Superboy (1994) #31

The full scope of Kon's life as a commercialized personality and trademark in the DC world is only teased but Kon's incarnation was commentary about the consumerism of Superman so we can expect his merch to have been equivalent to our world and Superman.

He had comics, cartoons, every single merch item you can think of and after Rex Leech leaves the narrative you don't see it mentioned much anymore as Kon's character evolves into something more serious and ideas shifted for how his stories should go.

Every now and then I do see some people make claims that Kon wasn't a child star or a celebrity but this is simply not the truth - he might not have been television on the regular but the exploitation he experienced and the merchandising of his self, the dehumanization was all very much active.

This makes the fact that later in his series when he is homeless and doesn't have money to rent an apartment all the more heartbreaking because... he's not getting compensation for any of this.

Earlier in the series charitable donations are mentioned so we can explain his lack of compensation on the best explanation that the profits were going directly to charity.... or.... it was squandered and Kon simply didn't care enough to investigate it (because why would heroes ever need money?), and the adults around him didn't care either.

The church never makes mistakes!

If you’re going to portray forbidden erotic desires, might as well do it explicitly — subtlety doesn’t cut it for a lifetime of repression.

I think that’s what drew me to actually pay attention to this film. I looove me a silly little nun movie, and I needed something to distract me from my bipolar brain pretending I’ve never had a single clear thought in my life. Luckily, late-night TV had my back. What started as pretty nuns running around naked turned into a descent into debauchery and institutionalized jealousy.

There's something so earnest about the willingness to take the film all the way — to actually show all the intense, uncomfortable parts of an intense, uncomfortable story. It makes me think we've entered an era of cinema that will never produce a film like this one, where we see and feel the lengths of repression women are pushed to, only to be punished when they can't take the burden.

I've been thinking a lot about how people don't seem to be making movies just for the hell of it anymore.

I need to read La Religieuse.
