So much of the complexity and simplicity of Usagi and Minako’s relationship is distilled here in just this one lil flashback from the R Movie, and I love it so much.
One of many things I love about Minako & Usagi’s relationship is that Minako sacrifices so much, all the time, in order to be a sailor soldier, and Usagi is the only one who ever kind of acknowledges that
(I think this is tied with Usagi and Minako being the only inners to mount their pre-Sailor lives). Minakos deepest dream is to be an idol, and besides her friends it’s the most important thing in the world to her. And it’s over the moment a talking cat finds her and tells her she’s a reincarnated soldier, all at the age of 13. So she compromises, she becomes Sailor V, the famous lone soldier who mysteriously fights monsters and everyone is talking about. And then that comes to an end too. Minako doesn’t get to be Sailor V anymore, she has to join a team of sailors as Sailor Venus. No longer is she famous, and no longer is she the most special sailor: that’s Sailor Moon. This drives Minako crazy, and I love that we see it as early as that season 2 ep where she gets sooo pissed at the little kids who are huge Sailor Moom fans but have no idea who Sailor Venus is 😭
Usagi saying my idol is here does two things simultaneously: it validates Minako’s sacrifice to join the team, and it validates her dream to become an idol. Usagi can’t even know how much this means to Minako. Usagi is, for all intents and purposes, the biggest idol in Minako’s life. Usagi is princess and queen and superhero all rolled into one, the most special sailor out of all of them that Minako is sworn to protect, that the world loves, and that all of their enemies target. She is the most important person to Minako, and to all of the other important people in Minako’s life (the other sailors). And that person, the supreme plot-anointed hero among heroes, the very reason for Minakos sacrifice, is turning to her and going “you are the coolest fucking person here!!!” I love how genuine Usagi is, she can’t contain her glee. It’s Sailor Fucking V!!!! Minako is hearing this from the princess, the most “special” person, but also Usagi is Minako’s best friend. They have an incredibly strong relationship stripped away from all the sailor stuff. And her best friend is saying to her, of course you can be an idol, you already are mine!!! It’s that simple. I love how much this means to Minako, and in so many different ways.
Lastly I love her response. She doesn’t break down in tears, or turn and tell Usagi how much this means to her. No, Minako is ever the opportunist, she has a fan, and so she poses. Ta-Da! And yet she can’t completely hide how touched she is- we can see her blushing. It’s so quintessentially Minako, she hides a mountain of feelings in a flippant gesture and a puffing of her chest, but also it’s a reaffirmation that you know what? Yeah she still is an idol.

Y'know, there's this gripe I've had for years that really frustrates me, and it has to do with Love, Simon and people joking about it and calling it too-pg and designed-for-straight-people and all the like. (A similar thing has happened to Heartstopper, but that's another conversation.)
I saw Love, Simon in theaters when it came out my senior year in high school. I saw it three times, once with my friends/parents on opening night, once with my brother over spring break, and once with my grandparents.
On opening night, the air in the room was electric. It was palpable. Half the heads in there were dyed various colors. Queer kids were holding hands. We were all crying and laughing and cheering as a group. My friends grabbed my hands at the part where Simon was outed and didn't let go until his parents were saying that they accepted him. My friend came out to me as non-binary. Another person in our group admitted that she had feelings for girls. It was incredible. I left shaking. This was the first mainstream queer romance movie that had ever been produced by one of the main five studios, and I know that sounds like another "first queer character from Disney" bit but you have to understand that even in 2018 this was groundbreaking. Getting to have a sweet queer rom-com where the main character was told that he got "to breathe now" after coming out meant so much to me and my friends.
But also, from a designed-for-straight-people POV (which, to be frank, it was written by a bisexual author and directed by a gay man, this was not designed for straight audiences), why is it a bad thing that it appealed to the widest possible audience? That it could make my parents and grandparents see things in a new light? My stepdad wasn't at all interested in rom-coms but he saw it with me because it was something I cared about and he hugged me when we came out of the theater. My very Catholic grandparents watched it with me and though my grandpa said he still didn't quite understand the whole 'gay thing,' all he wanted was for me to be happy and to have a happy ending like Simon did. My Nana actually cried when Simon came out and squeeze my hand when his mother told him he could breathe.
And when Martin blackmailed Simon, my mom, badass ally that she is, literally hissed "Dropkick him. Dropkick him in the balls" leading to multiple queer kids in the audience to laugh or smile. Having my parents there- the only parents, by the way, out of my group of queer and questioning friends- made multiple people realize that supportive adults were out there. That parents like those in Love, Simon do exist in real life.
When people complain about Heartstopper not being realistic or Love, Simon being too cutesy, I remember seeing Love, Simon on opening night. I remember my friend coming out and my stepdad hugging me and my mom defending us through this character. I remember the cheers that went through the audience when Bram and Simon kissed and the chatter in the foyer after the movie was over and the way that this movie made me understand that happy endings do exist.
Queer kids need happy endings. Straight people need entry points to becoming allies. Both of these things can come together in beautiful ways. They can find out about more queer culture later, but for now, let them have this. Let them all have a glimpse at a better, happier world. Let them have queer joy.

The scene in the Barbie trailer when Barbie is skating around with Ken and asks "Why is everyone staring at me?"
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE AN ADOLESCENT GIRL.
Living in Barbieland (childhood girlhood) but then suddenly you're all grown up in the real world subject to scrutiny and sexualisation (the guy slapping Barbie's ass) and feeling like existing is a crime?
Being forced by adult men into a box (which leads to the not like other girls syndrome) and exploring the 'real world' (being forced to grow up too quickly) while fighting the realisation that maybe the world sucks and being a woman is so difficult while hoping with all your heart that it's not always going to be this way.
Losing touch with the very things that made you happy because they're considered immature and girly? (The group of teens that said they hadn't played with Barbies since they were five.)
Older women telling you that you have to learn the truth about the world and that you can never have your old life back (Kate Mckinnon's Barbie) despite it being the only thing you yearn for, but also older women being a bright spot and support (the old woman on the bench) in the endless slough of life.
And this is just the trailer!!! I'm so excited for this movie I can't breathe, Greta Gerwig the woman that you are 😭

I feel the need to periodically remind people that Idiocracy is a eugenics movie.
One of the things that eugenicists believe is that it is bad for society when the “wrong people” breed.
The entire premise of the movie is that “stupid people” kept having kids while “smart people” didn’t have kids, and it ruined society because stupid genes propagated while smart genes died out. This is eugenics propaganda.
I know people will read this and their response will be “actually it’s satire” but the movie isn’t satirizing eugenics. It’s satirizing anti-intellectualism, and consumerism, and it proposes eugenics as a solution.
When eugenics was first conceived, it was used as a way to justify inequality. The idea was that people who held privilege were able to do so because they were smarter and genetically superior to lazy and stupid people who don’t have privilege. Obviously this is bad and wrong, but it is also the core lesson of Idiocracy.
The movie literally ends with the main character becoming president and having “the smartest children in the world.” Because he and his wife have smarter genes than everyone else. The proposed solution for the things that Idiocracy is satirizing is for the smart people to have children that can be in charge of the world.
I know it’s fun to use this movie to dunk on anti-intellectualism and the MAGA movement, but we need to stop. When you quote and reference this movie you are spreading eugenics propaganda.
