Everyone else acting proud to not know the Kpop Demon Hunters character and then there’s me proud that the comic strip child character supports best girl.
Like I get it if you like Zoey, she’s basically an autistic icon, and I hope the next movie gives us more of her, because so many of us saw ourselves in her, but the first movie wasn’t really about her. She was just there.
I had no idea what this was about. Not proud of it, nor ashamed.
I’ve seen some clips of the movie and it really isn’t for me. I really don’t like singing in movies, breaks the immersion for me. I don’t mind music itself, just the characters singing. I don’t know why it has the effect it has.
Eh, who knows. Not everything’s for everybody. Normally I’d agree with you, but I got really into this one.
Last year we took our 8-year-old niece to see the movie in theatres. It’s the sing-along version, and we instructed her to stand on her seat and sing each song. We stood up and sang, too. It was fun. Might not ever do it again and that’s fine.
I’m not ashamed to admit I haven’t heard of the poet. But, poetry isn’t my thing, hence the inability to be ashamed of not knowing it. I do listen to some K-Pop and I have a niece who watches the movie religiously.
…How the hell did I miss that Zoey is coded autistic? I just had her pegged as “the creative one”, never mind the 700 2-second videos of turtles, or her very specific insecurities!
That actually makes me wonder if one or a few of the script writers have some autistic tendencies. I read something similar happened with the author of The Murderbot Diaries.
But yeah, given how Zoey seems to have more tells, I suspect she got that treatment more intentionally

I guess I’d heard of them both, and certainly KPop Demon Hunters more recently (my fav: “This is What it Sounds Like”).
But, if someone asked me who “Rumy” was, I couldn’t answer. But, the final panel gave me enough context to remember that Rumi and not the other one.
My favourite song from the movie as well.

I think you could interpret some of her characteristics as hyperfocusing on very specific interests.
Oh, for sure. For some reason, I keep thinking that’s just a common thing for some people to do :D
Someone once said that they all have autistic tendencies, but Zoey’s character/writing really leans into it.
There’s also how every time they all say something, she’s the one who says something different.
