#re: that tudum thing #''love that they gave us marwan and luca for this bc they added no value - i love them but literally they said nothing #but the producers were like we know our audience and they're gay and they want they gays and they were right'' #i totally totally agree with this observation but am not at all tickled by it tbh #anyone following me on twitter for any length of time knows how irritated i am at how netflix has been treating our fandom #so to me marwan & luca's fast and superficial inclusion feels both cynical and patronizing #idk idk they KNOW they have a large queer contingent of fandom yet most of the time they ignore us like they want us gone #then just throw this at us like ''shut up here you go'' #and this movie (if/when it actually does start getting promoted) will be sold as one of their ''bro'' action flicks #(just watch) #maybe they'll surprise me but now all i see is their reticence to acknowledge or engage with fandom in a meaningful way #i don't want condescending scraps... if they're going to give this movie the budget and action (MORE ACTION!!!!!) of a bro movie #could they at least give it the enthusiastic promo of one of their bro action movies? #sorry for my rant #i'm NOT putting this in the tag because i don't want to spread my cynicism all over #lol #personal #will probably delete later
