Very awesome piece! I would like to point out though that the monsters of fairy tails were actually intended to represent real people. The wolf in Red Riding Hood was meant to represent common men to young girls where the huntsmen represented the ideal man who is safe and boring… the point of the tail was cautionary in concerns with virginity and purity…

I was very much hoping to hear a comparison to reality TV stars but ehh… I can dream… maybe I’ll write about it!

This was certainly fun to read! thanks!

I feel like the only reason the love angle was useful was as a “KRILLIN NOOOO! power up trope”

Films like Holes come to mind when thinking of great adaptations but of course with a lot of source material, consent can’t be given because they are gone. Their is something to say about transitioning mediums in that it isn’t always wise to have an author direct or even envolve themselves too much in the filming process… Frank Miller anyone?
