Legally Blonde The Musical has been beloved since Laura Bell Bundy first put on a pair of pink heels and Christian Borle uttered the words “Little Miss Woods Comma Elle.”

This truly means to take up the mantle of Elle Woods is no mean feat, so why do the women on stage have to be put in constant competition from the media instead of being uplifted?

To me it feels like a great example of how being a content creator in the here and now can inspire something which exceeds any personal expectations and especially expectations from big name studios who haven’t seen something like this before and have reportedly been shifting to a focus on ‘second screen viewing’.

The heights the theatrical release have reached are outstanding for an independent film made by someone from outside the industry and it’s quite lovely that the avenues he’s taken throughout his career have led him here.

This is a snippet from my blog post about Iron Lung and creativity in modern content creation, I’d really appreciate the reads and I’d love to know what others thought of the film too!

In the case of the ‘Iron Lung’ film it was born from a let’s play, quite like Mark’s career itself which is poetic when you think about it.

Markiplier played the game, contacted David Szymanski, and the rest is history. Now that is an incredibly simplified explanation which skips over the immense amounts of time and energy put in by the team behind this film but it helps you get the idea that maybe it wasn’t the most conventional way of starting the filmmaking process.

There’s something about the moment they took out Danielson being the moment they lost their honour all for Jon to find it again and really grapple with the hate and anger he’s fostered in this current generation

When you’re in your 20’s, looking out at the achievements of your peers is to see that some people are having kids, some are starting their careers, and some are starting over. It’s an entirely different thing to then coming to terms with the reality that none of those things are objectively the right or wrong thing to be doing.

Whilst all of this is going on, if we put life in its most simple terms, the one thing we have in common is food.

The way it shapes us through culture and flavour, the little things we pick up from the people we love, and the stories that we link to even the smallest hint of something in a meal.

In short, I watched Last Meals with Brennan Lee Mulligan and all I got was a deep sense of hope and understanding, put that on a t-shirt (I’m looking at you Sam Riegel).

I’ve had some of the loveliest feedback from this full piece, read the rest here!

- As everyone agrees at this point there are definitely no people of colour in the alternate dimension

- Luthor being in an episode makes so much sense, who else do you go for for information on an inter-dimensional portal? Specially think it’s gonna be with Flag Sr cause of dialogue we’ve gotten, it will be one of the last episodes (that the press weren’t allowed to see as to keep it a surprise) and will allude to how he gets out to be apart of Superman: Man of Tomorrow (I really think he’ll be president by the third movie)

- A lot of Chris’s growth will be from realising truly how much impact the people close to you have on your life, with Ads not being in this dimension, that Harcourt being this idealised girl next door archetype defined by a place which does not allow for the existence of a woman such as his dimensions harcourt, and whatever else we may find out about this dimension which is drastically different from his.

- Adrian in the alternate dimension met a similar fate to his comic book counterpart or is just in a bad way in general - I just think this would be an interesting way to do it as we see so much comedic relief from him that this reveal could hit like a ton of bricks

- The moment it clicks as to why this place is the way it is will result in a diabolical needle drop (I also think removing the sound entirely for complete and total silence in that one moment of such a chaotic show could be an interesting way to do it)

- Rick Flag Sr and Jr will have a scene together but it will be along the lines of Flag Sr seeing his son and not interacting with him due to his job, just getting more emotional and even angrier with Chris because of what he has lost

- With Economos I think it’s going to be more about the idea of betrayal and I think his compliance in this operation may end with something very bad happening before the final resolution but I can’t put my finger on what exactly
