So far, the fucking Rachel Zegler and her annoying and rude comments about original Snow White film, managed to:
1) Absolutely, 100% convince me to never watch the shitty film they’re making. I wasn’t excited before, hated the casting of the main character (she’s fucking called Snow WHITE for her fair skin), the shit they pulled with dwarves not being played by little people etc. But now I’m not giving this shit show even a slighted chance. It’s not Snow White
2) It ignited such fierce love fire for the original animated film, I cannot. Snow White has never been my favorite or even the film I watched a lot. Ever. (But it caused a paradox of my childhood where every time anyone had gifted me anything Disney Princess, it was with Snow White). But after the shit Rachel said about the original and its characters?? I’m gonna love it for the rest of my days to just fuck her up through karma
I’m constantly meh or disappointed with every Disney live action remake that came after Beauty and the Beast, but this “stunt” they pulled with Snow White is absolutely atrocious and I really hope that this film never sees the light of day bcs of the strikes and/or it ends Disney’s live action remakes obsession for good
And I’m wishing for the careers of Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot to be destroyed after that

I’m not surprised by the low RT score for Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon”.
His cult following is undeserved. His films have been very uneven and excessively violent.
“300” (2007) - I liked it. It capture the look and feel of Frank Milker’s comic series. Sure, it had graphic violence and the acting was bombastic but so was the writing of the comic. (61% RT score)
“Watchmen” (2009) - Snyder achieved what many thought was impossible. Over all I liked it but it was very violent. Later when I compared it to Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons opus, I realized how much Snyder increased the violence. Events in the comic that were shown at a distance, Snyder rubbed them in your face. (65% RT score)
Sucker Punch (2011) - it has already been announced that Snyder would direct Man of Steel, when this came out. I got worried because Sucker punch was a shitty mess. No surprise it received a 22% RT score.
DC Comics Universe (2013 - 2017) - the major problem with all the DC films he directed is that they were way too violent. In MOS (56% score) we were told Superman represent “hope” but Snyder never showed us; instead wherever Superman went, massive destruction followed. BvS (29% score) The World’s Greatest Detective became Lex Luthor’s stooge. And JL (39% and 72% scores) it was a mess before Joss Weadon.
The best things Snyder contributed to the DC movie universe was the casting of Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, and Ezra Miller (yes him too).

The Martian Women: A Warrior's Heart
Now more than ever we see questioned the humanity and dignity of women who do not fit the stereotype of what they are supposed to be, look, sound, or act like. Such cases like Imane Khelif are heartbreaking to witness, specially considering the way these false allegations overshadow the efforts and hard work behind her skills, even more so now as an Olympian.
Imane has her Moon and Mars in Sidereal Scorpio, and the themes of others trying to take control of the narrative of her life and existence is ridiculous and overwhelming. On top of it, her Mercury and Jupiter are both in Aries. She is a huge embodiment of how the Martian experience tends to play out.
They are the individuals who deal with the consequences of being "too much" simply by not being afraid of voicing their opinions, of their appearance, or any other aspect regardless of how conflictive it might be. They have and endless source of power to pursuit their passions, and they often achieve as long as they their ego on check.
Childhood years consisted of a push and pull between not being enough of any of the polarities. Often, attracting unwanted attention and different degrees of aggressive/hostile behaviors (spoken, actions, etc). They learn to project outwardly the results of withstanding all of those experiences, and paradoxically are blamed for having a natural hostile response to a hostile environment or actions.
After being forced to repress their hurt, anger, and valid emotions they learn to channel it towards a goal because their nature (Aries and Scorpio) is to plan, analyze, execute, and repeat all over again. They are the Valkyries, Amazonians, etc who learn collectively how to fend for themselves in all aspects outside of patriarchal laws or standards.
From a historic and folklore perspective, Valkyries were associated and often accompanied by ravens or horses which matches perfectly the nature of Ashwini (horses) and Bharani (crows are similar to ravens) which are both in Aries. These mythical warriors guided souls to their depiction of heaven, and Krittika is ruled by the Sun + has a priestly caste. On different levels of humanity we've always had women who take their necessary place with violent, aggressive, and chaotic driven actions as much as men, yet its forced to suppression the most.
In terms of contemporary entertainment, many other concepts of female warrior or heroic/strong/independent female characters from all eras have Martian placements. This is not to say that Mars is the only representation for these arechetypes, but in terms of characters who have a really grim and/or dark past, it fits very well. Other planets (Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter) also have their own depiction of cunning female led roles but their background, characteristic, etc are all different. I will expand with other planets on a different post.
Brigitte Nielsen who was the main character in Red Sonja has her Moon in Aries (Ashwini).
Uma Thurman has her Sun in Aries (Bharani).
Summer Glau from the Firefly series and its continuation movie Serenity has her Moon in Aries (Ashwini).
Saoirse Ronan has her Moon and Venus in Aries (Bharani).
Gal Gadot as Wonder Women has her Sun in Aries (Bharani)
Lucy Liu (Sun in Scorpio (Anuradha/Jyestha) and Moon in Aries (Bharani), Cameron Diaz (Moon in Aries, within Krittika) from Charlie's Angels.
Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow has her Sun in Scorpio (Anuradha)
Peta Wilson in La Femme Nikita with Sun in Scorpio (Vishakha)
They function perfectly well alone and also within a group as as long as there is mutual respect. Society doesn't seem to know yet how to properly behave and treat individuals like them. Martian handle themselves in such a raw and powerful form that those who have weak morals, will power, inner strength, courage, or self expression regardless of gender might feel as if they are being personally attacked.
Now, it is good to keep in mind the distinction between deliberate attack or self defense. Due to previous trauma related with heavy power struggles they can easily feel wounded, and will could show an exaggerated or uncontrolled form of aggression.
It could also simply be intentional because both signs (Aries & Scorpio) tend to become more resentful or comfortable using violence if they understand is fair or justified. They LOVE "female rage". Every film, piece of literature, song, or form of art related to anger, disconformity, sadness, rage, wickedness, and other chaotic expressions connect with their suppressed darkness.
It allows them to fantasize of a world where women are able to demonstrate their anger freely without judgement, specially when justified and valid. They understand other women beyond the nature of their caged self under patriarchal standards, but the downside is that others do not connect easily with them.
This is why despite being the real underdogs of many empowering movements they are often lonely, alienated, punished, and treated poorly. It’s the most noticeable with Scorpio rashi, specifically Jyestha where they naturally attract envy, jealousy, and ill wishes the most. They are the ruthless Scorpios who don't really care about turning off their moral compass if it means achieving their goals. They are often only loyal to their vision and those who fit in it.
It is essential for Martian women to maintain a healthy management of their anger and learn how to release it in meaningful ways. Any type of exercise (gym, cardio, pilates, yoga, etc) or sports can become one of the most common channels to fuel their bodies and release heavy emotional overloads. Staying in touch with their root and sacral points by doing activities that promote you to feel safe, nurtured, grounded, creative, sensual, etc will also be optimal.
Protect your energy in all forms, and stay away from individuals who constantly trigger your fight or flight. The ones who make you feel constantly drained and tired. It can be easy for others to syphon your energy because you always have an abundant amount, so be mindful of the people you entertain, engage, and interact with frequently.
Ensure to maintain a good balance between mind and heart as well. Allow yourself to be vulnerable with others. Prioritize feeling safe and comfortable around others. Learning to control your impulses if you're an Aries, or letting go of control if you're a Scorpio. Protect yourself, but don't shut down completely.
