They were playing the movies back to back on TV and I couldn't help but check it out for old times' sake.

These are one of the few instances where you legitimately just had to be there. You would not get any of it now. They keep trying to do Spy Kids years later and like, it's over. The era is done and the people that would have been into it have already grown up and only needed the first 3 films (and the clips of Carmen and Juni in the 4th one from YouTube). You had to really experience it to still be able to find all the fondness in the cheese. The fondue if you will. Like the way the 3rd one just turns into Spy Kids: Endgame is insane. Shit, time frame wise you could say Endgame pulled a Game Over.

Is it just me or is it so crazy that spy kids 2, a 2002 movie, presents the male lead ballet dancing without any jokes about it, and instead actively subverts the idea that a male character should be bothered by it? In fact he is even presented as cool, suave, and romantic for doing it.

I wasn’t around for 2002, I just feel like this is something that they would not normally do. I was born in 2003, and in my childhood I very much did not think of ballet as a thing I could just do as a boy, even with my mom saying it’s okay.
