Cause, like, it COULD make sense with the mythology. But that little girl has to be possessed [eta] rather than the MANIFESTATION or something of this demonic female who is, sort of by definition of her story, sexually mature.
Yeah. That's part of the reason I don't know where to go with it. Because on one hand, I KNOW the writers have little to no clue what Lilith MEANS and HOW MUCH she means that to Feminist thought. And so I get what they're trying to do there with the Biggest Baddest Demon Lore and all that shit and I LOVE the idea of Lilith as this huge badass with all these complex motivations. But on the other hand, COME ON catch a clue for fuck's sake and understand that this kind of shit MATTERS and I ALSO know they may or may not Go There
( ... )
I have perhaps been watching SGA too much - the IDEAL of "riterz! ur doin it wrong". And desperately fanwanking a whole shit-ton of things so that I can retain my love for Mah Show. So I could just be on a roll.
*throws hands up* I'll try to trust at least in Sera Gamble that they'll...make it okay. Maybe. God.
I'd love your version of Lilith. THAT would be mighty awesome.
I don't buy into fluffy bunny Lilith anymore than I buy into fluffy Diana or fluffy Morrigan (ha, just let T rant about that one) or even fluffy Bast. Female deities all have their 'I gnaw on your bones and rip your heart from your chest' side. I just don't know about the show pitting male hunter society against female demon army. Because the show doesn't have a grip on powerful GOOD females, I doubt they can deal with powerful BAD females without making me want to smack them all.
I facepalm.
Like, srsly? A feminist icon that you decide to turn into a child? I dunno. Maybe they want to turn Gloria Steinem into a vampire for good measure.
(Sorry, I'm kinda bitter.)
