I'm on the fence about watching it because honestly I don't care about a teenager lol. I have heard good things about it though. I just don't know if I could sit through 'teen angst growing pains'.

[(Anonymous)]

To paraphrase some ancient Greek "Call no MCU show quality until it is done."

Because yeah, I've been enjoying its energy and its cinematography and it's characters but I still expect it to faceplate at the finish line.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't get into it somehow? I love the characters, especially the family. I also enjoy what we see of her community. But I don't care that much about her origin story and the mystery? The latest episode had an interesting ending, so it might get better.

It might also be personal. Like someone up-thread I had trouble caring about a teenager's woes, fortunately the show moved on pretty quickly. Might also be that it started airing when Kenobi was on, on the same day. And I've been a fan of that character since I was Kamala's age.

I'm enjoying the show and it's objectively very good, but it's not my personal favorite.

I loved this one from day 1. It skews a bit young for me, but most of the time it does not bother me. The characters are so lovable and well-written, though.

I love everything about it. I was kinda checked out of the MCU but felt I had to watch it because I loved the comics. And they're doing it perfect imo. Even though I don't really watch much teen-oriented TV, it's so engaging and vibrant and joyful. And I could just as easily watch an entire show of scenes with Kamala's family and friends being domestic or an entire show of action sequences that genuinely use their location in interesting ways, but then the show delivers both.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not bad, but it's pretty meh for me. I find Kamala herself a bit annoying and tiresome, which is probably the main issue for me. She is SO believably a teenager, which could definitely be applauded as good writing, but I guess I don't necessarily want a lead who is that authentically a teenager.

Also, the very basic, Point A to Point B wish fulfillment of her longing to be special and then "Oh hey, she IS special!" is just not a dynamic I find interesting or engaging. Especially since the character is otherwise so unremarkable; she doesn't really DO anything interesting, anything that any average person wouldn't do, until way after she's gotten her powers, which is my least favorite type of protagonist. The wish fulfillment aspects of the show are just way too basic and right on the surface for me. And I think they're doing the whole "Character realizes they had a simplistic concept of what being special would entail and then has to grown up and take on the responsibility of the thing they naively thought would be all fun and coolness" arc, but that also doesn't really interest me. So...yeah.

It's genuinely not bad so far, it's just not doing anything for me personally. *shrug*

[(Anonymous)]

It's kinda of annoying that a lot of Marvel related stuff coming out recently I would have been interested in some years ago but now I'm just so burned out on Marvel content that I can't muster any interest in the new stuff. I just can't be bothered anymore.

Wonder what he’d make of the Fate games.

[(Anonymous)]

the thing with that is, Sanzo has always been portrayed by a woman in any media. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a male Sanzo except for Saiyuki (which is animated anyway but I digress)

the real Sanzo might’ve been a man but media portrayals are always dissimilar to history

[(Anonymous)]

I haven’t seen this version but I loved the classic Monkey Magic where the priest was also played by a woman.
I always assumed that she was just playing a male role, not that the character actually became female.
Does this guy also hate Kabuki because the women are played by men?

[(Anonymous)]

Whenever I think of Sanzo I always think of Katsuya Terada's take on her. One of my earliest exposures to ~*~artistic~*~ BDSM.

[(Anonymous)]

Can someone please provide me with the name I could search for this production? Thank you!

I would be interested to hear Brits opinions on this, as I've not read her work. I'm afraid OP that coming from an American, that your verdict means nothing and you're probably right about HP fic informing your opinion.

But why do actual character development when you can just say "ex-marine turned cop" instead and justify any skill they need by pulling it out your ass with "Ah learnud it in thur mareens"?
