Before Bedtime

Before Bedtime

I mean there are a looooot of complains that Riley has no personality which on some level is true, she’s written to be average so that every kid can see themselves in her in this very distinct Big Company Way …the “average” girlhood experience is actually 1) a white middle class American one and 2) the franchise creator’s daughter’s! HOWEVERRRR she does have a personality, we see it all the time, literally all the fucking time but because we are subsumed in it, continuously, it’s so easy to miss it. The whole POINT of the franchise is to see Riley the opposite way we usually see fictional characters, showing us what she thinks before what she does. The final stretch of the first movie is a good twenty minutes of Riley arguing with herself on wether if running away is a good idea, and making the wrong decision out of anger. The second movie begins by detailing what a hockey match is like for her (putting on my mouth guard! skating like crazy! shit, I crashed into my friend!) but since her thought process is depicted as a dialogue, and every emotion a little creature, it’s very easy to forget it’s all her.

as a child being told "the moon controls the tides" with no additional explanation was like. oh okay. you want me to believe in magic? you're talking about magic right now? okay. fine
