Let me tell you a little something about that phrase that gets thrown around regarding media “Representation matters.”
-
I’d been avoiding news of Rogue One because I wanted to be surprised by the first trailer. That said, I got the impression it was about Poe.
-
That was awesome, bc Poe is awesome, and I wanted to see more of him and his story.
-
Imagine my surprise, though, when I saw the teaser today and it focuses on a badass woman.
-
Women are so rarely cast as leads, and when they are, too frequently the movie is then branded as a movie just for women.
-
To see a woman as the lead in a sci-fi action flick (again!!!!!)… well, it took me by surprise. I cried. Representation matters.
