there's nothing funnier than writing a story set in a world where fae exist and then making the love interest just some dude

“both her parents and adopted parents are dead” damn… double homicide

The way she so aggressively says “I LIKE BOYS” had my gay ass feeling attacked 😭😭😭

y’all this movie is based on the book “wicked” by jennifer l armentrout, and i used to absolutely love it as a teen. so at first i was like “omg how could they defile such a good book of my teen youth like this” and then i reread the book.....and unfortunately i think it depicts the book almost perfectly 😭

"Why does everything in this movie stank so bad?" It's the Musk

If a man doesn’t immediately call me “A Fragrant Piece Of Sparkling Garbage Wrapped in a Bow” and gives me the nickname” Bacon-Strip”. It’s not true love and I’m strutting off lmao

I’m honestly so disappointed there was not a love triangle between Ivy, Ren, and $3 Cosplay Sephiroth.

ALSO THE FACT that she has a best gay friend as a pet...this whole this is in fact a little homophobic

Bisexual here: the only time I’d ever refer to myself as “swinging both ways” is with a thousand layers of irony

“If your old lady don’t treat you right... I won’t either” KENNIE PLEASE😭

the saddest part of this movie is that Ren never experienced the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high school football

"Surprise plot twist! The bisexual not only 'swings both ways' but was also working as a double agent for the villains the entire time! HAPPY PRIDE."

Not symbolism of straight women treating gay men as inhuman beings that have no feelings and literally only serve to be a comic relief in their lives.

as one of the summoned bisexuals™, no I don't use that stupid phrase at all, but that blonde wig shown shortly after was MUCH more offensive

Kennie singing about his wig sent me into another dimension 😂😂😂

“The Fey with the Sesshomaru wig” was such a pull it felt like she literally reached inside my head to make a reference that only I would find hilarious.

I've painfully realized that the actor for the heartthrob is the same person who played the guy in Riverdale that said "I dropped out in the 4th grade, the run drugs, to support my nana"

Bisexual here and I have not only never said "I swing both ways" but I have never told any friend, gay, straight or otherwise: "I would do you" because that would be inappropriate. Thank you passionflix for perpetuating the stereotype that bisexuals are obsessed with sex

As one of the summoned bisexuals I gotta ask... Is it just me, or was the friend's bisexuality used as foreshadowing of her betrayal to the order? Cause now I'm concearned. Maybe the "swinging both ways" got me thinking too deep into it...

"Fariy" has been a slur for gay men for decades. The fact that they made the "Pet" stereotypically gay come across homophobic to me 🤔

The guy who played Ren looked familiar af, and then it hit me, He’s the “I dropped out in the fourth grade to sell drugs to help out my nana” dude from Riverdale 😭😭😭

Can we talk about how Tink is literally one letter removed from twink

“they’re on their mission to stalk out the guy with the sesshōmaru wig” KENNIEEEEE THE WAY I ALMOST SPIT OUT MY DRINK 💀🪦

Me: "Sharpie tattoos? Naw, how bad can it be y'all?" Me: *seeing Ren for the first time* "OH MA LORD!"

"No Plans. No thoughts. Just vibes and war." - The Trojan War

As a bisexual, I get what you were saying about the archaic sound of the term "swinging both ways". I honestly havent said that to describe my sexuality nor have i heard other bisexuals use that. Ive only ever heard it in movies or read it in crappy novels but thats just me. That being said, i get tired of the trope of the bisexual being hyper sexual and/or being annoyingly over flirtatious.

“MY BOYFRIEND’S DEAD!”😭 What’s up with protagonists and everyone who could have loved them being dead?😭😂😂😂😂😂😂

"The fae conjures up a wig" is the best Freudian slip ever.

The fact that they're supposed to be such BFFs yet Redhead jumps down her friend's throat once she jokingly flirts at her is kinda concerning. Plus a 'bisexuals are sex fiends/hypersexual' stereotype in this decade and time? Likelier than you'd think. And yeah as a bi girl myself I deadass haven't seen that phrase used outside media because most people just say they're bi. The only good part about this movie is Bargain Bin Lucius Malfoy conjuring a gun to point at the protag

“Swinging both ways” feels like what straight people call bisexuals

The wig looks exactly like Lucius Malfoy's wig in A Very Potter Sequel! That's hilarious when you know how low budget the AVPS production was!

"Hey bisexuals, do you ever refer to yourselves as swinging both ways." A bisexual here, and . . . yeah . . . I kinda did refer to myself as "swinging both ways" on occasion, but I'm a painfully old bisexual with outdated terminology, and I don't think the bi youngins use the same lingo as me. Nowadays, I only use the "swing both ways" phrase as a dad joke.

Fun fact: Brownie is actually a type of fairy believed to live in a house and help with household chores at night. They are not supposed to look like a winged ambiguously gay man however.

the way the main character reacted to her bi friend saying that she swung both ways by saying 'i like boys' with 100 percent seriousness like it was an attack made me physically recoil

I will say this movie is interesting in one aspect: it stayed true to a lot of the original mythology of the Fae. The Fae is a actual thing in Celtic/Irish lore. They’re a race of these supernatural beings that lived in hollow hills all over Europe. There are many types of Fae such as Brownies (yes that’s the English word of their actual name and yes who do have a notorious sweet tooth.), Phouka, and the sidhe. The Sidhe were a stronger type of fey who were more gifted magically than other types and were essentially the nobles and royals of the fey courts in lore. They have been described to have shining skin and strangely colored eyes. I don’t know if I’m this movie the Ancients are supposed to be the sidhe or if the Fae coming into the human worlds are sidhe and the Ancients are the gods or if both types are sidhe but it doesn’t matter. Overall the Fae are a mischievous but for the most part not evil. They do like pulling tricks on humans and using magic to hide their appearance, make humans do things, etc. However what they consider mischievous is usually disaster for humans so for people who grew up with these stories they do warn of encountering the Fae. As long as you don’t fuck with Fae the tricks they will pull on you are generally harmless. But if you tuck with them or even invite them thinking you’ll get a magic wish you’ll be very sorry. There are ways to protect yourself from falling afoul of the Fae such as wearing or keeping certain herbs such as clover on your person. Cold iron is also effective in killing them as well though I can’t remember exactly why. Just think of it as silver for werewolves and vampires. There are a bunch of other elements to the Fae as well such as tells of a good or light court and bad dark court known as the Seelie and Unseelie courts respectively. I don’t know if this series ever touches on the lore of these two differing courts/races but most fiction based off it usually includes this dynamic so I’m sure it comes up in some capacity if not using those exact terms. In short I’m impressed of the amount of research and accuracy in the movie and assumedly the book it’s based off as well but movie is still shit and this comment really didn’t need to exist I’m just a nerdy black girl by the mythology of the Fae in general and thought it was interesting how spot on it was. Love your videos btw! You really inspire me in a lot of ways and I’m glad to see people who look like me talking about nerdy things in a fun way. 💕

“I LIKE BOYS!” Ok Straighty McHet we get it

hi, bisexual here! 1. never have i ever said “swing both ways” that hasn’t been a phrase since like 1990. i can’t speak for everyone but never in my damn life have i heard that. 2. my best friends and i flirt all the time. we will constantly make s3xual remarks towards each other, especially with our token straight girl friend. and never once has she had to explicitly say “I LIKE BOYS!!” to clarify her sexuality. that’s some “we don’t want the audience to ship the girls more than the mc with our token hit guy so we’re just going to yell at you the fact that she’s straight.”

Eye- the red hair, the tattoos, the black leather jackets, the otherworld - THIS IS JUST KNOCK OFF SHADOWHUNTERS AJSJSJSJ

"It's the day of the apocalypse. No plan, no thoughts. Just vibes and war." is such a mood

“The fae conjures a wig…” -that part and the wig singing? Tears!🤣🤣

“The Fae conjures us a wig.’” Me: Now that’s a superpower I want. 😂😂😂😂

As a bisexual, the only variant of "swinging both ways" that I use is "I go both ways" because Megan Fox said it in Jennifer's Body

Seriously, Kennie has such a pretty voice. Those "wiiIIIIIIGGGG" made me both laugh and get impressed.

Kennie: “HEY BISEXUALS!” Me: “You rang?” Kennie: “Do y’all use the phrase ‘swing both ways’?” Me: “Excellent question! Some of us do, especially ironically. For instance, I use the phrase, ‘I swing both ways. Violently. With an axe,’ in an ironic way. Also, bisexuality is defined as attraction to 2 OR MORE genders, so some bisexual people, like myself, only use ‘swing both ways’ ironically bc the ‘both’ feels limiting. If I were to use it unironically I would probably say ‘swing in multiple directions,’ in reference to myself. But that’s just me!” My roommate, from upstairs: “You talking to your imaginary KZfaq friend again?” Me: “HER NAME IS KENNIE AND SHES MY HONORARY COOL AUNTIE.”

“Just vibes and war” people at passionflix are like “write that down” 👩🏾‍💻

Even as an straight woman, the fact that most of the times when writers and creators put a gay characters in their movie, is because they want them as "the comedic relief"; and their audacity to call it "diversity", makes me feel sick in my stomach.

The "I like boys." part of that was so horrifying godDAMN

I mean as a bi person there's a dungeons and dragons t-shirt I want that says "I swing both ways violently with an axe" in the bi flag colours and it's super cringe but I love it.

I feel like “swings both ways” is in the same basket as “batting for the other team” or “friend of Dorothy” where it’s, like, terms that LGBT people used to subtly refer to their/other’s sexuality back in our parents and grandparents day. And much like other older slang like the bee’s knees or groovy, i only ever hear it used ironically or at least tongue in cheek.

The villain guy looks like Lucius Malfoy in the same way Miranda Cosgrove looks like Michael Jackson if that makes sense. Also I can’t believe that the love interest is the same guy who looks like someone tried to draw a Jonas bother with their eyes closed from memory who was in Riverdale

The "Happy Pride!" killed me every single time 😂😂

Clearly this movie doesn't know what consent is. I mean if a man broke into my window or pushed me up against a wall w/o my consent I wouldn't find that attractive.

kennie: HELLO BISEXUALS me, waving excitedly at my phone screen: HIIII

imagine just being a completely normal human being, being mistaken as a fae, and then just getting stabbed by some random person whose like screaming at you that you're a fae. No one can convince me that this hasn't happened to someone.

“They can only die with a dagger from an old tree” so… the wish version of originals from the vampire diaries?

"So the fae conjures up a wig...conjures up a gun" Passion Flix gives us so much hilarious garbage.

... So I study folklore. Like, "currently getting a master's degree in the history of fairy folklore in the United Kingdom" study, and this movie gave me a migraine. SOME DEFINITIONS FROM ACTUAL FOLKLORE FOR YOUR, LIKE, DAY- Brownie- A fairy who's name comes from the scots-gaelic word "brunaidh" (pronounced a bit like "broo-nai", the dh is silent). They are physically very small, wizend little humanoids that do not have wings in any folklore that I am aware of. They are often very well dressed and live in barns and homes alongside humans. They are well known for their love of cleanliness and will reward or punish homeowners for their housekeeping habits and typically follow families down generations of home ownership. Very similar to the Domovoi from Russia, but less violent. Do not like to be repaid in clothes, but do like to be repaid for their work of protecting and keeping the house safe with milk or unsalted oatmeal. Fae- A broad-strokes term for creatures from the Otherworld. Can apply to everything from elves to kelpies to dragons. Super broad term. Otherworld- A concept primarily gleaned from Irish folklore that is also present in Welsh folklore. Similar concepts exist in Japanese myth (see the story of Urashima Taro, very sad story). The essence of it is, essentially, that there exists a world parallel to or overlapping with ours that we cannot see. From that other place many magical or holy figures come. In Irish folklore the Tuatha de Dannan (gods who are also fairies, it is complicated) live in the Otherworld, also known as Land Under Wave(Tir fo Thuinn), the Land of youth (Tir na nOg), Mag Mell (Plain of Delight), or the Isle of Apple Trees (Emain Ablach). It is not some horrific hell dimension, but a land of magic, myth, and yes, some danger. Lots of folklore has places that exist above or under our world, like an afterlife underneath our feet, or a heaven in the sky, but the Otherworld as a specific concept is of note because it is not IN our world, but connected to it via liminal places. You could wander through an area that connects this world and the Otherworld without wandering into it specifically. Like if county lines were super broad and vague. Halfling- Hobbit. No, really, a halfling is a hobbit. I could not stop giggling about this the ENTIRE TIME. This is a term from Dungeons and Dragons and Lord of the Rings. Whoever made this story googled "fantasy races" and did not bother to scroll down to actually, like, understand what the words meant. Iron- not a definition so much as an explanation of WTF is up with the iron... thing. In some folklore, it is said that cold iron, forged iron, can harm fairy flesh by burning it. The reason for this is debated amongst scholars and believers alike, and it is not a truth universally accepted nor present in all world folklore. The effects of the iron are also not universal. Some accounts say iron repels fairies and disgusts them, some say it literally burns their flesh, but there isn't a universal standard. Leannan Sidhe- I'm surprised this term didn't come up in the movie, because this is an actual semi-vampiric-kind-of type of fairie in Ireland! Leannan Sidhe basically eat the life of the people they attach to. Interestingly, they specifically attach to artists and poets, inspiring their victims to make the best art of their (short) lives. These creatures are, it is said, why artists die so young. Aos Sidhe (pronounced Aas Shee)- Translating to "people of the burial mounds", this is one of the most well-known words for fairies in Ireland. Creideamh Sidhe- A collection of practices and beliefs, or Fairy Faith, that surrounds the idea of appeasing, pleasing, and generally not pissing off the Good Neighbors/People of Peace/Aos Sidhe. It is still practiced in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, and many of the isles surrounding those countries today. The Aos Sidhe can be very violent and even murderous when they want to be, and a lot of folklore is based on what happens when someone makes a mistake and ends up with a debilitating fairy curse on their head. For further reading on fairy folklore if you want to understand just how bad this movie is- The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries, by Gerrards Cross At The Bottom Of The Garden, by Diane Purkiss Meeting the Other Crowd, by Eddie Lenihan Fairy Mythology, by Thomas Keightly A Bibliography of Irish Mythology and Folk Tradition, by Caoimhin O Danachair The Faerie Queens, by Sortia d'Este Gods and Goddesses of Ireland, by Morgan Daimler Magical Folk, by Simon Young BTW, none of my upset is aimed at Kennie, just at the filmmakers for doing less than no research. I are upset. Enjoy this youtube comment that comes with a bibliography!

Ren clearly doesn’t know the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high school football

God, I just relished that this movie and arguably all of Passionflix’s movies are like what Disney channel or Nickelodeon makes but for adults

“The fry conjures up a wig oop…”. I cackled… I died… I came back and I started crying… hhahahahahahaha

This is the worst fanfiction crossover of Lost Girl, The Originals & City of Bones ever made. Love your reviews.

Ren:“And you’re one bundle of kick as hotness” I can feel my nipples inverting 😭😭

Me, someone who has thoroughly researched fantasy because I'm a writer: that is not what a broonie is. They are little house goblins that tend to be darker skinned and covered in hair. They aren't tiny fairy sized and they don't have wins. They are goblin people at best and animal creatures at worst. I'm stressed. Also me, a bisexual: my dudes I am not a door. I do not swing. Keep your 90s terminology to your self.

14:02 I cant stop laughing at "The Fae Conjures Up A Wig."

To kennie's question, no I have literally only heard straight people say "swinging both ways"

i haven’t heard the phrase “i swing both ways” since jennifer’s body LMAOOO

I started binge watching your Passionflix reviews yesterday and last night I had a nightmare that I was trapped in one of those awful movies, hooking up with a moderately attractive insufferable man who didn't deserve me.

"If your old lady don't treat you right... I won't either" had me on the floor 😂😂😂

Ireland and Northern Ireland must be tired of the disrespect of their folklore.

The fae, the red headed female lead, the intricate black tattoos on the male lead. It’s giving “the mortal instruments “ fan fic. They just changed one or two things before turning it in. Lol

Gotta love it when the one character who identifies as bisexual in the movie also turns out to be the secret traitor of the group. Happy Pride!

13:43 so this is what happened to Lucius Malfoy after the war huh? I can see his bad choices had consequences

in the interest of giving personal input, hi im bisexual and when i wanna tell ppl im bisexual i just say "im bisexual". licherally never heard anyone irl pull the I Swing Both Ways :^) card

I have so much to say: - The supernatural plot wasn't bad though (with further development, it could've been good) - Them making Val (the bisexual black friend/sidekick) the snitch is low-key a hate crime. -Tink being comedic relief gives off "gay-best-friend" vibes. - "Sweetness" gave me traumatic flashbacks to 'cupcake' and 'are you lost, baby gorl?' 🤢🤮 - The... WIG... 👁️👄👁️ - Is Daddy David looking for a sugar baby? (asking for a friend) That's all I have to say. Love the Barbie hoodie 😍

She said “it feels like homophobic” I’m THROUGHHHHH 😂😂😂😂😂

You said his name was Tink and my immediate reaction was, "Oh no." Out loud. With no one around me.

a “bundle of kickass hotness” is probably the worst line i’ve ever heard in my entire life… WHO THOUGHT OF THIS???

Don’t disrespect Sesshomaru with that being’s horrible wig 😂😂😂😂😂

I'm a lesbian so I have been around the LGBT community quite a bit. The only time I've ever heard "going both ways" it was traditionally used as a derogatory term or as a description for my dog's eyes since they be all over the place

Why is this literally just the illegitimate love child of The Vampire Diaries and Shadow Hunters???

"Hey bisexuals!" Hi! "Do you refer to yourselves as swinging both ways?" I'm ~~early 20s, and have never heard another bi say that unironically. We'll say it as a joke, a la "I swing both ways. Violently, with a bat." Definitely more old school.

As a bisexual gal in my 30s, I have never said “ I swing both ways” lol

I have watched this review about four times now, and I keep coming back specifically for 13:42-14:03. The way you pause has me slightly startled and then when you started singing, I guffawed so hard. You make my day so much better, and I'm so thankful that you did this review and posted it. Please, please keep doing these reviews. They are so good and in-depth and you put so much humor and joy into them. Also, your make up is ALWAYS awesome. 💕 Beautiful singing, by the by.

As a bisexual i've never said "i swing both ways". It was a term used when bisexuality was just barely tolerated, and it being used in a movie made so recently is appalling. Also, the term brownie is actually the name for a subset of fae, they're small creatures who can be companions and help in different ways, but they definitely wouldn't just,,,live with a person. They have no need to

This looks like a bad Shadowhunters fan fic rip-off

The fact they had the black bi best friend say she would do the white straight girl in a film released during Pride month...that's gotta be some sort of hate crime

Aight so bare with me, I'm about to go full nerd mode. Disclaimer: this is just my knowledge from years of reading faerie YA mystery books. If anything is incorrect, I apologize. Fae: faerie (not to be confused with fairies) which are *usually* immortal mythical beings based in Irish folklore. They're separated into 2 courts - Seelie (Light) and Unseelie (Dark) (they're honestly both evil towards humanity, but the 2 courts don't mix+hate each other. The Seelie see themselves as good and vice versa). They have the ability to cast glamour to make themselves look beautiful and desirable. They usually view humans as either food or toys. There are also different species within the Fae. Those in the royal court are vastly stronger than most other Fae. Halfling: children born of a Fae and a Human, usually seen as abominations by pure blood Fae. Some will either look like their Fae parents or look entirely human (plus the added benefit of developing whatever power their Fae parent has) Brownie: small species of Fae, usually what most people consider when they think of fairies Also the reason lesser (weaker) Fae are able to get past the seals on the gates is because those seals are put in place to keep the Fae of the upper courts from getting out. Think of it like a mouse being able to slip through the holes in a cage that is keeping a tiger locked away. Haven't watched this movie (and I probably won't) but I hope that cleared up some of the confusion it caused by poorly explaining things lol.

This is such a rip off of Shadowhunters, it hurts my soul

this is high level shadowhunters fanfic, a series thats already fanfiction

This strikes me less as a Twilight ripoff and more as a Shadowhunters ripoff, which was itself a Harry Potter fanfiction to start with. 🤦🏻‍♀️

From the time Kennie mentioned halflings I rolled my eyes so hard I nearly knocked myself out. Immediately knew where this entire thing was going.

This gives me vague mortal instruments vibes, like they gave the main female red hair and dark eyebrows and said yea no one will notice.

Me: spacing out Kennie: "Sesshomaru" Me: ears perk up

"all of the halflings are adopted" "he saves her from getting hit by a moped" "supernatural romance" "demon halfling babies" iS THIS ANOTHER TWILIGHT FANFICTION?? PLEASE NO

I was doing my makeup this morning and out of nowhere, Kennie's 'WiIiIiIig' popped into my head... I couldn't continue, I was laughing so hard 😂

I had such a hard time paying attention to what Kennie was saying because I was so entranced by that sparkly eyeshadow. I am very into it.

I feel like passionflix is merging with my teenage CW supernatural phase, I don’t know how to feel about it 🤷🏾‍♀️

Just FYI, the term “trauma bonding” doesn’t mean to bond over sharing stories about trauma, but rather it describes the emotional attachment that develops in abusive relationships through the cycle of abuse, devaluation, and positive reinforcement.

Rewatching for today's video 😂 i forgot Wicked was a thing
