Nobody seems to be talking about Spin(2021) but

I wanted to at least post something about it and I just watched it. Its the first disney channel original movie (outside of India perhaps bc I do know we have tv shows and perhaps also movies set in India on disney channel here) with an Indian American protag, and I feel like that should be significant? Its probably one of the hollywood(?since this movie was made in the states) movies with better south asian rep, especially when most hollywood movies tend to just have side characters(Pacific Rim: Uprising, Phineas and Ferb, etc. Need I go on) or even the villain be south asian(Venom) and thats not even touching on the orientalism and racist portrayals.

The director is Indian herself and in the production of the movie they took steps to make the portrayal authentic. I don't know about plot? I don't care too much about that and I don't know why people would expect some kind of complex plot from a disney channel movie if thats a criticism they have. As an Indian who used to live in the states, I did not see myself represented in most media there. And it was nice to see a movie that had a protagonist from my country (even if not the same region Im from or same mother tongue).

Okay, after a bit, I've realized what exactly is off with Zhen to me. It's not the voice (although Awkwafina's voice is... very grating to put it as politely blunt as possible,) no, it's the overall design. I'm not here to be all nitpicky and annoying, but genuinely, her design feels out of place in this universe. Kung Fu Panda's designs are so heavily shape-focused, their shapes and sizes are so unique and special to them! So when you bring someone like Zhen, who looks ripped straight from Zootopia, it just feels... lame. And It's not like this applies to ANY of the new characters we see either!!! Look at the Chameleon vs. Zhen!

The Chameleon has this unique shape to her, she's so skinny, her shape intentionally reduces her fear factor, she's small and puny, so thus she would also be weak, no? But you're WRONG, she's a more powerful threat than you could imagine! Meanwhile with Zhen I can't even tell if she's a fox or a wolf, like I had to go to the wiki just to find out she's even a fox!

All her design tells me about her is she's some bandit or something... again, Kung Fu Panda is KNOWN for its unique shapes and sizes, it's stylization is something to gawk and marvel at, with just how GOOD they are... and Zhen just doesn't deliver... which really sucks, especially if the theory of her being the new "Dragon Warrior" is true...

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW GREAT AND HEARTWARMING THIS SCENE WAS??

I was like... WOW!! After Bowser shoot the fire at Mario and then he came out unharmed, I knew it had to be Luigi the one protecting him, but I thought he would've learned about the Power-Ups and used one to stop the fire, but no. It was him alone, a regular human using a manhole cover as a shield to protect Mario from the flames.

Let's remember that before that, he was hidding in a dumpster because he was afraid. It wasn't until he saw Mario coming back to face Bowser, even though he was injured and with no Power-Ups to help him fight, that he knew he had to do something. He has been protected by Mario his whole life, so it was his turn to protect him. He didn't think it twice, he didn't hesitate. All he knew was that his brother was in danger.

You can even see him struggling to keep his stand because of the flames' force, but he never let go. Little Luigi put all of his strenght on keeping the cover to shield his big bro. He even told him the same words Mario had told him before to comfort him after entering the Warp Pipe: "Nothing can hurt us as long as we're together."

And then, this happened:

The cover was starting to melt, it was red hot already. You can see that he's scared and worried about the cover melting, but he still kept his stand and didn't let go, even though he was going to get burned first. He was willing to die here just to save Mario! Luigi a coward? BULLSHIT! HE'S THE BRAVEST OF THEM ALL!

This movie made me love him even more 💚
