end otw racism
was going to comment with some of this on the #EndOTWRacism call to action itself but i got a bit too annoyed and it became a whole post of its own
end otw racism
on the one hand, this isn’t as terrible as it sounds since a majority of board seats ARE up for election this year
on the other hand, they’ve yet to confirm that there even are four antiracist candidates running and they certainly haven’t said who they are
on the gripping hand, the O·T·W board actually does not have much real power, so this seems at best like it won’t produce much in the way of results, and at worst like a good way to position yourself to take the blame (should your candidates get elected and not be able to deliver) for all the things the organization has been failing at so far
@coriander i'm down for medieval westerns but i would be incredibly surprised if they could pull that off as an animated kids movie
@coriander honestly though like most zelda games are just way too much to fit in a movie
i think your options are either to make it a western, where link the wandering swordsman strolls up to some town facing a problem and does a dungeon to solve it and then rides off into the sunset
or else do literally the plot of the very first game where ganon kidnaps zelda for her triforce, link rescues her nursemaid as she is running to get help, and then something something triforce he takes ganon down
@coriander imagine voice acting link from the legend of zelda
@coriander alternatively they could make a movie out of the Original legend of zelda i'm talking this guy
@coriander a zelda movie COULD be good but only if it doesn't have link

re: zelda thoughts
@aescling to me the cinematography in memory 7 is really not subtle. rauru is a colonialist fuck speaking from a place of power / advanced war technology and ganondorf understands completely that the only way for his people to have freedom is for him to manage to acquire a secret stone for himself
this isn't untrue in other incarnations of ganondorf re: the triforce but it's usually a lot more subtle than rauru blasting ganondorf's entire army off the side of the mountain with a beam of light
re: zelda thoughts
@aescling it is strongly implied from memories 6 and 7 that the zonai have been subjugating everyone by force thanks to the awesome power of their secret stones
zelda thoughts
also wow they really decided to make Ganondorf sympathetic in this one huh

interesting that Sonia is described as “Hyrulean” not “Hylian”—implying that Hylia worship isn’t a thing yet
