lostboys-of-anaheim:helioscentrifuge:intersectionalfeminism:sailinginthetea:there-was-a-girl:manhatingmermaid:Audrey says “fuck your gender roles”This movie is super underrated.Audrey is so underrated. How can you not love her?I have a love-hate relationship with this movie. On one hand it’s got awesome PoC characters who defy racial and gender stereotypes. It also discusses colonialism and how people tend to destroy indigenous cultures to obtain land and resources (which is why the crew ultimately decided a to pretend they never found Atlantis because they don’t want anyone else to try and destroy the culture). But on the other hand, the whole plot is that Atlantis needs a white, cishet man to save it from extinction and for some reason he understand their culture and language better than they do.hEY SCREW YOU OKAYMILO WAS THE ANTITHESIS OF WHITE SAVIORHE WAS A NERDY USELESS LITTLE SHIT WHO WAS COWARDLY UNTIL OTHERS FORCED HIM TO ACTHIS ONLY STRENGTHS WERE HIS MIND AND HIS ETHICSHE WAS THE PERFECT DUDE FOR THE JOB AND THE REASON HE KNEW BETTER WAS BECAUSE HE RIGOROUSLY STUDIED TEXTS THAT HAD BEEN LOST OR DESTROYED IN ATLANTIS BECAUSE KIDA’S FATHER INTENTIONALLY LET HIS KINGDOM LAPSE INTO DECAY AND OBSCURITYDO NOT PULL THAT WHITE SAVIOUR BULLSHIT BECAUSE MILO WAS A DAMN GOOD DUDEPlus he was the only fucking person in the world who was able to teach the Atlanteans how to read their own language -- source link
