The Matilda Effect in Mr. Peabody & Sherman

I recently watched the movie Mr. Peabody and Sherman for the first time. I love movies that kick off at lightning speed and maintain a swift pace. You blink and you miss something. "What the hell happened?” - My reaction when I was watching the movie 'The Ambulance' and bent down to pick up a pen. With Mr. Peabody and Sherman something that made me go "wait a second… what was that?" was not because I was picking up something I dropped but because I payed too much attention.

In a scene where Penny, Sherman and Mr. Peabody need to launch their time machine to get back home, they take the help of Leonardo Da Vinci. After succeeding in making Monalisa smile, Mr. Peabody and Da Vinci are seen building a machine to help generate enough centrifugal force to send the time travellers back home. After Sherman tries to help them and cause more mishaps, Da Vinci sends him off to explore with Penny. Penny and Sherman end up in Da Vinci's workshop where they find his Flying Machine Prototype. As Sherman explains it's working, Penny tricks him into telling her how to fly it. "You just pull that lever" exclaims Sherman and she does. She charges forward in the flying machine with Sherman, excited and completely enjoying the ride. Penny asks Sherman to take control of the lever. Sherman, flabbergasted and scared to death refuses to do so. Penny let goes the lever to force Sherman into taking control and flying the plane. Sherman while still scared to death grabs onto the lever after hearing Penny say "You can do it! I know you can!".

Little Sherman flies Da Vinci’s Flying machine over 1508's Florence, Italy, whooshing and swooping over the ponds and swiftly passing through lanes between the buildings and thoroughly enjoying it until Mr. Peabody yells out "Sherman, you don't know how to fly”. Sherman and Penny along with the Flying machine crash into a tree leaving Da Vinci's machine in smithereens.

Da Vinci runs towards Sherman, excited and dancing and says "Sherman you are the first flying man" while penny stands in the back, smiling. It took time for me to gather myself and rewind back a few seconds as I thought I must’ve misheard Mr. Da Vinci. Alas! I did not.

Penny pulls the lever of Leonardo da Vinci’s Flying Machine charging her and Sherman into air

Meanwhile Da Vinci:

Penny was the one who flew Da Vinci’s Flying Machine first. Sherman gets the credit. Does Sherman correct Da Vinci? No. “Mr. Da Vinci it was actually Penny who flew the machine first, she was the one who encouraged me to fly it even though I was sure I would not be able to”. As much as I wanted to hear these words (and I waited till the end of the movie, hoping) I didn’t. This one tiny little scene reminded me of The Matilda Effect.

According to Wiki, “The Matilda effect is a bias against acknowledging the achievements of women scientists whose work is attributed to their male colleagues”.

In other words - Throughout history there have been instances of men stealing women’s work and credit shamelessly. This phenomenon of not acknowledging women’s achievements, erasing it and putting a man’s name to it is called The Matilda Effect.

Now, Penny was not a scientist nor was Sherman. To be very honest, I don’t even like Penny in the movie. She’s mean, she bullies Sherman, and the whole Penny-Sherman dynamic follows this cliche “If they tease you, they like you/ falls for the bully” trope. So even though I wasn’t a big fan of her this one scene made me feel bad for her. But mostly I felt bad for all those women- scientists, artists, programmers and not just women in STEM but women everywhere whose names were erased, written over and replaced.

Did the writers do this on purpose? Was this scene a subtle nod to the Matilda effect? I did not find anything on the internet regarding this. Intentional or not, this scene subtly highlights how in history and even today women’s accomplishments are often erased or minimized.

okay okay okay, but we need to talk about the name etymologies of the four central characters of haikyuu!! because it is literally impossible to talk about it too much. first let's break down all the kanji in their family names!

(sidenote: all of the translations were pulled from wikitionary, so if any of the meanings are actually egregiously incorrect, pls lmk!!)

影　kage - shadow 山　yama - mountain 口　guchi - mouth 月　tsuki - moon 島 shima - island 日　hi - sun 向　nata - direction

adding a readmore because this got so much longer than i intended it to be

so some of these are talked more about in the fandom than others. i think it's practically common knowledge (if it isn't, well now you know) that the first kanji of hinata's name (日) means "sun" and the first kanji of tsukki's name (月) means "moon," and that this was done on purpose to highlight their roles in the story as foils and as a sun and moon analogy. tsukki and hinata are quite literally polar opposites in their approach to volleyball (they are, one might say, like night and day). tsukishima with his physical advantage yet reluctance to try too hard compared with hinata's overwhelming physical disadvantage and his willingness to go above and beyond, to the point that he can't even fathom how not to give 110% at all times. (there's so much more to say about this symbolism but i'll leave it there, gotta stay focused rip).

the first kanji in kageyama's name (影) meaning "shadow" i feel like most people are aware of as well, this symbolises his general mood (sorta a comparison with tsukishima too imo, darkness and the moon etc., but that's quite subtle), and again this furthers his parallel with hinata, juxtaposing light and darkness, but the kanji for yama (山) which we find in both kageyama and yamaguchi's name, means mountain, which represents both reliability and strength. this works for both kageyama and yamaguchi in different ways. from day one at karasuno, all of the team members can count on kageyama to perform, be it setting, serving, receiving, he is all around the uncontested best player on the team, and serves as the base for nearly all of their strategies. yamaguchi doesn't have the same dependability in terms of athletic performance (at the start of the series), but in a lot of ways he is a grounding force in among the first years, and in his relationship with tsukki he is very much a needed support, tsukishima depends on yamaguchi for... god for so much actually.

and then there's the second kanji in tsukishima's name (島)... meaning "island," it is very clearly meant to represent the isolation tsukki both feels and imposes on himself at the start of the series. i also think it's of note that an island is opposed to a mountain - both are large(-ish) landmasses but the mountain is connected to the rest of the land while an island is all alone...

the individual kanji all have a lot of symbolism going on but when you put some of them together, i think you get a new significance...

日向　hinata - the direction sun in shining 影山　kageyama - the dark side of the mountain 山口　yamaguchi - the mountain’s opening (or mouth maybe cave?) 月島　tsukishima - moon island

to get them out of the way, the compound meanings of tsukishima and yamaguchi don't seem very narratively significant, but i am more than open to analyses you might have that i didn't think of! :)

however hinata and kageyama seem poetic to me in a way that i don't think is accidental. i did take some liberties with the phrasing (kageyama could also be written as "the mountain's shadow"), but it doesn't change the overwhelming symbolism. the dark side of the mountain is obviously juxtaposed with the light side, but how do you create a shadow? well the sun has to shine on something... the direction of hinata's sun shining on the kageyama's mountain making the shadow... i admit i might be reaching with this one. but i like it.

initially, i had only planned to look into their family names, but after finding so much symbolism, i though why not look into their given names and boy oh boy am i glad that i did~

飛　tobi - flight, fast, high 雄　o - something large powerful and masculine (yang) 翔　sho - soar 陽　yo - alt. the sun, positive, (yang!!!!) 蛍　kei - derived from firefly 忠　tadashi - loyal, devoted, faithful

where do i even begin i legit have tears in my eyes okay, first things first, kei has always been my favourite name in all of haikyuu, i just like how it sounds, i think it's so pretty, and in looking up the meaning of the kanji i've grown to love it even more. as a masculine name, 蛍 is pretty rare, it's more commonly used for female names and the most common reading isn't kei it's hotaru. i like that tsukishima has a relatively unique first name, but what really gets me is the etymology. the kanji 蛍 is the same kanji for firefly, and when the kei pronunciation is used, it means fluorescent. i absolutely love this for tsukishima, because we are being given two different messages with his family name and his given name. on the one hand, his family name would have us believe that tsukki is like the moon, only able to be seen at night and only capable of reflecting the lights of others, but his given name tells us that, while it might be a soft glow, tsukki does have a light of his own, he is in fact able to shine by himself.

compared to 蛍, 忠 is a much more common given name, meaning loyal or devoted. i think sometimes people misunderstand the dynamics between tsukishima and yamaguchi, so please don't take this as me saying something i'm not, but tadashi really is loyal to kei in a very special way, and this is clearly something that furudate wanted to highlight, as this is not the only time he's made reference or used symbolism for tadashi's loyalty to kei. i do think that this devotion extends past tsukki too, and tadashi's loyalty is another part of what makes him such an important part of karasuno (and eventual team captain).

now. for the big ones. i really hope people are still reading because i saved the best for last just because i know i'll collapse into a puddle of tears once i finish typing this section out

if you look at tobio and shouyou's names individually, they do fit them very well; 飛 (tobi) being the kanji for flight ties kags to the sport of volleyball, and the alt meaning of height i think references how high he is going to aim for and eventually reach, and 雄 (o) symbolising something powerful and masculine i think does fit kags' vibe. likewise, 翔 (sho) forshadows hinata's jumping abilities and his bird-like nature, and 陽 (yo), a kanji that has sooo many potential meanings, among which are sun and positivity, further underscores hinata's sun symbolism and his optimistic outlook. astute readers might have already noticed, the first kanji of tobio's name (飛) and the first kanji of shouyou's name (翔) have very similar meanings, one might even go as far to say that they are synonyms. both kags and hinata learn to fly at karasuno together, and they both aspire to the same upwards trajectory, literally in the game for hinata, and figuratively in their careers as pro volleyball players, and this similarity is underscored by the similarity in the meanings of the first kanji of their given name. but the kicker, the last kanji of their given names, 雄 (o) and 陽 (yo) not only sound similar, but they both are kanji that can be used to write yang as is yang, the opposite of yin! shouyou and tobio's names are literally synonyms of one another!! for all the differences apparent in their family names, their given names are literally the same name just a different font and i absolutely love it so much, because we spend so much time talking about how different hinata and kageyama are but part of the reason that they click and clash the way that they do is that they are so similar to one another in ways that they aren't like anyone else, it's what makes their rivalry and their partnership as strong as they are and it's so so so important to remember that these boys are always on the same wavelength!! clearly we're meant to think like this, since furudate chose these as their names...

one last little note, it might be hard to tell if (like me) you aren't used to reading caligraphy, but the same kanji in tobio's name is the kanji on karasuno's banner: 飛

so just in case there was any doubt as to where tobio belongs. his name is literally on karasuno's banner i can't i can't i can't

Thinking about the Jailer a while back and finally sat down to do the research that would let me articulate what exactly is going on with her design:

My brain initially glazed over the pattern at the edge of her cowl (and also on the lower edges of her coat, as we see in the other art) as standard gear or crenelation pattern that had parts frayed or worn down. In my defense, I think I was primarily thrown by the inclusion of the visible stitches on the cowl, which add a "worn out" appearance.

Interestingly, while I had thought there were more instances of crenelation motifs present in Harrow, Callum, and Ezran's designs, it actually only appears in the trim on Sarai's skirt:

Anyway, after looking more closely at the Jailer over time, I realized that... that's not accurate. The TDP artists aren't that lazy—those designs are geometric and uneven for a reason. Here's the reason:

It's a motif of (and here's where I had to do research) the bit of a warded key.

I found a really great post about faux-medieval locks and lockpicking vs. actual medieval locks and lockpicking (i.e. what's in ever Elder Scrolls game ever), but a quick summary: a ward or warded lock is a lock that is designed to allow only a specifically-patterned key to turn in the lock to open it. This is similar but subtly different from lever locks, which are still used in modern applications: lever locks use the pattern cut into the bit of the key to shift a series of levers into place that otherwise prevent the bolt from moving, similar to how pin tumbler locks raise a series of pins into alignment. Warded locks, on the other hand, don't actually have anything that prevents the bolt itself from being moved, but instead have a pattern of physical barriers inside the lock that prevent the key itself from being turned unless the pattern on the bit matches up with them. So you sometimes got stuff like this:

Anyway, most of the antique keys you see are probably for lever locks, since those were invented in 1778, are significantly more secure, and generally look a lot simpler in their bit shape.

The problem with the warded lock as a concept is that if you can get to the part that moves the bolt, there's nothing at all to stop you from moving it. Enter the skeleton key—which, contrary to popular belief, is not just any old-looking key. A skeleton key is capable of opening more than one lock, usually a warded lock, by essentially bypassing the wards. For example, the skeleton key on the right here would be able to open the warded locks for both keys on the left:

Something like this seems to be a pretty common skeleton key set for some kinds of modern padlocks:
