ok so when i opened up riddle school 5 to play it i noticed something in the opening.
Tumblr media
in the opening, we can see the pictures of the kids in their beds dreaming. next to these pics, you can see the names of the kids and their genders.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
however, as you can see, phil is the ONLY ONE to not have a gender assigned.
Tumblr media
i checked the original version of the game just to be sure, and sure enough...
Tumblr media
...phil has no gender assigned. so, with this knowledge, i think that phil is non-binary :3

I’m gonna level with ya here… ((AGSZC, don’t like don’t read))
Golden retriever boyfriend Zack Fair with his gaggle of goth witch partners is what soothes my souls the most.
Angeal is your classic 1950s goth. He’s wearing Gomez level sharp suits and enjoying the simple pleasures in life. Things like baking your enemies into a pie and serving it at family dinners -you know silly stuff. But also Angeal was the one who was legit listening to proper 80s goth music and aged into his gothhood like a fine ass wine.
Genesis is the vampire goth witch partner. They are reading gothic romantic poetry and simping over Mary Shelley and Byron. They are affectionately biting people but also will bite you when annoyed
Sephiroth is the big titty goth. Look me in the eye and say it ain’t so. You can’t. He’s never known how to use the buttons on his shirt, his hair is absolutely the most important thing to him and both he and Genesis both know how good they look in a corset.
And then there’s Cloud. Cloud is the goth witch partner that everyone’s slightly protective of. They got bullied, they have mental health issues, but they have also cursed everyone who once used to torment them. Cloud gifts you gemstones and sea glass and it’s their life goal to own a crow named Edger Allan Crow.
Clouds and Gen are the ones you will find casting at the kitchen table. But Cloud and Geal are the ones that Zack has walked in on attempting necromancy on the neighbours dog.
They all joke that Zack isn’t their boyfriend he’s their shared familiar. People don’t know if they are serious or not when they catch Sephiroth dig his deceptively sharp and manicured nails into Zacks scalp and his leg starts kicking.
… happy spooky season!

I don't keep up with the comics, so when I first read about the Death Ranger drama, I thought it was about Deathryuger, the Dark Ranger's Sentai counterpart.
Yeah, I'm pretty stupid, because I thought Heckyl just came out as non-binary.
Nah, you ain't stupid cause honestly, anything I know about the comics comes from other blogs and twitter accounts. So like, all I know about Death Ranger is that they come from the Omega Rangers comics and that they are among the comics attempts at non-binary rep that the comics uh, don't seem great at handling (or twitter accounts in this drama's case). But also hey, you never know with Heckyl, the comics do like to do their own things with the characters so like, nothing is impossible.

So if you can refer to all the main CC characters as "AGSZCK", then we have many other fun options such as:
"ZACKSG"
"GZACKS"
SZACKG
And GACKSZ, which is way too close to Gackt, so maybe that's what Genesis calls all his clones
Lazard refers to them as something similar, but is unaware that no one else refers to them as an acronym, so it gets confusing
Lazard: Now that Angeal is your mentor, you're spending a lot of time with Sephiroth and Genesis too, yes?
Zack: Yup!
Lazard: So, you and GAS, huh?
Zack:
-
Lazard: What are your plans this weekend? Hanging out with ZACKS, I presume?
Genesis: .....Not really. He's Angeal's puppy, not mine.
Lazard: Oh come on, Genesis, they don't all belong to Angeal haha.
Genesis: THEY? THERE'S MORE THAN ONE ZACK? ONE ISN'T ENOUGH, MUST WE ALSO BE SUBJECTED TO A LITTER OF PUPPIES??
Lazard: Genesis, you misunderstand me.
Genesis:
Genesis: Oh. I didn't know Zack was non-binary.
Lazard: Shiva's tits.

ooooOoo I do have these doodles I did while I was gone! HUGE RANT AHEAD UH OH
SoooO from time to time invision either Seph or Cloud as trans for some comfort and to explore myself through them. Buuttttt, with everything going on in the U.S and also just my mental health, AND DYSPHORIA IM LOOKING AT YOU EWWWWW, my brain decided to trans man beam both Cloud and Sephiroth!!! (I am a trans guy myself, this AU is EXTREMELY personal to me and heavily based on my experiences, and is for my own comfort.) It follows the canon of ff7 but obviously they are both trans so I have tweaked and added moments in their life that I will make drawings off :)
Sephiroth is a lot based off of my experience of being a trans guy, he does not want to present in a binary manner or uphold all the expectations of being a man placed on him, but is happy being a man in a more non-conforming way. He liked to dress up as a kid and didn’t have a problem with feminine things until he hit puberty, because his role as a “woman” was placed on him heavily. When he was a kid he viewed dresses/girly things (lol directly inspired off of me) as just pretty things to accessories himself with and not a gender marker ascribed to him. In his teens he leaned androgynously, (Hojo was an unaccepting douchebag and is just focused on biological stuff, he was never religious) and Seph got baggy tees and snuck clothes to express himself. (In this AU everything in ff7 canon world is canon, so he still wore the SOLDIER uniform and stuff but just was referred to differently). Seph struggled in his teens with his identity when he found trans videos on YouTube and had an identity crises for like 2 years, wondering why he wanted to have testerone and the changes that went with it. He came out to his father at 17 and started transitioning, Hojo only accepted Seph because he knew Seph wouldn’t continue being a SOLDIER otherwise, and ShinRa quickly just changed their adds for Sephiroth and covered up old adds that were gendered (because they didn’t want society to know Seph was trans).
Cloud on the other hand was just always himself, never cared about gender and upholding to it but just playing outside and having fights with other kids. He always wore baggy tees and cargo shorts, and put up his hair in a rat tail to look cool, but also to pretend it was short. Tifa never batted an eye at Cloud’s expression and just considered him her best friend. As Cloud hit is teens, he was very stubborn and never wore any bras or conformed to society, and his mom always just said “Oh that’s just Cloud, and I love my kid regardless”. (Cloud chopped his hair short here) Cloud grew up in Nibllehiem isolated, so he never had any words to express his identity or feelings, but it didn’t matter to much because he never cared about them in the first place. Tifa tried to invite Cloud to “girl sleepovers” but Cloud just was not interested and said he would rather wrestle with her or something. It all changed when Cloud went to ShinRa at age 14, and was gendered a lot by his coworkers and the company. Cloud grew out his hair again and put it in a rat tail to try and comform a little more, and even got his ears pierced. He really was disgusted but started wearing bras, but ofc he knew now something was really wrong and he didn’t feel this wrong in his entire life. He started hanging out with Zack and became his best friend, and later started dating. Cloud got access to the internet through Zack’s phone and starting googling stuff until he finally came across the word trans. He immediately explained it to Zack, and Zack grew up with a super accepting family so Zack didn’t mind. They dated for a couple months but there was a barrier between Zack being cis and Cloud trans, so they split up. Cloud always viewed himself as just himself, but know he desperately wanted to be viewed as a man and nothing more. He never transitioned until he got out of ShinRa at age 20 and immediately did all he could to be the most passing as possible. Tifa was very surprised by his changes when she first met him (again in their mission to bomb the reactor). She had trouble accepting him since she viewed gender in a very conservative way because of her isolated upbringing. But, she did finally understand why Cloud was so adamant about somethings in their childhood together and was empathetic.
Now in the present times, (the events of FF7 remake and rebirth), Cloud secretly meets up with Seph because of an attraction to him (I am a sefikura after all LOL!) While Cloud tries to be as binary as possible, his insecurities make him avoid physical contact with Seph. Seph accepts Cloud and loves him dearly, as they both explore parts of themselves and learn new things. Cloud learns he is man because he just is, and doesn’t have to prove anything to Sephiroth. Cloud feels insecure he can’t be “a real man” which Sephiroth teaches him is bullshit and that they can explore ways to make themselves comfortable without having to uphold whatever people ascribe to them.
ANYWAY I will definitely post more about this since I’ve been ruminating over these ideas for a long time, but I love this AU dearly since it encompasses so many parts of myself. Sorry for getting sappy but it means a lot to me. BIG RANT HUH!!! (Expect more of them heheh)

You say that PR is kicking sentais ass when it comes to female red Rangers, but that's not true. Sentai did a female red ranger first, and Kakuramger had the first female leader. Sentai has also had more plus sized rangers than PR, had a male Pink Ranger in DonBrothers, and a non-binary ranger in King Ohger.
First of all I want to make it clear that there's no "winner" in regards to representation between Power Rangers and Super Sentai. Both have their failings and should be doing more with representation, especially given how long both franchises have been around.
But that being said....no, Power Rangers has absolutely kicked Sentai's ass in regards to female Reds lol Power Rangers actually had the first female Red ever with A-Squad Red Charlie in SPD, which predates Kaoru in Shinkenger by four years. Kaoru is also the ONLY female Red Sentai has, while Power Rangers the show has had three (Charlie, Lauren, and Amelia) and the modern comics have had at least seven (Britt, Grace, Rhian, Putty Rita, Trini, Tula, Lauren - with two of those girls have two separate sets of Red powers.)
As for the others -
= Yes, Kakuranger had a female leader before Power Rangers - but I do think it's worth noting that she debuted twenty years after Super Sentai began, versus how Power Rangers adapted her as Delphine three years after Power Rangers began.
= I'm.....legitimately failing to think of any plus-sized Rangers in Sentai besides Champ in Kyuranger. Who was a robot bull. So should we really count that. Power Rangers also failed with plus-sized representation in the show, and the only examples it has are Jack from Hyperforce and Tigan from the comics. But at least Jack was...a person kdjfk
= Sentai does have a male Pink and a non-binary Ranger, which is great! We should have seen that kind of rep in the actual Power Rangers show, but we do have a decent number of both in the comics - Zack, Daniel, Casey, Kartyr, and Orion as male Pinks, and Mathis, Ori, and Death Ranger as non-binary Rangers.
So overall, while Sentai might have been the "first" to do a lot of this, Power Rangers has the advantage of quantity, thanks especially to the modern comics. But again, both sides can do better, and have barely scratched the surface of other aspects of representation.

Diversity in Blood and Stardust
Step 10 of the The Leviathan method
The speaking roles and diversity elements align with the key themes of identity, belonging, and connection. The primary focus on Bianca and Sephiroth allows for an in-depth exploration of their dynamic while maintaining cultural and personal diversity in the supporting cast.
Adjustments will include giving more speaking roles to minor characters in Blood and Stardust -- Zack, Cloud, and Tifa and ambient villagers -- to enhance diversity in future scenes.
Tumblr media
Point of Diversity 01: Celestial and Demonic Lineages
Characters with Speaking Parts:
Bianca Moore
Asmodeus (Azrakiel)
Description: Bianca's celestial and demonic heritage represents a fundamental aspect of her identity and the world-building in this story. As a product of Seraphine, an archangel, and Azrakiel, a demon lord, her existence challenges the binary perception of good versus evil. Her celestial lineage connects her to divine purposes, while her demonic side brings a raw, destructive power that she struggles to control. These dual aspects reflect the larger theme of coexistence between opposing forces. Asmodeus embodies the pure infernal aspect, representing tyranny and ambition, which contrasts Bianca's struggle for self-determination.
Point of Diversity 02: Human and Non-Human Species
Characters with Speaking Parts:
Sephiroth (Jenova-infused human)
Bianca Moore (human vessel for celestial/demonic powers)
Zack Fair (human)
Description: The world of Final Fantasy VII highlights interactions between humans, genetically modified beings (like Sephiroth), and Fantasy Worlds Collide features celestial/demonic hybrids (Bianca). This mix allows for exploration of themes such as identity, prejudice, and belonging. Sephiroth’s Jenova cells make him a bridge between human and alien, paralleling Bianca’s duality. Zack’s fully human perspective offers a grounded counterpoint to the complexity of these otherworldly figures. The interplay between these characters reveals varying degrees of humanity and power struggles within diverse biological backgrounds.
Point of Diversity 03: Social and Economic Classes
Characters with Speaking Parts:
Sephiroth (elite SOLDIER with privilege and isolation)
Zack Fair (mid-class SOLDIER)
Bianca Moore (nomadic survivor from unstable origins)
Description: Social stratification is a key cultural element in Final Fantasy VII. Sephiroth, though privileged as a high-ranking SOLDIER, suffers emotional isolation due to his upbringing in Shinra’s lab environment. Zack represents the middle-class worker striving to climb the ranks in SOLDIER and Shinra, embodying the aspirations and challenges of ordinary SOLDIERS. Bianca, coming from a background of displacement and instability, serves as a reminder of those left outside traditional societal structures. Their interactions highlight disparities in access to power, support systems, and emotional fulfillment.
Point of Diversity 04: Gender and Power Dynamics
Characters with Speaking Parts:
Bianca Moore (female protagonist with agency and power)
Sephiroth (male figure balancing dominance and vulnerability)
Jenova (feminine-coded influence)
Description: Gender roles are subverted and explored through characters’ interactions. Bianca’s strength and autonomy as a female protagonist challenge traditional gender expectations, as she wields celestial and demonic powers while navigating her vulnerabilities. Sephiroth’s internal conflict reflects the balance between his commanding presence as a SOLDIER leader and his vulnerabilities revealed in his connection with Bianca. Jenova’s feminine-coded manipulation plays on the concept of maternal influence turned sinister, contrasting Bianca’s nurturing yet fierce personality.
Point of Diversity 05: Sexual Orientation and Romantic Bonds
Characters with Speaking Parts:
Bianca Moore (demisexual, romantically connected to Sephiroth)
Sephiroth (pansexual, demiromantic/demisexual, romantically connected to Bianca)
Description: The inclusion of Bianca’s demisexual identity adds nuance to her developing relationship with Sephiroth. Their bond emphasizes emotional connection and mutual understanding over physical attraction, which subverts common romance tropes. This dynamic is further layered with their shared trauma and the mystical Red Thread of Fate, which forces a deeper, more spiritual connection. By centering a demisexual perspective, the narrative highlights the importance of trust and emotional intimacy in relationships.

Random rant, but I'm just wondering why Zack Snyder's Justice League keeps being referenced in media as shorthand for a toxic male space? I dunno about you, but I wrote hashtags, watched the movie on Max, got my DVD, and stfu. All of the people I follow on Twitter and Tumblr from fandom days have moved on to other things: other fandoms, reviewing films, discussing other media.
A lot of the leaders of the DCEU/ZS fandom were women, like the women who put together and hosted JusticeCon. I don't know the demographics of the fandom, but if there are more men than women or non-binary folks, then it's not like that's unusual. Most geek fandoms have more men, like Star Wars, Marvel, and any major video game. And there are infamous contingents of those fandoms who are misogynistic and racist. But for some reason, the DCEU/ZS fandom has become shorthand for a toxic male fandom.
I remember when the movie first came out, I thought people were finally empathetic. People were saying they were glad Zack got his version out after being mistreated following a family tragedy. They said the movie was pretty good, surprisingly good. They were relieved that the fandom would stop campaigning on Twitter.
But now, it seems like that temporary good will has faded, and people are back to making fun of the fans, and by extension, the movie. Making fun of the movie is, at the least, mean. Considering the circumstances that destroyed it in the first place.
Waiting for a year when no one references the movie or its campaigners. A lot of us moved on. You can too.

Nik! Did you watch Rebel Moon? How was it?
Tumblr media
Yes hello this is my 4 star review of rebel moon on letterboxd.
But first: a professional, somewhat critical review of rebel moon that engages with the film well, especially regarding anti-colonial themes, and isn't just knee-jerk regurgitated Snyder haterism:
And now more of my thoughts: [edit: Oh No, He Went And Talked For 3 Hours About It, Thanks For Coming To My TedTalk:)
Tumblr media
No one has a better knack at putting together a cast list SO ATTRACTIVE TO THE BISEXUALS. read it and weep, boys. (Jena Malone is there too but really just for 1 set piece)
...Jena Malone's one (1) scene set piece features her as an alien spider woman with legitimate grievances against the Empire who now wants to kill kids because all her kids were killed. Like, so valid, girl. Also, did I say Jena Malone as an alien spider-woman? And this is just one scene.
Look, if that pitch doesn't hook you, this film may not be for you, and that's okay, but by GOD my people are the people who hear "Jena Malone alien spider woman" and perk up. I love you, freaks.
The cinematography is ace and always will be under Snyder's direction. music by Tom Holkenborg SLAPS. Costuming and design overall is super super strong. (People on this hellsite are always complaining about inadequate, boring as hell sci-fi design and you get RM and you don't appreciate it for what it is. WAKE UP.)
Costume showcase! Second from the right in this photo showing off those sweet sweet sci-fi costume designs is my beloved non-binary they/them revolutionary Milius. CANONICALLY non-binary, let me add. Imagine SW doing that lmaoooooooooooo D*ve Filoni would fuckin keel over and die
Tumblr media
Kora! Our tragic female protagonist of color who's over 40, with a dark edgy sexy background. [KIDNAPPED AS A CHILD!! DEAD FAMILY!!! DEAD LOVER!!!!!!! SHE FAILED TO PROTECT HER WARD FROM ASSASSINATION!!!!! SHE IS THE MOST WANTED WOMAN IN THE UNIVERSE!!]
Bitches on tumblr LOVE taking failmen with sad backstories from media and blorbifying them, but the second it's a woman? please. If this was a man people would be writing the filthiest x reader smut you've seen since Mandalorian S1 came out. If this was a man you'd already have seen 20,000 fan drawings of her with her muscles and tits OUT. God where's my Kora fanart.
I personally have no problems with the plot of this movie (part 1 of 2) being "we must collect warriors to fight the evil empire." That's kinda fantasy story 101 and I still love new, varied interpretations of that plot.
If there's not much interconnecting plot because Kora's just gathering fighters, it's kinda like... that's the point, babes, they'll actually get to it in part 2. We're just at the "forming the team" stage. I revel in that part of a fantasy film and I always want it to be longer, so this film is like catnip to me.
Uh, yeah, this is getting long. More under the cut.
Entertainment professional nitpick time! I've seen someone say RM would be better as a TV show to introduce a new character each episode. And I truly don't think that fixes any of the problems this person has with the film, while introducing way more problems. (Who the fuck would go in on an original concept TV show where each episode introduces a new hero. You could not sell that pitch to a studio, ever, and viewers would instantly check out if they didn't like the introduced character of the week, and the same complaints would be made: it’s just a new character intro blah blah blah. This wouldn’t fix anything! It would very much make it worse!)
Me, like every day, through gritted teeth: that's... not... how... tv... works...
Like be realistic for a hot second with me. Television is not "long movie"—it is a different medium with different rules. Yes, the past decade has blurred many lines between TV and film, but they're still different mediums, and when people blur them ("it's a 10-hour movie!") the results often suck ass, because you either lack episodic structure or you lack feature structure. Snyder is a feature filmmaker who has never worked in TV. Whenever features people jump into TV, it's a whole other learning curve! They're usually terrible at it! You want Snyder to have to learn a new medium? You want him to learn 5/6-act TV structure from scratch? You want him to (horrified gasp) lead a writers room? Those are not his strengths, baby. Let him play in his space opera sandbox.
And I'm not done! You want the casting team to have to deal with the headache of getting feature film actors to star in a TV show? (Pay cuts! Longer commitments! TV production timelines!) You want to do that to me, personally, and fuck up the TV landscape some more by going, "Oh, we can basically just make a Longer Feature Film in TV"? Fuck off with that. TV has different production realities and different basic story structures. A [long] film [with two parts] is still a film, in structure and production practicalities.
Truly, Tumblr media studies brains (derogatory) at it again.
To each their own, but again, I think RM's structure is fun because it gives me more of the goodies (badass, varied character intros) for the price of one (2-hour film.) Like... that's the good stuff, that's often the most exhilarating part of a film for me. And contrary to popular belief, it's not intro to intro without rising tension or stakes. It builds tension as it goes because new facets of resistance against the Motherworld are explored in each character's intro scene. New ways they fight back, new worlds on which they fight back. And a ticking time bomb of the King's Gaze (king's gays lol) catching up.
Here, have a trailer bc Tumblr's mad at me for too much text in one block.
youtube
...I like the RM characters. I want to spend time with them and see what other zany shenanigans Snyder will have them do. (Alien bar fights! Taming a space gryphon! Lightsaber battle!) I like the side-quest-y, exploratory, space opera sandbox playground nature. It's fun, and like, again, if you don't perk up at the concept of collecting cool characters like action figures, this film may just not be for you.
To me it's a polycule. Like, the most messed up polycule in the whole galaxy, but it's a polycule.
Speaking of: THE CHARACTERS ROCK. Yeah, we're missing some significant character development because Netflix truncated Snyder's 4-hr, R-rated film into a 2-hr PG-13 version (likely to be able to release the 4-hr cut later, drum up new press, and get more eyeballs on the movie in total in a few months.) That's... not really Snyder's fault [even though he claims he's in on the plan... some part of me thinks it was Netflix's idea and not his. Stinks of studio meddling.] And it's not indicative of the quality of the actual film, which I currently see as more of an abridged version of the R-rated film that's gonna come out and fill up some of these story holes.
If people are judging the film for not being the 4-hour version, and then decide not to see the 4-hour version, that's their call, but it's kinda shitty to act like the 2-hr version is all there is. Like it probably wasn't Snyder's call to do a 2-hr cut! He's said that the 4-hr one is a whole different movie. I betcha the common criticisms (not enough character development, just jumps from character intro to character intro without interconnection, lack of structure) will be helped, if not outright solved, by the longer cut.
I think people are also happy to take a Part 1 of a movie if it's, say, Dune, and the source material has another part, so Part 1 is allowed to be fucking boring, whereas people don't give that kind of allowance to original sci-fi movies, WHICH IS A REASON WE DON'T GET ORIGINAL SCI-FI. If you're painting with as huge and cosmic a palette as space opera Rebel Moon, the 4-8 hours total across the 2 four-hour parts is kinda bare minimum for an epic. So... patience is a virtue? Let part 1 have elements of IT'S KIND OF A PROLOGUE?
What's that saying? If you want the rewards of space opera worldbuilding with an ensemble cast, you must submit to the mortifying ordeal of 2 hours of setup. Geez. Enjoy the wacky exposition or get out of the space opera genre.
Yeah, that leads me to the point of people who don't enjoy space opera are getting mad at RM for fulfilling the promises of the genre. You might truly be happier elsewhere. The whole thing is over-the-top, huge-scale MELODRAMA and I thrive on melodrama. If it's too cheesy for you, don't come to space operas!!!!!!!
On that note, people have said RM is too tropey and too Star Wars-y. But like I said. If you don't love the tropes get out of the genre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you aren't here for bloodier/hornier Star Wars get out of RM!!!!
Another big idea I would be remiss to skip over. RM is an explicitly, deliberately anti-colonial, anti-imperial text—far, far more so than any other mainstream sci-fi currently being released. Well-intentioned liberals love to tout Star Trek/Star Wars as progressive media but they really hedge and defang all their political commentary, especially in their 21st century franchise form—think the SW sequels/shows straight up woobifying K*lo Ren in realtime and the Trek shows that (while fun!) are really often just nostalgia bait.
RM is pretty fucking radical. Its theme basically is Kill Nazis—or in expanded form, something along the lines of "The empire will eat up everything of value in the universe unless it is met with unified armed resistance built on solidarity."
And just look at RM's casting. We're not colorblind here; we're very color-conscious. (That's a rant for another day, but I've really started to despise colorblind casting for its extremely well-intentioned-liberal "we're all the same" mentality. It just winds up erasing.) Anyway: RM features the explicitly American-English-Afrikaans empire vs. the Algerian Amazigh protagonist, Black freedom fighters, Japanese revolutionary... and like. Snyder's always gonna be into Vikings so obviously we have Space Vikings too, whatever. Look at me, I can criticize Snyder too! The Poor Sad Space Vikings are not the strongest part of the film!
...Anyway of course the empire vs. revolution is absolutely kind of Star Wars-y since RM is highkey Snyder's Star Wars, but it goes so much further than SW dreamed (or, perhaps, nightmared). SW's rebels/resistance continually get defanged because they're kind of foundationally space magic/singular hero's quest deals, and modern SW with the exception of Rogue One/Andor is just politically, socially stupid. In contrast, RM is about forming a coalition, without something like the Force to help you out. I could write an essay on the ways RM starts in the same place Star Wars starts but takes its politics so much more seriously, so much further.
While I'd argue "good politics" and "artistic quality" rarely correlate, RM is explicitly and doggedly a text about the colonial empire that exploits, enslaves, abuses, and seeks to utterly control marginalized people groups in its quest for domination—and god, I would LOVE to see a resurgence in very fanged, very angry political sci-fi.
One more aside. Snyder has been rightfully criticized for his earlier works basking in fascist-adjacent, hypermasculine aesthetics; 300 is notably super duper racist in how it depicts savage/monstrous Persians vs. Beautifully Good White Spartans Defending Their Culture. (more on "300 Bad" stored up in my brain if anyone wants THAT rant.) To Snyder's credit, none of his films since 300 have really done that—parts of Batman v Superman and his cut of Justice League purposefully poke fun at it. The hypermasculinity is kinda still there, but it's subsumed in the service of melodrama and mythic-flavored cinema, and it's kinda a staple of the action genre anyway, and if you're gonna criticize Snyder without criticizing EVERY ACTION MOVIE EVER, that's just more regurgitated Snyder haterism.
No one is doing mythic action like Snyder these days. No one has the balls and the command of melodrama & operatic visuals. And it comes clearly from Snyder's background in art & art history because all his shots are jam-packed with symbolism and meaning and allusion. So criticize the film for its weaknesses if you like but geez, if I see another post railing about the lack of CRAFT in RM, I will start biting. ALMOST NO BLOCKBUSTER HAS THIS LEVEL OF CRAFT. It's okay that you don't understand visual storytelling, babygirl, but please don't accuse Snyder of lacking craft.
Sorry, you've triggered Cinema Defense Mechanisms in me, I'm gonna have to sit down for a while after this.
I have more takes. Takes hot enough to fuel the King's Gaze (king's gays lol.) But I'll end with a funny observation: I transed my gender (cheers, shouts, hoorays) just about the time I was getting ready to watch Rebel Moon, and in one shocking, epiphanic moment I turned to my partner and went "Of COURSE I'm a man. I like Zack Snyder." So........... do with that what you will.
