Since gmmtv decided to release 23.5 on Netflix in certain areas and on YouTube in others the Youtube views have taken a hit because the primary audience only has it on Netflix. So if you are lucky enough to have 23.5 available on YouTube and you like the show try to re-watch the first episode a couple of times. If we could get the first episode to a million views that would be ideal since one of the measures for a thai shows popularity is it's Youtube views. And if you don't have it on YouTube but you don't have Netflix try a vpn before you resort to sites.

#this show is so good already #I desperately need gmmtv to see how popular it is already #we need more gl #I'm convinced that if they had just released it on YouTube everywhere then it would have a million views already #not every fan in Asia and Latin America will have Netflix #I hope Netflix atleast pays them #23.5 the series #23.5 #thai gl #gl shows #wlw shows

no bc it baffles me that ugly Betty doesn’t have the fandom it deserves especially for the first season, it’s so good like has soooo much material. Maybe getting put on streaming can revive it bc it’s golden, the Suarez family are my heart 🥺

#like I watched the Mexican one growing up and it is so dear to me 😭 #and Betty and her family are so well done as a latin family like so many show today get it wrong #her sister selling herbalife kills me like that is Latine lower iceberg levels and this was 2006 #season one is so rich like I’ve heard the other season were during the writers strike but even one alone is worth the fandom #ugly betty #america ferrera

if society of the snow was a tragedy in the usa or europe in general the movie would won best picture without second thoughts. i mean, you literally have movies about their mea culpa about their own crimes against humanity winning. this is not a competition (except that in fact it is) but there's no value when its other countries telling their stories and showing their scars. its about them licking their own wounds.

#society of the snow #oscars #and its the only thing i'll talk about this clown show #latin america

. Also out of curiosity is anyone else scared for how Natlan will turn out or am I the only one who remembers that Hoyo is lowkey kinda colorist

#loser’s liddol rambles #like. Natlan is supposed to be based on Mesoamérica right #and Latin America and West aftica #notice how those are ALL PLACES WITH DARK SKINNED PEOPLE😎 #😭* #sumeru showed that they’re only willing to get to a certain tone #and before that they were lowkey kinda.. #racist #with their TWO ‘dark skinned’ characters #anyway if someone sees this no spoilers or leaks pls I haven’t finished masquerade of the guilty yet #if I see another goddamn spoiler who cares about Natlan I will simply delete my Genshin account🫡

I got introduced to clone high very early on in my life, like i was literally 3-4 years old and my waay older cousins used to watch it in this shitty tv. The point is that my toddler brain couldn't really grasp the whole "clone" aspect of the show, and because at the time it didn't really have any Latin American nor especifically Venezuelan historical figures I could recognize as real people I honest to fucking God thought Abraham Lincoln and JFK were made up. I remember my cousin showing me a picture of the actual JFK in a history book and me bursting into tears cuz i was so afraid

#clone high #i didnt even watch the episodes that much I just liked dancing to the opening #I also remember thinking that Jesús Cristo in the show was literally just a random dude named Jesús #since in latin america its an extremely common name for both men and women

Blue beetle spoilers. And spoilers for Macario (1960)

There’s plenty of articles out there already with this info but these are my thoughts.

Ok I just saw Blue Beetle and I’m in love with Xolo Maridueña!!! His character Jaime Reyes is so enthusiastic and loves his family and ultimately kind. And he has sweet eyes XD. It’s really cool he got the role because of his martial arts skills.

Harvey Guillén is in there! He plays another character with the same last name, de la Cruz, so maybe we can jokingly have crossovers in this universe with What we do in the Shadows. Blade (admittedly Marvel but still) is semi-canon already. (I didn’t catch the entirety of his real name sorry, just definitely the end.)(idk if Guillermo de la Cruz is his full name or if his name was shuffled around/inaccurately represented due to USian naming customs)

I loved George Lopez as Uncle Rudy. He rocks the kookiness!

Nana was hella cool. Between her implied revolutionary backstory (she hates Imperialists! The way she pulls out her braids when it’s time to attack makes me think that she was part of a pro-Mexico or maybe pro-Indigenous force back in the day) and Ignacio’s backstory (his mother, his only family, murdered in a ‘anti-communist’ attack in Guatemala, and then he was sent to ‘Escuela de las Americas’, a USA funded ‘school’ that basically churned out child soldiers and later adult destabilizers sent out to disrupt Latin America in the name of USian interests (its still in operation), and then he was experimented upon by the very people that ruined his life (a la the Tuskegee Airmen Experiment) really speaks to the racism and imperialism that affects the family in the movie and many people face today (preaching to the choir I know). The fight ain’t over.

(First link is in spanish, second link is the English Wikipedia page)

I appreciate that a good half of Jaime’s family were not in the US legally. The constant terror and unwillingness to seek help for fear of attention was quite palpable, and I think really adds to the idea that superheroes are supposed to make sure ALL people live safely and happily - legality should not contradict human rights. And hell, even though they were in the USA, their home was still threatened - by gentrification!

The poor Dad’s death is sadly not an uncommon phenomenon. Many immigrants, but especially undocumented ones, work themselves to the bone, both physically and emotionally. Poverty and instability kill more than any capitalist would ever like to acknowledge. And yet Alberto still found it in his heart to be kind whenever possible. I really respect that. And I think his kindness inspired Rocio (the mom, who is totally cool) and Milagro (sister) to keep on after his death.

The body horror aspects were interesting, for both Jaime and Ignacio Caripax. I hope they lean into that in later works.

But what really caught my eye was the cave of candles that appeared twice in the story. There’s a European story, Godfather Death, about a godchild of the personification of death who gets given the power to heal, and ultimately (in some people’s views) wastes it in greed and/or love. He gets to watch his life, represented as a candle, blow out. However, in Spanish, death is a feminine concept, and so Death is a godmother in that situation. Godmother Death* is thus a common story in Latin America too, but especially in Mexico and Guatemala, where Maya beliefs mixed with Catholic ones.

It turns out, the creators wanted to bring in some Latine magical realism and reference the classic Mexican film, **Macario, which is based on a novel based on a local legend that was likely based on La Madrina Muerte. I’ve ordered the book, lol, and will watch the movie soon. I’m quite excited to see it.

I found it quite interesting that Jaime’s acceptance of Khaji Da and the Macario/Madrina Muerte scene happened really close to each other. In a way, he chose compromise to continue with life, as opposed to Macario’s/the Godson’s stubbornness which lead to their deaths. His willingness to work with Khaji Da (scarabs are symbols of rebirth btw) shows a willingness to work with his place in the life and death cycle, and the Madrina Muerte themes showcase his interest in alleviating suffering***.

In any case, if you have money for a ticket, I highly suggest going to see Blue Beetle! It’s totally worth it.

*La Madrina Muerte, in Spanish. I’ve been somewhat obsessed with it since I was a preteen, as I came across the Spanish version translated to English first. My tumblr name is *somewhat* related lol.

I was somewhat inspired by La Calavera Catrina art, Santa Muerte and the Grim Reaper when I drew this.

**for some reason tumblr has decided that two links is quite enough for this post. Sometimes it just doesn’t let me add more links? Or copy/paste!!? Anyway if you’d like to read a more knowledgeable article about the relationship between the two films, look up ‘macario blue beetle’ & then an article by slashfilm will appear.

***In the legend, the godson is given a plant, a potion, or just the power to heal. But he must abide by Death’s position by the bed of the afflicted person. If death is at the foot of the bed, then they were meant to live, and he gets to take away their suffering and cure them entirely. But if Death stood by the head of the bed, then the person was meant to die soon, and so the Godson had to leave them be. In either case, Death prefers to end suffering - through complete healing or a cessation of life. However, Jaime makes sure (when he can) to help people live and be able to choose what to do with their life (like in the case of Ignacio). And Khaji Da respects that.

#blue beetle #blue beetle (2023) #Macario #Macario (1960) #dc #last thing: I like that thefilm shows collaboration between different Latine peoples in the face of cultural destruction & imperialism #(and intergenerational collaboration!) #Jaime (Mexican American and hasn’t ‘made it’) Harvey Guillen’s character (unspecified and some may say he ‘made it’ some May say he did not) #and Ignacio (Guatemalan and arguably same sitch as HG’s de la Cruz character) #ultimately work to undermine Victoria Kord and the OMAC weapons of destruction #sure Ignacio killed de la Cruz but ultimately he took down Victoria #you could also argue Jenny Kord (Brazilian & made it) #but I know its a somewhat contentious issue for both Brazilians and Spanish speaking peoples of the Americas as #to whether Brazilians are Latine or not

Is almost every millennials first anime Pokémon? 

my lawyer advises me not to answer this

#agswcjstvjefj in seriousness: in my social circle? yes. #the vast majority of people i know in real life had their first definable experience with anime by watching pokemon between the ages of idk #5 and 10 #however I am one person in a small town in the western United states #the world is very large #in Latin America odds are good it'd be DBZ and apparently VAST swathes of toddlers in the US watched Sailor Moon before they could talk #personally I never had a channel showing either of those things so 💀 #asks #anime

Since this post became such a success, I decided to post another video that's hilarious to show to people who doesn't know any context

#soy luna #this show aired on disney channel <3 #not in the us tho but in all of latin america and europe #it's on d+

People love seeing american shows about latin and indigenous people, what about seeing an ACTUAL latin show about a latin indigenous?

"Luz" is a show on Netflix, about a 9 year old brazillian indigenous girl, she have the hearth of a warrior and her life is full of drama and fireflyes!

So many great brazillian shows get into streaming and then cancelled because no one pays attention to them! Please take a look into it because it's SO GREAT

It's so sad and yet so funny that nobody on WhatsApp it's gonna know the immaculate joke that hides my pfp.

I also wanted to use this one but... it's the same.
