For me it was “The Most Controversial Children’s Book in History” by Solar Sands, in which he analyzes The Giving Tree. It led me to think about my relationship with my parents, and about what kind of relationship I might have with my kids if I ever become a parent.
This one actually just dropped today so obviously it’s on the forefront of my mind, The Thousand Faces of Cassian Andor by AtTorr. Goes in depth on how Tony Gilroy basically dared Disney to blink and they somehow didn’t. AtTorr goes through the entire first season linking our historical revolutions that inspired Gilroy to the shows fictional one.
Even if you aren’t a Star Wars fan and have no interest in watching the show, it is a powerful piece of media and this essay highlights exactly why it’s message is timeless. It does not however answer the question on everyone’s mind, “How did Disney allow this to get made?!”
