On your latest post of encanto, you mentioned how Mirabel is almost infantilized by those around her. Can you expand on that thought, please?
Mirabel is infantilised by practically everyone around her, due to the fact that she doesn't have a magical gift and the resultant pity she receives as a result of being the only powerless member.
To elaborate, when it comes to her family, she would already feel isolated enough simply for not having one. But throw in the fact that to have your own room within the Madrigal house, you must inherit a gift to become recognised as an adult or, at the very least, of age? Mirabel doesn't have that luxury. She is permanently stuck within the nursery, thus never being recognised as an adult by her own family and is probably more than often than not treated dismissively by them, particularly her grandmother who she was probably quite close to before being revealed to be powerless, all because she wouldn't "understand" certain things about the magic. And her parents, particularly her mother, more than likely tried to shield her from the reality of her situation which in itself is an extremely patronising thing as it showcases that her parents do not think she is mature enough to truly understand what is going to happen to her in the long run.
The townsfolk unintentionally feed into this by pitying Mirabel.
As we've seen in the trailer, Mirabel gets given a gift bundle by a well meaning man from town who states that the reason he made it for her was simply to "make up for" the fact that she was the only child who didn't receive a gift. That suggests the idea that the people feel they need to give her presents and trinkets to try and distract her from the disappointment of not getting a gift. Which is something that one would most likely think of doing for a child that missed out on something "special". We also see that Mirabel spends a lot of time with the children of the town. This is most likely a result of her being seen as a kid by everyone around her, not mature enough to hang out with other individuals her own age or even be properly involved with the adults in her life.
So all in all, yeah, Mirabel is consistently treated like a child and I can't wait for her to take the reins and develop her own real autonomy as a young adult within the story.
This is just my takeaway from what we've seen so far though, would love to see what you guys had in mind in regards to it!
