I AM HEEEERE FOR THE JOHN GREEN SHADE

I love John Greenut he does love to write about manic pixie dreamgirls. It's not necessarily a bad thing as i'm sure those types of girls exist but It is definately a theme in his book and his main characters always fall head over heals for them. He broke new ground though with TFIOS when he made a manic pixie dreamboy out of Augustus Waters.

I disagree MPDGs don't exist in real life. The whole issue of MPDGs is that they only exist to teach some guy a lesson about life and happiness. I've never met a woman who existed solely for that

You do know that Paper Towns was about Margo actually being just a girl with her own problems not a whirlwind of adeventure or a call to action right?

parallels to manic pixie dreamgirl by olivia gatwood??

@maryloudoherty6919

2 жыл бұрын

Earliest vid I can see for this is 2015, so Gatwood came second. Also, because it's about the trope, then of course there will be similarities.

Thanks so much for this!

I realize that she is correct about this poem, but John Green's book was about vanishing the manic depressive pixie dream girl troupe.

Mm, I would say that Paper Towns does that, but his other books? Not so much. He also used this trope in so many of his books (Looking for alaska, paper towns, an abundance of katharines, and then a variaton in tfios by making august the manie pixie boy).

Sure, you probably love dyed hair or pixie crowns or using random quotes, like any typical teen. But do you only exist to fulfill some bland, white guy's void? If not, you are not a manic pixie dream girl. And that's a pretty good thing.

No no you're much more than an archetype, you're real. Putting labels on ourself is easy, gives us a feeling of being someone, false feeling that you finally found yourself. Don't try to put a label on yourself, because no label can contain all of the beauty and depth that human personality has.

I blame the "ordinary guy" for his misconception. Talk about him more.

Okay but this sounds just like the poem Manic Pixie Dream Girl?

Manic pixie girl has no backstory, she is shallow, she is made up to accompany the main character. Don't compare her to other characters who have history carved in their personality. Don't be like all the men who thought "women were ideas". Alaska wasn't a manic pixie girl, Summer wasn't a manic pixie girl, Clementine wasn't a manic pixie girl. It's annoying to see this word get used so much, in the wrong way.

Tom thinks that summer is one and because we see her only as he sees her we think so. But she is not one. That makes the movie much better than I thought it would be. It stands the trope on its head and sees the consequences.

Yes, Alaska does smoke. Yes, she's white and pretty and fucked up. Yes, she flirts, yes, she likes pretentious books. Yes, she goes all out and pulls pranks and sneaks in alcohol. Yes, she (maybe) kills herself. But she does all of this with and *without* Pudge. She does not do any of this for him. She barely looks at him twice even though he thinks he is the center of the world. Yes, he learns to appreciate life after her death. But he also learns that he did not know Alaska at all, that she was just a person and he didn't mean to her as much as he thought he did. He was far smaller in her eyes than he thought he was. That is why I refuse to call Alaska a Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
