Just got really into middle-eastern yaoi. Don’t mind.
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 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’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!
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.
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 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
Why is there a dick sticking out of the top of Rumi’s turban?
It was already like this when he bought it at the dick hat store.
This went right over my head, and I just watched the movie a week ago lol.
I saw it once before (which was before it got popular), and the same was true both times… It was alright. I liked it, but it wasn’t amazing.
Always somewhat random what kids end up clinging to haha.
Ki adimundi
Okay, that’s a good one. 😄
i dunno,maybe its also like the ‘six’s and sevens’ of Eva peron singing dont cry for me argentina.
Who else?
ooh Roomy
Nitpick: You (or the original creator) mean Muslim poets. “Islamic” describes ideas and the like, not people.
Isn’t that the point here? This character is describing the person by mentioning the type of poetry they create. If I call someone a “rock singer”, I am not calling that person a rock; I am describing their art.
What do you call someone who writes Islamic poems then?
An Arab poet. The Arabic language is cooked to the Muslim faith and it is the uniting factor. Usually languages are called after the region, but in this case is the other way around.
I would understand that as someone from the Arab ethic group, the Arabic language and Islamic religion being separate (but overlapping) considerations.
(Rumi is best known for writing in Persian.)
You don’t need to be Arab to write an Islamic poem…
He wrote poetry about Islam. Also he was Persian, not Arab. (In another comment you said to call him an Arab poet)
To be fair, it’s the same thing. No one is born Muslim. Islam is a sect of Yahwism that people are either forced into through child abuse, or join “willingly” to deal with substance abuse.
Internet atheists never cease to impress me.
What’s an atheist?
Someone who believes in the god Yatheh rather than Yahweh…
/Emoji for sarcasm
As an atheist, this made me chuckle
