why would you ever make sonic a story about The (cishet) Family when you have found family shit RIGHT THERE TO USE INSTEAD
it honestly really surprises me how thematically sus sonic 2 was. i guess i really should not expect better than this even from media in 2022
- tf is up with knuckles it’s highkey racist
- why is the villain the gay one. why did they literally make him try to destroy everything with gay chaos magic. why did they make him lose to the power of Familial Love. why.
i would be less upset about it just being a mediocre kids movie with low ambitions to just be Safe Family Friendly Entertainment if it also weren’t also kinda shitty like this
@aescling i don't think it's possible to make a movie about upholding the nuclear family without making a movie about eliminating threats to the nuclear family
@aescling compare The Mitchells vs. the Machines, which is primarily about dismantling the nuclear family myth to build something better in its place
@aescling like just watch it and i guarantee you will forget all about sonic the hedgehog 2
@aescling if you haven't seen it, it's on netflix and will make you feel so much better about the state of family-friendly movies in 2022
