@sockdooe, This is the full original image:
Tumblr media
According to the Tumblr post I originally snagged it from, it's an early piece of promotional artwork, meant to depict Keith as the series's central character. Shiro is shoved into the background, presumably to illustrate that he was intended to fulfill a Doomed Mentor role.
#Correspondence.#sockdooe#Takashi Shirogane#Shiro#You're nothingness but shining and everywhere at once.#Allura#Hunk Garrett#Keith Kogane#Pidge Holt#Katie Holt#Lance McClain#Voltron: Legendary Defender#It IS a really nice piece with a ton of personality but I hate a lot of what it represents.#Specifically how Allura is just sort of thrown in there like an awkward Token Female when she's one of the most important people in the#entire series.#And of course the sidelining and eventual nerfing of Shiro because the writers simply HAD to get him out of the way to achieve their#desired team line-up.#Until they were delivered the ultimate reality check in the form of an order from the higher-ups that they couldn't permanently kill a#popular character who also happens to be a gay man#leaving them scrambling like the clowns they were to figure out how to reintegrate him into the story.#Then the voice actor for *their* 'Chosen One' had scheduling conflicts that made him unavailable to them for a significant chunk of time.#Call me petty but I call that karma.#If they hadn't been dead set on killing Shiro they could have avoided the entire ridiculous clone plot because he still would have been#a member of the team and easily able to step back into his previous role of Black Paladin had Steven Yeun's outside job commitments#unavoidably necessitated Keith being M.I.A. for a period.#But I expect too much of showrunners who couldn't handle having a disabled main lead and exploited his sexuality for internet brownie#points despite having every intention of killing him and keeping him dead.

Okay if there's ever a Six movie then Halle Bailey should TOTES play Katherine Howard, okay, I called it!

La tarantola dal ventre nero (Black Belly of the Tarantula, 1971)
"Yes, I've always told you to drop it, it's true. But now... you're not giving up. Not now. And I don't really care about the movie. If they're out to get you, it means the murderer is afraid of you. It means you know what you're doing. He's afraid of you."
#La tarantola dal ventre nero#black belly of the tarantula#italian cinema#giallo#1971#paolo cavara#marcello danon#lucile laks#giancarlo giannini#claudine auger#barbara bouchet#rossella falk#silvano tranquilli#barbara bach#stefania sandrelli#annabella incontrera#ezio marano#giancarlo prete#nino vingelli#eugene walter#anna saia#relatively early in the giallo canon but it's nice how this is already starting to play with the established formula; Giannini's lead would#ordinarily be a loner out of his depth or an overly confident cop‚ but instead he's a cop out of his depth‚ crippled with self doubt and#paralysed by his own dissatisfaction with his chosen profession. he does his job well and correctly but still people keep dying and still#he solves the case less through some genius epiphany of what he's been missing and more from simply being in the right place at the right#time. it lends this all a sense of helpless ennui‚ the giallo as predestined exercise. unusual too in lacking a strong female leading#character; Bouchet is introduced as the apparent audience avatar then unceremoniously killed off a few minutes in‚ with no one really#rising to take her place. it's an interesting and downbeat dissection of the tropes‚ exposing that while plotting was usually king for#these films‚ in reality (and there is a streak of realism through this film which many gialli miss) it has little impact on the people and#the lives concerned. there is a great complex qeb of intrigue going on but it ends up having nothing to do with the killer's motive

The Melancholic Beauty of Perseverence in "The Color Purple"
Content Warning: The Color Purple (2023) contains scenes that depict domestic violence, sexual assault, verbal abuse, and racial violence. Spoilers for The Color Purple ahead! So, I was originally going to do a comparison to the Oscar-nominated 1985 film adaptation. But personally, after struggling through a book I was listening to that put me in a very upsetting place, I decided that I wasn’t…
