learned about the ending 8 hrs ago and am throughly in the anger phase of the stages of grief cause i’m sorry but that feels so sinister to completely warp THESE messages from THIS STORY??? to be clear lilo and stitch (the rest of the franchise as well as the series) is a story about an indigenous woman whose lost her parents and desperately trying to make things work so her sister isn’t taken from foster care? and then they find communal support allows for lilo to not be taken and instead grow up in a loving AND safe environment… also the fact that jumba and pleakly + stitch are aliens highlighting that found family that isn’t always two parents and that’s ok like sorry this is actually such important points that set lilo and stitch apart as a franchise and to erase it all????!!!!!
One of the things that makes the family conflict in Lilo & Stitch work narratively is that Cobra is correct in that Lilo and Nani's current situation is non-sustainable. And yes, Nani is not prepared to handle everything by herself. But losing the custody is not the solution either, and to a degree Cobra seems to believe the same (he legit does not want that to happen), but if Nani can't solve the problem, then from his perspective it's the least harmful solution.
And the conflict is solved because what Lilo and Nani need (what they REALLY needed) is a support net. Someone, anyone to be there to take at least SOME of the burden from Nani and give her breathing room.
Which is why Jumba and Peakley joining the family alongside Stitch, and become a constant pressence who share the burden of the household, makes all the difference.
And this does not solve all the problems, because the movie is not about magically resolving those problems, it's about putting the characters in a situation in which they can move forward as a family. And for their desire to be a family and be together as a family, to be respected.
Anyway, someone told me what the remake did for the ending
in denial and rewatching the series… remember the halloween episode (“Spooky”, Season 1 Ep 5) where idk experiment 300 shows people their worst fears… and nani sees cobra changing his mind and saying he’s taking lilo…
“Covid game me narcolepsy” no you fucking pervert it didn’t. You’re just a weirdo with a gross fetish. Covid didn’t make you suddenly want to fuck dead people. Keep that shit to yourself you gods damned weirdo
I have type 2 Narcolepsy. Studies have shown that serious viral infections can cause people to develop Narcolepsy if they are already genetically susceptible to having it. This includes covid. That is what happened to me.
You on the other hand might want to google the difference between Narcolepsy and Necrophilia….
maybe it’s cause it’s 2:30 but this was funny enough that i gotta have it to refer back to for a laugh
back to this quote, I think I’ve cracked a major reason why training women to fight was Illyria going so abysmally other than “all Illyrian men are just The Worst” it’s like. not only are the men extremely psychologically fucked up from experiencing this insane amount of violence and abuse starting at eight there’s also going to be natural feelings of resentment that the women didn’t have to go through this and still get to be warriors and fight. they desperately need to rationalize the amount of abuse they experienced so it can mean something so now anyone who didn’t spend their formative years getting their bones broken is obviously No True Warrior. There’s an obvious misogyny element but also deeper psychological component that if they see someone like the Valkyries succeed when they started training as adults they might have to look inward and realize it was all for nothing. that they suffered so much for so many years for ultimately no reason. sunk cost fallacy yada yada
and the aspects of vassa and the mortal queens from the story The Firebird and Princess Vassila with the whole boiling water (like the cauldron) and one becoming handsome(immortal youth and beauty) and then ugly (like the aged queen)
When you realize S.J.M. most likely based Baba Yellowlegs off of Baba Yaga from Bartok the Magnificent
