Tiny and blonde like me, but so much braver, when I was 11-years-old, Zenon was everything I wanted to be. Zenon’s future sparkles with color she’s brazen, always fighting out in the open, rarely skulking in the dark. Zenon was smart and passionate, but more idealistic, hopeful, and fun than the YA heroines grimily muscling their way through their post apocalyptic wastelands. The space station echoes with their screams: MICROBE’S COMING.Īnd who can blame them for bouncing off the metal walls? With his frosted tips and sexy accent, Proto Zoa is a Teen Heartthrob major. Not a giant screen performance, not a hologram, they’re appearing in their lumnarious heart-fluttering flesh! Zenon: Microbe is coming here, for the first rock concert in space. Zenon: When I tell you the real reason I squeaked, you’re gonna nova. Instead of freaking out, Zenon gets “flared up” (as in solar flares), good things are “major,” bad things are “minor,” and she wishes her mother a “morning glorious.” She also has a stellar catch phrase:Įarly in the movie, Zenon exchanges the following words with her BF Nebula: In her matching separates, Zenon looks like a blonde baby Charli XCX (though it’s Chari who bites Zenon’s style).ĭialogue by screenwriter Stu Krieger (based on a book by Marilyn Sadler and Roger Bollen) is as full of original, delicious slang as Amy Heckerling’s is for Clueless. She learns about the political viewpoints of President Chelsea Clinton from her teacher (who commutes via hologram) and uses a video chatting device that looks like a lovechild of a sidekick and an iPhone. Zenon Kar, the child of scientists, grew up on a space station orbiting earth. Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century exists in Christopher Nolan’s wet dream of a world, where the magic and urgency never went out of space travel, and the cosmos has so captured the American imagination that the year’s most popular names include gems like Nebula and Proto Zoa. How much pop did they produce? Two great pop hits and one three minute garbage nightmare. “Super Nova Girl” and “The Galaxy is Ours” are also clearly sung by the same vocalist. However, nowhere in the credits sequence do they acknowledge “Proto Zoa vocals.” Music and lyrics for “Super Nova Girl” are by Kristian Rex and Sabelle Braer. Here are the Zenon stats.ĭid they sing? I’m not sure actually! In the first two movies, Proto Zoa was played by Phillip Rhys, who doesn’t seem to have any other singing roles on his IMDb resume. If you feel you must complete the journey, click here to watch the concert performance of “Out of this World” but don’t say I didn’t warn you.Īlright, now that we’ve taken out the trash, all that’s left to do now is to take stock of where we’ve been. I refuse to post the song from Zenon: Z3 because it’s terrible and they recast Proto Zoa with someone who appears to play guitar (ugh). Worthy of Zenon and her stellarnarious face. Though it doesn’t reach the dizzying heights of “Supernova Girl,”The Galaxy is Ours” is another earworm, worthy of dancing in the mirror and singing in the shower. The galaxy is theirs.ĭuring his sabbatical, Proto Zoa seems to have also refused to practice (/learn to play) his guitar or learn any new dance moves - but it doesn’t matter! He wouldn’t be our same darling Proto Zoa if he wasn’t doing his weird marching-across-the-stage-with-his-guitar dance sequence. For all Zenon’s fangirl flailing, their relationship is a sexless meeting of the minds, of one star recognizing another of his own. Only you can see right through, and make it seem so clear. Hiding out all alone, wrapped up in my fear. This movie shifts the franchise into the realm of the supernatural when Zenon encounters a group of aliens who, rightly, are super into Microbe’s hit single “Super Nova Girl.” Zenon wants to connect the aliens with their favorite pop star from earth, so she spends most of the movie searching for Proto Zoa who is suffering from intense writers block and (instead of just drinking a Red Bull and powering through it) has gone into hiding.Īgain, the movie ends on a concert, with Microbe performing their brand new song, written by Proto Zoa for Zenon as a thank you for reigniting his creative fires. Unfortunately in this follow-up, the costume designs have taken a nose dive, Nebula has been recast, and Proto Zoa’s hair got more boring.
