But also? What anime is this? I did not expect the kwamis to have a different form. And I especially did not expect Plagg and Tikki to be halves of one kwami. But it makes perfect sense now. They’re quite literally each other’s other half. And I’m glad they stay adorable for most of the show. Their true forms are a little creepy.
I think it’s important to acknowledge sometimes people are just assholes because they want to be, not because life screwed them over.
Your story can’t be entirely high stakes and main battles. Sometimes, you need a little pure stupidity within a low stakes crisis.
Making a sequel of an iconic family movie over a decade later is asking for criticism. Disenchanted will never be treated as nicely as the original. It’s the unfortunate part of being a die hard hard, it’s hard to sometimes turn that loyalty off and just enjoy a movie for what it is.
I found that after the pure disappointment that was the first season, I actually didn’t mind the second season. Sure, there was quite a few instances of badly written dialogue, the worldbuilding was lacking and I still prefer the original but once you forget the original and view this as just another trashy teen fantasy drama, it’s not the worst. It’s actually quite engaging at times.
Marvel is evolving, whether fans want it or not. Phase 4 of the MCU is by far its most diverse collection of stories present (both in terms of the characters and the range of genres). In order to remain an MCU fan, one must let go of preconceived ideas of what a superhero should be.
One’s skin colour does not determine how good of a writer they are. But one’s experiences do.
We love Wanda because we can relate to her. I, myself, suffer from Major Depressive Disorder and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I’m lucky enough to have access to therapy and a group of people who love and support me, Wanda isn’t. So while her actions are morally corrupt, her intentions are pure. She is a good person who lost control of herself because of her grief. That’s something I can personally relate to.
The original Winx Club worked because it knew that diversity and feminist messages are things you show, not things you tell. The main cast were filled with strong female characters and half of them were women of colour.
I do think WandaVision is going to be a good show. The premise is set up well. The acting is good. The costumes are wonderful. The humour is top notch. It just takes time for things to start rolling. And if you are willing to wait for the main conflict to be established, I think you’ll enjoy WandaVision. So yeah, I definitely recommend you find a way to watch the show.
