Note

my only addition is that it's a bit of a reverse Cinderella, in regards to social standing; it's a move from royalty to commoner, rather than commoner to royalty

whole cake island is the best Cinderella retelling we have seen in ages. It really follows it's source material in its themes of abusive relationships and following your dreams. And it doesn't try to turn Cinderella into a girlboss heroine. She is strong enough for surviving an abusive situation! Her kindness is her greatest strength!

You're so right I can't even say anything you summed it all up perfectly 👏👏
