Is this an excuse to ramble about Nero and Angelo’s relationship for over 30 minutes? Yes. I have no regrets folks, this was super self-indulgent, I'll be surprised if anyone even watches this.
The first part of the video is on gay subtext of old Hollywood films, particularly the cigarettes as a symbol of queer subtext. But the rest of the video is a modern interpretation of what overseas viewers can interpret as queer subtext and romance tropes which could be seen in the show itself.
Also, this is MY PERSONAL interpretation, you can disagree with me that this isn't queer subtext, but I wanted to delve into the possibility that the creators unintentionally created a forbidden romance between Nero and Angelo since many scenes for me, personally, I interpreted them as romantic. Different audience members interpret media differently folks!
