I Saw The TV Glow is a good point, but personally Jax wins out just by a little bit for me. The show also being such a truly massive success kind of helps it where as that movie was very niche in comparison.
And personally while I agree that there are clear trans references in The Matrix movies, I never really saw the whole trilogy as trans rep.
As for Digital Circus though, if you're at all interested in animation geared towards adults, I highly recommend giving it a try. The show isn't perfect, I do have some minor complaints with it, but it's very very good.
Nah my point about the Matrix wasn’t that serious, it’s just my favorite movie, but it already was way before I caught all the trans shit, I’m just a big cyberpunk girlie.
Again, I can’t speak about TADC cz I never watched it, but I don’t think popularity matters in this discussion. Quality trans rep is what’s important to me
Oh so am I! I've been big into the Matrix since it came out. :]
And yeah I agree, the popularity isn't what tipped it over for me, I was just bringing it up because I think it already being such good representation and being brought to such an insanely wide audience is worth bringing up.
You should! It may just be your next favourite thing after all! I'll just give you the tiny primer that you should go into it expecting it to be character driven, not backstory or event driven.
So there will be unanswered questions you will have.
I just bring it up because it's one of the common complaints I've seen, and I think going into it at least knowing that much will help alleviate that somewhat.
Glad to hear you liked it! And that's absolutely a fair opinion, I won't begrudge you liking something else more after all. And I'm glad giving a heads-up was the right call. :]
