Those scenes of Mizi being very close with men made me so uncomfortable this poor lesbian girl who is getting abused and exploited, sexualized and objectified is now being forced to be physically close to men to further sexualize her and there’s nothing she can do about it
And Sua my precious precious girl, she literally has not done anything wrong in this eps (that I’ve seen yet) and she gets treated so badly. She doesn’t get to debut which was also her dream. She has to watch HER GIRLFRIEND be close with men and be sexualized knowing how uncomfortable it makes her. She’s watching her love spiral and when she tries to step in she’s hit. Physically abused (I don’t blame Mizi but seriously 2 for 2 atp, stop hitting her) never getting her dream then having her love her turned into a zombie. So she decides to also become one because Sua cannot live without Mizi and she will always die for her. So she becomes a zombie gets abused and exploited and then dies for her love as she gets chopped up to be sold.
Wether it’s all of her or just her arm is unclear, eternal means it goes on for ever so maybe it’s just her arm and they’ll have her still preform, like how it’s implied Mizi lost her eyes (they were sold) but she still preforms, we will probably have to wait and see. Or if they chop everything up and once again Sua dies for Mizi. But in this universe Mizi doesn’t seem sad at first but I think she just isn’t able to express it because of the audience. Once she finished her sign song it seems her face drops or maybe not.
Sua my girl you have done nothing wrong and yet you are always the victim. Mizi my girl you are never treated right and you will always be villainized for having reactions to your trauma because you are a woman.
I BETTER NOT see ANY lesbian Mizi deniers because of those few frames when it’s about how she is getting EXPLOITED AND SEXUALIZED
The contrast of the music and the visuals, how even the visuals contrast with each other. The switch to the black in white towards the end. Everything was done so well, I really enjoyed it some parts made me uncomfortable but that’s the point. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE IT IS A DIRECT CRITIQUE AND CRITICISM OF THE IDOL AND MODEL INDUSTRY AND THE PARASOCIAL AND CREEPY RELATIONSHIPS PEOPLE HAVE WITH IDOLS.
In my opinion Alien Stage was about the grayness of humanity both the good and bad but mostly about how humans can always love and how beautiful that love is. It comes in different ways and forms but no matter what humans will always love. I think Zombie Stage is going to be the other half the humans can’t love without exploiting and will focus on mainly the harms of humans. No matter what humans will always exploit. It will be a contrast of love and exploitation but that’s just my prediction.
