Banshee Girl Agent of Karma -9/17/2023-

I started The Imperfects only for the action and sci-fi, honestly expecting half decent story and special effects. But boy was I wrong and am I happy about it. Because Instead I got

Well-written, casual asexual representation (one of the main characters is an ace girl whose power is to seduce people and that's just amazing)

Kind of a werewolf but better, cause it's a Mexican guy who turns into a fucking chupacabras

Impressively good special effects, considering most show have low budget and consequentially bad effects on their first season

Amazing soundtrack! They even played Of Monsters And Men which is my favorite band

Well-written young adult characters! Can you believe that?

Two of the main characters were artists for a living (a singer and a comic book artist) and they weren't starving, they were actually doing pretty great!

A good balance of drama, comedy and action. Also a little bit of romance without making the entire show about it!

TLDR: go watch The Imperfects on Netflix, it's great!

She... she calls it “Chupi”.

THE IMPERFECTS 1.03 “Portland Warehouse Massacre”

No tv show does representation like the imperfects. We got

- an asexual lesbian scientist woman of color

- a monster fucker

- an autistic scientist who’s also the funniest character ever

- a Mexican immigrant

- Tilda, who’s just, like, a bitch, but I would die for her.

Fuck it, here's 5 reasons to watch The Imperfects on netflix other than Abbi being ace (not because that's a bad reason, but because a show having representation doesn't mean it actually has a good plot):

Juan Ruiz writes comic books for a living, that he illegally prints through his university library

Tilda Weber is kind of a bitch, but she also genuinely cares, and she shows it in surprising ways

The villain is so unlike your typical mad scientist, but also addresses why scientists need humanities courses (Introduction to Modern Poetry, funniest character detail I can think of)

Abbi Singh's battle cry being "GUINEA PIGS BITE BACK!!!", absolutely iconic

Monster fucker rights, alongside plot of accepting even the most fucked up parts of yourself, and defining what it means to be human

is it too early to talk about that part in The Imperfects trailer where Juan was tied up and said Darcy called the chupacabra “chupi” and Abbi and Tilda were like AWWW WHO'S A GOOD CHUPI?! YES YOU ARE

Abbi: juan, what time is it

Juan: I'm not sure, can you pass me that kazoo

Abbi: uh sure

*juan violently plays the kazoo*

Tilda: WHO THE FUCK IS PLAYING A KAZOO AT 2AM

abbi: oh its 2am

The Imperfects (2022)

The coming of rage trio: Abbi Singh, Juan Ruiz, & Tilda Weber

There's an asexual main character in The Imperfects!!!

ID: 4 gifs from The Imperfects season 1 episode 1. Gif 1: Abbi looks bothered as she tells Juan and Tilda "People can't help but get aroused by me". Gif 2: The three look away from each other as Tilda gestures with her flask and says "That was a long way across the stage to tell us you smell sexy". Gif 3: Abbi looks at the others again and says "It can be a little more complicated, if you're ace". Gif 4: Abbi shrugs her shoulders slightly, telling them "I'm ace". The text is colored in the asexual flag colors. END ID.

I love him so freaking much😂

Also minor PSA of things I love about The Imperfects:

- Abbi being canon ace!

- Juan/Tilda 100%… I ship them so hard it’s quite crazy

- Tilda’s hairstyle

- The fact that the three of them turn into atypical monsters is pretty cool, not the stereotypical superhero stuff

- Alex Sarkov’s dialogue is hilarious, he’s just a weird villain. I hated him in episode 1 but then he started growing on me

- when Tilda asks Owen, “Why do you need your powers to start doing nice things?” just really hit home for me

- the action-y and graphic violence parts are nicely done… and anytime Juan transforms and rips someone’s face off

- every time THE IMPERFECTS scrolls across the screen in huge font

“no, transformers are robots in disguise” juan ruiz I would fight a thousand armies for u

i'm enjoying the imperfects it's a silly little show and it gives me serotonin but i do absolutely despise how they handled/are handling? tilda and juan's relationship like... what even is that 🧍🏻 they were both still dating their significant others yet they flirted with each other a whole lot then they went back to them and told them they loved them then they flirted again idk i don't think either darcy nor pj deserved this and i don't know for the life of me why they constantly have to just throw stupid and unnecessary romantic subplots at our faces in tv series especially when the people involved ALREADY HAVE THEIR ROMANTIC SUBPLOTS eye. the way they got rid of their s/o at some point made me roll my eyes so far back into my skull istg i like them as friends i absolutely couldn't care less for them as a couple
