CreedIII was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! A knockout directorial debut by @michaelb4jordan, a moving story of, brotherhood, legacy, vulnerability, trauma, and grief. All the shit we deal with but can't, won't, and don't want to talk about and how ignoring that has lasting effects.

I’ll be honest and say I don’t care for the Actor/Director combo. I feel like something always sucks because of it either the acting isn’t great or the storyline of the visuals in a plant aren’t great. It takes a really strong actor and talented Director to pull that off and I wasn’t sure if Michael B Jordan was going to be able to deliver But baby let me tell you I was absolutely wrong! I honestly think this is the BEST acting we've seen from Michael B Jordan! Whatever he did to prepare for this role and this movie, he should continue to do it and copy and paste for all of his films because this was just he knocked it out of the park. Creed III makes me want to see more from him as a director! I think we’re watching something really great in the making.

HORROR'S NEXT TOP GENDER QUARTERFINALS: Dr. Frank N. Furter (The Rocky Horror Picture Show) vs. Ellen Ripley (Alien)

PROPAGANDA FOR FRANK:

"Obligatory RHPS. This had to be here. My first real adult queer spaces that weren't just me and my gay teen friends was Rocky. It let me be out as trans for the first time publicly. Frank is my idol."

"I feel like it goes without saying."

"They sing a song called “Sweet Transvestite” about how they are a sweet tranvestite from Transexual Transylvania. also she was played by Laverne Cox in rocky horror live!"

PROPAGANDA FOR RIPLEY:

"The character of Ripley was originally meant to be played by a man. also pleaseeee if this competition is a bunch of white guys im going to lose it"

"She is so incredibly butch and cool, she has that butch mechanic thing going on"

"The character was originally going to be a man but Sigourney Weaver killed it at the audition so she was hired and not a single line of dialogue was changed. Also, overall, most of the films leave an implication that gender is not very important to the point of being a practically genderless society. Everyone in these movies is too stressed and too busy working under late, late stage capitalism. My point is that Ellen Ripley is definitely (however unintentionally) agender."
