THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA 2x11 | “Belly of the Beast”

da bad kidzzz >:-)

[ID: The main cast of Dimension 20′s Fantasy High posed as if they were looking into the camera. They are in a nondescript city-like landscape. Fig is closest, crouching, wearing a punk inspired ensemble and denim jeans. Behind her is Fabian, sitting and leaning back, wearing a casual yellow button up over a blue t-shirt and styled denim jeans, as well as socks and sandals. Riz is standing behind him, wearing his signature cap, a tan overcoat, and dark pants with a graph design on them. Kristen is standing behind Fig, wearing a yellow and green plaid t shirt and a denim jacket with a lesbian flag pin on it, and wearing green shorts. Adaine and Gorgug are in the back, Adain leaning against a wall wearing a sweater, blue scarf, and a navy blue pleat skirt, and Gorgug standing wearing a drug rug style sweater, a bucket hat, and grey sweatpants. He is holding drumsticks. They are all smiling at the camera. End ID]

Rings of Power is Insidiously Sexist

And I’m tired of pretending none of us can see it.

If you enjoy the show, please don’t take this as an attack on you. All media has problematic elements and we all do the best we can in a messed up world. My ire is reserved strictly for the people making these “creative” choices.

The way the show treats Galadriel is misogynistic.

Turning the kind, matronly sage imbued with divine wisdom by the light of the two trees into a naive, selfish hothead who gets ship baited with both the villain AND her son-in-law for titillation is incredibly sexist.

They wouldn’t have had Elrond kiss his father-in-law to “save” him. Everyone would’ve rightfully been disgusted. So why is it okay to do this to Galadriel?

Elrond wouldn’t kiss Gil-Galad, or Celebrimbor, or his bff Durin to “save” them. We would all recognize this as sloppy OOC writing just meant to stir up shippers. So why is it acceptable to do to Galadriel? Being a female character is not an invitation to use her as fan service ship bait. Not once but TWICE.

The way the score swells and the kiss is deep and framed as romantic (even though he’s handing her something and didn’t need to shove himself on her like that at all!), despite the fact that Galadriel is married and elves are by nature monogamous (so much so that forcing yourself on them can even KILL them). As if everything about the narrative framing is subconsciously telling you to ignore Galadriel’s POV and the discomfort she would be feeling and be moved by how “meaningful” this kiss is. But also it’s a deception so don’t get mad! So incredibly transparent.

The fact that they also made her an arrogant idiot that fell for Sauron’s manipulations, when in Tolkien’s canon she is described as one of first to see through him, is also a telling choice. Especially when it would’ve made more sense to have Celebrimbor be the one manipulated and fooled.

So why have it be Galadriel? Why not do their weird ship-teasing bullshit between Annatar and Celebrimbor? At least it might serve the story then.

It’s because she is “female elf”, and therefore she has to be mean, violent, selfish, and stupid. But she isn’t allowed to be criticized either! That’s their idea of a “strong” female character.

So yeah. Personally I find that incredibly sexist.

So for that, I rate ROP a big old “cast it into the fire”.
