Nothing normalizes the new quite like seeing it on screen. A culture can change its mind about something almost subconsciously after they just see it in a movie or on TV a few times in something that doesn’t really call attention to it. A Conversation with Paul Feig and Kate McKinnon at Athena Film Festival
I keep trying to explain to people that this movie is SO important to me for this reason, among other similar ones. I HAVE LITERALLY NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS? A big summer blockbuster with women! Who were scientists! Without being sexualized! A woman gets to have the big, slow-mo, theme-song-backed fight montage! A queer woman not sexualized through the male gaze! I. Just.
It’s so important to me.
