In other news, I also was digging through old, unfinished videos and decided to recreate one with clearer footage from Disney+, and finish it. This one was just a short montage of everyone not being very nice to each other. ffff
I think the inspiration to finish this one came from the fact that I watched the episode Odd Woman Out recently and was so tickled by, well, all of its choices, and how different it is. I love the message that "girls can do anything" and "girls should not be treated differently or excluded", but this show is already super pro-girl, has a super feminine energy and perspective in my opinion, AND everyone is ruled by a Queen, who is a beautiful black woman. lol Alice is always included, and her interest in all kinds of things is never discouraged or challenged. So basically, they had to write the characters out-of-character in order to make it work.
It felt like the show understood what it was denouncing, though: it had the Queen singing a song that was kind of like "you know, the whole world has been one giant guys club, but fuck that", and all the while she was flapping around her sparkling gown and knocking Hatter and Hare over.
Right on, Queenie!
