Whatever chucklefuck first decided that abortion is the moral equivalent of murder, and that late-term abortions are tantamount to inhumane medical treatment should have been burned at the stake.

In my head, they went back to Hyrule and he became King Zora, she became his queen, and their daughter is Princess Ruto from Ocarina of Time.

It’s a tv trope. Even in ballet.

Except dancing with mops and brooms is an old trope, the kind of thing Del Torro would add to homage those old films.

It’s Creature from the Black Lagoon, it’s Abe Sapien, it’s a consensual version of Alan Moore’s Neonomicon.

Did you also enjoy My Darling, My Hamburger?

Hi- Abe Sapien here to say if ANYONE is not getting credit for turnng Del Toro onto Sexy Fish people it’s me. Who he’s already worked with

I did not look to find this comment here, on Jezebel, but am SO glad I found it. :)

Right? Those paperback covers were also the best of 1970s graphic design.

Either way, it’s basically a movie about a Zora, so Nintendo should sue both their asses.

A friend of mine likes to call this film “The Fish Fucking Movie,” which would’ve been an AMAZING title.

Now I just want to reread The Pigman and feel achingly guilty for everything selfish I ever did as a younger person.

Actually, if you want to get more technical, story is vaguely based on “Amphibian Man”

No fan fiction needed. The Swamp Thing comics had plenty of freaky erotica to begin with.

The only woman falling in love with a sea beast I care about is Molly Michon.

I found it very similar to Avatar, but maybe just because of the blue lights on the fishman.

I know I’m probably a fangirl for saying this, but I trust Guillermo. He’s my favorite director and he hasn’t let me down, yet. This was my favorite movie of 2017 and I really hope this accusation isn’t true. I cried like a baby at least 3 times during the movie itself! Sexiest movie of the year!

It’s a Beauty and the Beast mashup with The Creature from the Black Lagoon. It’s not hiding either inspiration, either.

I’ll just say I saw this movie yesterday and cried like a baby and everyone should see it. It’s beautiful and strange and satisfying and not your typical Oscar bait yawn fest.

Also, the heroes are a woman with a disability, a black woman, and a gay man and the villain is basically a stand-in for toxic white…
