I’m not a huge Shyamalan defender (he’s got some real stinkers) but The Village is to me the poster child for audiences getting hung up on plot over emotion or extremely obvious thematic subtext. I didn’t see this until two decades after it came out because of its reputation, but it really moved me

"i hate a popular thing" is mostly boring sooooo instead tell me the piece of media you love despite everyone else hating it me? i have many, but the two that spring to mind are Milla Jovovich film Ultraviolet which i own twice accidentally, PS3 game NeverDead, and Super Mario Bros. (film, 1993)

remember how Riley Gaines’ swimming coach raped a bunch of her teammates? then when her career path became TV Nazi she defended him and he claimed he was being targeted for standing up against trans women in sports? anyway she cares deeply about women and girls being safe.
