Hello again

[iiep-wop]

Watching NatM 2 and good god Amelia Airheart annoys me, like- I love Amy Addams but her character is not it

-Shes just a bit pushy and then kissing Larry twice without his consent?

-The romance Larry and her are supposed to have is so SO forced I actually hate it, like there's no chemistry at all and Larry seems uninterested throughout the whole film

Just generally, god she gets on my nerves yk

So

Just did a rewatch of the Night at the Museum films. Now, don't get me wrong, I love those films, really fun and cool, love the queer lil cowboy and Roman, but I have beef with the second film, which is supposed to be the best?, solely because of the portrayal of Amelia Earhart.

And I remembered I have Tumblr for this reason :)

Spoilers, of course.

So she's introduced when they arrive at the British museum, as the first woman to cross the Pacific and a pioneer in many other things.

The only other moment she's treated with respect is when they meet the Tuskegee's and it's only for a moment.

She spends the rest of the film being reduced to the stereotype of a woman head-over-heels for a man. She literally follows him like a puppy dog from the very first moment they meet.

What kind of representation is that? The whole time is spent saying that the expos in the museum are for people to learn. What about the little girl, watching the movie, who will only remember Amelia Earhart, a badass woman, as the love interest?

Sure, you wanna add romance to appeal to a wider audience? Octavius and Jedediah are right there. Not only that, but they're clearly fan favourites, since their screen time goes up noticeably in the second film and they have their own storyline/focus in the third one. For crying out loud, they're both very obvious with it (see, for example: "hold my hand" [Octavius] {and the ensuing small couples quarrel/denial} and the fricken "I ain't quittin you" from Brokeback Mountain [Jed {thank you, Owen Wilson}]) as well as the roman and cowboy periods being arguably the gayest periods in history. It's the perfect cocktail for a cute and sweet romance that was left just on the verge.

Don't like that? (Although, how could you not?) Sacajawea and Teddy. Already established relationship, adorable and it gives Robin Williams more screen time bc who doesn't love Robin Williams?

The point is, the whole theme of the film is children go to the museums to learn about the exhibits in them, and the film is made in a similar fashion. All the young girls are gonna get from this is that she was just another housewife. No matter that she could fly a plane like no-one, what she's good at is being this dudes girlfriend {which she insists upon, even after he shows that he's not interested (although he is? I didn't fully understand that. I think at least at first he really wasn't)} she presses on and insists, practically forcing even.

They had an enormous opportunity to show something great, and they blew it. They had the platform, the means and the traction. They took Amelia Earhart's name, and her legacy, and beat it to pieces.

Did this for my class and it is currently midnight.

Happy 21st of September!

Finally got around to dubbing this post by @somebodywithawifi. Kinda nice to take a break from the 100 follower special and do something silly.

Some voices were provided by @rivstyx!

[kittylover776]

Random Thought:

I once read a fic where Nick is accidentally shrunken by the tablet to make him Jed and Octavius’ size, so what if Ahk allows Teddy, Wea, Atilla, and the rest of the gang to be miniatures for the night so their small companions can show them around their exhibits? I’m sure the two would be more than happy to give them a tour. It would also allow the bigger gang to experience what it’s like being small, and what the pros and cons of it are.

It’d be kinda adorable, tbh.
