What do you think of the amazon trio? In my opinion I like them as they're one of my favorite villains behind galaxia and above zoisite they're also pretty funny in supers and eternal
I’m mostly mixed on them. I like their characters in the abstract, they have a fun dynamic and their origin is interesting, but their execution is really terrible in my opinion. And I do feel bad cause I know people like them and most of the reasons I don’t like them are not 100% their fault.
If you know me, you know there are certain.. themes.. that I’m not really into being in a sailor moon story and they very much fall on the other side of that line.
With Sailor Moon being a mainly female cast show, I think the story does mostly a good job at not falling into dangerous territory, but they just dropped it with the Amazon trio. The s*a metaphor was 100% unnecessary, it did nothing for their characters or their development, it didn’t even work as to make us hate them and root for them as villains cause they all get redeemed by the end.
Tigers eye is the worst offender by far, but they all get their own ‘spotlight’ and oh god… fish’s eye .. you deserve better. He could’ve been much better representation, instead he really fell into the role of the “deceiver”, which is prob the worst “queer representation” trope you can get for a cross dressing and possibly trans-man character. . (I get it it was the 90’s, that’s why Im not mad about it. Just disappointed, because with HaruMichi they clearly showed they can get queer rep right)
All that said, I do understand my vision is heavily tainted by bias against their actions in the show and how the writers showed to portray such actions, so I’ve learned to sort of distance them from what they are in canon and sort of try to see them as what they are and mean to other people.
Also yeah, they’re pretty funny though.
