In a fun twist, as McClain noted, since Fischer was known to be dismissive of female chess players and once claimed they were less intelligent than men, "Making Beth recall a female Fischer may have been a sneaky, and wonderful, way to send up that assessment."
So they "owned" Bobby Fischer and his wholly accurate assessment of female chess players by grafting his skill and personality onto a fictional female chess prodigy who is more accomplished than any real female player in history? That'll show him, eh?
This is just so painfully "Netflix".
It's already happening that way today. For people who grew up in the 90s or 2000s, think about how many shows had the whole "girls can be as good as boys" with sports stories there were. It might not be the supremacy that TheImpossible1 is talking about (yet), but it is a point for why there's a point to this. I'd hate to say it, but the "base" of woke culture has been brewing in the US for many years now.
Show them http://boysvswomen.com/#/ and ask them to explain what is going on. High school age American boys would have swept the women's 100 M dash in the 2016 Olympics.
And by "swept" I mean all eight spots, not just the medals. And that's just American boys vs. the women of the entire world.
You forgot the key point - "girls can be as good as boys... except in all the ways girls are better!"
They've been indoctrinating us with this crap for decades now.
"Anything you can do, I can do better"
Everything has to be a damn competition.
You know what I miss? Actual variety shows.
