How Nightmare Be4 Xmas is at its core a story about the male ego & tran”seasional” appropriation!
I figure with my fav Holiday coming up I could give my readers a few trick or treat hot takes from a goth terf prospect!
Now I have to say the Craft is actually my all time fav movie period, but for a while NBXMAS came close as I’m such a sucker for Halloween sing a longs & the soundtrack/ claymation animation/ style of Tim Burton just made this my all time fav Disney movie EZ. Fuck I still find it catchy as all hell & a most watch on my 12 days of Halloween watch list, but since becoming more Radfem informed my analysis of the whole thing pretty much killed my love of Jack ( who I used to relate myself to as a drag king, but now find to be a total Jack Ass abuser similar to the troons) . Think a troon whose wife just got knocked up as a metaphor for Santa, but let me explain.
Ok the opening of the movie is an intro for Jack who basically his whole town & the movie revolves around. He is the all mighty embodiment of the male ego in terms of Halloween town. He gets all the fame and praise, everyone around him centers him & he selfishly gets to boss around anyone & everyone, but all of this still isn’t enough cuz he is bored of his position of ultimate power & privilege. Being a literal terror that is let loose to scare women & children just isn’t enough for this man.
At the end of the day all this self centered prick thinks about is “poor Jack” is bored being king of his universe. Oh boo hoo sounds like every red pill dude bro Mra or troon ever cuz given everything it’s never enough what they want is to take from others in Jacks case Santa & Christmas land, but for men it’s women & our space/ bodies etc etc.
So Jacks journey starts by realizing that his world isn’t the only 1 in the universe & there’s a place where there’s love & warm that he just doesn’t understand. For sake of my analysis I’m gonna compare this to a man when his wife is pregnant, cuz that might be the number one trooning time as it’s 1 thing men can’t do & are Jealous of also why women are oppressed the whole nine yards. So there’s this love and joy that just isn’t anything like Jacks world of fear & gross slimy stuff that he desperately wants to understand, but he can’t even get over his own ego to listen to the voice of reason Sally who really loves this man that simply uses his position of power to gaslight & ignore her, but force her & every1 else in Halloween town to go ago with his fetish for taking over Xmas.
Notice Jack doesn’t want Halloween town to make their own version of Xmas no he literally has to kidnap Santa, scare children, & steal the whole holiday so that he can declare everything magical about it his. This is every transbain on a lesbian dating app calling actual lesbians bigots for not wanting to fuck them cuz Jack only cares about Jack & what he wants Santa, children, Xmas town -even his own people who cares as long as he wears the costume he feels entitlement to it all.
& in typical troon fashion how does Jack get the support of his town to change everything about their lives to cater to this, well by gaslighting everyone redefining what Santa & Xmas is really about even though he knows he is clueless & lying to them.
Much the way troons steal the terms of woman & man to fit their agenda & get others to support their hostile takeover.
I know NBXMAS is stole to us as some sort of lesson/love story about self acceptance cuz in the end Sally’s warnings to Jack come true & they sail off into the moon lite night together Jack reclaiming Halloween & allowing Santa to takeback Xmas for sake of the children which is a million times better then the reality of troons who simply will die & kill children with them for sake of their delusions.
However the fact is Jack is a narcissist who groomed and used every1 else around him. He doesn’t love Sally who really was a victim of Stockholm that just escaped one abuser to become a handmaiden for the next.
The one reason Jack changed his mind was cuz Xmas land fired back & forced him to quit playing Santa by deadly force—which btw is the answer for what society needs to do when the troons or any insane selfish group of destructive groomer/abusers get out of hand putting the lives of children in danger for the sake of their own fetish. Be it dressing up like women or pretending to be Santa in order to break into houses & fill them with poisonous snakes.
That said this the 1st in my series of Halloween trick of treat hot takes. Hope you have enjoyed and that you never look at NBXMAS the same way ever again, cuz it’s more psychological horror then it is a just fun holiday movie!
I have never seen that movie and now I never will. Great rundown! 👻 I truly feel like I know it now.🙂
