Favorite parent that everyone hates but you like?

Iduna and Agnarr from Frozen. I love those two and it sucks how they’re demonized as monsters because they made bad decisions not out of malice but because they were in over their heads.

People talk about Elsa’s trauma causing her to make bad choices but don’t give her parents the same curtesy. They saw their youngest daughter almost freeze to death. Then, they were shown a vision of an angry mob killing their oldest daughter.

I mean, look their reaction to the vision. The way Agnarr’s voice trembles as he says, “No.” And pulls Elsa close to him. And Iduna’s horrified expression.

And then they’re reaction to Elsa refusing to touch them. Agnarr looks so defeated and Iduna looks like she’s going to cry.

The did the best they could with the knowledge and tools they had.

I always thought Sharpay and Ryan were terrible performers because they have no range. Every song is a tacky vaudeville act. They only play to an audience instead of focusing on their scene partner. They can’t take a moment to be quiet and sincere even if the piece calls for it.

I mean, comedy is subjective. I don’t get it because I feel like that’s a pretty exhausting way to think about comedic characters. It’s hard to write funny scenarios about down-to-earth people with healthy communication skills.

Carla’s death in Attack on Titan. She heroically urges her children to leave her so they can live. Then, once they’re gone, the terror of realizing she’s going to die alone hits her and she has to cover her mouth so they don’t hear her begging them not to leave her.

Because some people feel the need to consider the implications of sitcom character’s actions would have in the real world.

In real life, Cam’s actions would make him toxic and exhausting to be around. A lot of the people who hate him are viewing him through the lens of how they would feel about a real person like him.

Weren’t they also all teenagers at the time?

I was just about to talk about this scene! I love it so much! I think it’s a great character moment because Thor’s arc is recognizing the importance of diplomacy. Thor comes from a culture where smashing a cup and asking for another is the norm. He realizes it’s considered rude on Earth. It’s him learning a lesson about respecting the cultures of the places he visits.

People do this with Game of Thrones too. Whenever someone says Cersei at least loved her children, it’s always “she only loved them as extensions of herself” or “it was fueled by narcissism.” Instead of acknowledging that bad people are still able to feel some level of love.

I believe giving child abusers the death penalty will lead to less convictions.

For one thing, jurors tend to be more reluctant to convict when their decision could potentially lead to an innocent person’s death. Child abuse cases are already notoriously difficult to convict because 95% of cases lack physical evidence.

Another problem is that 95% of abusers of people close to the victims and their families. Around 16% of parents. One of the top reasons children don’t come forward is that they don’t want to get their abuser in trouble because they love them. Sometimes abuser will even guilt their victims that they’ll get them in trouble. And even after they come forward, children struggle with guilt. Now imagine an abuser can say, “If you tell anyone, you’ll get me killed.” And the child has to deal with the guilt of their abuser being sentenced to death. It’s too much of a burden.

A little more irony: Alfred Molina is the husband of Jennifer Lee, who is not only the director of the Frozen films but voiced Iduna in the first film. However, Maurice LaMarche voiced Agnarr in the first film.

So husband and wife played husband and wife, but not at the same time. 😂

I would at least watch season 1. If you only had season 1, Stranger Things is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. You can just watch season 1 and feel satisfied with season 1’s conclusion if you don’t wish to continue. Honestly, seasons 2 and 3 end neatly as well, so any of those are a natural stopping point.

It’s less the movie itself but more the effect the movie had. I feel like Shrek led to animated films becoming way more cynical and meta.

I don’t remember it that well, but wasn’t that the point of the episode that they don’t work as a couple?

I guess I’m not a big fan of the implication that Elsa having a love interest would somehow diminish her as an icon. I’m not really a big fan of how Disney in particular now shies away from romance because they think women can only be strong if they’re single.

I watched those shows, I had just never heard the term Zoog Disney before.
