He's So Pretty

He's so pretty

shoutout to characters that you love dearly but if you dont see them get punched in the face canonically on screen by the time this media is over there will be a problem

the way siobhan's character was played was a refreshing surprise, and i'm very happy that she wasn't posed as a minor villain. its extremely easy to introduce a group of three young girls and make them your minor villains, with little to no questioning from the audience as to your motivations. the subversion of her at the end makes that feel almost silly; siobhan is a little girl. obviously she isn't being malicious in calling Kat "kay-kay", or Raúl his deadname. obviously she isn't being malicious in believing the best in her parents. i enjoy her earnestness, and i enjoy that she chooses to change; it isn't a trait young girls are often afforded in media.

Writers, please, please, please, I am begging you

I know we don't vibe with Mary Sues, and I know we like watching characters fail...

But if your character is the world's best assassin, they shouldn't be botching nearly every single step of every single job just because the plot demands it. If your character is one of the greatest fighters to ever live, they can't badly lose every single fight the plot throws at them and then barely win the final confrontation. If your character is a competent military strategist, they need at least a few small successes during the course of the plot. If your character is an experienced leader, they can't be constantly making the kind of missteps that realistically would cause their subordinates to lose confidence in them.

If your character is good at something. Show them being good at it.
