One Thing I Love About Princess Mononoke Is How Lady Eboshi Is Not The Stereotypical Evil Villain Who

One thing I love about Princess Mononoke is how Lady Eboshi is not the stereotypical evil villain who doesn't care for anyone but themselves, it would have been so easy to turn her into a villain like the Onceler, but instead she helps people with leper and give girls a chance to have a life without having to resort to prostitution.

Not only that, but she also gives the women a safe place to live and means to defend themselves in the case of an attack where the man are not around. She's an antagonist, but still a great lider for her people.

Of course what she's doing to the forest and it's creatures is wrong, but even then I can't fully hate her cause her actions are not moved by greed, but by the need to protect her people. And in the end, when she says they'll build a better town, I fully believe this time she tried to do things right.

I also love how San didn't just forgive and forget everything in the end just to stay with Ashitaka. The humans took so much from her and she has the right to resent them.

Oh man...

Thirsting over Tony Leung for months after Shang-chi (making my way through all his old films, rekindling my daddy issues) has clearly taught me nothing bc Namor has me back on my bullshit. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

This was literally me SM

Namor: we could burn the world together

Me, visibily shaking in the cinema:
