It feels really weird to see a movie you've been looking forward to seeing for ages, love it as much as you hoped you would - but discover your comfort character in it is NOT the person you expected AT ALL.
So I saw Encanto today, and I adored it, but I was expecting to love Luisa, the non-traditional body styled big girl with concerns of her own self-worth in relation to shouldering other people's burdens - not her sister Isabela who is presented in a very antagonistic way throughout most of the film. There's a twist to her character I wasn't expecting that made me reconsider every scene and interaction she's in before that, and now I'm low-key obsessed with her.
