there is something SO funny with like. okay so listen i know a major criticism of the original 1937 snow white is that our titular character is very passive in the film. she just kinda lets things happen to her. which i understand as a criticism despite that kinda being the Basic Fairytale Structure. i get it. i do. esp since her main thing is wishing for someone else to come get her. which i've defended in the past as not explicitly anti-feminist since she's literally an abuse victim child who has been made to take care of an entire castle solely by herself and blah blah you've all heard me fistfight for this movie before

all that to say. it's really funny to me that the snow white reboot that nobody cares about has given her a new #feminist anthem but called it "waiting on a wish." in contrast to "i'm wishing." they changed it from the active tense to the passive. they made it more passive than it was initially. and again i know it's just a Title thing, that the og "i'm wishing" is also her being passive. but it's so funny. and so lowkey symbolic of the disney reboots' failed Updating™ of the source material. that they changed the active tense to passive. in trying to make her more #girlboss. am i making sense
