i'm having a lot of pent up feelings that i need to get out.

we've been watching a lot of archer. actually, like, we watched all of it. and at the end of the last episode on netflix, we find out the main female character is pregnant. (spoiler alert? lolz oh well.) at this, i was FURIOUS. i was so upset. why is the only interesting thing that can happen to a female character for her to get pregnant? pam beesly, anyone? i know there are some very important reasons i may be overreacting. like, of course this won't happen with a male character, because that's anatomically impossible. and everyone has families. families in art are art imitating life imitating art. i get it, it's okay for characters to have families. also, getting pregnant is a really exciting and possibly the biggest life change a person can have. but still... why is it the catch all SURPRISE PLOT TWIST in movies and tv shows? like, literally, why does this have to happen? i am so furious. like, not watch the show ever again mad. at least in the office it was about pam and jim's love and their family... i guess... but archer is straight up satire on satire on satire. so like, give me a break. what a misogynistic plot choice.

the other one is how much i hate chris pratt. i know i am a terrible person for saying this and he is lovely, has a lovely family, is an actually nice guy and shit. im getting de ja vu so maybe i blogged this before but i'll never forget dh saying to me once when we were watching parks and rec together that leslie was not funny at all but that andy was the shit. I HATED THAT. please see earlier post about mook movies and comedy. leslie, a funny, well written, smart, ambitious, feminist female character doesn't have a thing on andy, who everyone thinks is funny because he's stupid and acts dumb. let me say that again. an ambitious, put together, spit-fire, feminist character cannot compare to a male character defined by being dumb. that is incredibly frustrating. then galaxy of the guardians happened, which honestly was MEDIOCRE, at best. but everyone loved it because chris pratt!!!!! and now he's a big star!!! and he deserves a mcconaissance!!!! and everyone on the internet is so excited! i understand that he's pretty much the male jennifer lawrence but that also just doesn't even compare. jennifer has been distinguished in everything she does and is a consistently great actor. then chris pratt does two "funny" (if you're into that) gigs and now he's the most important actor in hollywood. like, give me a fucking break.



i think i'm just having a bad day. but i really needed to talk to someone about this.
