The only one of these I've found decent is Aliciaxdeath's. Even though she's also a troon-lover, she explicitly said that she doesn't think everyone who finds them gross and annoying should die or are inherently evil, and she related a personal story about her own previous suicide attempt that was actually more emotionally impactful than anything in the episode itself.
To be fair glitch advertised it being 90 minutes by slapping the previous episode before the finale. Not to mention the 30 minutes in theater ads before it so people probably sat for 2 hours watching this shit
I don't know about Kinger being based off of Coop's dad, but I do see Jax's crashout against him at the beginning of episode 9 as a projection of his own daddy issues. He saw Kinger "killing" Caine as betraying and abandoning him and the rest of the group just like his own father had walked out on him in the real world before he was scanned into the circus.
no i was ripping no the clown show and thought it probably absolutely sucks but eh ill watch the pilot its free
While avoiding TMI'ing myself, I can say that I didn't have the greatest relationship with my dad either, and the worst thing that happened to me was that I became a Kiwi Farms user.
most of the characters in lost had daddy issues
Me too, man, that's why I said it like that. Like Goose thinks he's some special boy with super mysterious trauma because his dad walked out, lmao
I'll say that just because the trauma is common, doesn't necessarily mean you aren't allowed to still feel traumatized. What I take issue with is we don't get to see how it shaped Jax as a person. We only get the line that he felt like he was never good enough. Ok that's a start but how do we get from their to "I want to cut my dick off and abuse women"? If you have actual trauma then self-pity is expected but he never earns that right. Especially with how the Ribbit scene ends. He was loved, he had friends, and aside from his schizo mom we don't see any reason why he should be so defensive. They wait until the final hour to dump his backstory all at once and it only skims the surface.
These are the same people who claim they don't want to go to Heaven because it's "boring."
I guarantee he does because he has a fulltime job now which means he has responsibility and needs to keep up routines to make deadlines. The later half of the show feels rushed as hell and I don't doubt he wanted to give up professional animation after the honeymoon phase of getting your own show wore off.
Jax is supposed to be the closeted character. 20 years ago he would have been revealed as gay rather than trans. The point is to demonstrate that not being your authentic self causes emotional distress to yourself and others. Jax chose to internalize that he should never act effeminate and decided to be like the biggest masculine influence on his life; his abusive father.
