I think I could have easily included Utena and Madoka here, had I done this a few months later
I have to speak my truth.
#is that a spoiler(??#it’s a really vague one at that because I’m purely speaking in vibes here#like I’ve been intensely thinking these days about how we don’t get to see Anthy after she leaves. or we don’t get to see Anthy and Utena#together after they’re free from Ohtori the fairytale roles they played#the cycle of abuse and trauma#in the movie I mean#like escaping that also means escaping the story and the audience’s gaze#I think that’s really interesting#and it had me drawing parallels to Dirk in the epilogues and how he dons the role of the villain in order for there to be a story to tell#and that whole idea that the audience’s attention causes the characters suffering because without it there is no story#idk this has been swirling in my head because I’ve been getting back into Utena thanks to Eli and co#and about Madoka#I was just thinking about how Anthy and Homura’s roles are kind of similar how they go through repeated cycles of time and they’re either#the only one or among the only ones who remember#and I’m pretty sure Madoka is heavily influenced by RGU what with the surreal imagery and the subverted expectations that come from#genre conventions and all that. also lesbians.#here I did go into spoiler territory I guess
