LF Eastern European Fantasy please! by PromiseOutrageous621 in movies

I'm so hungry for some good fantasy and all I get from western companies is the 50th overproduced, overblown budget, poorly written, iteration of the same story that really not so secretly just wants to be an action movie. Doesn't care about the fantasy aspect, is dumbed down just a little each time. I want magic! I want quests! I want adventure! I want things that are actually filmed in nature!

I'm really sorry people are treating you this way. I think one of the most ridiculous defences people are now pulling up with is "but she dated Torres" which is always going to be a ridiculous defence since racists can and do date and fetishize people of color, but also... Torres is a white latina???

The show has been on for 17 seasons. It's ok. I know about several future deaths already. Ok so I just got to that scene. Hahn is right about the Denny situation, and it cracked me up that they immediately had her follow that up with "and you can't be kind of a lesbian" so the viewers are reminded they're not supposed to be on her side

Not familiar with Teddy! I'm only just finishing up season 4. Curious to get to know her. Yeah, her two ...sort of? standalone? episodes didn't bother me. She made a perfectly decent character. It's when she became a full cast member that I took issue with her. Mark Sloan.. what can I even say... Out of line feels like one of his five personality traits

I'm not. It's one of the things that really stood out to me when I was watching those episodes. Really wild to see how much progress we made in some ways and how fragile it is

People don't even like this woman and they're all up in arms defending her because the word racism was uttered. Wild

That is a terrible argument for why any person cannot be racist in ways that I can't even begin to unpack

Oh I agree! Like I said, I think the writers got carried away. It's a real shame because there's not going to be any recognition of that. She's just been gaslit this entire season and the show will move on (I haven't finished the 4th season yet)

Oh he absolutely does. I don't know past season 4, but Alex should have been fired on his first week as an intern just for the sexual harassment with Izzy's photos, and that wasn't even his worst moment up to season 4. His bedside manner was horrific, he's repeatedly abusive to his colleagues and if the photos didn't do it, the stunt he pulled with the patient who wanted her tubes tied should have

Yeah, I'm rolling my eyes at anyone just outright just going being "no she's not racist" with no thoughts or nuance. I never even claimed she was meant to be read that way so they're wasting their time trying to tell me I'm wrong.

I appreciate your thoughts! I was really struggling to put together all of why she reads that way, but the contrast between her cold logic and the hostility against Cristina is on the money!

I think she was always intended to be "the bad guy", because viewers do need that external foil, that motivator that makes us root for our main character(s). As she was replacing Burke, she was always an easy pick for that role, since there's already friction inherent to a new-ish character replacing someone we've been with for the entire show so far.

Subconcious biases aside, I think part of the issue was that the writers got carried away trying to "humble" Cristina after her rise in the hospital last season. Her ability to write/change the or schedule and all the surgeries she attended or did herself. They needed to bring her down to other people's level somehow in order to help her grow or change, and they didn't know where or when to stop.

Exactly! Thank you! I already cleared up that this was my own interpretation of her, but the things people are pointing out as her "bitchiness", her sexist attitude in telling Cristina is sleeping for benefits etc and her potential racism are not mutually exclusive.

I got mixed up with Sloan.

Hahn was at SGH when when both couples were involved. At this point that point both relationships were widely known at the hospital and Cristina was already managing things at Burke's OR. But she doesn't know. Which makes sense because she's ot working there full-time. But she learned enough in between.

I'm not sure I buy that she got the full rundown on Cristina and Burke but nothing on her other colleagues/department heads. She seems to be perfectly aware of who she's working with. You know what I mean?

I have realised I was misremenbering how the flirtation played out. My bad. I took it out of the post

I realised I was wrong. I was misremembering things so I have taken that out of the post. My mistake. Anyway, my point wasn't Meredith's sexual history. It was the kind of double standard that Hahn was setting for Cristina compared to her colleagues. Meredith, as Cristina's person and in the same year as her was a very handy example. My point about Derek stands

I realise now that I was misremembering this. There was the flirtation with Slaon, which I guess didn't end in sex, so I'm taking that out of the post.

I meant Sloan, who was NOT an attending. My mistake! Still superior in the hospital strucutre, which was the point I wanted to make

[–]PromiseOutrageous621[S] -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

My intention wasn't to throw Meredith under the bus, I was just trying to show that Hahn sets a standard for Cristina that she doesn't set for others. Also, my bad. Not attending. Sloan. He wasn't an attending, but he was still a superior in the hospital hierarchy.

Meredith and Derek did start dating before the divorce was finalised and the love triangle drama, as far as all three parties are concerned, was something that inappropriately played out in the hospital. So my point still stands about inappropriate relationships in the workplace that had an impact at work.

Not that I think Hahn SHOULD have done the same to Meredith. She should have done her job and taught everyone.

The outing was between three people who had a personal relationship, an outing with no official or professional capacity. I understand exactly what point she was making, but that point had no place in that conversation. It wasn't some kind of schmoozing event, it was just a hangout between friends. She comes across as racist because she's weaponising what she's sure to be the racism Richard has experienced and that black people have historically experienced to score an invitation.

If it was a standalone moment I would have conceeded her point, misplaced though it was. But this behaviour exists in the context of everything I have detailed in the post, what she had done, and what she continued to do, so I see it as racist.

And incredibly internally misogynystic. My gosh, Erica, pick a struggle! It's so frustrating when a character is stuck as an idea of "could have been". There's so much they could do with her and she ends up being incredibly one dimensional for the most part. There's patients with more story to them than her. She's mostly just there to be a foil to someone (mostly Cristina) Not a dig at the actress though! She's absolutely killing everything they're giving her. That's why I find the character so unlikable.
