WyldStyle's secret identity
So I got a picture retweeted by Feminist Frequency today.
Some of you may not remember far back enough to realize what a crazy reversal this is, but back in 2012, when FemFreq was briefly doing analysis of the toy industry before moving on to video games, I was convinced that Anita Sarkeesian had a personal vendetta against me (see: " Feminist Frequency Enemy Number One," the entry right before the exceptionally non-objectifying post, " boobs").
The picture itself isn't that any particular masterpiece - FemFreq is selling a new t-shirt and I did a five-second photoshop to put it onto WyldStyle from The LEGO Movie - but in so doing I spotted something I'd never noticed before.
The logo that kicks off the Tropes vs. Women videos
WyldStyle's hair
I've got to admit I thought it was weird that the movie guys made WyldStyle's color palette such a specifically non-LEGO pair of colors, but I never thought to wonder why.
I wonder if they spent billable hours trying to figure out how to make hoop earrings in Lego.
ALSO: Not to spoiler the movie or anything, but pay attention to how WyldStyle kicks off the revolution and saves the world.
