it's finally happening (i am writing an essay about the feminist message of Monsters vs Aliens)
Unfortunately, for such a large grade the actual assignment in only meant to be a few paragraphs long (i thought this was like a 5 page essay when i picked the movie but i'm not changing it so I guess I'll just have to be brief for now)
#monsters vs aliens#i was so prepared for that 5 page essay too#i have a doc set up for APA style and everything#but long story short#fuck Derek and your mediocre insidious ways#I See You#and I see this movie in how its entire premise is challenging the way misogyny shaped classic horror tropes and how the very existence of i#classic monsters can be used to explore the liberation of women within the genre#and bring up other outcasts with them in the process#the monsters in this movie do nothing but build Suzan up while the humans are either actively making her small (pun incredibly intended)#(part of the metaphor of ginormica)#or are well-meaning but ignorantly complicit in it#i love this movie
