  • From my experience,I personally agree with that sentiment. A lot of parents and parents to be put a lot on their kids that doesn’t need to be there, many don’t understand how much work it will be, and a lot put in much less work than they should.

    It sounds like you are or would be an engaged parent to know it’s a lot of work to raise a little individual, but there are many people from many backgrounds.

    I love punishing low wage workers while making statements on how the system should change.

    “Oh, you thought you could afford to take a day off this week to help an elderly parent make it to a doctor appointment? Nah, get fucked. You can’t afford to that and buy groceries.”




  • Look, I’m not going to, and I dont want to, convince you to like it. And you wont convince me to not like it. It’s art, it’s subjective. That’s okay.

    However, If you compare it to other media popular for it’s target audience, it’s very much in line with the attitude and humor. Television shows like Fleabag and Insecure, books like Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation or Raven Leilani’s Luster. If you are enjoying or following this movement in art, and are a part of that conversation, you would probably think it’s good, funny, interesting.

    Look it’s not for you, why isn’t that okay? Does everything I’m the mcu need to be for you, or can the space be big enough for others?


  • I disagree that her character wasn’t showing growth. Idk what you think she should have grown towards, but she was making decisions (good and bad, like humans do) and living with those consequences. It feels like there was a bigger arch they were building towards that we just didn’t get to yet.

    But I get that part of it is objective. For me and my experience, I would say she was showing growth.

    This is where the conversation of “misogyny” comes in. Its not for you, so its “bad.” It’s okay that the humor wasn’t for you. Not everything is for me, and not everything has to be for you. There is plenty of media that isn’t for me that I still would say is objectively good, even if I’d never put it on purposefully.

    I think that show was trying to bring in people that were not the mcu normal demographic. For someone whose hunor and tatses are a little different. I watched that show with friends that aren’t into marvel at all and enjoyed it.

    But maybe there were too few like me whose ven diagram of intrest and experience converged where that show was trying to live.


  • I didn’t think it was bad at all. I think some people just didn’t like the humor. I enjoyed the whole season. To me, the storytelling was solid: the pacing was good, charachters were fleshed out with solid motivations, and the humor was topical and stemmed from the charachters motivations. I see how it can feel out of place from the rest of disneys marvel, but, tbh, I feel like it was just a lot of misogyny. It was girl humor so it was deemed lesser, silly, not as important as the rest of the mcu.
