The Heathers trailer is so brutally unpleasant and really seems to enjoy knocking on minorities for no reason that I’m honestly convinced that these people don’t really give a shit about the original film’s intentions and just wanted an excuse to go “SEE! MINORITIES CAN BE BULLIES TOO”
Like the whole minority bait shit was bad enough but I really wasn’t expecting the movie to be like “hey I bet you think it’s weird that these marginalized kids managed to become super powerful and popular? Well we do too and we’re gonna mock them relentlessly for it”.
I mean on the plus side, it makes the movie even more ireedamable
OKAY YOU KNOW WHY IT STRUCK A WEIRD CORD WITH ME, because the protagonist was a skinny, straight, white girl. It’s like they were trying to imply that the antagonists are meant to represent a possible future where they somehow have enough power and popularity to bully the conventionally attractive protagonist.
Basically it’s less of a Heathers reboot and more like a live action version of this pic
