#Legally Blonde

[maxdibert]

One of the things I love most about Elle Woods is that I would totally adore her. I mean, I’m a terribly dark and depressed person who loves grimy dive bars, suicidal poets, and cult films—I need people dressed in pink with naturally elevated dopamine levels to remind me the world isn’t total crap. Literally the kind of people I’d kill for.

#The college experience is literally being Elle in this scene

was watching legally blonde for the first time in years with @theworstinpeople, another buddy, and @thefandomcassandra when this scene came up, at which point i was legally obligated to try to make this happen with theworstinpeople's help.

I agree! The little screentime Elle and Emmet showed a solid foundation of trust and respect, especially in the end court scene when Emmet agreed to serve as Elle's senior lawyer backup. I honestly didn't care that they kissed since the movie was about Elle's self-actualization and not about her getting a new boyfriend.

The Kataang kiss was not earned and the show would have been better off if the last scene was a group scene with Katara and Aang maybe sharing some kind of hopeful gaze.

It Shouldn't Need to Happen...

Someone open the tequila! I'm back on my Kataang salt.

One of the (many) things I hate about Kataang is that there is no real build on Katara's side. Even the moments that get trotted out as proof that Katara liked Aang back (like the dance in that stupid Footloose pastiche that meant nothing to the overall plot) are undercut by the fact that Katara doesn't acknowledge them. It's business as usual afterwards, and nothing about how she treats him (like her baby brother-son) changes. The only explicit proof we get that Katara likes him back in an he is my equal and I see him as a potential partner way is that awkward kiss in the end. Here's the thing, that kiss shouldn't have been necessary.

Go with with me for a second. I was recently revisiting Legally Blonde (classic), and it gave me another reason to hate the Kataang kiss in the finale. Compare how Kataang was handled to Elle and Emmet's relationship in Legally Blonde. We never see them together in an explicitly romantic way. Even the last scene, at Elle's graduation, he's in the crowd, and the whole post script reveal that he and Elle had been dating for two years and were about to be engaged could have been skipped and nothing would've been lost. The movie wasn't about Elle and Emmet. It was about Elle learning that she was smarter and more capable than anyone realized, even her, and she didn't have to change anything about her personality to be successful. Still, the fact that they did end up together makes sense. We understand why they are attracted to each other. In Emmet, Elle finds a rare supportive figure who believes in her abilities and values her beyond her physical appearance. He, in turn, is drawn to Elle's determination and intelligence (and the fact that she's hot is a bonus). That's made clear in the movie before anything remotely romantic happens between them. They don't kiss in the movie at all. We don't even see the proposal. Still, them ending up together makes sense because the movie set them up for it. It was a bit disappointing that we didn't get to see them kiss, but that's not what the movie was about. My point is, we didn't need them to kiss to believe their relationship. We may have wanted it, but we didn't need it. Because the writers did their job.

Circling back around to Kataang. They needed the kiss to show where their relationship stood. If the show had ended without them kissing, even with Katara going out to stand on the balcony with Aang, it could just be read as completely platonic. Following with the undercurrent of mom/sitter and child, Katara going out to the balcony with Aang could've been read as his caretaker's quiet pride in the child she'd raised. They needed to kiss to make it clear that their relationship was no longer platonic, and it was entirely because the writers had neglected to give Katara and real reason to want to be with Aang romantically.

That's its. That's the post.

Actually I do love with Legally Blonde that "what, like it's hard?" is a blatant lie, Elle worked her ass off to get her LSAT and to get into Harvard, there's never any indication in the narrative that she has any magic ability to do law, she's very intelligent but more importantly she is is deeply dedicated to what she cares about. It's always a story about really hard work, it's never about coasting on talent.

Shoutout to my tragic theatre kids. My girls born to play Elle Woods who have dark hair. My people destined to be Misha Bachinski who are 5'2". My people who should be analyzing newsies choreo who have face blindness. My Cats fanatics with no flexibility. My girls made to be a Veronica but are forced to be a Martha. Female Audrey II s. Male Janet Weiss's. The wrong range for the right role. You are meant for this character but they weren't designed for you and there's nothing you can do
