    I’m sorry but I’m still really sad about this.

    Abby’s size is so integral to her character and the backstory of her character. She channels all her trauma into getting strong. And becoming a machine because she wants to one up this- what she believes to be- monster that absolutely annihilated a whole hospital of armed soldiers single handly. And of course along with that, her dad.

    And in a world where women are wildly more vulnerable, she is ensuring she is more powerful. She is strong and can defend herself and others.

    It was also the fact she was such a fresh faced look on a woman in a video game. She wasn’t this skinny little badass ducking and diving around. She was huge. She was a damn machine and she didn’t appeal to the male gaze even remotely. And now they’ve just like totally washed all of that away. I know it’d be near impossible to get someone in reality her size, but to purposefully not get someone even slightly bulked up? It’s just sad.

    This is no hate towards Kaitlyn at all. I’m sure she is going to do an amazing job, and this is a pissed post at Neil. And not Kaitlyn.

    I’m just very sad to see one of my fav characters be reduced down to a practical shadow of what she is in the source material

    The way that the alien in Nope's final form looks like an old studio camera. The way the opening credits take place inside its stomach, shown as an endless darkness framed by billowing sheets - the blanket-like hood of an old camera that the photographer hides under. The way Jupe calls the alien The Viewer. The way Jupe makes stuffed animals of what he imagines the aliens inside the "ship" to look like subconsciously reference the camera magazines on the set of Gordy's Home with the body of a monkey. The way that Jupe was only saved because the table cloth kept him from looking Gordy in the eyes. The way that OJ and Em signal "I see you" before the final showdown. The violence of attention. The all-seeing eye. The panopticon. The camera obscura. The dark chamber. The spectacle.
