Julie and The Phantoms is a Woke Netflix series and here is why you should watch it; a thread
1. A 16 year old latina AS THE MAIN CHARACTER played by an actual 16 y/o latina girl
2. Her best friend is also a woman of color and they're ICONIC
3. The main character girl has a healthy, and yes you read right, A HEALTHY relationship with her family, especially with her caring dad who supports her dreams
4. Now, for the part you all came for: THE CUTE ROCKSTARS GHOSTS
5. Putting their pretty faces aside, these 3 boys are the epitome of "fuck toxic masculinity and let's show how much we love each other" like, THEY HUG AND THEY KISS AND THEY CRY AND THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH WE NEED TO PROTECT THEM FROM THIS WORLD
It's important to note that they're three 17 y/o from the 90's and yet so Wokeℱ and affectionate
6. and if that wasn't enough, hear me out: one of the band members is OPENLY GAY and has a romantic interest that is definitely not a one sided crush and Very Important to the main plot
that was not a spoiler btw, it's mentioned in the first episode
7. That said, this is an appreciation tweet for Booboo Stewart giving the gays what we deserve
8. if cute ghost, cute gay ghosts and stunning women of color aren't enough for you, their music will be. Trust me. They have bop after bop, you won't be disappointed.
9. With the great representation of queer people, people of color and healthy relationships, Kenny Ortega gave us the masterpiece he never could under Disney. Julie and the Phantoms is the love child of HSM and Descendants but in its unique way.
No matter your age, you should definitely watch Julie and The Phantoms on Netflix. Me, a 22 y/o can recommend.
10. Now, to illustrate all my previous points, here are a bunch of random pictures of the cast that will make you go watch them on Netflix right now.
JUST LOOK AT THEM
And some random memes for the fans who already love jatp but still read all of this:
And once you finish watching, come back here and let's cry about how much we need the second season right now :(((
