Sky High
This film has made it back to my Top 4 Favorite Films 💯 which funnily 3/4 of it stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead 🩷
I had only recently discovered that Royal Pain's suit was supposed to be pink & gold but was most likely changed to make the "Royal Pain is a woman?" reveal less obvious—which actually makes sense, but the pink would've looked so good!!! No wonder Gwen's homecoming dress was pink with gold detailing.
Also had no idea that the film had an alternate opening, which made a lot of missing pieces make sense, since the scene made it to the final cut only as a flashback. But it would've added clearer context for the overall film if it had been kept. Like genuinely, I wasn't aware Royal Pain's sidekick was called Stitches...or that he was the one who raised her because he was there when she got turned into a baby when the Strongholds got ahold of her Pacifier. A lot of these small details were only mentioned briefly in the film.
Something that didn't make sense to me though was how fast Will changed up and suddenly was in love with Leyla...because prior to his crush on Gwen, it seemed that he only treated her platonically. It happened way too fast and I wished we had more time to see if Leyla and Warren actually had potential because I was rooting for them.
I wish we had a spinoff show of some sorts because I really loved the sidekicks friendgroup dynamic.
I also felt so ragebaited over Will's decision-making ngl but I guess he's a teen who didn't know any better...
