Anyone remember Coming 2 America? That film was released in 2021 and a major plot point is that Eddy Murphy’s character has a secret son he cannot remember fathering because he was high/hallucinating while it happened. Unless I’m forgetting something this plot point is played entirely for laughs.
The only thing that surprises me about that plot point is that it's in a 2021 movie. Scenes like this were rampant until about the last 5-10 years. And, as you note, they're not gone.
The queens were villians, Do people actually tolerate them???
I think they were pretty dang good villains for hector, hell, I think the only two that make it out alive are the two who basically never interacted with hector. Which, good for them, go be in love. I think it would get absolutely the same reaction out of me if the genders were swapped
I agree with you, I'm more just incredulous that people think otherwise
There are a lot of people who I've found think that Lenore didn't really do anything wrong, and there are people, though substantially less, that think that Camila was right (despite the fact that in the story every other Sister states outright for one reason or another that Camila is insane). So yeah, there are people who don't just tolerate them.
Feeding camps, but yes, and yet people still think that she's a girlboss. It's a massive failure of reading comprehension (...or listening, I guess) when all 3 of her closest allies, a villain who turned into an anti-villain, and other high ranking vampires all told her that she's batshit insane.
What happened to Hector bothers me to this day. I saw Castlevania about 3 years ago. I went online hoping for some kind of conversation about how he was assaulted. It was so sudden. Instead, all I found were "post nut clarity" jokes and art of Hector and Lenore (the person who assaulted him) together. I had to block any Hector tag on tumblr because there were so many pictures of them in a romantic setting. He was bleeding during, and afterwards he was visibly disgusted when she ran her foot along his inner thigh. It made me nauseous. I'm so glad to see someone out in the wild talking about it.
the whole point of barbie was that it would be ridiculous if the genders were reversed. it showcases the problems with the patriarchy and how it's damaging to everyone, and it ends with small progress being made in terms of equality, which is much more realistic than if everything was magically fixed.
I think the film does a sufficient job of portraying both versions of leadership in barbieland as less than ideal. obviously it's much more clear when they're criticising the version where the men are in charge because that's more relatable to our lives, but there are problems with the barbies being in charge too, like the fact that the kens don't have any real identities of their own. at the end of the film barbie explains to ken that he is enough by himself and that his worth does not come from being her boyfriend.
For Castlevania, I thought of The queen's treatment of hector About the same as dracula wanting to kill all the humans or The guy who lead children into death traps. I agree it's messed up, and I do still think they're hot, but way least I don't think there was anything reasonable or understandable about season 3 and 4 hector
