Headcanon: Rumi is trans
(lemmy.sdf.org)
OK, so this is just a screen capture with subtitles, but the line was just too perfect.
Everyone should have accepting friends like these ☺️
Well yeah, but they didn't have a chance to up till that point. Rumi stayed in the closet until she was outed by the demons right at the end. As I see it, all the conflict within the trio was driven by her trying to stay hidden. The message I got was: you don't need to hide like you were taught as a kid; your friends will accept you; we're stronger together.
But perhaps that's just my experience coloring things. Society really has changed a lot since the 80s and 90s.
The question the movie evades is: stronger together under Gwi-Ma, or under Rumi? They omit asking if demons under Rumi still have soul possession, and if “demonphobia” persists. You have to recall, folks died under Gwi-Ma influence. “Demonphobia” should have generational trauma to heal.
