Strange World 2022 - Tumblr Posts

Having trouble finding some films to watch, especially now that it's pride month?

Well have no fear, because I have some that is recommended, whether queer or queer-coded, these are movies you should watch.

Despite being forgotten or criticize being "woke", Strange World is a underrated gem that join the list of underrated and forgotten disney films such Lightyear, Treasure Planet and Atlantis.

It has an gay main character and a diverse cast including an 3-legged dog. Inspired by classic sci-fi adventure film in the 50's and 60's, Strange World is fun adventure film about an generation of a family dealing with their own faults, also opening a door of possibilities with it's lore.

Freaky is a fun twist on the classic "Freaky Friday" trope, telling the story of a teenager who swap bodies with a serial killer, thanks to a mystical artifact.

Co-written and directed by the guy who also made Happy Death Day, Freaky delivers some gore-filled kills and feel good laughs while offering some parts of queer identity along with a gay character who proud of who he is.

The Fear Street trilogy itself not only joined the list of amazing horror films in 2021 but also an spot of queer horror.

It follows an romance of two lesbian teens in the 90's not only dealing with homophobia but also a ancient connected curse of the town of Shadyside.

Chalked with nostalgia of classic horror films like Scream, Friday the 13th and The Crucible.

Fear Street wins fans over with it's violent kills, remarkable characters, talented performances, and great and relatable queer representation.

Jennifer's Body introduced an another horror icon and bisexuality.

Megan Fox plays Jennifer Check who was possessed by a demon and targets on guys after being sacrificed by an fame-hungry band.

Tho Jennifer is not a lesbian, but the films does show that she is interested in both boys and girls, claiming she goes both ways and has some interest in her friend Needy, even kissing her too.

The cult classic not only has an amazing bisexual icon but tackles heavy themes such as assault, exploitation and the female gaze.

Bottoms is a must watch masterpiece, chaotic, brutal and gut-bursting funny, the film follows two high school friends that made a fight club to just hook up with two popular cheerleaders.

With an ridiculously unhinged final act, meet cute romance, and jokes that have you laughing your butt off. This 2000's coded movie is a a treat to start off the month.

After rewatching it again, Arlo has queer heavy themes if you think about it. Looking back, one of the film's characters, has some queer-coded hints about him.

I'm not going to spoil on the titular character, I think you should watch the film in order to get what I'm saying.

Other than that the film has an amazing soundtrack and has colorful characters as well.

Luca definitely is a queer film without a doubt. Focusing on two young sea monsters, spending an unforgettable summer in the town of Portorosso on the Italian Riviera.

It's themes of self discovery, chosen families, homophobia and acceptance.

This emotionally sweet sea-filled tale is a instant classic with a pretty much Canon couple too.

Robot Dreams also has hints of queer companionship and also is a story of loneliness, the film's out now, you definitely think you should see it.

Based off the comic in 2007, Robot Dreams is set in the 80's of New York City.

A lonely dog assemble and befriends a robot in a dialogue-less journey of friendship, love and rusted parts.

There's no surprises are a lot of clear queer-tonic themes in the films, especially among the two main characters, Robot Dreams is a perfect way to spend your summer.

Last year, Nimona was not only one final goodbye from Blue sky studios but is a part of the best films of 2023.

No surprise that the creator of the graphic novel also did Netflix's She-ra, the film is heavy on not only disability but also gender identity and transphobia.

it's a film that everyone will enjoy, thanks to it's commentary and electrifying performances by the cast, combine with pretty metal animation, Nimona is the film you should definitely watch.

🏳️‍🌈Happy pride month, hope all of you have a great day, and let me know on what think of these films.🏳️‍🌈

One thing I love Strange World is that there's no "villain" in a sense. Like Encanto, and Turning Red, it's just about families working through their problems with a little danger and spectacle thrown in as a little bonus.

The thing about not wanting to be like your parents only to unknowingly turn out just like them is actually crazy and I love how they did it in the film. Showing that it isn't too late for you to be better is a really cool concept to play with.

Man I love this movie 💀

Bonus Ethan Clade and Diazo 😌🏳️‍🌈

I love them 😁

Yup, definitely Canon!🥰🏳️‍🌈

Head canon for Jaeger Clade (Part 1):

1. Jaeger is Pan. Since he's based on classic 50's and 60's pop Sci Fi heroes who tended to be womanizers, and since Jeager clearly is accepting of his grandson being gay, it only makes sense Jaeger has loved men before and possibly is open to all expressions of gender. In his mind, the only two things that matter in love are whether you're truthfully and if you're good at getting out of near death situations caused by unforseen 'love' expeditions gone wrong. Also, he's good in bed.

2. Jaeger's a smoker. Obviously Disney would not let one of their characters openly smoke in the modern day, but just take one look at those teeth and tell me if this movie wasn't a Disney property that the creative team wouldn't put a cigar in his mouth.

3. Jaeger is self-taught. I don't know how else to explain it but he gives off the vibes of not really fitting into traditional western education and finding school to being really boring (except gym and history class) so he basically taught himself everything about exploring and how to get started in being a professional explorer. I wouldn't say he was a drop out but he definitely didn't go to college or any secondary education.

4. Once his mandatory school was over Jaeger saved up as much money as possible and basically backpacked across Avalonia. He wanted to get first hand experience of what it's like living without a safety net and just taking the days as they came. When he came back home, he realized becoming a professional exploring really was his calling.

5. During his time backpacking, Jaeger came across of lot of men who reenforced the notion that true men are those who are both physically and mentally strong, so in addition to wanting to be an explorer he also grew a desire to be physically strong by working out so that he could handle anything or anyone who wanted to pick a fight with him. Think of it as a superficial "Survival of the fittest" mindset.

6. Jaeger loves ribs. The juicier the better. He's kinda a kid in that he likes eating ribs in a messy way because he wants the experience of eating ribs to remind him of a younger and simpler time in his life. After he gets back to Avalonia, the first thing he does is invite the Clade family to the local tavern so he can eat all the ribs he wants without realizing he doesn't have any of his old money. Searcher musters up some dough and allows his father this request because, well, they all just saved the world and they're all starving.

7. The reason Jaeger has a hard time shaking hands with his son during the movie is actually because when Searcher was young he was constantly coming up with new handshakes as a way of expressing himself and Jaeger just couldn't keep track of how each one started. At first Jaeger thought it was cute of Searcher but eventually he told him to cut it out since handshakes aren't for 'real' men. When the two reconnect after 25 years, Jaeger approaches the situation as if Searcher is still 15.

8. Jaeger takes cold showers. He's built different. (But if there's warm water available he will definitely appreciate it)
