#black women in tv and movies

[mollysunder]

Sky and Viktor's relationship is such a horror movie to me. You've got a man who was frustrated by the limitations placed on his life that were out of his control, like his class, mobility, and general health. Despite everything, he manages to rise beyond his station and avoid being an assistant for the rest of his life.

Then you've got a woman from the same background who admires him and all that he's accomplished in spite of the similar class based prejudices they faced all the while she's his assistant. She works up the courage to take leap of faith and reach out to him with her own research to show what's possible if they worked together as equals. And then he gets her killed!

Sky's death isn't the end of it because while it affects Viktor it is in no way meaningful to Sky's life or value as a person whatsoever. Even the pendant he wears in her memory is based on the design of her notebook, but that was just her notebook's cover, she probably bought it from a store and the design itself is probably mass produced. Why not use Sky's signature that was in her letter and in the notebook, the thing part if the notebook with real value?

Then Sky's brought back in s2 and she really only exists to be Viktor's assistant again, who he kills, again! But this time it's different because this time Viktor's making a conscious decision to look Sky in the eye and kill her... to prove he's changed.

In the middle of all this, in no way has Sky's death been mourned by her family or anyone else who could have known her. Jayce wasn't affected by the reveal, he didn't think it was important to tell Heimerdinger, or anyone who knew her. Nothing about her life, death, or disappearance has spurred any emotional reaction or even curiosity about what happened to her.

Sky's new life was also extremely isolated because she became further tied to him (in some ways you could say she was defined by him). Viktor never mentioned Sky to anyone in the material plane during his commune arc, so she only exists to him and she has no way to communicate with others, she's just there for Viktor's sake.

Then in the finale we learn this all a part of a big time loop where Viktor actively set the wheels in motion to have him and Jayce create hextech together, but if everything follows as is, that means Sky is violently killed in those timelines too. That means Viktor weighed the costs and decided over and over and over again that Sky was expendable enough to let her die for his plan to work eventually. How is that not murder at this point?

What's worse is that post-finale Sky's humanity is a point of dispute amongst the fandom, the VAs, and the writers themselves. Sky's the hexcore manipulating Viktor. No, Sky's a manifestion of Viktor's guilt. No, she's actually supposed to represent his humanity/conscious made physical. And in none of these arguments do they discuss Sky as a person, she's just an object meant to serve Viktor both in the narrative sense and literal sense as his assistant.

The most absolutely maddening part is that with Viktor's new bio on the League site, not only have most traces of Viktor had been scrubbed by Piltover's archive, but Sky's life has been completely wiped. Her death was implied to have been swept under the rug, and only described as the "loss of life" consequence from his Hexcore experiment.

Viktor was afraid of dying a senseless death (created by the conditions Piltover condemned his birth to) in obscurity and then he turned it into Sky's destiny.

THIS TOO!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Script:

"LISTEN, I have said before, and I will say it again.

I think a lot of discourse about media that features black female protagonists, has been ruined because of the initial vitriol of just the thought of having us at the forefront of anything from the jump.

The way ya'll treat black femme leads when a project is just announced!

I'm not even talking rolled out .I'm not even talking streamed, yet.

Ya'll haven't seen a single episode. You have not watched the movie.

I'm talking the cast list comes out, and immediately it's misogynoir. IMMEDIATELY, it's racial slurs. Immediately it's woke.

Which is just a dog whistle for 'oh my god, I'm gonna be forced to see black people, even worse black women as the center of attention.

Honestly, this goes for centering almost any marginalized identity on screen. But, I'm gonna talk about black women, because we are the ones that ya'll care about the least.

And just the announcement of a character or a cast list starts out like that and then the project is rolled out. Then some of ya'll wanna conveniently list other things about the show, other things about the movie, that makes it subpar. Supposedly.

I'm sorry but a lot of us are not convinced that that is made in good faith.

Some of ya'll, might be genuine, but a lot of ya'll just want a way to drag the project! Without being called out on your bigotry!

Sometimes, it's conveniently nitpicked to a degree that other projects featuring other different looking kinds of people aren't nitpicked to that level.

We don't fucking believe you, cause we know that some of ya'll conveniently picking other parts of the project apart were also in the comment section calling so and so a monkey.

We can't have a good faith discussion about these projects, because some of ya'll or your compatriots allegedly not you, have made the environment disproportionately hostile since before the project was even rolled out.

NO, please don't deflect, because we are not even yet talking about the quality of the writing of the project, the quality of the writing of the character.

We're talking about the black femme actors and characters, not even being welcome to exist.

So, if you're upset that 'oH wE cAn'T eVeN dIsLiKe a PiEcE oF mEDiA aNyMorE bEcAuSe oF dIvErsItY.'

BLAME THOSE LOWLIVES!!! [I agree!!!]

Blame them that are supposedly not you.

And somewhere down the road, when ya'll are not triggered just by the concept of black women existing, then maybe we can chat!

But until then... WE DON'T FUCKING BELIEVE YOU. [Nicque, has said it for me! I never believe them EVER. lol]

Cause we are tired of being treated as subhuman and then being gaslit about it by some of you further down the road.

FOOD FOR FUCKING THOUGHT.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

P.S. I love Nicque Marina!!!

P.P.S. if you're one of those people that cried about the Little Mermaid being black and hate when anything features a black person, even deep down. Like, you'll use the whole 'I cAn'T rELaTe tO tHe NaRRatIvE tHaT FeATuReS A bLaCk PeRSoN' as an excuse. I suggest you DO NOT, and I REPEAT, DO NOT follow this account.

I absolutely am fucking annoyed with those people. I'm even more annoyed that they still exist in this year of our DRAGON LORD 2024!

So... if you are bothered by this. Please, get out of here already. Leave. Use your freedom of choice. If you are ok with it, and understand the conversation being had. Then awesome. I do talk about this a lot.

Not only here, but on my channel as well, but in a very 'ME' type of way, and how I see it.

What is going on in Hollywood with Black women led shows + movies?

Hulu announced the cancelation of two shows today each led by a Black woman, Unprisoned and Black Cake.

Hollywood is disappearing Black women in shows and movies yet very few #media people seem to be talking about or even acknowledging this is going on. 😕
