So I just watched the school for good and evil movie, mostly for Kit Young, and the two main girl characters essentially recreated the main story beats of the scene from beauty and the beast where belle’s love saves the beast, complete with a kiss on the lips, only to then reiterate that their love is “best friends only” AND I just went in the tag to find out that in the books these two girls are SIBLINGS?????? I think this is the most convoluted case of queer baiting I have ever experienced and my head is SPINNING netflix pls you’re going to give the kids watching this a COMPLEX

#WHAT did I just watch #the school for good and evil spoilers #I never read the books they came out long after I aged out of middle grade #I just like fairytales #and clearly the screenwriter/s wanted to make these girls a queer couple so just DO IT #what the actual fucj #so bad it’s hilarious #and the best part is up until that Freudian mess of an ending the rest of the movie was really pretty good #BAFFLING #don’t get me wrong I was bothered by the gender essentialism #and the equating of oldness and hooked noses with ugliness and evil #have we learned nothing with the ageism and antisemitism Hollywood?????#I am losing it someone laugh at the madness with me
