TGIF

TGIF Is a parody of the film Friday the 13th, this piece displays how the tropes The Final Girl and The Slasher are inherently sexual in nature and reverses them by making Jason a woman and giving her a Final Boy. Final Girls are put through the ringer throughout the whole film, most often just narrowly avoiding death, however they always reign victorious. Despite the fact the Final Girl beats the Big Bad, there is an air to this trope that feels infantilizing and objectifying of her, almost like it was such an amazing feat because she is so small and delicate. How could she ever manage to defeat such a big, mean, man? Switching the Slasher to a strong female character flips this negative stereotype on its head by making her the main physical threat.
