In the Wake TV Producer Shayna keeps it 💯🏾 about Rains Over Babel—and yes, we're talking about La Flaca, the Grim Reaper who is absolutely, undeniably HOT. Forget everything you thought you knew about Death: this version is sexy, commanding, and stealing every scene she's in.
When Death is the Main Attraction: Shayna doesn't hold back in this conversation—La Flaca, the city's Grim Reaper presiding over Babel's purgatory dive bar, brings a level of sensuality and magnetism that flips the script on how we typically see Death portrayed in cinema. In a film already bursting with vibrant characters, queer joy, and Colombian steampunk aesthetics, it's the Grim Reaper's charisma and undeniable sex appeal that has Shayna (and likely audiences) completely captivated.
Why This Matters: Representation isn't just about who gets to be the hero—it's also about who gets to be desirable, powerful, and magnetic. By making Death a sexy, complex character rather than a faceless figure of fear, Rains Over Babel subverts expectations and creates space for attraction and power to exist outside traditional Western beauty standards. Shayna's unfiltered reaction reminds us that sometimes the most radical thing a film can do is make us want to gamble our souls just to spend time with the Grim Reaper.
Watch the full conversation as Shayna gushes over La Flaca's undeniable presence and why Rains Over Babel proves that even Death can be a whole mood.
