if we were to look at it through a racial lens, I do find it very interesting that Jupe’s wife is white. that the audience at Star Lasso are majorly white. that he’s basically robbing the Haywoods, a black family, of their horses to feed them to an alien creature for white people’s entertainment. that he was the token asian adoptee in sitcom as a child. the model minority. fitting himself back into a system that used and failed him as a child, so he can find some semblance of respect and power as an adult man, only to still be swallowed up whole.

#the starlight group were white yeah? I only saw it in cinemas a day ago so still fuzzy but I don’t recall many other poc #still. thinking about it. special vs lucky #but what’s the difference between being named an animal and being treated like an animal. isn’t it the same thing? it just looks different #it just sounds different. being special. getting lucky. is there a true division or does it just have the same result sometimes?#I’m not saying that like. Jordan Peele thinks interracial marriage is a sign of hating yourself that’s stupid #but when Jupe specifically gets married to a white lady and lives in the neo-west #which is heavily associated (fairly or not) with white people and white suburbia #I think it does say something about him. he still needs them to like him. it’s like a sickness #nope #nope 2022 #nope movie #nope film #ricky park #ricky jupe park #jupe park
