ParaNorman as a film definitely uses supernatural abilities to thematically discuss how society treats those different than the white, heterosexual, traditionally masculine, neurotypical \\\"norm,\\\" but the entry after the \\\"muddled\\\" part feels like a leap and reads like EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory, and I was under the impression that meant it belonged as a WMG entry. Should it be removed? Can it be edited to fit better with the Fridge entry style? I\\\'m making a comment here to discuss it because I don\\\'t want to start an edit war over someone\\\'s else\\\'s Fridge entry.

(Edit: Also, \\\"the queer coded message gets muddled however when the movie doesn\\\'t really punish the town for their irrational fears\\\" So the queer-coded message would have been clearer and stronger if the queer-coded people got to \\\"punish the town for their irrational fears\\\"??? [[UnfortunateImplications Um.]] Like Aggie? Wasn\\\'t a major point of the movie the fact that her \\\"punishing the town for their irrational fears\\\" didn\\\'t solve anything? Because it actually further convinced the surviving people in the town 300 years ago that she really was an evil witch???? Not to mention the current people in the present, whose town she struck with lightning until most of it was on fire. Can\\\'t imagine they\\\'re gonna be too open to the idea that the cackling and shrieking cloud-face shooting lighting at them from the sky wasn\\\'t an evil witch after that).

Can someone tell me if there\'s a consensus on whether entries like the queer reading entry fit better on Fridge pages or with the WMG page? The first part of the entry about coding and its implications I could understand being here, but the second part about how muddled the message is kinda seems to defeat the entry\'s own assertion that it belongs on the Fridge page, because it admits it doesn\'t align with the rest of the movie. It just... doesn\'t seem to fit at that point.

ParaNorman absolutely does use supernatural abilities to thematically discuss how society treats those different than the norm, but specifying a queer reading doesn\'t exactly... What I\'m saying is, the entry reads like EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory, and I was under the impression that meant it belonged as a WMG entry unless had a lot of solid evidence. Should it be removed? I\'m making a comment here to discuss it because I don\'t want to start an edit war over someone\'s personal theory.

References to that miniseries should probably be kept to a minimum, but only because it\\\'s a separate work from \\\'\\\'Watchmen\\\'\\\', and they tell two different stories. But they shouldn\\\'t be \\\"forbidden\\\" by royal decree just because the original creators (and many fans) don\\\'t consider it canon. My personal feelings on \\\'\\\'Doomsday Clock\\\'\\\' notwithstanding, it\\\'s still an officially licensed follow-up, not a fanfic. Plenty of \\\'\\\'Franchise/StarWars\\\'\\\' fans don\\\'t consider \\\'\\\'Film/TheForceAwakens\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'Film/TheLastJedi\\\'\\\' canon for personal reasons, but that\\\'s no reason for explicitly forbidding references to those films on \\\'\\\'Star Wars\\\'\\\' pages.
