maybe if i don't think about ratld as "southeast asian representation" or whatever i might actually be able to tolerate it
#ratld
#that's a big IF
#casting choices & cherrypicking of aesthetics from different cultures aside the messaging was not handled well
#namaari's character is just ??? to me
#did she actually really do anything to earn raya's trust?? her finger was literally pressing on the trigger
#and the attempt to escape w the gem pieces after everyone else got druunified - what was that supposed to accomplish??
#how was that action supposed to be interpreted by the audience??
#don't get me wrong i think she had a lot of potential but she was way underdeveloped
#actually all of them were
#is it bc this wasn't a musical & we didn't get the shitload of exposition we'd normally get?? bc i'd rather have the exposition
#and i like musicals anyway so
#the nicest thing i can say about the movie rn is the animation was nice
#i liked the fights and the lighting in some scenes went off
#i'm sure the crew worked hard but disney as a mega-corporation can kiss my southeast asian ass
#anyway support southeast asian creatives & southeast asian stories
#ps i was so detached from the movie i couldn't even really feel raya/namaari until i saw an edit set to dati by sam c & tippy ds
#now a ratld modern filipino au lives rent-free in my head
#hey we should just do that fuck disney raya belongs to the southeast asians now
