‼️‼️SPOILERS FOR LISA FRANKENSTEIN AND POOR THINGS‼️‼️
It is so hilarious that Lisa Frankenstein and poor things came out at the same time bc on one hand we have
- movie thats really focused on advertising itself as feminist
- uses the moms body as basically an incubator and completely robs her of her singular act of agency right after roe v wade got overturned
- proceeds to sexualize said mothers body while also sexualizing her child’s immaturity plus gratuitous sex scenes showing how she’s “exploited”
- absolutely refuses to show the “female version of Frankenstein” with any scars or body hair she would absolutely be imperfect and wounded like it’s giving let me go shave my hairless legs
- written and directed by a man
- kinda weird and neurodivergent/mentally ill coded and is mean to the characters about it
And that’s the one winnning all the laurels while the movie with
- a female writer and director
- 1 sex scene which is very consensual and shows literally nothing
- multiple female characters all of which display agency and have wildly different personalities
- the characters are allowed to have trauma and be fucked up but also the first person killed is a lady calling the main character insane (bad) and threatening to lock her up because she doesn’t like her
- accurately shows SA without being gratuitous
- male lead doesn’t have any lines except reading poetry to the girl at the end, other than that there’s like three guys who talk
- the male lead lacks a voice and very specific anatomy but it’s still emphasized how he’s still very much a man
- kills the guys who commits SA
- her sister stealing her crush doesn’t ruin their relationship, she’s still emphatic to her
- SO MUCH set design detail and it looks SO PRETTY
And THATS the one flying under the radar?!? My guy Lisa Frankenstein is what poor things wishes it was
