How Batman: Soul of the Dragon Successfully Sidelined The Dark Knight
As an extremely avid fan of DC’s animation, I’ve become familiar with the way the studio uses Batman as a bit of a Trojan Horse to introduce some of their lesser known characters.

Li Mei is a little-known screenwriter, with no famous works, no successful cases, only her so-called "screenwriter's perseverance" and a husband who loves to cheat. Hao Jinjun, this love-hearted husband, is ready to divorce Li Mei, because he feels that he really loves and looks forward to it. However, he was wrong. When he saw his old classmate Bai Hua, he was attracted by Bai Hua's beauty. When Hao Jinjun was about to pursue Bai Hua, Bai Hua died. Hao Jinjun did not call the police because he believed that it was Li Mei and Qi Panpan who killed Bai Hua, and they were also his loved ones. A few days later, the police discovered Bai Hua's body, and it was Hao Jinjun's son, Hao Jiangang, who was in charge of the investigation of this case. Will he find out the truth of the incident, and what choice he will make in the face of family affection and justice.

The plot could’ve really been interesting if the elements of lycanthropy was integrated with perhaps the struggle of identity of being LGBTQ+. It's an experience for so many that as they’re starting to realizing their true selves, they feel like a monster, especially if they come from unsupportive homes or communities. Instead, the horror and transformation elements seem thrown in without contemplation of how this could deepen the narrative.
The Slumber Party Massacre wonderfully combines the suspense of its horror with its commentary on gender, creating a memorable slasher classic that began a horror trilogy entirely written and directed by women.
The plot lags, the moral lessons are misguided, but are those fluffy little donut creatures adorable? Yes. Yes, they are.
(Disclaimer: Harmful Language) In celebration of Pride Month, Father's Day, and father figures (and whoever supports you), I revisit Moonlight's brief but spectacular character, Juan. With overarching themes tied to masculinity, I reexamine his intimacy with Little.
'Bros' is a must-watch for October's LGBTQIA+ History Month and it's as good a rom-com as any! Don't let box office numbers or misguided reviews deter you from this great film.
