That вЂњtrueвЂќ reading of the movie and its real вЂњvillainвЂќ is now popular enough to become a meme: Meanwhile, Nate (Adrian Grenier), AndyвЂ™s (Hathaway) put-upon potato boyfriend that weвЂ™re expected to love, is an unsupportive mope who stifles his girlfriendвЂ™s career - the true villain of the story. With each rewatch of that movie, it becomes clearer that the вЂњdevilвЂќ Miranda Priestly (Streep), the demanding editor of Runway, wants only the best for the magazine. ThereвЂ™s also a different but equally powerful type of satisfaction derived from watching something that doesnвЂ™t quite hold up or, after the zeitgeist has fallen off, reveals a new twist.ДЄ popular example of a rewatch revelation is The Devil Wears Prada, the 2006 movie with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. And we continue watching our old favorite shows and films because they make us feel good. Rewatching movies and television shows is a national pastime, aided by streaming. But looking back, both of these provocative programs seemed to clumsily enforce some of the fashion and entertainment industriesвЂ™ worst traits.ДЄnd if these shows that Tyra staked her reputation and career on havenвЂ™t withstood the test of time, then what about everything else Tyra told us? What happens to TyraвЂ™s own image? How does that hold up? Was Tyra Banks the villain all along? Tyra asserted that she wanted to disrupt the fashion industry that she knew so well (with ANTM, which has run for 24 seasons) and to tackle a range of issues that were important to her (with The Tyra Banks Show, which ran from 2005 to 2011). The common factor in these shows, beyond their problematic content, is the woman at the helm. At worst, they perpetuated toxicity, unhealthy body image, and befuddling understandings of race and sexuality. TyraвЂ™s surge in search interest was the result of people pointing out how, in hindsight, AmericaвЂ™s Next Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show were silly, strange, and embarrassing, at best. Yet the iconic Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model, reality competition genre pioneer, and daytime talk show host had not been part of any вЂњnewвЂќ news.

This week, вЂњTyraвЂќ became one of TwitterвЂ™s top trending topics.

One, the story of an underdog supermodel-turned-fairy godmother, who helps young women follow their modeling dreams the other, the story of a tyrant disguised in the lingerie of a VictoriaвЂ™s Secret Angel.ДЄnd only one of these narratives will go on to be the story of one of AmericaвЂ™s all-time top models.ДЄ swirling combination of quarantine boredom, Amazon PrimeвЂ™s streaming catalog, and the internetвЂ™s power to bring us closer together has turned the blazing division between which of these two storylines could be the truth behind Tyra Banks into a phenomenon for all of us - anyone online, not just fans of her TV shows - to witness. Two beautiful Tyra Banks narratives stand before me, all over my Twitter timeline.
