I FINISHED TNG!

please clap.

i never actually did an update on my thoughts post since season 3, so i figured before i watched the movies i'll do a summary of my thoughts on the show.

first off it apparently took me over a year to finish it since i started in july of 2022, and it's now august of 2023. this isn't because i didn't like it or anything, i just kept doing other stuff and unlike with tos, i wasn't watching it WITH someone, so i wasn't on a schedule of any kind. however i did enjoy the show, i grew to like the characters quite a lot and i was invested in their stories. it was definitely a different vibe to tos, while tos is quite episodic, campy, and a bit dated, tng is less campy, a bit less episodic, and slightly less dated lol. it did kind of annoy me that we would start to get these longer arcing plots and then they would be abandoned or forgotten. for example at the beginning of the show it seemed like riker and troi were going to have a lot more "drama" in the show but nothing really happened with them, and then at the very end of the show they put her with worf and don't really explore that fully. i don't just mean romantic pairings but that's an example of what i mean. there was also just a general quality difference in episodes, maybe it was more noticeable here than in tos since tng was longer, but towards the end of the show in particular we got really good episodes followed by quite shit ones. by the time the show ended i didn't really feel like it was ready to end, if that makes sense. i feel like it was always toeing the line between being episodic and being a show with long plots. in general -- was fun. i had a good time. i've forgotten a lot from the beginning but oh well.

here i'll give my thoughts on the characters since that's what i used to do. in no particular order:

picard: i really don't have many strong opinions about him, some episodes he definitely was more entertaining than others. i think i would have liked to see him fail more often because generally he seems too capable at times. i do enjoy the rare moments where he loosens up. despite the longer screentime he had i weirdly feel like he has less depth than kirk? let me know if this is a crazy take but i don't feel like picard is a particularly complicated man, he doesn't seem like he has a lot of inner turmoil or conflict about things, meanwhile kirk is going through it at all times. not to constantly compare the two but. well, i just did

troi: the most beautiful woman in the world i'm such a whore when i look at her. when she got a real uniform i whooped and hollered and when she become a COMMANDER bitch?!?!?! i really do wish they did more with her character she had sooooooo much potential with being half-betazed and they never really give it the exploration it deserves, they use it when its convenient and forget when it isn't. i feel like if we had gotten one more season she could have really shined but they were like i know let's spend the last couple of episodes we have with her making her date worf i guess. also why did they give her mom so much trauma. that wasn't nice.

worf: i grew to like him more and more as the show went on, like whenever i would realize the episode i was watching was going to be a worf-focused episode i would get excited. he's one of those unintentionally funny characters which makes him entertaining, but i also find it interesting seeing the way he balances his klingon heritage with his role as a starfleet officer. i love how much he loves being a klingon, and how he always wants to teach other people about it and let them, in turn, learn more about him. he cares deeply and he tries hard even if he doesn't get it right. i know he's in ds9 so i'm happy to see more of him when i finally get to that

riker: we didn't get enough of him tbh. it felt like there would be multiple season gaps between his solo episodes. like for someone who is the first officer he didn't feel very relevant to the show, they stopped caring about his character after a while. he would have maybe a small arc in certain episodes but he was mostly there because he had to be? maybe the sporadic way i watched is effecting my memory on this. but i really like him, i think he's funny and i like his rogue tendencies.

geordi: we also didn't get enough of geordi. i love him but i feel like i barely know anything about him. but i love how genuinely kind and caring he is, and he's also in the scotty position of "the ship would fall apart without him" i feel like every episode picard would be like geordi fix this! help! also i wish he would have kissed the android.

data: hey it's the android. i love this dude. however i am getting a little overexposed to the dude and i know the movies are only going to continue that. idk why by s6-7 they were like "we're out of ideas for data. what if he liked killing and hurt his crewmates and was maybe evil" which is so lazy. like it would all somehow get resolved by the end and everyone would just move on like data wasn't a genocide machine two minutes ago. the finale reminded me of the way data used to be, where he would constantly ask people questions and say obvious things, and i realized i really missed that. he has dreams and shit now he's not really as compelling. he's been a human to me from day 1 so they didn't need to do all that. however brent spiner continues to be very funny.

beverly: um she certainly was there. don't get me wrong i like her but i feel like i never had any strong attachment to her. she didn't get many solo episodes and the last one i can remember (with the fucking. ghost?) was not good. yeah i can't really think of anything else to say. she's fine.

wesley: ok i know he like left the show after a certain point but i would be remiss to mention again that his arc did not end in a good way and he should get to take a NAP why does he have to keep being SO SPECIAL. also why does anyone ever hate this kid he was like 12 he literally was so non offensive to the show. but i did really like every time he came back after wil wheaton left i feel like wesley brings a new perspective to the show that is needed.

honorable mention ro laren: she's my icon right now so i feel like i have to mention her. i would have loved to see more of her in the show, i found her character really compelling and complex. i liked how she was always a bit of a bitch. i'm on the fence of how i feel about her arc ending, i feel like the episode with geordi and the one where she was turned into a kid both were made to help her feel more like the enterprise could be a home for her. they didn't give me much reason to believe otherwise? i don't care about her leaving, i liked that both her and wesley left starfleet even if the show didn't have the time or capacity to explore it, but i didn't fully believe her reasoning. but i loved every time she was there.

i have probably forgotten. many things. i was in the sun all day and maybe have heat exhaustion. but i'm starting generations in like 10 minutes and i realized i needed to make this post before i watched it. thank you for coming along on this year-long journey of me watching tng. we did it boys

#when i finish the movies i'll be able to follow people who post tng stuff #then i can add my thoughts to those posts as they come up #for now have the brain soup #tng lb #tng #sam's thots

tell me your pip headcanons and/or clyde :3333

Why not both?

For Pip:

Sexuality Headcanon: Gay, no doubt about it. Idk where else to put this but an interesting tidbit is that in the 19th century left-handedness was a sign of homosexuality, and Pip uses his left hand as his dominant hand a lot in the show, so make of it what you will.

Gender Headcanon: Cis, never really thought about it tbh.

A ship I have with said character: Bip, my soon-to-be 9 year old OTP, aka Butters x Pip. I have a lot to say about this ship but I'll make it brief. This ship,while seemingly saccharine on the outside, is extremely bittersweet not only in a meta context(Butters indirectly killed him not only in a meta sense, but also in being the first one to draw attention to Tom Cruise in 200), but in-universe as well, in the sense that even if they get beat up,insulted or abused, they still have each other, but how long until Butters realizes he wouldn't be getting so much mistreatment if he wasn't dating Pip in the first place?How long until Pip lets Butters take his repressed anger out on him because "there's no other way", or maybe he'd let him do anything because he's that desperate for attention, any kind of it?There's just a lot of things you can do with it and you could nurture it into a good ending against all odds or a gritty grimdark ending. Also it'd be funny to see Butters' parents react to seeing him date a more passive version of him.

Besides Bip though,Cartip aka Cartman x Pip is just a very entertaining ship for me, purely because their scenes together have a lot of dom/sub tension to them and also for its comedic value.

A BROTP I have with said character: Pip and Dougie are a good pair and it'd be fun to see what interests they could have in common, but it's super weird that they didn't interact once in Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub, though that's probably because Dougie's kind of a third wheel in that episode. Pip and Stan might be very unlikely and Stan wouldn't want it for the life of him but I can see it as a one-sided thing.

A NOTP I have with said character: I really don't have one I think?

A random headcanon: His parents were killed in a home invasion by a frenchman, which is why anything french related is a trigger and why he hates french people so much, to him they took away his one chance at having a decent life, though he doesn't remember that his own parents hated him too.Also it'd be super funny if he was a Barbra Streisand fan so yeah.

General Opinion over said character: Pip's tied with Butters(my opinion on him is pretty complicated though) and Dogpoo as my favorite characters, so there's a lot to unpack here. He's a repressed Victiorian orphan child put into an uninhibited 90s setting, someone whose purpose is to be really cringe and annoying,but on the other hand the cringiness is what makes the gimmick with him funny, how deep can the cringe go and how much will his abuse escalate, and what does he truly think about it?(tbh this entire gimmick with him would most likely culminate in death so that was pretty obvious in hindsight)At the same time there's a sense of pity or worriedness about him as well,and it's really nice when he actually has friends who like him back in Butters and Dougie. In terms of his death it's so inconsequential and blink and you'll miss it that I normally don't think about it much when analyzing him, but ig it's interesting to think about where he'd go after dying?(the obvious fanon answer would be Hell, but Heaven was recruiting more people in season 9, but also his death was unnatural so maybe Limbo?)

Now onto Clyde:

Sexuality Headcanon: I'd say Bi but knowing Clyde he'd label himself as Questioning or Heteroflexible for a very long time.

Gender Headcanon: I view him as cis though maybe he'd question his gender identity too?I could see that but can't pinpoint exactly what he'd question himself as, maybe agender idk.

A ship I have with said character: Cryde, I'm really a sucker for "doppleganger" ships so this one fits the bill, but also if you look deeper into it you'd see that amidst the superficial similarities they have a lot of differences too. Also I really just love the bro vibe they'd give even after they'd start dating, they seem like they'd just be super chill together and wouldn't have many worries about big arguments. I think both of them could also benefit from one another?Clyde would let his insecurities go after he sees that Craig has no problem with how he actually is, and Craig'd probably like being with someone who doesn't mind being mundane.

A BROTP I have with said character: Cryde again, for the bro energy that I mentioned above, but also Twyde, they can be conspiracy bros together and talk about how the government wants to control everyone, though Tweek would be on the more supernatural side(like the Underpants Gnomes) while Clyde would go for the more sci-fi side(he didn't believe in supernatural zombies existing but had no problems believing Covid and QAnon conspiracies).

A NOTP I have with said character: Nobody really, at this point idk if I have NOTPs anymore lol, but Tyde when used just for the "Pair the Spades" trope maybe?But that's just how I feel about people doing Pair the Spades in fics in general.

A random headcanon: Even though Clyde is a naturally emotional person, his mom's strictness over rules made him supress said emotions and indirectly made him ashamed of being emotional and not the Cool Popular Guy he wanted to be(that and probably toxic masculinity in general). Because of this, he idolizes Craig, especially his attitude and coolness, and he's his ideal on what the Cool Popular Guy should be, so even though he had his own brand of deadpan and snark before, he started to imitate Craig's mannerisms more in an effort to seem cooler.

General Opinion over said character: Even though he's kinda inconsistent in the show, Clyde's a pretty interesting character to talk about and analyse on, I like him a lot though my interpretation of him is probably more of an Outsider Artist's view on things. For me, he's someone who is more middle of the road academically and socially, not that smart but not that dumb either, and even though he can be easily misled into a fall from grace and said downfalls might cloud his judgement until someone knocks him out of it, he's normally not ill-intentioned. However, he often lets his insecurities and self consciousness get the best of him, so he's at his best when dealing with said issues(Lice Capades is definitely my favorite Clyde episode).

#thanks for the ask <3 #south park #clyde donovan #pip pirrup #pip pirrip #south park meta #south park analysis #sp cryde #cryde #bip #butters x pip #cartip

Episode 11: "we plan and G-d (the new schoolers inability to keep it together) laughs"—Jinx

Amy

not jinx saying they felt abandoned at merge (aka when I left for my roadtrip) and that they were hearing things I was saying (mostly hairie lol from what jinx relayed) but I'm also like huh what did I say lol like the only one who knows anything of worth is raffy tbh like I haven't been online enough to be too messy but I have now today learned that talking to people generally counts as leaking information? Idk but I think jinx's worry was when ppl were asking me who I was close to I wasn't saying jinx every time but also I wouldn't? I don't give complete info to ppl I just start talking to but it's actually so funny i was just saying huh I don't think I've lied in this game like sure left out info but I have been so busy it's hard to like sit down and speak to each person in the unique ways for each personality. But *flips hair* I'd love to hear what the people are saying about me.

Trinica

Hairie got an idol 😭 and here I am, once again holding info I feel obligated not to share. Raffy will probably want to vote for Hairie or Arvin next I could tell Hairie if it's him and get him to idol out Zo maybe? We'll see.

I'm lowkey hinting to Brandi and Raffy that Hairie COULD have something just so they're like not overly confident about voting him out. But now they want to pool money to buy merch and I don't necessarily want to give up my money to give Raffy an idol...but I gotta be a team player!

Raffy

I’m so bad at hunting in this idol hunt.

Brandi

JAY WHAT IS GOING ON

Raffy

Now, I’m just fearful that Hairie has an idol which probably means he’s gonna idol me out cause I called him out in the alliance chat. Ah well. You do it to yourself sometimes. My plan now is just to target Arvin and see where that gets me. I don’t have the confidence to flush something out at this moment.

Amy

jinx threw a vote when where ahahahahahaha

anyway earlier I was just messing with hairie 's mind for entertainment talking in circles asking "how do you define leaky 🤔"

entertain me y'all 😭

Brandi

I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT

Amy

I didn't do well on that challenge but I tried lol

Congratulations Brandi and your husband's film degree 👏

Anyhoozits wouldn't it be fun to just stir up some chaos and see if I can survive

Now that Clefford is gone it feels like mayhaps we shall be returning to old yellers vs new kids on the block. With the even split i’m worried nobody will be organized enough to try and shake things up in time for tribal and we’ll end up with a tie vote. Maybe i’ll go start some drama for fun 😘

Trinica

Fuuuuuuuuuh--

I am STUCK in the middle with YOU!!!! You being Hairie, Brandi, and Raffy. My F4 that splintered because Hairie leaked so much then lied to Raffy about it (allegedly).

As we speak, Raffy is telling me to approach Jinx about voting for Zo. BUT Zo is finally talking game with me pre-tribal and wants to save Hairie. Who, incidentally, just got a SECOND idol, only this one is a cursed one and will reveal all the votes at tribal council when played. So he'll probably play it tonight, because Zo told him his name is out there. Which means tonight, I will be EXPOSED if I don't play this so so carefully.

I truly don't know what I'm gonna do tonight. I'm trying to put the vote back on Hairie, because if Zo is willing to work together for a bit, that's a good thing. And if Hairie has a successful idol play, and I need to vote him out, it'll be all the easier to do so later once he has a(n even bigger) target on his back. Plus I'm not ready for him to go now that he's being honest with me again. Then I vote Hairie, he plays his idol, he takes out...idk, Adeline maybe? And we move on from there, with me not looking like I'm playing both sides.

I wasn't trying to play both sides! Why do my allies always turn on each other!

Hairie

Scene It Challenge

This was the challenge I knew I could not win because it's just a tough one for me personally. What I did want out of this was to be in the top half so I can get some coins. AND THAT I DID.

Post Clefford vote

He gave me his snow globe, 35 coins, and some heartfelt words. I was genuinely shocked with the goodies and even more with the final words. Clefford I know you're a good person and I hope we can reconnect post game about this. Love you Kuya <3

Idol hunting

I already managed to snag an idol from the festival stand. So all that's left to do was find the other idol that is not in the marketplace. Today (5th September) got on call with Trinica to catch up and that we were worried no names are out there yet. While doing idol hunting live, I took a risk and it was REWARDING because I FOUND AN IDOL on my 4th hunt attempt. Like woah !!

And right on queue even when Zo (we've both not talk game at this point) came to me and said she's heard my name and wanted to keep me and work together. She also told me she's heard Arvin's name and that her name was also circulating out there. I was shock about her name.

Raffy then told me they've also heard Arvin's, my name and Zo's.

Oh I also bought a festival merch from Raffy and gifted it to him to repair our trust.

Quoting Zo's word: "Adeline is the one who told me and sort of alluded that trinica said it but i don’t think that would be true? "

Quoting Adeline from a couple of rounds ago: "I honestly hairie just don’t know what’s going on, and i feel pretty much like i can’t play with you or trinica individually because you’ve made it clear that you are a strong duo regardless of the tension, and that things will be leaked in between y’all. It doesn’t make me wanna be honest with either of you, it doesn’t make me feel like a valued number at all. And i said the same to trinica but i feel like I’m floating on a boat rn lol"

I of course immediately exchange notes with Trinica. We've discussed about us not having any game talks with Zo but there was never a mention of pushing Zo's name. In fact other people were telling us to watch out for Zo. (I can't remember who I heard it from).

This round:

Jinx prefers Arvin but Arvin is a number for me and Trinica (we've made it known to people).

I think Colin going is better for my game and Trinica's. The problem with that is that nobody but Jinx is receptive to the idea (for this round). Plus I don't want to make Raffy mad at me or us.

Knowing this, it would be good to convince Jinx that keeping Arvin here would be beneficial for them too because Arvin will be a number to vote for Colin when Jinx wants to.

Adeline wants me gone and is very anti Hairie and Trinica - According to Raffy and what his POV is from convos with Adeline in DMs.

Zo has shown that she want me around and sharing this information.

The middleground that we all can meet at this point is to vote for Adeline. And I'm not oppose to the idea so I hope it works.

I have not heard from Amy, Colin, Brandi, Adeline or Arvin (3am 6th September SGT).

I have to catch a call with Zo and Jinx separately. Then a call with the host pets chat.

We're gonna get it, get it together, I know I'm gonna get it, get it together somehow

Raffy

Trinica and I have landed on an Adeline name because Adeline is throwing Trinica under the bus AND they are getting close with Zo and Colin, which has us concerned. We do not want a powerful trio to be able to topple our own. I think I got Amy on board and we are working on Jinx. We were gonna do Zo, but we decided against it since Jinx gave some push back. And next round we are just gonna do Arvin to appease people and get out a goat. We shall see how this all ends up.

Amy

Ugh raffy said a move on Adeline? 👀 Bc apparently Adeline is closer w zo and Colin and I'm like isn't that good? And I was chatting w zo and she was like Adeline said my name? And then I went to Trin like these are the names I've heard and they were like Adeline made up that they heard Zo's name from trinica? And can I be SO HONEST HERE there's a GLARING PATTERN of EVERYONE hearing things from trinica that are "made up" and then trinica just votes them out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's giving creating your own villain character so others aim that way, the classic move. But anyway apparently trinica was talking with Brandi and raffy about the Adeline vote. Personally I'm fine with voting Arvin here take a number from Trinica. And tbh I'd also be fine voting hairie out with his nonsense of reporting directly and immediately to trinica who is openly trying to make me distrust him. Tbh I might just throw a vote on trinica here "rumors only grow" but like I'm glad I look clueless and out of the circle and out of the line of fire but y'all I guess we just have to wait and see until raffy and trinica fight it out??? bc at this point I feel like those are the puppet masters. I want Trinica OUT I'm scared to SPEAK to ANYONE and have them make me a villain for funsies. I want hairie reporting to ME not Trinica!! Like listen Arvin is a cool dude but he's clearly just a goat for Trin like at least I'm doing a little more while being raffy's goat.

But anyway I might step back and let this be an Adeline v trinica fight.

Jinx

we plan and G-d (the new schoolers inability to keep it together) laughs

Arvin

I really hope it's not me tonight, Its sucks to always be the back up vote just in case there would be an idol play, but I'm gonna give it my all that I'm not going to be voted out tonight.

Amy

AHHHHHHHHHHH

not a secret plan that can go very wrong!!!! Raffy killing me bc even if (when) this blows up it will be hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Anyway apparently hairie has an idol and zo, Colin, raffy, me, and an extra vote are blindsiding him. Like the extra vote just gets us to a revote??? Ahahaha anyway silly goofy fun fun times let's ROLL

very concerned jinx will just flip after this 😅 but hairie needed to go anyway and also zo mentioned trinica next maybe which yes 😀

Y'all???? How??? Are??? We??? Doing??? This??? Bye. (Also if it's me this is a hilarious last confessional you're welcome)

Colin

hEY THERES ONLY 10 MINS TO TRIBAL.

ORIGINALLY IT WAS GONNA BE ARVIN

THEN ADELINE WAS KINDA BIMBO AND BLEW UP HER GAME

SO PEOPLE WANNA VOTE ADELINE NOW

EXCEPT ME AND RAFFY HAVE BEEN DOING INVESTIGATING IN THE IDOL HUNT AND DEDUCED THAT HAIRIE HAS AN IDOL

SO NOW WE'RE BLINDSIDING HAIRIE

SHOULD BE FUN

Trinica

(mid-tribal confessional) You're all a bunch of dirty scheming liars!!!!!!

What are your Drag Race hot takes? Your most controversial opinions?

That moment when I actually have so many hot takes but as soon as I got this ask suddenly I've forgotten them all... Took me a minute to remember some ogeruig I'll probably get hate for some of these since imma bring up some fan-faves, also these mostly have to do with the recent American seasons

The first one I could think of: the finale lipsync for the crown should have the queens all in a leotard or something basic. I'm tired of the reveals we can see coming from a mile away, I wanna see a good ol' lipsync

Jackie and/or Heidi should've won the Worlds Worst challenge [the one where Gigi was also in it and they were playing the Del Rio trio] rather than she who shall not be named.. she wasn't even funny or memorable in the challenge

Bob is the best winner imo

S13 was actually a good season but people were hating on it because of the first episode which was shitty and out of the queens control. Additionally, it aired the same time UK2 did and while I admit that season was good, people kept comparing the two and favoring one over the other and hating so much on s13

Kandy was right in the untucked fight with Tamisha. tbh she didn't do anything wrong in saying that Symone was her toughest competition bc by that point she'd won 2 challenges, it's not like she insulted the other girls and said 'fuck the rest of ya'll '

I'm glad Daya did say/call out that skinnier/little queens have it easier when it comes to their outfits and getting away with a lot more than people that don't have that body type

People hate on/criticize Jorgeous for winning that design challenge/the favoritism she gets from Ru that's completely out of her control and for doing bad in the challenges but... another queen that isnt even doing well is Jasmine too.. she's been in the bottom 2 more than Jorgeous has but I see people talk worse about Jorgeous.. idk..

Bosco's nun/succubus look wasn't that good

This isn't just a drag race hot take but a drag one in general, I rather go watch a queen that doesn't look as polished but puts on a fucking show and entertains rather than a queen that just looks pretty/polished and boring to watch

Tina's runway looks were bad but she didn't necessarily do bad in challenges, she didn't stand out either but she shouldn't have gotten as much hate as she did [i dont condone sending hate to anyone ofc, 'fans' who do that are horrible]

As much as I love Denali and Rosé, I'm glad neither of them won. Also made me super upset to hear from Kandy that in the end she didn't wanna win because of the amount of hate she knew she'd get if she did

This isn't a show hot take but a fic one, I dont like it when Mik is called GottMik throughout a fic... also don't like when Mik's written as a trans girl.. esp if Mik isn't even in one of the ships if it's a writer that prefers writing lesbian/wlw ships, just write him as a trans man if he's gonna be a background character.. in real life u dont only know women so why does your fic have to be a full woman cast???

So I actually...enjoyed Loki the show...but I prefer Lokius as a ship and I find your takes on the episodes really interesting! You mention things I hadn't thought of before. tbh I didn't go into the show expecting much in the first place, maybe that explains it lol

Hey no shame, I genuinely envy anyone who was able to find entertainment value in the last three episodes because I spent most of all of them in a silent, perplexed rage lmao. Like, I do get ship/writing preference envy. Do you know how BADLY I wish my brain favored pairings that actually had canon support and romantic advancement??? Not only that, but I genuinely still feel that the first two episodes (and even to some extent the third, in parts) hold up extremely well and, on their own, are pretty good pieces of work. I rewatch them regularly, so that says something.

What it comes down to for me -as it always does in these cases- is the lost potential. What we ended up getting after the first three (generally) strong episodes is not consistent with what was established to begin with, and what was established to begin with was a story that focused on Loki's development as a character alongside his new partner in solving Time Crimes, Agent Mobius, meanwhile both of their preconceived notions about 'how things should work' is unraveling around them along with the multiverse as a whole. Of course it's absolutely possible that I get a little too attached to my own ideas of what should happen next, but then I've enjoyed a great deal of media that took turns other than what I would've chosen- still quality writing choices though that I could respect and didn't feel the need to criticize.

What also doesn't help me is that I watched Wandavision and Winter Falcon (what I lovingly call that show lol) prior to Loki's release and I find that both of these shows were significantly stronger in quality than Loki's series ended up being, so expectations for me were perhaps a bit higher than they should have been. That's not to say Wandavision or Winter Falcon are perfect, I'm still angry about Evan Peters' Pietro and the Ralph Bohner nonsense (tho I'm a Pietro truther and assuming we haven't seen the last of him...that's a different post lol) and Winter Falcon, while having imo pretty solid writing that flows well, is still a little predictable and had some moments that made me roll my eyes a bit (Bucky just so happened to kill the son of his veteran friend who just so happened to be in the same place he was at the right time to get killed??? A WOC leading a group for the humane treatment of human beings is a terrorist?? whahahahaaaaattt??? Bear in mind I might be missing info here, I'm not as schooled on these characters as gay trickster goth) but uh...neither of them ever go completely off the rails and manage to turn into a different show entirely halfway through only 6 episodes. If that were the case Agatha would've just replaced Wanda as the focal character completely instead of getting her own show (that she absolutely deserves!! BTW!!!) and that actually would've made sense and maybe even been funny and...kinda sorta happened but in a way that didn't suck. If Winter Falcon had been like Loki the show would've just entirely pivoted to focus the story on John Walker by the fourth episode and either Bucky or Sam would've been sidelined except to show up to maybe save one of the characters and make a quip. I'm uh...glad that wasn't the case, but you see my point lol.

Lastly, I guess I just feel compelled to share my ideas of what the show could've been, because the potential is just unREAL. Yeah sure I could just shut up and accept that the show wasn't for me and move on with my life, but I'm neurodivergent and I fixate so here we are.
