Last year when I read that Guillermo Del Toro made a point to have the woman fuck the fish monster in his new movie I was just like “damn Guillermo you’re a weirdo calm the fuck down” but now I’ve seen the film it’s like I get it. This story needed sex in it because it was centered in a disabled woman. Elisa was such an easy character to infantilize but then Del Toro makes a point to make her sexual, he throws it in the face of the audience and doesn’t let them treat his badass sweet protagonist as less sexual than any other grown woman would be perceived as. It’s awesome, thanks for being a weirdo Guillermo.
