the reason your favourite trope is found family with a band of traumatized misfits is so that it can give you the false sense of family that would actually choose you despite everything you and them both went through boom hashtag exposed

i think sing 1&2 are such overlooked movies like. maybe I’m personally biased but it’s so nice to see a film where 1) a character is expected to follow a certain path by their parents in order to be considered a “good child” and ultimately ends up chasing his dreams facing immediate disappointment from the parent (you’re no son of mine), and that same parent realizing their error and changing for the better, 2) a shy/introverted character who struggles to find her voice is able to find the confidence along with the support of people around her to speak up, 3) the overlooked talents of overworked parents who don’t have time to follow a dream and therefore letting it dwindle away but being able to find balance, 4) a character who just got out of a relationship with a cheater and felt like she had to be someone she wasn’t and was able to discover who she really was and show that to the world, 5) a character whose worth to her parent is her success and until that point had everything handed to her on a silver plate, and yet is seen more as a profit point than a child, who left proving she could make it on her own and was worth more than just what she could succeed in, and 6) a character in deep grief for the death of a spouse and gave up his passion because of the heavy depression spiral, and was able to make it out and see forward instead of lingering in the past

there’s something to be said about heated rivalry’s portrayal of multiple queer elite athletes in the same sport because it breaks the expected societal ratio and normalizes the fact that multiple queer people exist everywhere and every place at the same time, and that they could be sitting in the room with you or on the tv screen, because it’s such a real commentary on how many queer people are actually around you and even in the show it only shows the queer people who made it out and leaves you wondering how many of them haven’t made it out and how many people in real life haven’t made it out

(deep breath) I think the reason I didn't like the dog man movies as much is because they compressed the story a little too much and it's not particularly their fault because it's not really possible to fit (at the time of production) a 9 book series into one singular shorter digestible movie targeted towards an audience of kids that generally have a shorter attention span, but I still think this particular book series is not something that should be rushed to find an ending because i think something dav pilkey does really well is to work lessons into characters that are easy to understand for kids by introducing the development slowly in a way that makes sense since ultimately the books are canonically written by two fourth graders and we can see this because the first few books are written with the direct and unrealistic but imaginative ideas and evil vs good storyline and the literal naming of objects and fart and poop jokes that I would expect from a younger child's writing but slowly we are introduced to the fact that their world (like ours) is not actually the black and white world it was initially perceived as (you could argue that the progression of understanding the grey morality of the world comes with time and age, just like how the books evolve with time and age; everything is typically simpler as a child and we are introduced to the notion that not everything is literally good or bad as we grow older),

with the best and most obvious example being petey's backstory being slowly revealed and his choice to try and become better despite his upbringing, with how he chose to be someone better than who his father was for lil petey (healing generational trauma), with how he doubts his ability to be good (that we can see in for whom the ball rolls through the undoubtable similarity between petey and his father, his father who is shown to be unable to change his ways; he's scared)

and then his actions are explained, not justified, and he begins taking responsibility over his actions and slowly changing his ways (and we can see that the change doesn't happen overnight because he still falls towards his old "evil" tendencies, but then we also see lil petey bringing him back, and petey actually listens to him (while petey's father does not listen to petey); thus

the reason the lessons in dog man span over multiple books over multiple timelines is because its a reflection of life and how such heavy things don't change over a course of a few days but over a long length of time and really

everything in those books is nothing but simple, these are actual situations that happen in real life, actual things people are suffering from and healing from and learning from and we get to see that in real time within the span of multiple installations of the series but when a movie compresses something like that it essentially ignores the actual meaning behind the story's reason for the slow progression but idk maybe im just tweaking
