Brilliant analysis connecting the milk imagery acrossfilm to current political symbolism! The way you traced the pattern from Hitchcock through Homelander to the MAGA milk campaign is really sharp. Never realized how consistent the emotionaly stunted villain trope is until seeing them all lined up. The white supremacist lactose angle adds a whole other disturbing layer I hadn't considered.
Mina Le has a great video essay about milk, I think you might like it. Great analysis!
Oooh I love her I’ll have to check it out! Thank you! ❤️
