I am. moderately afraid that I'm going to get hate on this but. here we go.
Barry is fucking perfect autism representation. I don't know if there's anything confirming that he is autistic but like. Oh my gosh.
He doesn't feel like certain characters where it's just stereotypes and that's the whole character. There's not a single stereotype about him. He doesn't scream "autism" just because he's not that type of character. He's not like extremely smart, or stupid-- he's intelligent, but he's not like. that kind of trope certain shows do where people with autism are just really smart. The way he emotes is perfect. I wish I had my specific examples but like... man.
It's so good. It makes me so happy. It also hurts me because Kris treats him poorly and tries to get him to be different because of his autistic traits. It's just. man...
like that one scene where they're talking about the cargo-- lemme just put in the dialogue and insert images
Tumblr media
Kris: This is it. Do you know what this means?
Tumblr media
Barry: Yeah. You've told me.
Tumblr media
Kris: then why do you still seem not to get it? We did this together, for once you should be proud-- I'm letting you be proud!
Tumblr media
Barry: I'm... proud.
[Kris ruffles Barry's hair]

Kris is imposing what she wants Barry to feel on him. She's letting him be proud. She doesn't get why he "doesn't understand". Barry seems to just want to get the conversation over with/he doesn't know why he doesn't understand either (why he doesn't feel the things Kris wants him to feel-- what he "should" feel. Why he doesn't feel the "normal" things). The way he forces himself to say that he's proud is just... perfect voice acting. They got such a perfect voice actor for Barry. But back to this scene-- she ruffles his hair, something that to her means something good, but Barry CLEARLY doesn't like it. He tenses and rubs his head afterwards. She's trying to make him what she wants. Make him feel what she wants him to feel and praise him the way she thinks praise should be received. The only way she considers Barry being different both feelings wise and how he wants praise is her wanting to change those things to what she wants.
there was also this one scene, the scene where Kris and Barry are interacting for the last time, and the shot it relatively simple. just a shot of his face. Zoomed in. In a show like scavengers reign that has so many interesting shots that are so clearly intentional you know that has to be intentional. And what I loved about it is that sometimes autistic people have difficulty emoting or when they do emote it's subtle. And that scene picks on the subtle changes in his expression while he's talking to really show how he's feeling in the moment. That's so cool. Idk how to make a gif and i don't have a link to a video of it but it's in the beginning of episode 12 if anyone wants to see what I'm talking about :)
anyways,, yeah. I hope that this is taken well? I have other thoughts on him as well but this was just something that was right at the front of my mind after finishing

The foils of Azi's companions as a robot who feels and has empathy versus a group of humans who are cold and calloused and robotic. I'm losing my mind scavengers reign is so good

I want Kris to directly meet Hollow. I don't exactly want Kris to die (like whatever happens happens) but if she lives through experiencing Hollow, I just want her to apologize to Azi about the whole fear thing. Or say something apologetic lol. Bc Hollow is a scary creature being lol. I just want Kris to say, "you know what. Valid fear," to Azi lol

A family isn't always you, your survivalist mom and your supportive dad. Sometimes a family is you, your three moms, your robot/plant sibling and your trash uncle.

i hope kris scavengers reign has to live with her mistakes, the way kamen does. i hope her ordeal has left her weak and unable to survive without relying on others. i hope she comes back in season 2, changed and haunted by her experience!!

You know something I really enjoy with Scavengers Reign is how Kris is not vindicated for her unwillingness to help others. She plays up this view that she and her crew are these rugged survivors who only make it by taking care of themselves and nobody else even when they're the ones coming with a full ship and ability to safely exit the planet.
This in contrasted with characters like Azi and Ursula who, deposited the dire situation still find curiosity about the world around them and never lose their empathy and willingness to take care of others. Even Sam, thr survival-focused pragmatist doesn't close himself to caring about others. In fact it is his whole motivation for being so driven to survive. He wants to save his crew.
Kris chooses to be selfish and acts like it's binary choice between self-preservation and helping others and all these other characters show that you do not have to sacrifice care and wonder and humanness for the sake of survival. You can do what it takes to survive while also trying to help others when the chance arises.
Characters who actually gave a shit about others got to come out of the situation with community and mutual support while Kris is a wasting husk taken by the Space Vatican.

God y'know what I love. Scavengers reign not having them bullshit somehow stopping Kris. She took off. They're stuck on the planet for a while until they can figure out how to make another spaceship and it sucks.
But that doesn't mean it's hopeless. The planet is not evil. The planet is dangerous because nature is dangerous. Things are bad but they're alive. They're alive and there's hope as long as they keep going. They have a community, there's so much *life* on this planet. There's so much love that last shot. Ursula keeping her memento of Sam and grieving but making an entire garden and tending to it and drawing. Azi being *happy*, Levi completely at home with nature. Azi and May....
And Kamen. He doesn't have a cathartic villains death. He doesn't get that escape he tried to take. He has to live with his fuck up and people rightfully distrusting and hating him. He isn't punished with death. He's punished by having to be a better person. And he's given the chance to be better. Even if he doesn't want to. I think he's a bad person but I don't think he's irredeemable. Maybe he'll grow and change. Maybe he'll become a better person. Maybe it'll finally be closure for him.
This ending is fucking fantastic. No half assed "and then they stopped Kris." Instead: they stuck together and learned to live with the life they were given, while Kris rotted alone because she was too scared to care about other people.
This is a fucking amazing show.

i need to be a hater on main about scavenger's reign or i will explode. i cannot be alone in this.
now that it's being moved to netflix and people are talking about it again, all i'm seeing is glowing praise and absolutely no criticism of the writing. i will gladly agree with anyone that it's visually stunning. like, a+ in that regard no argument. great looking show, and the worldbuilding of the planet vesta is super cool and clearly considered. i like those parts! but that seems to be all anybody is responding to when they praise it.
the character writing is fucking ridiculous. i could point at any of them individually and go "what the fuck is this" but it's been months since i watched it and i don't like arguing a point i can't clearly remember. but it was the most egregious around ursula so i'm going to focus on her. her character seems to exist just to cause problems for no reason, to the point where she's also the only character we get no backstory on. we never see her in flashbacks on the ship, never learn what she did for it or why she was there, nothing about her at all. she is the only one.
and she is the #1 source of shattering my suspension of disbelief. you cannot tell me that she and sam were surviving together for a month on this incredibly hostile planet, working together every day to call the ship down, to figure out how the world worked and what was dangerous and what they could use.... and then tell me she would turn around and treat him the way she does.
spoilers below the cut
she is so hostile toward him all the time for no reason. she wanders off to go look at a weird plant in the middle of a bramble that crushes you if you don't get out the right way, leaving sam alone on the outside with no idea what she's doing or where she is or if she's alive. and when she comes out and he is VERY REASONABLY upset that she did that and isn't interested in hearing about the thing she saw, SHE gets mad at him and says she doesn't need him.
YOU DONT NEED HIM? THE GUY WHO HELPED YOU SURVIVE THIS ENTIRE TIME? THE ONLY OTHER LIVING HUMAN ON THE PLANET AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, WHO IS THE ONE WHO KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE GOING, AND HAS THE CREDENTIALS TO GET YOU INTO THE SHIP? you have been alone with him for a MONTH, he is your ONLY HUMAN COMPANION, and you think you DON'T NEED HIM?? BECAUSE HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU IN A LOUD WAY?
this could be explainable if there was any real tension between them, or if we're given any reason to believe she actually could survive without him, but there isn't! she fucks up with the spores in the very first episode and would absolutely die if she was alone. sam is never anything but a good leader to her and keeps trying to look out for her, and any time he's "wrong" it's because he showed reasonable caution about the fuckplanet. he gets hurt by the egg parasite because he didn't want to climb into a giant animal's egg sac. reasonable thing to not want to do! when he and ursula get into that argument about her disappearing on him, he gets hauled off by the weird emu for the dramatic irony. because he was upset his only companion in the world disappeared. he never does anything wrong. it's never his actual character flaws that he gets punished for, it's only ursula's ~trusting your instincts~ shit that ever gets him hurt. she is ultimately responsible for his death but the show never acts like it.
so much of the show seemed to be drama for drama's sake. do not get me fucking started on kamen's creature. what was that thing's fucking problem. what was kris' fucking problem?
if i have to ask 'what is their PROBLEM' at every other character's choices, your writing is not good.
