Can’t believe Shaun the sheep: The Beast of MossyBottom is 2 months away now! I’m so excited I’m gonna explode ✨✨✨✨✨ Now I want a Shaun the Sheep ticket for my birthday next month 🥹
I promoted the hell out of the previous Shaun the Sheep films but now in this current age of AI slop, I think it's now more important than ever for me to promote the upcoming film as we know it's another film that Aardman put all their HUMAN love and hard work into! So yeah go see it please! 🙏
Because we support ACTUAL human made beautifully animated and detailed stop-motion animation thank you very much. Which is something that Aardman has always been very well known for. U_U
I'm going insane again over how MediEvil 2 very nearly had some interesting things to say about misogyny and classism, and completely missed every opportunity it had. And there is no better example of this than poor, misused Kiya, whose entire existence is filtered through the misogynistic male gaze in and out of universe.
In universe, the only information we have about her past is an optional book written in universe by a British Victorian man with all the biases that implies. Out of universe, her character design is informed by exactly two thoughts; "love interest - make her sexy" and "mummy - give her bandages." If you take the misogynistic white men at their word in and out of universe, Kiya is a sexy lamp whose whole purpose is to be fridged and then brought back, whose whole identity is a prize for Our Hero to win.
But MediEvil is all about lies and false histories. Stop and look at what we're shown about Kiya, not what we're told. It was her skills and knowledge that allowed Kift to build the creature in the Dankenstein levels, where the professor's own research had ended in failure years before. We know from this that Kiya must have embalming knowledge, and possibly even some necromancy. She could not have merely been some girl "plucked from abject poverty" as the in-game book puts it, but an embalmer and therefore a priestess of Anubis.
Kiya, who had been killed to follow her husband into the afterlife, went to fight Jack the Ripper on her own. She chose to join the fight even when the men around her wanted her to stay safe and useless. If not for her knowledge of embalming, Palethorn would have won about halfway through the game. She has an inner life and motives of her own which are ignored and overshadowed at every turn.
It's almost a meta-commentary on how women are treated, how she's dismissed by the narrative despite arguably having a clearer motive for her actions than Dan, who is mostly just running around doing what Kift says. But it's not a commentary, it's just misogynistic writing. It's just sexist character design, not a commentary on how society tries to shape women into sexualised abstractions of themselves.
Kiya is everything to me and yet she seems to be almost nothing to the people who created her, and that's so sad.
