Metaphor Brown

Very good. Just needs more regular female characters. I removed a star for that reason. I am glad that the main characters are men of color and I think that could be explored more thematically, but even so there's an obvious gap in female presence compared to Rebels and even Mandalorian. Love Omega but there's no reason they can't pick up more crew and have some of them be women to even things out. Really hoping Hera becomes part of the crew after the awesome last episode (plus there could be some fun drama with raising teenage girls for Hunter). Episode 11 is my second favorite episode so far (the third being my fav). There are other female characters that it would make sense to join the bad batch's side after some more plot too (Thinking Nala Se could be an interesting character to turn against the empire considering her history which could bring interesting plot/tension and maybe betrayel eventually). I'd also love to see Cere Junda at some point. Not picky about it, but please bring in more female characters. Thank you! Great show so far! :)

The two women in this show are hilarious. How this can exist in the 1950s and anyone could argue women can't be funny is beyond me. We laughed so much watching this show. It's very clever in its criticism and satire on the assumptions and double standards women face. And the music was lovely. Is it the most woke thing you'll watch? Probably not, but there is something very empowering in how it centers the desires, preferences and ambitions of the two women throughout the film. It's empowering seeing them navigate the world of men with cleverness and female friendship. It's so interesting thinking about how this came out when so many shows were making women into villians via the noire genre due to a backlash against women working during WWII (the men are back, go home!). It makes some of marilyns lines feel almost scolding of the cultural judgement against women. I think you have to keep that cultural context in mind when watching.

The show is fun. Has a bit of a slow start but once it gets going its fun. It's a bit bizarre seeing people rate this show low and similar shows with male leads or lead by thin people getting glowing reviews when the show is fun. It has a lot of similar charm as the Good Place as well as Good Omens. The quality of the show reminds me a lot of Last Man on Earth so it is very bizarre how that show has way higher reviews to a show of similar quality. The horribly low ratings are a clear evidence of bias, in my opinion. It truly is not a 25/100 show.

Fantastic movie, especially to watch with or discuss with family you have healed past hurt with.

This movie is a real starling. I mean it's great. Even the men who have titles are very mad a plus size woman is center stage in this heartwarming drama. Absolutely foul the rating bombs. Not earned in the least. Everytime there is something feminine that is good or great these critics bomb the ratings. Women centered stories are the butt of jokes. Even the official critics who try to pretend they are not prejudiced by picking token artists to give positive ratings have shown their colors here. When a woman they do not think should be center stage gets to have a center stage moment and it be in a way that humanizes them other than their marginalization these critics bomb the ratings unfairly just as badly as the trolls do. I suspected this many years ago when they gave Ava Duvernay's Wrinkle in Time such low ratings despite it being just as good as any thor movie. You give marvel films of similar quality 6s and 7s but when it's a black girl that is center stage and the focus is not her marginalization or racial trauma but her love for her father you review bomb. And now here a film about a fat woman where the focus is not her lack of self control or mentally ill or the butt of the joke or lack of motivation or overcoming insecurity but instead about grief and a loving straight sized husband it gets reviewed bomb. In case any of these critics are reading, please know women's humanity isn't defined by how attracted you are to them or how sorry you feel for them. Also a type of couple reflected on screen does not mean that is the kind of coupling you will find yourself in and you are in danger of it. There are millions of people that reflect this dynamic of one plus size and one straight sized. Get over yourselves.
