are going to start fighting, the two are going to join forces in the end to defeat a greater enemy. Kong and Godzilla are set up at the end of KOM to be rival Alphas. Makes sense since they are two imposing characters that have kicked a lot of monster ass. Once Godzilla arrives on Skull Island, Kong is probably going to defend his territory so they’ll fight. However, a greater threat is going to cause the two to join forces and live as like co alpha’s or something IDK. 

The question is; who is that monster? Now a lot of people think Ghidroah’s head that Jonah buys in the post credit scenes is going to lead to a new threat with contenders being a Mecha-King Ghidorah, Destoroyah, Bagan or maybe even Desghidorah. I don’t think Mecha-King Ghidorah is going to happen because that require the full body and while Ghidorah may regenerate or be cloned from the severed head, I don’t they are going to go that route. Just seems too far fetched. With the introduction of the Oxygen Destroyer in KOM, a lot of people are expecting Destoroyah to show up. So am I, I just don’t think they’ll use him in KvG. There was a leaked Monsterverse movie plan/timeline awhile back that showed all of the movies they were going to include or attempt to do in this shared universe of theirs. With all the talk that sells of KOM has derailed or delayed their plans to continue the Monsterverse, I think KvG is going to be the deciding factor in if they continue or not. Now, one of the movies they had planned on that timeline was Destroy All Monsters (DAM). Depending on if KvG does sell well and they decided to do a few other movies before DAM (I can’t remember where it was on the timeline) they might save Destoroyah for the end. Which I think is a great plan because Destoryoah is the type of villain that you save for the end. He’s what Thanos is to the MCU. When Destoroyah was first introduced he signified the end of the Heisei era, killing that Godzilla. If Destroy All Monsters turns out to be the end of the Monsterverse, with Godzilla dying at the end, Destoroyah is the perfect monster to replace Ghidorah as the villain all the monsters team up to fight. If and when Destoroyah is introduced, I can see him being “used” as a weapon by the humans (who despite the apparent good Godzilla and Kong do) still seeing the titans as a menace so when they realize that the Oxygen Destroyer had spawned a monster(s) they are going to try to use that as weapon against the Titans only for it to backfire and for Godzilla and the others to save the day from Destoroyah who the humans now realize is going to kill everything. Bagan is just an obscure monster that is the cross between Godzilla and Ghidorah that I would love to see finally on the big screen. I saw a post that mentioned Desghidorah, who appeared in a Mothra movie, could be the villain as a potential spawn from the Oxygen Destoyer and Ghidorah’s head. I however came up with an idea that, while far-fetched, I think would be a really interesting choice. 

The monster that I think will unite Godzilla and Kong is: Megalon. That’s right, the big beetle with drill arms from Godzilla vs Megalon. Now here me out. In KOM we are introduced to an underwater civilization that exists in the Hollow Earth. Megalon, was the guardian of Seatopia, an underwater civilization. The credits of KOM make a lot of mention of the Hollow Earth civilization and it’s center being located around Skull Island. With the nuke being used to awaken Godzilla destroying the city Godzilla rested at, what if that combined with Ghidorah awakening all of the Titains and the activity heading towards Skull Island, it awakens another monster hidden deep bellow. A third god or guardian who was to awaken when the civilization was in danger. With it completely destroyed, Megalon wakes up to cause havoc to avenge his followers causing Kong and Godzilla to team up to stop him. Now I’d be surprised if they introduced the Seatopian’s or living ancestors in KvG who awaken Megalon but it could happen. Now, Megalon isn’t the sharpest or strongest Godzilla villain as demonstrated in the movie with the Seatopian’s calling in for help in the form of Gigan. This got me thinking, what if KvG not only gives us Megalon but also the original form of Gigan before he was turned into a cyborg a Primal Gigan. Primal Gigan and Megalon show up, wreck shit and cause Godzilla and Kong to stop fighting to put these two down. This opens a path for us to get a normal, cyborg Gigan with Jonah or someone else taking the Primal Gigan remains and turning it into a controllable cyborg, something Gigan has always been. Now I think Megalon is a huge curve ball to be thrown into KvG but he’s my alternative if it means saving Destoroyah for the finale to the Monsterverse. I saw something about a “robotic activity” or something on Skull Island and while I’d love to see a Mecha Godzilla or Mecha Kong, I think it’d be best to save that as kinda of the first weapon used in Destroy All Monsters with it showing up to help end Destoroyah, similar to what happened in Godzilla vs Destoroyah. 

Those are my thoughts on Godzilla KOM and what might happen. We’ll know for sure as more information and the trailer for the movie arrive. I’m excited about KvG and hopeful for the future of the Monsterverse.

Love, Love Simon

It’s late, I just came back from seeing Love Simon and I am on an emotional high where I just need to talk about it. First off, loved the movie. I read the book, Simon vs the homosapien agenda, and loved it so I was amped to see the movie and it did not disappoint. It was an emotional Ferris wheel and truly beautiful. Sorry for any spoilers, you’ve been warned. I just need to rant a little. 

Like all people who read a book and then see the movie, I have a few small gripes with it, some that are petty but it didn’t stop me from enjoying the movie. My biggest petty gripe is that, Cal in the movie isn’t bisexual or the stage manager like he is in the book. As a bi stage manger, I’m a little salty. That aside I feel like it helps add to Cal’s character and provides Simon with more of a chance when figure out who Blue is. That being said, I still love everything about Bram plus the fact he was played by Keiynan Lonsdale from the Flash was really awesome too. I would have loved for some more of the cute moments between Simon and Bram from the book to be in the movie but I understand the changes they made. 

Other than that, Love Simon is a great movie that tells a compelling story and hits all the rights emotion. As a bisexual I know coming out and accepting it was something I struggled with so I related a lot with Simon’s characters. I also want to mention how important it is that not only is this movie out but the fact it was put out by a big name company like 20th Century Fox really helps get the message out. Representation is so fucking important and being able to see some like Nick Robinson play a character that is struggling with coming out and being who he wants to be is really impactful. Hell reading about it is impactful. 

In conclusion, both Love, Simon and Simon vs the homosapien agenda are two incredible and important pieces of work that have impacted me and will remain important to me for the rest of my life. Don’t be afraid to be you. You’ll be grateful once you can remove the mask and be who you want to be, I know I am.
